AFJ Custom Paving

FJ Custom Paving is an asphalt contractor based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, working on both commercial and residential properties throughout the state. The company handles new asphalt construction, resurfacing, repair work, ongoing pavement maintenance, striping, dirt work, concrete, and drainage-related site work, giving property owners a single source for surfaces people drive on, walk on, or park on.

Paving work covers private driveways, commercial parking lots, roadways, carports, walking and golf cart paths, and ADA-accessible ramps. Crews perform full-depth removal and re-paving, asphalt overlays, complete resurfacing, and demolition of failed pavement. Site preparation is done in-house, including clearing vegetation, grading, compaction, base course placement, and gravel drives. Repair services address utility cut restoration, alligator cracking, potholes, and sections of pavement that have failed, with emergency pothole repair available when a surface becomes a hazard.

Maintenance is a significant part of the business. The company applies SealMaster sealer products and hot-pour rubberized crack sealant, sweeps lots with a 60-inch power broom, and offers maintenance plans intended to extend the life of existing pavement rather than replace it prematurely. Layout and marking work includes parking stalls, directional arrows, hatch marks, handicapped symbols meeting ADA requirements for certificate of occupancy, curb painting, bollards and light poles, and long-wearing reflective thermoplastic markings. Related parking lot items include concrete wheel stops kept in stock, parking bumpers, asphalt or plastic speed bumps, speed humps, and traffic or informational signs supplied and installed from a large selection.

Additional capabilities extend well beyond paving. The company installs, replaces, and repairs culverts; performs saw cutting of asphalt and concrete; builds asphalt curbing with a curbing machine; raises low manholes in half-inch increments using extender risers and matches surrounding asphalt to the new grade; completes railroad tie work; and removes trees and roots. Erosion and water control projects include rip rap, gabion baskets, check dams, and ditch redefining. Asphalt millings and fill dirt are stocked, and equipment services are offered with a grader, dump truck, backhoe, and skid loader.

Customers include property managers, homeowners associations, condominium associations, apartment communities, homebuilders, hotels, schools, churches, banks, shopping centers, car dealerships, and individual homeowners, along with road and highway projects. Specialties noted by the company include maintenance of existing asphalt surfaces, new construction, repair of commercial, industrial, and privately owned lots and driveways, roadwork, dirt work, concrete, and water control.

Family owned and operated since 1992, the business is now in its third generation, with a fourth in progress, and its team brings a combined 140 years of experience. It operates as an owner-run company: the owner attends appointments and prepares all bids. AFJ Custom Paving is licensed, bonded, and insured, holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, works under written contracts, and provides a one-year guarantee on asphalt work. Utility lines are located through NM One Call before excavation begins.
