Paving Contractor Services

Preferred Paving is the paving contractor that property owners, developers, and facility managers across Southern California count on for reliable, high-quality paving services.

We specialize in asphalt, one of the most durable and cost-effective types of pavement available. Whether you need a brand-new installation, a full resurfacing, or long-term maintenance, our crew has the tools, experience, and skill to handle it from start to finish.

When you work with Preferred Paving, you get a reliable partner who knows the paving industry inside and out.

What Is Pavement, and Why Choose Asphalt?

Asphalt is a flexible type of pavement made by combining aggregates like sand and crushed stone with a binder called bitumen. This mix is heated, poured, and compacted to create a smooth surface that handles heavy traffic, temperature changes, and water exposure far better than most alternatives. 

Asphalt surfaces are popular for a reason. They offer faster installation, quicker curing times, and are more cost efficient. When properly maintained, asphalt pavement lasts for decades and is much easier to repair than concrete or pavers. 

At Preferred Paving, we engineer it to meet the specific needs of your site, from subgrade to surface. 

Built for Southern California Conditions

Asphalt pavement in Southern California needs to withstand strong UV exposure, fluctuating temperatures, and seasonal rains. Many pavement failures are caused by improper installation, poor grading, or low-quality materials. At Preferred Paving, we understand these local challenges and build surfaces that hold up over time. 

We use region-appropriate mix designs, apply proper compaction techniques, and build solid foundations that support long-term performance. Our materials and processes are chosen with California conditions in mind.

New Construction Asphalt Paving

We construct brand-new asphalt surfaces for both commercial and residential clients, handling projects ranging from driveways and roadways to parking lots and private access routes.

The result is a smooth, durable surface engineered to perform reliably for years to come.

Full-Depth Asphalt Removal & Replacement

For pavements experiencing significant cracking or surface failure, we provide full-depth removal and replacement. This process involves removing the existing asphalt, properly reconditioning and recompacting the base, and installing new asphalt to restore the pavement’s structural strength and long-term performance.

Get Started

Pothole Repairs

Pothole repairs refer to the process of filling and restoring isolated depressions in asphalt pavement that have formed due to water infiltration, traffic loads, and environmental wear. A pothole is a bowl-shaped hole that develops when the pavement surface breaks apart and deteriorates, exposing and damaging the surrounding asphalt and sub-grade beneath. Pothole repairs are a critical aspect of pavement maintenance because they prevent further damage, improve safety, and restore smooth driving conditions.

Crack Fill

Crack fill is a pavement maintenance technique that involves applying a flexible or semi-flexible material into surface cracks in asphalt pavement to prevent water, debris, and vegetation from penetrating into the underlying layers. It is primarily used for non-working cracks, those with minimal movement, to extend the life of the pavement and delay more costly repairs.

Get Started

Mill & Overlay

Mill and overlay is a pavement rehabilitation process that involves removing the top layer of an existing asphalt surface (milling) and then applying a new layer of hot mix asphalt (overlay). This technique restores smoothness, structural integrity, and appearance while preserving the underlying pavement layers, making it more cost-effective than full-depth reconstruction.

Get Started

Overlay

An overlay is a layer of new asphalt applied over an existing pavement surface to restore and improve structural performance, as well as enhance appearance without fully removing the underlying pavement. It is a cost-effective maintenance or rehabilitation technique used when the existing pavement remains structurally sound but exhibits surface-level wear, minor cracking, or weathering.
