Oil City Paving

Casper-based Oil City Paving handles asphalt paving and maintenance for property owners throughout Wyoming. The business is family owned, traces its family tradition in the trade to 1963, and describes itself as spanning three generations. From its office on Plaza Drive in Casper, it serves the rest of the state, naming Gillette, Laramie, Rock Springs and Cheyenne among the cities where it works.

Its customers include homeowners, businesses and government agencies. Services cover new asphalt paving, driveway paving, commercial and parking lot paving, asphalt resurfacing, crack sealing, chip sealing and seal coating. Among the jobs it mentions are chip-fill patches and driveway repairs at homes, seal coating on Laramie parking lots, fixes to commercial lots in Casper, and new track surfaces for area schools.

Resurfacing and overlays are offered as a lower-cost alternative to full reconstruction. Any failed sections are cut out and rebuilt first, and a fresh asphalt layer about 1.5 to 2 inches thick is then placed over the existing pavement, which acts as the foundation for the new surface.

The company emphasizes construction standards, stating that it follows specified mix designs and application rates and trains its crews in correct placement techniques. It also favors recycled asphalt mix, which it describes as stronger and more resistant to rutting than mix made entirely from virgin material.

Estimates are free, and the company says it sticks to agreed project specifications and promised timelines on residential and commercial jobs alike.
