Portland Team
Smooth Rollin’ Sealcoating and Paving works throughout Sandy and the wider Mount Hood corridor from our shop in Gresham, straight down Highway 26 to the west. That puts a crew and a paver close enough to quote a job properly, walk the site before we price it, and get back out if something needs attention after we leave. We work both sides of Pioneer and Proctor, out toward Boring, up Highway 211, and east into the Villages of Mount Hood.
Sandy is harder on asphalt than Portland is, and the numbers say so. The city sits at 967 feet, takes 61.4 inches of rain in an average year, and runs a January mean daily low of 34 degrees. That last figure is the one that matters. Water gets into a crack, the temperature crosses freezing overnight, the water expands, and the crack widens. Do that a few dozen times a winter and a hairline becomes a pothole. Pavement that was fine on a Gresham driveway can fail years earlier on the same job in Sandy if the base was thin or the grading pushed water the wrong way.

Warranty on All Work
We deliver exceptional results backed by transparent pricing and a commitment to quality.
Sandy's rainfall and freeze-thaw cycle are the two things that end asphalt early here. We spec base depth, compaction and grading around them, and we would rather tell you the base needs work than lay a surface over a problem.
Small patch on an awkward slope, a driveway with a bad turn at the top, a long rural run nobody wants to price. We take the work larger paving outfits pass on, and we price it the same way we price a big one.
Your job is run by one team start to finish. No subcontractor handoffs, no gap where the grading crew leaves and the paving crew shows up a week later. Everything we install carries a 1-year warranty on our workmanship.
You get a written proposal with the scope and the price on it. No allowances that balloon, no line items that appear after the work starts.
Every job in Sandy gets the same crew, the same materials and the same walk-through, whether it is a single driveway or a full commercial lot.
We offer a full range of asphalt paving and maintenance services to keep your property safe and looking its best.
New asphalt driveways and parking areas across Sandy. A driveway starts well below the surface: excavation, a graded and compacted aggregate base, drainage that moves water off rather than holding it, then asphalt laid and rolled at temperature. On Sandy properties the base and the grading do most of the work. Get those right and the driveway lasts; get them wrong and no amount of surface quality saves it. We handle new construction, full replacements where a driveway has failed, and commercial paving for parking areas and private access.
On existing asphalt, sealcoating and crack sealing are what keep water out of the base, and in the Mount Hood corridor that is most of the battle. Sealcoat blocks UV, rain and vehicle fluids, and brings the color back. Crack sealing is the higher-value of the two: sealing a crack while it is a quarter inch wide costs a fraction of repairing the pothole it turns into. We will tell you honestly when a Sandy surface is still worth maintaining and when it has gone past that point.
Parking lot layout and restriping for Sandy businesses, including ADA stalls and access aisles to current requirements, fire lanes, crosswalks, numbered stalls and custom stencils. A lot striped to the wrong dimensions is non-compliant no matter how clean the paint looks, so we lay it out properly rather than tracing over whatever was there before. We also install speed bumps, wheel stops, signs and posts.
Potholes, spreading cracks and edges that have started to break up all get worse quickly once water is in the base. We handle crack sealing, patching, saw-cut and full-depth repairs, grinding, and base repair on Sandy driveways and lots. Timely repair is the cheapest work in this trade, and we would rather do a repair now than a replacement in three years.
We make your asphalt project as simple and transparent as possible.
We discuss what you need and visit your Sandy property to assess the existing surface, check the base and take measurements.
You receive a detailed, easy-to-understand proposal with straightforward pricing and no hidden fees.
Our team arrives fully equipped to prepare the site, including cleaning, grading, and ensuring proper drainage.
Our crew lays and compacts the asphalt at temperature, using the right equipment for the size of the job.
We conduct thorough cleanup and perform a final walk-through to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Answers to common questions about paving and asphalt work in Sandy.
Four things, in roughly this order: square footage, how much excavation and base work the site needs, drainage, and access. A flat driveway on good ground with a truck able to back straight in is the cheapest version. A long rural run on soft ground with a slope and a drainage problem is the expensive one, because most of that cost is under the asphalt rather than in it. We price after walking the site, not over the phone.
Rainfall and freeze-thaw. Sandy takes 61.4 inches of rain in an average year and runs a January mean daily low of 34 degrees, which means the temperature crosses freezing regularly through winter. Water gets into a crack, freezes overnight, expands, and widens it. Repeat that a few dozen times a season and a hairline becomes a pothole. Sealing cracks as they appear is the single most cost-effective thing you can do here.
Paving installs a new asphalt surface. It is the right answer for new construction, or for a driveway or lot whose base has failed and cannot be saved from the top. Sealcoating is preventative maintenance: a protective layer applied over existing asphalt that shields it from UV, rain and vehicle fluids. Paving builds or rebuilds the surface, sealcoating protects one that is still sound. Neither substitutes for the other.
Every two to three years for most Sandy properties, and crack sealing whenever a crack appears rather than on a schedule. Our regional rainfall is the reason the interval is shorter here than in drier parts of the country. Water getting into the base is what ends asphalt, and sealcoat plus crack sealing is what keeps it out. New asphalt is the exception and needs to cure before its first coat.
Normally within about 24 to 72 hours depending on temperature and how thick the section is, and we give you a specific answer for your job before we leave. Full curing takes considerably longer. For the first several weeks avoid parking in the same spot for long periods, turning the wheels of a stationary vehicle, and putting down jack stands or trailer jacks without a board under them.
