"They gave me a written quote on a Tuesday and the driveway was done by Friday. The edges are clean and it drains perfectly - no more puddle by the garage after every rain. I have been putting this off for years and I wish I had called sooner."
Mark D., Chico - Driveway Paving
"The parking lot at my rental property was an embarrassment. Faded lines, cracks running everywhere. They repaved the damaged section, sealed the rest, and restriped the whole lot in two days. Tenants noticed immediately and said something. Worth every dollar."
Sandra R., Oroville - Parking Lot Maintenance
"I called three companies. Two sent me a ballpark number without seeing the property. Precision Chico Asphalt came out, walked the whole driveway with me, and explained exactly what needed to happen before sealing. That honesty is why I hired them."

Asphalt contains oils that keep it flexible. Chico's long summers - with temperatures regularly above 100 degrees F - bake those oils out faster than in cooler climates. Once the surface oxidizes and turns gray, small cracks form quickly. Sealcoating on a regular schedule is the most effective way to slow this process.
The clay-heavy soils around Chico expand when wet and shrink when dry. That seasonal movement stresses the pavement from below, causing cracks and surface shifts even on well-built driveways. Proper base depth and compaction during installation are the main defenses.
Sealcoating protects a surface in good condition - it does not repair structural damage. Resurfacing adds a new asphalt layer over a sound base. If your surface has widespread cracking or soft spots, sealing over it just hides the problem. The right choice depends on base condition, which a contractor can assess in person.
In California, property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. A pothole deep enough to damage a vehicle or cause a fall can expose you to a liability claim. Repairing potholes promptly - before the edges widen further - is both the practical and the legally sound choice.
A written estimate from a reputable California contractor should specify the scope of work, materials used, base preparation details, asphalt thickness, and cleanup. Vague estimates that only list a total price give you no basis for comparison and no recourse if the work falls short. The National Asphalt Pavement Association publishes industry standards contractors should follow.
Spring and early fall are the best windows in the Chico area. Asphalt needs warm but not extreme temperatures to lay and cure correctly. Summer paving is possible - crews start early to avoid peak heat - but spring and fall give the most consistent conditions and the longest curing window before winter rains arrive.
Precision Chico Asphalt Paving is a licensed and insured asphalt paving contractor company based in Chico, CA, serving 12 cities across the northern Sacramento Valley since 2015. California requires paving contractors to hold a valid state contractor license issued by the Contractors State License Board - ours is current and publicly verifiable at cslb.ca.gov.
Over the years we have completed hundreds of residential and commercial paving projects across Butte, Glenn, Tehama, and Sutter counties - from single driveways to full parking lot installations. Every job comes with a written scope, proper base preparation, and workmanship that we stand behind.
Learn more about usHairline shrinkage cracks can appear in new asphalt as it cures - this is normal and typically minor. Cracks that are widening, deep, or concentrated in one area usually point to base preparation issues. Contact your contractor right away; a legitimate contractor with a workmanship warranty will come back out.
Surface wear shows as fading, minor cracking, and a rough texture - these are the signs sealcoating is due. Base failure looks different: soft or springy pavement underfoot, cracks that widen after rain, or areas that sink. If you notice any of these, get a contractor to look before the damage grows.
If patches cover less than roughly a third of the surface and the base is sound, targeted repair is usually the right move. When cracking is widespread, areas are sunken or soft, or you are patching the same spots repeatedly, a full replacement or overlay becomes the more cost-effective path over time.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also provides guidance on stormwater runoff and impervious surfaces - relevant if your paving project changes how water drains from your property. Call us at (530) 399-1812 if you have questions about drainage before your project starts.
Chico is the largest city in Butte County, located on the floor of the northern Sacramento Valley about 90 miles north of Sacramento. The city covers roughly 33 square miles and is home to a mix of older neighborhoods near Bidwell Park and California State University, Chico and newer subdivisions spreading toward the north and east. Residential lots across most of the city sit on flat valley floor terrain with clay-heavy soils that expand in winter and contract in summer - a cycle that is hard on driveways, concrete flatwork, and parking surfaces over time.
Chico summers are long and punishing - months of temperatures above 100 degrees F and intense UV exposure are the main reason asphalt here ages faster than in cooler parts of California. The winter rainy season brings concentrated rainfall to clay soils that drain slowly, which means water intrusion into cracked pavement is a real and recurring problem. Whether you own a craftsman home near downtown, a rental property near the university, or a commercial building along the Highway 99 corridor, the local climate creates steady demand for pavement maintenance. Precision Chico Asphalt Paving has worked across all of these neighborhoods and understands exactly what the conditions here do to pavement - and how to build for them.
