Commercial Paving Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out to assess your site and discuss your specific needs. We look at drainage, traffic patterns, and any unique challenges your property presents. Then we provide a detailed estimate that breaks down exactly what you’re getting.

Once you approve the project, we schedule the work around your business operations. For most commercial jobs, we can work in phases to keep part of your parking lot available. We handle all the prep work, including proper grading and base installation.

The actual paving happens quickly once prep is complete. We use commercial-grade asphalt designed for heavy traffic and apply it with professional equipment. After paving, we handle striping and any final details. You get a parking lot that’s ready for business and built to last.

What's Included in Commercial Paving

Every commercial paving project starts with proper site preparation. We grade the area correctly and install the right base materials for your soil conditions and expected traffic load. This foundation work is what separates a parking lot that lasts from one that fails in a few years.

We use commercial-grade asphalt that’s designed specifically for business applications. This isn’t the same material used for residential driveways. It’s formulated to handle heavier loads and more frequent traffic without breaking down.

Your project includes professional striping that meets ADA requirements and local regulations. We can customize the layout to maximize your parking capacity while maintaining safe traffic flow. If you need special markings for loading zones, handicap spaces, or fire lanes, we handle all of that as part of the job.

How long does commercial paving take for a typical parking lot?

Most commercial parking lots take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. A small office lot might be done in two days, while a large retail center could take a week. The actual paving happens quickly – it’s the prep work and curing time that determine the timeline. We can often work in phases to keep part of your lot open during construction. Weather affects timing too, since we can’t pave in rain or when temperatures are too low.

What's the difference between commercial and residential asphalt paving?

Commercial asphalt is formulated to handle heavier loads and more frequent traffic. The base preparation is also more extensive – we typically use thicker base layers and more compaction for commercial jobs. Commercial projects require different equipment too, since we’re dealing with larger areas and tighter timelines. The striping and marking requirements are more complex, with ADA compliance and specific regulations to follow. Residential paving is simpler but commercial work requires more planning and coordination.

How much does commercial parking lot paving cost per square foot?

Commercial paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and project size. Larger lots cost less per square foot due to economies of scale. Factors that affect price include how much excavation is needed, soil conditions, drainage requirements, and accessibility for our equipment. Striping and marking add to the cost but are usually a small percentage of the total. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you work around our business hours to minimize disruption?

Yes, we regularly schedule commercial projects to minimize business disruption. We can work in sections to keep part of your parking lot available, or schedule work during your slowest hours. Many retail clients prefer us to work early mornings or evenings. For restaurants, we often work around lunch and dinner rushes. Office complexes sometimes prefer weekend work. We discuss your specific needs during the planning phase and create a schedule that works for your business operations.

How long before we can drive on new commercial asphalt?

You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but it depends on weather conditions and asphalt thickness. Hot weather requires longer curing time. We usually recommend keeping heavy trucks off for the first week if possible. The asphalt continues to harden for several months, reaching full strength after about a year. We’ll give you specific guidance based on your project and expected traffic. For businesses that can’t close completely, we coordinate the work so you’re never without access.

Do you handle permits and inspections for commercial paving projects?

We handle most permit requirements, though it varies by municipality and project scope. For basic resurfacing, permits usually aren’t needed. Larger projects that involve drainage changes or significant excavation typically require permits. We’re familiar with Clara Barton requirements and can guide you through the process. Some commercial projects require inspections at different phases – we coordinate with inspectors to keep your project on schedule. We’ll let you know upfront what permits are needed and factor any costs into your estimate.
