Commercial Paving Process

How We Handle Your Paving Project

Every commercial paving project starts with an on-site assessment of your current pavement, drainage, and traffic patterns. We evaluate what needs full replacement versus resurfacing, and identify any drainage issues that could cause problems later.

Next comes scheduling that works around your business hours. Most commercial paving happens in sections to keep parts of your parking lot accessible, or during off-hours when it won’t disrupt operations.

The actual paving process includes proper base preparation, quality asphalt installation, and final grading for proper drainage. Each step gets completed before moving to the next, ensuring the finished parking lot can handle your specific traffic loads and weather conditions without premature cracking or settling.

Parking Lot Paving Services

Complete Commercial Asphalt Solutions

Commercial paving services include new parking lot installation, complete resurfacing, and targeted repairs for high-traffic areas. We handle everything from small business parking areas to large commercial complexes with multiple access points and loading zones.

Carteret’s industrial environment means many properties need heavy-duty asphalt that can handle delivery trucks, forklifts, and constant traffic. Platinum Paving uses commercial-grade materials and proper installation techniques designed for these demanding conditions.

Services also include drainage improvements, ADA-compliant accessibility features, and line striping coordination. The goal is delivering a complete parking lot solution that meets local codes, handles your traffic, and provides years of reliable service without constant maintenance issues.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most commercial paving projects take 2-5 days depending on the size and scope of work. Small business parking lots often get completed in 1-2 days, while larger commercial complexes may need a week or more. The timeline also depends on whether you need full replacement or just resurfacing. Weather conditions can affect scheduling since asphalt needs dry conditions and proper temperatures for installation. During your initial consultation, you’ll get a realistic timeline based on your specific project requirements and any scheduling constraints around your business operations.

Can you pave around our business hours to minimize disruption?

Yes, most commercial paving gets scheduled to work around your business needs. Many projects happen during evenings, weekends, or off-peak hours when customer traffic is minimal. For larger parking lots, the work often gets done in sections so part of your parking area stays accessible throughout the project. The key is planning ahead and communicating your busiest times so the paving schedule can accommodate your operations. Some businesses prefer temporary closure during paving to get everything done faster, while others need phased completion to maintain access.

What's the difference between resurfacing and complete parking lot replacement?

Resurfacing means applying a new layer of asphalt over your existing pavement, which works when the base is still solid but the surface has minor cracking or wear. Complete replacement involves removing the old asphalt and rebuilding from the base up, which is necessary when you have major structural problems, poor drainage, or extensive cracking. Resurfacing costs less and takes less time, but only works if the underlying pavement is in good condition. A site assessment determines which approach makes sense for your specific situation and budget.

How do you handle drainage issues during commercial paving projects?

Proper drainage gets built into every commercial paving project from the start. This includes grading the asphalt surface to direct water toward storm drains or designated runoff areas, and sometimes installing or improving catch basins and drainage systems. Poor drainage causes the most common parking lot problems – water pooling, ice formation, and premature pavement failure from water getting into cracks. During the initial site assessment, any existing drainage problems get identified and addressed as part of the paving work to prevent future issues.

Do you handle ADA compliance requirements for commercial parking lots?

Yes, ADA compliance is a standard part of commercial paving projects. This includes proper slopes for accessibility, designated handicap parking spaces with correct dimensions, and accessible pathways from parking to building entrances. Non-compliance can result in costly fines and legal issues, so getting it right during the paving process is essential. We stay current on ADA requirements and local accessibility codes to ensure your parking lot meets all regulations. This includes coordination with line striping contractors for proper marking of accessible spaces and pathways.

What type of asphalt works best for heavy commercial traffic?

Heavy commercial traffic requires thicker asphalt and a more robust base than standard parking lots. This typically means 3-4 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared stone base, compared to thinner applications for light traffic areas. The asphalt mix also gets specified for heavy loads, with aggregate and binder designed to resist rutting and cracking under truck traffic. Areas like loading docks and delivery zones often need even heavier-duty treatment. The key is matching the pavement design to your actual traffic loads rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
