Portland Team
Smooth Rollin’ Sealcoating and Paving serves Tillamook, the county seat sitting at the southeast end of Tillamook Bay where five rivers, the Tillamook, Trask, Wilson, Kilchis and Miami, come together. We work the Highway 101 commercial frontage, the dairy operations spread across the valley floor, and the visitor parking that the creamery generates.
Tillamook is the wettest place we work, and it is not close. The town averages about 88 inches of rain a year against roughly 36 in Portland, and it sits on a river-delta valley floor with a correspondingly high water table. Those two facts together mean that in Tillamook, drainage is not one consideration among several, it is the whole engineering problem. Asphalt does not mind rain landing on it. It fails when water gets into and stays in the base, and here there is more water and less capacity for it to go anywhere. We build Tillamook pavement drainage-first, and on wet sites we will tell you plainly if the ground needs work before it is worth putting asphalt on it.
Nearby we also serve Lincoln City, OR, Seaside, OR, Cannon Beach, OR and Mcminnville, OR. See every city we cover on our service areas page.

88 inches of rain a year on river-delta valley floor with a high water table. In Tillamook the drainage design decides whether the pavement lasts five years or twenty. Everything else is secondary.
Dairy operations run milk tankers and heavy equipment across yards year round, on ground that is already marginal. Those surfaces need a genuinely heavier section than a commercial lot.
One team from excavation through striping. Everything we install in Tillamook carries a 1-year warranty on our workmanship.
Here more than anywhere, base and drainage are the majority of a real quote. We itemize them so you can see why, and so you can compare quotes honestly.
Every Tillamook job gets the same crew and the same walk-through, and we tell you the travel cost openly rather than folding it into the rate.
We offer a full range of asphalt paving and maintenance services to keep your property safe and looking its best.
New driveways, lots and yard surfaces built for coastal ground. On this side of the Coast Range the two things that decide how long asphalt lasts are what sits underneath it and where the water goes, and neither is visible once the job is finished. We excavate to depth, build and compact a base that suits the actual subgrade rather than a standard specification, set the grade so runoff leaves the surface, then lay and compact the asphalt. Coastal sites vary far more than valley sites do, from sand to silt to reclaimed lowland inside a few miles, so we walk every Tillamook site before pricing it.
Sealcoating and crack sealing matter more here than almost anywhere inland, because the rain does not let up. Sealcoat blocks UV, rain and vehicle fluids and restores the surface color. Crack sealing is the higher-value of the two by a wide margin: a quarter-inch crack sealed now costs a fraction of the pothole it becomes after one coastal winter, because every crack on this coast is a direct route for water into your base. We will tell you honestly when a Tillamook surface is still worth maintaining and when it is past that point.
Parking layout and striping for Tillamook motels, restaurants, rentals and visitor parking, including ADA stalls and access aisles to current requirements, fire lanes and crosswalks. Coastal lots take their whole year of wear in a compressed season, so we schedule striping to land before the season rather than during it. A lot striped to the wrong dimensions is non-compliant however clean the paint looks, so we lay it out properly rather than tracing the previous lines.
Coastal weather turns a small crack into a pothole faster than anywhere inland, so repair timing matters here. We handle crack sealing, patching, saw-cut and full-depth repairs, base repair and drainage correction on Tillamook driveways and lots. Where water is the cause, and on this coast it usually is, we fix where the water is going as part of the repair rather than patching the symptom and leaving the mechanism running.
We make your asphalt project as simple and transparent as possible.
We discuss what you need and visit your Tillamook 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 Tillamook.
Rain volume and where the water goes. Tillamook averages about 88 inches a year against roughly 36 in Portland, and the town sits on a river-delta valley floor with five rivers converging and a high water table underneath. Asphalt is not damaged by rain landing on it. It fails when water saturates the base and the base loses the ability to carry load. Here there is far more water arriving and considerably less capacity for it to drain away, so the drainage design does most of the work.
Yes, and it is one of the more demanding jobs on the coast. Milk tankers and farm equipment put heavy concentrated loads on ground that is often already soft and wet, and yard surfaces also take standing traffic rather than passing traffic, which is harder on pavement. We build those yards with a deeper base, grade them so water leaves rather than pools, and spec the asphalt section for the tanker rather than the pickup.
Paving installs a new surface and is the answer for new construction or a base that has failed. Sealcoating is maintenance: a protective layer over asphalt that is still structurally sound, shielding it from UV, rain and vehicle fluids. On the coast the distinction matters more than inland, because sustained winter rain finds any weakness quickly. Sealcoat over a failed base here buys one season, not several.
Every two to three years is the general guidance, and on the coast we lean toward two rather than three. Rainfall here runs well above the valley and it arrives as sustained winter wet rather than short storms, which gives water far more time to find a way into the base. Crack sealing should happen whenever a crack appears rather than on a schedule. New asphalt is the exception and needs to cure before its first coat.
Usually 24 to 72 hours depending on temperature and section thickness, and we give you a specific answer for your job before we leave. Coastal conditions can extend that, since cool damp air slows the surface cooling and curing. Full hardening takes considerably longer. For the first several weeks avoid parking in one spot for long stretches, turning the wheels of a stationary vehicle, and putting jack or trailer stands down without a board underneath.
