CPI Paving LLC

  • How long does asphalt last in South Carolina?

    In South Carolina's climate, a properly installed and maintained asphalt surface generally lasts between 15 to 20 years. Regular maintenance, including sealcoating and timely repairs, can significantly increase its longevity.
  • Do you offer free estimates for paving projects?

    We do provide complimentary, no-obligation estimates for a variety of paving projects. This includes residential driveways, commercial parking lots, private roads, and resurfacing work.
  • How often should asphalt be sealcoated?

    We recommend sealcoating every 2 to 3 years to safeguard against UV rays, heat, and moisture damage. This is particularly crucial in South Carolina's hot and humid climate.
  • Do you handle drainage issues before paving?

    Indeed, we address drainage concerns prior to paving. Effective drainage is crucial for durable pavement. Our services include grading, sloping, or implementing drainage solutions to prevent water accumulation and premature asphalt deterioration.
  • Can asphalt be installed during the winter?

    Asphalt installation is possible during cooler months, provided the weather conditions are suitable. We assess temperature and scheduling to ensure your project achieves proper compaction and durability.
  • Do you provide paving services for commercial properties?

    We offer comprehensive commercial asphalt paving solutions for a wide range of properties. Our services cover parking lots, industrial facilities, retail centers, office complexes, warehouses, schools, churches, and municipal projects.
  • How long does a commercial asphalt paving project take?

    The duration of commercial paving projects varies based on size, weather, and site conditions. Typically, small to medium parking lots are completed in 1 to 3 days, while larger commercial projects may require several days to a week. We plan our work schedule to minimize disruption to your business operations.
  • Do you provide asphalt resurfacing for commercial lots?

    We do offer asphalt resurfacing for commercial lots. If the existing base is structurally sound, resurfacing (also known as overlay) can be a cost-effective method to rejuvenate a worn parking lot. We'll assess whether resurfacing or complete reconstruction is the most beneficial long-term solution.
  • Why is sealcoating important?

    Sealcoating is vital as it prolongs the lifespan of your asphalt, prevents the formation of cracks and potholes, shields against sun and chemical damage, and enhances the appearance of your pavement with a clean, dark surface.
  • How long does sealcoating take to dry?

    The drying time for a standard sealcoat application varies. It's typically ready for light foot traffic within 4 to 8 hours. Vehicle traffic can usually resume after 24 to 48 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity levels.
