Cardinal Paving

Cardinal Paving is a family-operated asphalt and concrete contractor headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Led by the father-and-son team of Tommy and Zach Melton, the company reports more than 40 years of paving experience. It serves commercial and residential customers, handling projects ranging from private driveways and walkways to parking lots and other high-traffic paved areas.

The company’s asphalt services include new pavement installation, resurfacing, overlays, pothole repair, localized patching, crack repair, parking-lot striping, and protective recoating. Cardinal Paving evaluates the condition of each surface to determine whether maintenance, targeted repairs, an overlay, or complete replacement is the appropriate solution. For active commercial properties, work may be scheduled during off-peak periods or completed in phases to help maintain access for customers, employees, residents, and delivery vehicles.

Cardinal Paving also installs and repairs concrete surfaces for parking facilities, commercial driveways, sidewalks, walkways, and other paved areas. Its repair capabilities address cracks, chips, holes, settlement-related damage, surface deterioration, and water-related wear. Depending on the severity and structural condition of the existing concrete, the company may use patching, crack filling, resurfacing, overlays, or removal and replacement to restore a safer and more functional surface.

Parking-lot maintenance is another significant part of the company’s work. Its striping services can restore parking spaces, traffic lanes, crosswalks, fire lanes, and other pavement markings that have become faded or difficult to see. Recoating services are intended for asphalt that remains structurally serviceable but needs additional protection against moisture, sunlight, traffic wear, and continued surface aging. Combining repairs, recoating, and new striping allows property owners to improve safety, organization, appearance, and pavement longevity through a coordinated maintenance project.

Although based in Birmingham, Cardinal Paving advertises service coverage across a broader southeastern market. Its listed service areas include multiple communities in Alabama as well as locations in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and the Florida Panhandle. The company works with businesses, property managers, multifamily communities, retailers, restaurants, contractors, and other property owners that require pavement installation, repairs, or ongoing maintenance. Cardinal Paving emphasizes clear communication, detailed project planning, timely completion, and durable workmanship rather than competing solely on the lowest initial price.
