Who We Pave For

Asphalt Paving Across
Los Angeles

From warehouse yards in the Harbor area to retail lots and apartment driveways, we handle the full range of Los Angeles paving work.

Commercial & Retail Lots

Shopping centers, offices, restaurants, and medical buildings. Repaving, repair, sealing, and ADA striping, phased or scheduled after hours so the business stays open.

Industrial & Warehouse

Truck courts, yards, and dock aprons in Harbor Gateway, Wilmington, and South LA, with heavy-duty asphalt sections built for loaded trucks.

Apartments, HOAs & Churches

Shared lots and drive aisles for apartment buildings, HOAs, schools, and churches. Phased work to keep access open, then fresh striping and numbering.

Public Works & GCs

DIR-registered and prevailing-wage compliant. We bid public paving work and serve as the paving and grading subcontractor for general contractors.

Residential Driveways

Resurface or fully replace worn driveways. We fix the base and slope so water drains away from the house, then seal to protect it.

Grading & Site Prep

Building pads, rough and fine grading, compaction, and drainage under our C-12 and C-21 licenses, so the pavement on top lasts.

Services in Los Angeles

Full Scope, One Contractor

We don't sub out the work. QGP crews handle grading through final striping, so you have one point of contact from estimate to finished surface.

Surfacing vs. Resurfacing

The Right Fix, Not the Biggest Bill

Asphalt surfacing builds a new surface from the ground up: grading, base, and paving. Resurfacing puts a new layer over pavement that still has a sound base, usually at about half the cost. If the base has failed, an overlay won't last, and we'll tell you so before you spend the money.

Permits in the City of LA

Paving on private property usually doesn't need a City permit unless it involves grading or drainage changes. Work in the public right-of-way, like driveway approaches, curb cuts, and sidewalks, is permitted through the City of LA Bureau of Engineering. Unincorporated areas go through LA County Public Works. We handle the permits for our work.

Striping

Parking Lot & ADA Striping in Los Angeles

Faded lines and missing ADA markings are a liability. We lay out and stripe stalls, ADA accessible spaces with access aisles and signage, fire lanes, arrows, and numbering to current code, usually right after sealcoating so the lot is finished in one visit.

Repave, Seal, Stripe, One Crew

Because we pave and seal too, we can fix the surface before we stripe it. Fresh paint on broken asphalt doesn't last.

FAQ

Los Angeles Paving FAQ

Yes. Quality Grading and Paving, Inc. has been a licensed paving contractor in Los Angeles County since 1993 (CSLB #643034), holding A, B, C-12, C-21, and C-36 classifications. We are headquartered in Carson and work throughout the City of Los Angeles and LA County.
As of October 2026, asphalt overlay (resurfacing) typically runs $3.25–$8 per square foot and full remove-and-replace runs $7–$14 per square foot in Los Angeles. Large commercial lots price toward the low end; driveways and small lots toward the high end. Every job is quoted in writing after a free site visit.
Surfacing usually means building a new asphalt surface: grading, base, and paving. Resurfacing (an overlay) adds a new layer of asphalt over existing pavement that still has a sound base. If the base has failed, with deep potholes, sinking, or alligator cracking across the lot, resurfacing will not last and the area needs full replacement.
Paving on your own property usually does not need a City permit unless it involves grading, drainage changes, or work over certain thresholds. Work in the public right-of-way, such as a new or widened driveway approach, curb cut, or sidewalk, needs a permit from the City of LA Bureau of Engineering. Unincorporated areas go through LA County Public Works. We handle the permit process for our work.
Yes. We stripe parking stalls, ADA accessible spaces with signage and access aisles, fire lanes, arrows, and numbering, laid out to current code. As of October 2026, line striping typically runs $0.30–$0.70 per linear foot, with ADA stalls and stencils priced per item. Striping is usually done right after sealcoating.
Yes. QGP is DIR-registered for prevailing wage public works and holds A, B, C-12, C-21, and C-36 licenses, which cover asphalt paving, grading, curb and gutter, and storm drain work for public agencies. We also work as the paving and grading subcontractor for general contractors on Los Angeles public and private projects.
