South Moor Apartments

Location & Context

South Moor Apartments in South Charleston, WV—an active multi-building community with significant vehicle traffic. The existing pavement had widespread cracking and settlement, creating safety hazards and detracting from the property’s curb apeal. Management needed a durable, efficient solution that minimized tenant disruption.

‍

The Challenge

Widespread Damage: Multiple roadway sections exhibited cracks, ruts, and uneven surfaces that trapped water and accelerated deterioration.

Tenant Access: Limited parking and drive lanes meant shutting down large areas risked inconveniencing residents and blocking emergency routes.

Budget & Longevity: The property manager sought a cost-effective fix to extend pavement life several years without full reconstruction.

‍

Our Solution

Phased Milling & Removal: Over two evenings, we milled and removed a total of 20,000 sq ft of deteriorated roadway—staggered by section so at least one drive lane remained open.

Hot-Mix Asphalt Overlay: Applied a 2″ wearing course strictly to the milled roadway areas, restoring a smooth, uniform driving surface.

Spray Seal Coating: Treated both the refreshed roadways and adjacent parking bays with a premium, spray-applied sealant to guard against water intrusion and UV damage.

Line Striping & Curb Painting: Repainted all parking stalls, directional arrows, fire lanes, and curb edges in compliance with ADA guidelines and community-branding standards.

‍

The Result

Enhanced Safety: Eliminated trip hazards and potholes, ensuring clear, even drive lanes for residents and visitors.

Extended Pavement Life: Overlay plus seal coating is projected to add 5–7 years of service before major maintenance is needed.

Improved Curb Appeal: Fresh asphalt and crisp white striping transformed the property’s appearance, boosting resident satisfaction and marketability.

Minimal Disruption: By working off-peak hours and phasing sections, we kept access open throughout the project—residents experienced virtually no inconvenience.
