Asphalt Contractor in Centennial, CO
Asphalt Denver handles asphalt paving, repair, sealcoating and striping in Centennial. The city had more than 100,000 residents before it had a city hall, so most of its driveways and lots were built as county subdivisions and are now due for real repair rather than a fresh coat.

Centennial is unusual among Denver suburbs. It incorporated on 7 February 2001, when residents of unincorporated Arapahoe County voted by 77 percent to form a city, and it was the largest incorporation in United States history at the time. Everything you see here, the subdivisions, the arterials, the shopping centers, was built before the city existed.
That history shows up in the pavement. Driveways and private lots across Centennial went in under county standards over several decades, and a lot of them have now had one overlay and are working on their second. We spend more time here on full-depth patching, milling and overlay than on brand new construction, and a fair amount on maintenance that keeps sound pavement out of the rebuild category.
Asphalt work in Centennial
Arapahoe County is the county. Interstate 25 splits the city roughly in half, with most of the retail and office space west of the highway. Arapahoe Road is the main east-west arterial and carries a long run of commercial frontage; Dry Creek Road and County Line Road tie the eastern side into the I-25 business district. The Streets at SouthGlenn, at Arapahoe Road and South University Boulevard, replaced the 1974 Southglenn Mall and reopened in 2009 as a mixed retail, office and residential block, which puts structured and surface parking of very different ages on the same site.
The land is not flat. Centennial has enough hills, gullies and ravines that drainage varies street to street, and the High Line Canal Trail and Dry Creek run through it. Drainage is the thing that decides how a lot fails. Water that ponds at a low corner works into the joints, freezes overnight and lifts the surface, and by the third or fourth winter that corner is the one with alligator cracking while the rest of the lot looks fine.
The City of Centennial maintains around 500 miles of paved public streets and issues its own right-of-way permits through an online portal for any construction in or occupation of city right of way. Private driveways and private parking lots are a different matter, and many south-metro subdivisions here sit under HOAs or metro districts that own their own drive aisles and parking bays. If your streets are private, the association is the one that has to approve and pay for the work, and we can quote it either way.

Asphalt in Centennial: common questions
Our HOA owns the streets in our subdivision. Can you work on those?
Yes. Plenty of Centennial subdivisions have private drive aisles, parking bays and cul-de-sacs owned by an HOA or a metro district rather than the city. We quote those like a commercial lot, with a written scope a board can put in front of members, and we can phase the work across seasons.
Who issues permits for asphalt work in Centennial?
The City of Centennial does. A right-of-way permit is required for construction in or occupation of city right of way, and the city runs applications through an online portal. Work entirely inside private property, including a driveway that stops at the property line, usually falls outside that. We confirm before we start.
Why does one corner of our lot fail while the rest is fine?
Almost always drainage. Centennial has real grade changes, so runoff collects at a low point, soaks into the joints, and freezes and thaws through the winter. That single spot loses its base while the rest of the surface is still sound. Fixing it properly means patching full depth and correcting the fall, not skimming over the top.
