Asphalt Contractor Chula Vista – 30 Years of Local Paving Excellence
Last month, a property manager called me about a parking lot off Main Street that had been repaved twice in three years. Both times, the asphalt failed before the warranty expired. When I looked at it, I could tell exactly what happened. The base wasn’t compacted right, drainage pitched the wrong way, and they’d laid asphalt during the hottest part of August. Classic mistakes that happen when contractors don’t understand local conditions.
Here’s what I’ve learned after three decades as anasphalt contractor in Chula Vista: this city will expose bad workmanship fast. We’ve got coastal humidity from the bay, intense heat around the 805 corridor, and soil conditions that change from neighborhood to neighborhood. A driveway in Eastlake deals with different issues than one in Castle Park.
My family started Superior Asphalt in 1994, right when Chula Vista was becoming the second-largest city in San Diego County. We’ve paved commercial lots along Olympic Parkway, repaired roads on the Westside, and handled everything from Otay Ranch developments to small residential driveways in Bonita. Through it all, we’ve focused on doing the work right so it lasts.
Asphalt work isn’t cheap, and bottom-dollar pricing usually means cut corners. But there’s a difference between expensive and fair. We price jobs based on what it takes to do quality work in Chula Vista’s climate. We use proper materials, prep sites correctly, and don’t rush. That’s why we’ve been the trusted asphalt contractor here for thirty years.
Whether you need a driveway fixed in Sunbow, parking lot striping near the Millenia, or commercial road work in Rancho del Rey, we’ve done it before. The sections below break down our services and explain what you should expect when you hire us.
Paving Contractor
We handle residential and commercial paving projects throughout Chula Vista County with the expertise that comes from decades of local experience and proven techniques.
Driveway Paving
Transform your home’s curb appeal with professional driveway paving. We use quality materials and proven techniques to create driveways that last decades in Chula Vista’s climate.
Commercial Asphalt Paving
From office complexes to retail centers, we deliver commercial paving solutions that handle heavy traffic while maintaining professional appearance and durability for your business.
Driveway Installation
Complete driveway installation services from excavation to final coating. We handle permits, grading, and installation with attention to drainage and longevity in Chula Vista conditions.
Road Construction Company
Road construction takes specialized equipment and knowledge of how different materials perform under heavy use. We build private roads, access lanes, and driveways that handle commercial truck traffic without breaking down after a few years.
Asphalt Parking Lot Striping
Fresh striping makes your parking lot look professional and guides traffic safely. We paint clear lines for parking spaces, fire lanes, handicap spots, and directional arrows that meet all local codes.
Asphalt Milling
Milling grinds away the top layer of worn asphalt before we overlay new material. This process levels out ruts and damage while creating the rough surface needed for new asphalt to bond properly.
Speed Bump Installation
Speed bumps slow down traffic in parking lots and residential areas without causing vehicle damage. We install them at proper heights and intervals based on your property’s traffic patterns and safety needs.
Concrete Contractor
Concrete work pairs naturally with asphalt projects since most properties need both. We handle curbs, ramps, and gutters so you don’t have to coordinate between multiple contractors to finish one job.
Curb and Gutter Repair
Cracked curbs and gutters let water pool against your asphalt, which speeds up deterioration. We repair or replace damaged sections to redirect water away from pavement and prevent expensive damage down the road.
Handicap Ramp Installation
ADA ramps require specific slopes, widths, and surface textures to meet code. We install compliant ramps that provide safe access for wheelchairs and meet all state and federal accessibility requirements for commercial properties.
Concrete to Asphalt Conversion
Old concrete driveways crack and settle over time, making them expensive to fix. Converting to asphalt gives you a smoother surface that’s easier to maintain and costs less to repair when problems eventually show up.
Excavating Contractor
Good excavation work determines whether your pavement lasts five years or twenty. We own our equipment and handle all the dirt work ourselves, so the base is done right before any asphalt gets laid.
Excavation Services
We dig out failed pavement, remove unsuitable soil, and create the proper depth for your new asphalt or concrete. The excavation phase sets up everything else, and rushing through it causes problems you’ll pay for later.
Site Clearing
Before any paving happens, we clear vegetation, remove old materials, and haul away debris. Clean site prep means no roots pushing up through new asphalt and no hidden soft spots that cause settling.
Grading and Leveling
Proper grading directs water away from buildings and prevents pooling on your pavement. We grade sites to create the right slope for drainage while keeping surfaces level enough for vehicles and foot traffic.
