About Us

Thompson Asphalt Paving is a locally owned asphalt contractor serving Grand Island, NE, and nearby communities. Founded with a commitment to quality, safety, and transparent service, our company focuses on both residential and commercial paving projects, from single-driveway repairs to large-scale parking lot installations and roadway overlays.

Why our work matters

Pavement that’s properly installed and maintained protects underlying subgrades, improves drainage, prevents costly failures, and creates a safer, more attractive property. Poorly graded or cracked asphalt allows water infiltration that accelerates deterioration; timely services like crack filling, sealcoating, and targeted patching extend the life of your pavement and save money over the long run.

Asphalt Contractor Services

Asphalt paving is a critical investment for property function and value. Thompson Asphalt Paving provides a comprehensive suite of asphalt services: new installation, resurfacing, sealcoating, crack filling, patching, milling, grading, excavation, overlays, striping, drainage correction, and regular maintenance. We serve residential driveways, commercial parking lots, municipal roadways, sidewalks, and curb systems. Our expertise ensures each pavement receives the right mix design, compaction, and finishing to withstand traffic loads and Nebraska’s seasonal temperature shifts.

Why asphalt contracting matters

A properly executed asphalt job improves safety, reduces liability, and lowers long-term repair costs. Poorly executed work allows water intrusion and base failure, leading to potholes and structural issues. Routine maintenance like sealcoating and crack filling delays the need for expensive resurfacing. When repair is necessary, professional patching and overlay techniques restore surface integrity without compromising subgrade performance.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • Q: How often should I sealcoat my driveway or parking lot?

    A: For residential driveways, we recommend sealcoating every 2–4 years depending on traffic and exposure. Commercial lots with heavier use may need maintenance more frequently. Regular inspections help determine the best interval.

  • Q: What causes cracks and potholes, and can they be prevented?

    A: Cracks often start from water infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles, or base failure due to inadequate compaction. Potholes form when subgrade weakness allows asphalt to break under load. Preventative measures include timely crack filling, sealcoating, proper drainage, and ensuring proper base preparation during installation.

  • Q: When is resurfacing enough vs. when is full replacement required?

    A: Resurfacing (overlay) is appropriate when the underlying base is intact and deterioration is limited to the surface. Full-depth replacement is necessary when the base is compromised, drainage is poor, or there are extensive structural failures.

  • Q: Do you provide estimates and do you charge for on-site inspections?

    A: Thompson Asphalt Paving provides free on-site evaluations and estimates for most projects. We assess the scope, drainage needs, and base condition before recommending the most cost-effective repair or installation.

  • Q: Can you work around business hours to minimize disruption?

    A: Yes. For commercial clients, we offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend work, to maintain business operations and reduce customer impact.

  • Q: What materials do you use for commercial and residential projects?

    A: We use industry-standard asphalt mixes appropriate to the project’s load and traffic demands. For some applications we may recommend tar & chip or cold-mix patching for temporary repairs, but final recommendations are based on long-term performance goals.

  • Q: Are you insured and bonded?

    A: Thompson Asphalt Paving carries appropriate liability insurance for construction operations and follows best practices for site safety and traffic control.
