Question 1

How much does asphalt paving cost in Odessa, TX?

Accepted Answer

Plan on $9–$15 per square foot for a new 3-inch residential driveway with base, $3.25–$5.75 for a 1.5–2 inch commercial mill-and-overlay, and $0.22–$0.38 for a two-coat sealcoat on sound pavement. Oil-field yards run higher because the section is thicker. Those are 2026 planning bands, not bids — thickness, drainage, and striping move the number.

Question 2

Do you serve Midland as well as Odessa?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Odessa, West Odessa, Midland, Gardendale, and Goldsmith are the core area. The shop is on Kermit Highway in Odessa.

Question 3

When is the best time to pave in the Permian Basin?

Accepted Answer

January through April and September through October are the quality windows. We do pave in summer, but commercial overlays in July and August are usually night work so the mix is compacted instead of cooked.

Question 4

Can you sealcoat alligator-cracked asphalt?

Accepted Answer

No. Sealcoat on failed pavement is cosmetic. Alligatoring is a base or structural problem and needs a patch or overlay. We will tell you that on the walkthrough instead of taking the easy gallon.

Question 5

How long does a new asphalt driveway last in Odessa?

Accepted Answer

A properly built driveway with edge support and a sealcoat every few years should give you 15–20 years. A thin overlay on a bad base in this sun is a 4–6 year product.

Question 6

Are you licensed and insured in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry liability and workers’ comp, and we put the one-year workmanship warranty in the contract — including what it excludes.

Question 7

Do I need a permit to pave a private lot in Odessa?

Accepted Answer

Private lots usually do not need a paving permit; work in the City of Odessa right-of-way does, and ADA restripe on commercial lots has rules. We flag that in the scope so you are not surprised.

Question 8

What binder do you use for Permian heat?

Accepted Answer

We specify a PG binder that holds at West Texas pavement temperatures rather than a generic East Texas mix. The grade is written on the quote with thickness and tons.

Question 9

How fast can you patch a hazardous pothole?

Accepted Answer

Same-week for trip hazards and blown drive-lane panels in the Odessa–Midland area, weather allowing. Full overlays book further out, especially in spring.

Question 10

Do you restripe after paving?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Layout, ADA stalls, fire lanes, and stop bars are part of a commercial quote unless you explicitly want to keep a striping sub.
