You’ll Always Know What to Expect
Clear quotes. No surprise charges. Upfront communication about scheduling and timelines. We know your time matters, and we treat it that way.
Local Knowledge That Shows Up in the Work
We know Colorado soil and what Centennial’s climate does to pavement over time. That’s the kind of expertise that only comes from decades of working in this market, and it’s the difference between pavement that lasts and pavement that needs to be redone too soon.

Driveway Sealcoating
Centennial’s freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and high-altitude UV take a toll on asphalt. Sealcoating blocks moisture, resists chemical damage, and restores a clean finish. For most driveways, sealing every two to three years is the most cost-effective way to push back a full replacement.
Parking Lot Striping
Fresh striping, re-striping, ADA-compliant markings, and fire lane designations for commercial properties throughout Centennial.
Paving in Centennial: What You Should Know
The Soil Situation
Centennial sits on expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. In Colorado’s climate, that cycle repeats every year and puts real stress on pavement from the ground up. Proper base preparation — removing unstable material, compacting the subgrade, and building an adequate gravel base — is what separates pavement that lasts 25 years from pavement that fails in 10. We assess every job in person before we price it, because what’s underneath matters as much as what goes on top. For more on Colorado’s expansive soil conditions, the Colorado Geological Survey has a detailed overview.
The Neighborhoods
Centennial’s established neighborhoods are home to driveways that are approaching or well past their expected lifespan. In areas like Highlands 460, Homestead Farm, Willow Creek, and Cherry Knolls, where much of the housing stock was built in the 1970s and 1980s, original asphalt driveways are now 40 to 50 years old. We do a significant amount of work in these neighborhoods, along with newer areas like Greenfield, Smoky Ridge, and Willow Trace, where growing families want pavement built to handle Colorado weather and heavy daily use.
Permits
For standard driveway repaving or sealcoating within the same footprint, Centennial does not require a permit. If you’re widening your driveway, adding a parking area, or making changes that affect drainage or surface area, check with the Centennial Building Division before starting work. Commercial projects involving new construction or major reconstruction may require additional review through Arapahoe County Public Works, including drainage, stormwater, and ADA compliance. Riley’s handles the regulatory side for commercial clients and makes sure your project is compliant before we break ground.
