About SMI Paving

Who We Are

About Us

SMI Paving has been serving customers in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas since 1970. Over five decades in business, we've built a reputation on reliability, honest pricing, and quality work that lasts. We have the kind of reputation that only comes from doing right by customers year after year.

We're a family-owned and operated company providing commercial asphalt paving, residential asphalt paving, milling services, resurfacing, and asphalt sealcoating, among other services. Our team of skilled, licensed experts is committed to doing great work on every project, whether it's a single-driveway job or a multi-acre commercial lot.

SMI Paving is licensed and insured in both North Carolina and South Carolina, and we operate throughout the Charlotte Metro area. We carry the proper credentials because our customers deserve a contractor who's accountable, not just available. When you hire SMI Paving, you're hiring a team that stands behind its work long after the job is done.

Our Process

Every paving project starts with a conversation. We take the time to understand your property, your goals, and your budget before we recommend a solution. The right approach for a residential driveway isn't the same as what a commercial lot needs.

From there, our team handles site preparation, grading, and drainage planning to make sure your new pavement performs well for years, not just months. We use quality materials and proven techniques suited to the Carolina climate, including its humidity, heat, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, all of which take a toll on asphalt over time. Once the work is complete, we walk you through maintenance recommendations to help you get the most life out of your investment.

What We Do

Our Paving Services

We specialize in a full range of asphalt paving services for residential and commercial properties. From new driveway installations and parking lot paving to repairs and maintenance, our team is equipped to handle projects of all sizes. We offer solutions such as pavement milling, overlaying, crack sealing, and seal coating to extend the life of your asphalt and keep it durable for years to come.

Commercial & Asphalt Paving

Commercial & Asphalt Paving

Business owners across Charlotte trust SMI Paving for parking lots, access roads, and commercial drive lanes. We understand that downtime affects your bottom line, so we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your customers and operations while still delivering a durable, professional finish.

Asphalt Milling

Asphalt Milling & Paving

When pavement is showing its age but the base underneath is still solid, milling and resurfacing offer a cost-effective alternative to full replacement. We remove the damaged top layer and lay fresh asphalt, restoring a smooth, even surface without the expense of starting from scratch.

Sealcoating SMI Paving

Sealcoating

Sealcoating protects your asphalt from UV exposure, water penetration, and everyday wear, extending its lifespan and keeping it looking freshly paved. It's one of the most affordable ways to protect your investment and delay costly repairs down the road.

Asphalt Resurfacing

Asphalt Resurfacing

Resurfacing restores worn or aging pavement without the cost of full replacement. We apply a fresh layer of asphalt over the existing surface, correcting minor imperfections and giving your driveway or lot a smooth, like-new finish that lasts.

Stone Placement and Grading

Proper grading prevents standing water and drainage issues that can quietly erode pavement from beneath the surface. We assess and correct grading issues before they turn into expensive repairs.

Parking Lot Striping

Parking Lot Striping

Clear, visible striping isn't just about appearance. It's about safety and compliance. We provide crisp, long-lasting striping for parking lots, including ADA-compliant layouts where needed.

Residential Driveway Paving

Residential Paving

Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your property. We install new driveways and repair existing ones with an eye for both function and curb appeal, using materials built to withstand daily use and Carolina weather.

Pothole Repair

Small cracks and potholes only get worse with time and traffic. We address these issues early, sealing cracks and filling potholes to prevent water infiltration and structural damage that leads to larger repairs.

Asphalt Crack Sealing & Repair SMI Paving

Asphalt Crack Filling & Sealing

Left untreated, small cracks let water seep in and expand with freeze-thaw cycles, leading to bigger problems. We fill and seal cracks early to stop moisture damage in its tracks, keeping your pavement solid and extending its lifespan.
