How Our Paving Jobs Are Run

Paving Contractors Corpus Christi builds and maintains asphalt driveways, parking lots and private drives in Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend towns around it. The work runs from new pavement and full replacements to overlays, sealcoating, pothole and crack repair, and parking lot striping.

Paving on the coast is mostly a water problem. Corpus Christi sits about 6.6 feet above sea level on flat ground, and a single storm can drop several inches of rain in a day. Pavement that is not sloped to drain, or that sits on a base that stays wet, breaks down far faster than the surface suggests. So every visit starts with how water moves across the lot and where it ends up, then the condition of the base, and only then the asphalt.

At the estimate we measure, mark low spots, probe soft areas and look at where the driveway or lot meets the street. Corpus Christi treats the driveway approach and curb in the public right-of-way as its own permitted work, with its own fee, notice period and inspection, so we tell you whether your project reaches that strip before anything is priced.

The written quote separates removal, base work, asphalt thickness, edges, sealing and striping, each with its own price. Work starts when you approve it in writing, and any change in scope gets written up for your approval first.
