WHO WE WORK WITH
Post-Construction Pavement Services for General Contractors in the Truckee-Tahoe Area
Sealcoating, crack sealing, and striping sub work for GCs at Tahoe: closeout striping, ADA layout, and first-seal scheduling for new asphalt.
The Last Trade on Site
Pavement finish work comes at the end of a project, when the schedule is tight and the punch list is long. GCs need a sub who shows up on the promised day, does the work right the first time, and carries proper licensing for the closeout file. We have been that sub in the Truckee and North Lake Tahoe corridor since 1965, holding California license 510637 and Nevada license 29573, classification A-8.
Our scope is sealcoating, hot rubberized crack sealing, and striping. We do not pave, so there is no overlap or conflict with your paving sub. We come in after the asphalt is down and handle the protection and marking.
Striping and ADA Layout at Closeout
Lot striping is usually the visible finish line of a commercial project, and it is also where accessibility compliance gets painted onto the ground. Stall counts, van-accessible spaces, access aisles, and slope-dependent placement all have to match the approved plans and current ADA and California requirements. We lay out from your plans and flag conflicts we see in the field before paint goes down, not after.
Mountain projects add their own wrinkles. Striping needs warm, dry pavement, and the season for that runs June through September up here. If your schedule has striping landing in October, talk to us early. Sometimes the sequence can be adjusted. Sometimes the honest answer is a spring completion, and it is better to know that in advance than to fail an inspection.
First Sealcoat Timing on New Asphalt
New asphalt should not be sealed immediately. Fresh pavement needs to cure before its first sealcoat, commonly six months to a year depending on conditions. On a mountain project, that often means the first seal falls in the summer after substantial completion. We can schedule that return trip at closeout so the owner's first-year maintenance is already arranged, which reflects well on your handoff.
For phased or multi-year projects, we also protect existing pavement that construction traffic has been working over: crack sealing haul-route damage and resealing surfaces before turnover. Call (530) 587-4161 with your plans and schedule, and we will give you a straight answer on scope, sequencing, and what the mountain calendar allows.
Paperwork That Clears Your Closeout File
A sub is only useful to a general contractor if the paperwork holds up. We carry active licensing in both states, California license 510637 and Nevada license 29573, classification A-8, and we provide a certificate of insurance naming your project when you need one for the file. That means the pavement line on your closeout checklist gets signed off without a scramble at the end of the job.
Reachability matters as much as the certificate. Mountain projects get inspected, walked, and sometimes revisited a season later when the first sealcoat comes due. We answer the same phone number we have answered since 1965, and a message gets a reply within one business day. When an owner or an inspector has a question about the striping layout or the pavement work months after turnover, you are not chasing a crew that left the state.
Quick answers
Can you work from our civil plans for striping?
Yes. Send the plan set and we lay out from it, verify accessible stall placement against field conditions, and raise any conflicts with you before painting.
How soon after paving can the lot be sealcoated?
Not right away. New asphalt needs cure time, commonly six months to a year. We typically schedule the first seal for the following summer season and can set that up at project closeout.
