  • How long does asphalt last in South Carolina?

    According to our expertise, a well-installed and properly maintained asphalt paving typically lasts 15 to 20 years in South Carolina's climate. Regular sealcoating and repairs can further extend its lifespan.

  • Do you offer free estimates for paving projects?

    Yes. CPI Paving LLC provides free, no-obligation asphalt paving estimates for residential driveways, commercial parking lots, private roads, and resurfacing projects.

  • How often should asphalt be sealcoated?

    Asphalt paving sealcoating is typically recommended every two to three years to protect against UV rays, heat, and water damage, which is especially important in South Carolina, where summers are hot and humid. In fact, according to OneCrew, following this strategic sealcoating schedule can transform a standard 15-year pavement lifespan into 25 or more years of service.

  • Do you handle drainage issues before paving?

    Yes. Proper drainage is essential for long-lasting asphalt paving. We can grade, slope, or add drainage solutions to prevent water pooling and premature asphalt damage.

  • Can asphalt be installed during the winter?

    Asphalt paving can be installed in cooler months, but it requires the right weather conditions. We'll evaluate the temperature and scheduling to ensure your project is completed with proper compaction and durability.

  • Do you provide paving services for commercial properties?

    Yes. We handle parking lots, industrial facilities, retail centers, office complexes, warehouses, schools, churches, and municipalities with full-service commercial asphalt paving solutions.

  • How long does a commercial asphalt paving project take?

    Project timelines depend on size, weather, and site conditions. In our experience, most small to medium parking lots are completed in one to three days, while larger commercial projects may take several days to a week. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your business operations. To get started on your parking lot paving, request a quote.

  • Do you provide asphalt resurfacing for commercial lots?

    Yes. If the base is still solid, resurfacing (overlay) is a cost-effective way to restore worn parking lot paving. We'll evaluate whether resurfacing or full reconstruction is the best long-term solution.

  • Why is sealcoating important?

    Sealcoating asphalt paving helps:


    - Extend the life of your asphalt


    - Prevent cracks and potholes


    - Protect from sun and chemical damage


    - Improve curb appeal with a clean, dark surface

  • How long does sealcoating take to dry?

    In our experience, a typical sealcoat application dries enough for light foot traffic on asphalt paving in four to eight hours and can usually handle vehicle traffic in 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
