Who you are hiring
Stokes Paving is Johnny Stokes and his crew, working out of Porter. When you call, you get the man who runs the roller — not a salesman who hands your job to whoever is cheapest that week. We quote it, we pave it, and our name stays on it.
What we do
New pavement, tired pavement and everything in between — for homeowners, businesses, churches and property managers across the northeast side of Houston.
Residential drives, circle drives and long country lanes — built on a base that holds.
What that meansCommercial lots paved, sealed and striped — scheduled so you keep your doors open.
What that meansSound base, ugly surface? A new layer of hot mix costs less than tearing it out.
What that meansPotholes, alligator cracking, crumbling edges and low spots that hold water.
What that meansA sealed surface sheds water, fuel and Texas sun instead of drinking it in.
What that meansStalls, arrows, fire lanes and accessible spaces — laid out straight and legible.
What that meansHow it goes
Call or text and tell us what you have got — a driveway, a lot, a section that keeps failing. If Johnny is on a machine, you get a call back the same day.
We come out and look at the ground in person. Base condition, drainage, access for the trucks and how you actually use the surface all change the job.
A written price with the thickness, the square footage and what is included spelled out. No pressure, no vanishing act, and no surprise line items at the end.
Grade, base, hot mix, roll it while it is hot. Most residential driveways are done in a day and ready for your vehicles the next.

Why Stokes
Johnny Stokes runs the crew and the equipment. The man who quotes your job is the man standing on it when the mix goes down.
Asphalt is only as good as what is under it. We would rather spend the extra hour on grade and base than come back to a driveway that cracked in a year.
Free estimates, written prices and a plain-English explanation of what your money is buying. If an overlay will do, we will not sell you a tear-out.
We live and work northeast of Houston. Our name goes on every drive and lot we leave behind, and we drive past most of them every week.

Questions
The things people ask us before they ever sign anything.
There is no honest answer to that over the phone. Price comes down to square footage, how thick the asphalt needs to be, what shape the base is in, and how easy it is to get trucks and equipment to the spot. We come out, measure it, and give you a written price for free.
Normal vehicle traffic is usually fine after 24 to 48 hours once the surface has cooled and set. Asphalt keeps curing for several weeks after that, so for the first month go easy on sharp turns with the wheel stopped, jack stands, trailer jacks and kickstands, which can leave marks in a hot new surface.
Sometimes. If the base underneath is still solid and the surface is just tired, an overlay gives you a new driveway for a lot less than a tear-out. If the base has failed — you will usually see alligator cracking, potholes or spots that stay wet — paving over it just buys you a year. We will tell you which one you have.
We do both. Patching potholes, cutting out failed sections, fixing crumbling edges and repairing utility cuts are regular work for us. Small repairs done early are a lot cheaper than the replacement they turn into.
Most residential driveways are a one-day job. Parking lots depend on the size and whether the work needs to be phased to keep the business open — that gets covered in your quote so you know what to expect before we roll in.
Down here we can pave most of the year. Asphalt goes down best on warm, dry ground, so the thing that actually moves schedules is rain, not the calendar. If weather pushes your job, we will call you rather than leave you guessing.
Tell us what you have got. We will come look at it, measure it and hand you a straight price — free.
