Parking Lot Paving Elizabeth

Complete Commercial Paving Services

You get everything needed for a professional parking lot: new asphalt installation, resurfacing existing pavement, proper drainage solutions, and ADA-compliant striping and markings.

Elizabeth’s commercial properties face unique challenges from heavy truck traffic on Port Newark routes and temperature extremes that crack inferior asphalt. We handle everything from small retail parking areas to large warehouse facilities.

Our service includes site preparation, base repair, asphalt installation, line striping, and cleanup. You deal with one contractor instead of coordinating multiple trades, and you get results that enhance your property value while reducing long-term maintenance costs.

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

Most commercial parking lots take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Small retail lots might be done in two days, while larger facilities can take a week. Weather affects timing since we can’t pave in rain or extreme temperatures. We provide realistic timelines upfront and work with your schedule to minimize business disruption. If you need to keep operations running, we can phase the work to leave access routes open.

What's the difference between resurfacing and complete replacement?

Resurfacing adds a new asphalt layer over existing pavement that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. It costs less and takes less time. Complete replacement involves removing old asphalt and rebuilding from the base up. This is necessary when you have major cracks, drainage problems, or base failure. We evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach that actually solves the problem long-term.

How thick should commercial asphalt be for heavy traffic?

Commercial asphalt typically needs 3-4 inches for regular car traffic, but heavy truck traffic requires 4-6 inches or more. The base preparation is equally important – inadequate base causes premature failure regardless of asphalt thickness. We calculate the right specifications based on your traffic load, soil conditions, and expected lifespan. Elizabeth’s freeze-thaw cycles also factor into thickness recommendations since thinner asphalt cracks more easily.

Can you pave around our business operations?

Yes, we regularly work around active businesses by phasing the project and maintaining access routes. We coordinate with your schedule to minimize disruption during peak hours. For example, we might work on back sections first while keeping customer parking open, then switch areas. Emergency vehicle access and employee parking are always maintained. The key is planning the sequence properly so your business keeps running normally.

How long before we can drive on new asphalt?

You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but it takes 30-60 days to fully cure and reach maximum strength. During the first few weeks, avoid sharp turns with heavy vehicles and don’t let trucks sit in one spot for extended periods. Hot weather extends curing time, while cooler temperatures speed it up. We provide specific guidelines based on your traffic needs and the weather conditions during installation.

What causes commercial parking lots to fail prematurely?

Poor drainage is the biggest killer of commercial asphalt – water gets under the pavement and weakens the base. Inadequate base preparation and using asphalt that’s too thin for the traffic load also cause early failure. Skipping proper compaction creates weak spots that develop into potholes. Many contractors cut these corners to bid lower, but you end up paying more in repairs and replacement. Quality installation costs more upfront but lasts decades instead of years.
