Pavement Maintenance Inc

Pavement Maintenance Inc, operating as PMI Paving, is a commercial paving and concrete contractor serving the Portland–Vancouver metro area from offices in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington. The company works almost exclusively on commercial, industrial, institutional, and municipal properties, handling everything from new asphalt installation on construction sites to the routine upkeep that keeps existing parking lots safe and serviceable. The current name reflects the joining of two established local operations, Vancouver Paving and Pavement Maintenance Inc., and the firm reports more than 30 years of work in the region and over 2,000 completed commercial and municipal jobs.

Asphalt paving is performed by self-performing crews and covers subgrade preparation, grading and compaction, placement of binder and surface courses, drainage and grade control, and full-depth asphalt restoration when an aging lot has reached the end of its service life. On new construction, the company coordinates paving phases around utilities, curb work, inspections, and construction traffic, and can sequence work so sites stay accessible during the build. Turnkey delivery includes tie-ins with adjacent trades plus final striping, signage, and ADA elements at closeout.

For existing pavement, repair and restoration services include mill and overlay, full-depth pothole repair down to the subgrade, patching, infrared repair, crack routing and sealing, edge and curb repair, and structural rehabilitation. Preventive maintenance work covers sealcoating, crack sealing, and layout and re-striping of stalls, directional arrows, crosswalks, and ADA symbols, along with installation of wheel stops, bollards, parking signage, and truncated dome mats. Recommendations are based on pavement condition assessments, with options such as mill and overlay reserved for lots with a sound base and adequate existing thickness.

Concrete work focuses on exterior flatwork and site infrastructure: sidewalks and walkways, ADA ramps and landings, curbs, gutters and approaches, dumpster pads, and reinforced equipment slabs. Attention to slope, transitions, drainage, and finish is central to this work, both for code compliance and to control surface water in the region's wet climate. Existing concrete can also be evaluated for targeted patching, full-depth repair, or replacement.

Rounding out the service list is mechanical parking lot sweeping using commercial sweeper trucks. Sweeping is offered on recurring schedules for retail centers, office parks, industrial sites, and multi-tenant properties, as well as on demand for storm and seasonal debris, special events, and post-construction cleanup.

Customers include property and facility managers, building owners and REITs, general contractors, and public agencies. The company also cites experience with healthcare campuses, where access for patients and staff must be maintained, and retail properties, where tenant and customer traffic shapes how work is phased. Projects are managed through a defined estimating and delivery process that includes an itemized bid, site maps and visuals illustrating the scope, a dedicated project contact, and phased scheduling designed to limit disruption to tenants and traffic. Representatives typically attend on-site coordination meetings on general contractor projects.

PMI Paving is licensed in both states, holding Oregon CCB #260583 and Washington contractor license PAVEMMI964M2, allowing crews to mobilize on either side of the Columbia River. Operational leadership is notably stable, with foremen averaging roughly 12 years with the company.
