Parking Lots That Actually Last

Your parking lot is the first thing customers see. Cracked pavement, potholes, and drainage problems don’t just look unprofessional—they create liability risks and tell customers you don’t maintain your property.

Professional commercial paving changes that. You get smooth surfaces that handle heavy traffic without breaking down in two years. Proper drainage that prevents water damage and extends your pavement’s life. ADA-compliant installations that keep you out of legal trouble.

The result is a parking lot that works for your business instead of against it. No more apologizing to customers about the rough ride to your front door. No more emergency repairs eating into your budget. Just reliable surfaces that let you focus on what you do best.

Commercial Paving Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a site evaluation to assess your current pavement condition, drainage needs, and traffic patterns. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline—no surprises later.

Before any asphalt goes down, we handle proper site preparation. This means excavating to the right depth, installing proper base materials, and ensuring correct drainage slopes. Most paving problems start with shortcuts during prep work.

The paving process itself is scheduled around your business hours when possible. We use quality hot-mix asphalt applied at proper thickness for your traffic load. Final steps include line striping, ADA-compliant markings, and a thorough cleanup.

You’ll know exactly what’s happening each day and when normal operations can resume. The goal is getting you a parking lot that works without disrupting the business that pays for it.

Business Paving Services Chatham

Complete Commercial Asphalt Services

Our commercial paving covers everything from small business driveways to large parking lot installations. New construction, complete reconstruction, and major repairs all get the same attention to proper base preparation and drainage design.

Chatham’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on asphalt. We account for this with appropriate base depths and quality materials that handle temperature changes without cracking. Proper installation means fewer repairs and longer surface life.

Services include parking lot striping, ADA-compliant spaces and ramps, speed bumps, and catch basin adjustments. We coordinate with other trades when needed and work around your business schedule. Every project includes cleanup and a written warranty on materials and workmanship.

The goal is delivering a finished surface that looks professional and handles your traffic load for years, not months.

Most commercial paving projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Small business parking areas might be done in a day, while larger lots require more time for proper preparation and curing. Weather affects the timeline since asphalt can’t be installed in rain or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees. We provide realistic schedules upfront and keep you updated on any changes. The key is not rushing the process—proper base preparation and allowing adequate curing time prevent problems later.
Overlay means adding new asphalt over existing pavement, which works when the base is solid but the surface is worn. Complete reconstruction involves removing old asphalt, fixing base problems, and starting fresh. If your lot has drainage issues, major cracking, or base failure, overlay just covers problems temporarily. We evaluate the existing condition and recommend the approach that makes financial sense long-term. Sometimes spending more upfront for reconstruction saves money over the next 15-20 years.
Commercial asphalt thickness depends on your traffic load and soil conditions. Most business parking lots need 3-4 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared base. Areas with delivery trucks or heavy equipment may require thicker installation. The base layer is equally important—typically 6-8 inches of compacted stone for adequate support. Skimping on thickness to save money usually means premature failure and costly repairs. We design each installation based on your specific traffic patterns and soil conditions for optimal longevity.
Yes, we work with your schedule whenever possible to minimize business disruption. Many commercial projects are done in phases, allowing partial access during construction. We can often complete prep work during business hours and save the actual paving for evenings or weekends when customer traffic is lighter. Emergency vehicle access and employee parking are always maintained. The key is planning the sequence properly and communicating timing clearly so you can inform customers and staff about any temporary changes.
We provide written warranties covering both materials and workmanship defects. Warranty terms vary based on project scope but typically cover structural issues, premature cracking, and installation problems for 2-3 years. Normal wear from traffic and weather isn’t covered, but actual defects in our work are handled promptly at no cost. The warranty is only as good as the company behind it, which is why we’re licensed, insured, and locally established. We’ll be here to honor our commitments long after the project is complete.
Commercial paving costs typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on thickness requirements, site conditions, and project size. Larger lots cost less per square foot due to economies of scale. Additional factors include excavation needs, base material requirements, drainage work, and accessibility. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you can make informed decisions. The cheapest bid often means corners will be cut somewhere—usually in preparation work that determines how long your pavement lasts.
