When it comes to asphalt paving, cost is always a major consideration. But focusing only on the upfront price can lead to higher expenses in the long run. At Tibbs Paving, we believe in full cost transparency and helping our clients understand the real return on investment (ROI) behind every project.
Whether you're a commercial property manager, HOA board member, or homeowner, knowing what you’re paying for—and how it adds value—helps you make smarter, more confident decisions.

💵 What Impacts Asphalt Paving Costs?
The total price of your paving project can vary depending on several key factors:
1. Project Size & Scope
Larger surfaces may have higher total costs but a lower cost per square foot.
Smaller jobs require less material but often the same setup and labor.
2. Surface Preparation
Base condition, grading, and drainage significantly impact price.
Poor sub-base may require excavation and replacement, adding to the budget.
3. Material Type & Thickness
The type of asphalt mix and thickness of the pavement layer affect cost and lifespan.
Thicker layers often have a higher upfront cost but better long-term durability.
4. Additional Services
Crack filling, sealcoating, line striping, and drainage solutions will impact pricing—but enhance longevity and safety.
📈 Understanding ROI: It’s More Than Just a Price Tag
The true value of a paving project comes from how long it lasts, how well it performs, and how much maintenance it saves over time.
✔️ Long-Term Durability
A well-installed asphalt surface from Tibbs Paving can last 15–25 years with regular maintenance.

Preventative services like sealcoating and crack filling reduce the need for costly repairs later.
✔️ Increased Property Value