Why Chula Vista Trusts Superior Asphalt
Building trust in the asphalt industry takes time, and after three decades serving San Diego communities, we’ve learned that our reputation speaks louder than any advertising. From Point Loma to Poway, our work stands as testimony to our commitment to quality and fair dealing.
We’ve been working in Chula Vista since before Eastlake had houses and when Olympic Parkway was still being planned. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident. You stick around for thirty years because people trust your work enough to call you back and recommend you to their neighbors. We’ve paved driveways in every part of this city, from the older homes near Hilltop to the newer developments in Otay Ranch. Each neighborhood has different soil conditions and drainage challenges, and we’ve learned how to handle all of them.
Being local means something beyond just having a Chula Vista address. When we finish a job on your property, we’re driving past it on our way to the next one. We see our work every day around town. That keeps us honest and motivated to do things right because our reputation is visible on every street.
This business started as a family operation in 1994, and it’s still run by family today. We’re not a franchise or a national chain that moves crews around from city to city. The person who gives you a quote is connected to the crew doing the work, and we’re all invested in making sure you’re happy with the results. When something needs attention after the job is done, you call the same number and talk to people who remember your project.
Speed matters when you’ve got a business parking lot that needs work or a driveway that’s blocking access to your garage. We keep our equipment maintained and our schedule organized so we can start jobs quickly. But fast doesn’t mean sloppy. We’ve streamlined our process over thirty years to work efficiently without skipping the steps that matter. Proper base compaction takes the time it takes. Asphalt needs to cure at the right temperature. We move quickly on the things that can be rushed and take our time on the things that can’t.
Our quotes reflect the actual cost of doing quality work in Chula Vista. We don’t play games with low-ball estimates that balloon once we start the job. When we give you a price, that’s what you pay unless you ask us to add something we didn’t originally discuss. We’ve built this business on straightforward pricing and delivering exactly what we promise.

After 30 years of serving San Diego families and businesses, we know that every project starts with a conversation. Whether you need a simple driveway repair in Clairemont or a complete parking lot renovation in Mission Valley, we’re here to provide the same honest assessment and fair pricing that’s built our reputation.
Don’t wait for small asphalt problems to become major headaches. Cracks and potholes only get worse with time, especially with San Diego’s temperature changes and occasional heavy rains during our winter months. Getting ahead of these issues saves money and prevents bigger problems down the road.
Ready to Fix Your Asphalt Problem?
Look, I talk to people every single week who put off dealing with their asphalt issues. They saw a crack six months ago, figured it wasn’t a big deal, and now there’s a pothole the size of a dinner plate. What could’ve been a small repair is now a huge budget replacement. I get it – nobody wants to spend money on their driveway. But ignoring it just makes the bill bigger.
If you’re seeing cracks, uneven sections, or puddles that stick around after it rains, call somebody. Call us, call another contractor, just don’t wait another six months. Water gets into those cracks, and then you’re dealing with base failure. That’s when things get expensive.
Here’s what I tell everyone: don’t just go with whoever gives you the lowest number. I’ve lost count of how many times someone hired the cheap guy, watched their new asphalt fall apart in a year, and then called us to redo it properly. Ask questions when you’re getting quotes. What kind of base material are they using? How thick is the asphalt going to be? Are they compacting the base or just smoothing it out? If the contractor acts annoyed that you’re asking, find someone else.
We Work All Over Chula Vista
I’ve done jobs in pretty much every corner of this city. The hills up in Eastlake where water runs fast and you need really good drainage planning. The flatter areas near Castle Park where the soil composition is totally different. The newer commercial areas along Olympic Parkway where businesses need parking lots that can handle truck traffic. Each spot has different challenges, and you learn that stuff by actually working here for decades.
Being local also means we’re close by. You call us from Bonita or Rancho del Rey, and we can usually swing by in a day or two to look at what you’ve got going on. We’re not making you wait around for some regional manager to approve a site visit.

You’re not going to get transferred to some call center. You’re talking to people who actually know how asphalt works. Got questions about whether you need concrete or asphalt? Whether a patch job will hold or you need to start over? We’ll tell you what we actually think, even if it means less money for us. I’ve talked plenty of people out of full replacements when a good repair would do the job.
One last thing – when you’re comparing contractors, watch how they explain things. If someone can’t walk you through what they’re going to do and why they’re doing it that way, be careful. We’ve stayed busy for thirty years because we’re upfront about everything from the start.
Small problems turn into big bills if you wait. Give us a call and we’ll help you figure out what makes sense for your situation.
