Asphalt Paving Contractor in Winston-Salem NC
A1 Asphalt Winston-Salem builds driveways and parking lots that hold up to Piedmont weather. Forsyth County sees more than a month of freezing nights every winter, and water sitting in a crack or a soft base is what turns a small problem into a pothole by March. Our work starts under the surface — grading, compaction, and drainage — because hot mix is only as good as what's beneath it.
Homeowners across Buena Vista, Ardmore, and West End come to us for new driveway paving, sealcoating, and crack filling. Property managers and business owners across Clemmons, Kernersville, and the Piedmont Triad call us for parking lot paving, resurfacing, striping, and repair. Same crew either way, same hot-mix standards, same warranty.
Every estimate is free and walks you through what we'd actually do — base condition, mix depth, drainage, timeline, and price in writing. No upsells, no padded square footage. Call (336) 276-1256 to get on the schedule this season.

Learn MoreBuilt on Base Work, Not Marketing
A1 Asphalt Winston-Salem is a local paving contractor serving Forsyth County and the broader Piedmont Triad. We don't sub the work out and disappear — the same crew that grades the base lays the mix, runs the roller, and comes back if something needs adjusting. Most of what we do is residential driveways and commercial parking lots, but we also handle private roads, church lots, multi-family properties, and HOA common areas. Every job is built on the principle that asphalt fails from the bottom up, so we spend the time on sub-base, compaction, and drainage that cheaper outfits skip.

Hear From Our Clients
Our driveway off Robinhood Road was alligator-cracked from years of freeze-thaw. The crew milled the worst sections, repaired the base, then laid a clean overlay. Two winters in and it still drains right and looks like the day they finished.
We needed our office park lot off Hanes Mall Boulevard restriped after resurfacing. They handled the ADA layout, fire lanes, and stall counts without us babysitting any of it. Crew showed up early and the lot was open by Monday morning.
Crack filling and a fresh sealcoat on the driveway in Ardmore. They walked us through why hot rubberized fill matters here with the winters we get, and the price was fair. Water finally runs off it instead of sitting in the cracks.
Apartment complex off South Main needed potholes fixed after the last cold snap pushed half of them open. They did full saw-cut repairs on the worst ones and infrared patches on the rest. Residents stopped calling the office the same week.

Common Questions About Asphalt in Winston-Salem
Straight answers to what we get asked most, from first-time homeowners to property managers running multi-site portfolios.
Most residential driveways in Forsyth County run $4 to $7 per square foot for new asphalt over a proper base, depending on access, slope, and how much grading is needed. A typical two-car driveway lands between $4,500 and $8,500. Resurfacing an existing driveway with a sound base is less. Every estimate is measured on site and itemized in writing.
Properly installed asphalt in Winston-Salem lasts 20 to 30 years if it's maintained — sealcoated every 3 to 5 years and crack-filled annually. Skip maintenance and you're looking at 12 to 15 years before the freeze-thaw damage forces a full replacement. The base prep at install is what determines the ceiling.
We typically open driveways to passenger vehicles 24 to 48 hours after the final roll, depending on summer heat. Park trailers, boats, or anything with narrow tires off it for the first 7 days so the surface doesn't get scarred. Full cure takes 30 days, but normal use is fine well before then.
Every 3 to 5 years for residential driveways in Winston-Salem, and every 2 to 3 years for commercial lots that take heavy traffic. Sealcoating too often wastes money and can cause the coating to flake; waiting too long lets UV and water get into the asphalt and start the oxidation process you're trying to prevent.
Paving season here runs roughly April through October, when air and base temperatures stay reliably above 50°F. We can extend that on both ends with the right mix and a hot, dry day, but late November through February is hard on hot mix and we'd rather wait than rush a job that won't compact correctly.
Asphalt typically costs 30 to 50 percent less than concrete to install, and freeze-thaw winters actually favor asphalt because it flexes instead of cracking. Concrete lasts longer if you can keep it from cracking, but the up-front cost and the repair difficulty when it does crack make asphalt the practical choice for most Piedmont driveways.
Yes — we cover Clemmons, Kernersville, Lewisville, Pfafftown, Walkertown, Rural Hall, King, Tobaccoville, and Bermuda Run, plus surrounding parts of Forsyth, Stokes, and Davie counties. Service area for commercial work is broader; ask when you call.
In Winston-Salem, yes — and especially after the first 12 months. Sealcoat blocks UV oxidation in summer and seals water out of the surface before December freeze-thaw cycles can pop it open. A $400 sealcoat every 3 to 4 years can add a decade to the life of an $8,000 driveway. Easy math.
