Franklin Commercial Paving Company

We Know Franklin's Paving Challenges

We’ve been handling commercial asphalt projects throughout Franklin and central New Jersey for years. We understand how freeze-thaw cycles destroy poorly installed pavement. We know which materials hold up to heavy delivery trucks and constant traffic.

Most importantly, we know how to work around your business schedule. Early morning starts, weekend work, phased construction that keeps your doors open. We’ve paved everything from small office parking areas to large retail centers without shutting down operations.

Commercial Paving Process Franklin

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we assess your current pavement condition and drainage issues. Many commercial paving problems start with poor base preparation or inadequate drainage. We identify these issues upfront, not after we’ve already started digging.

Next, we create a work plan that minimizes disruption to your business. This might mean working in sections, scheduling around your busy periods, or coordinating with your property manager. We handle permits and municipal requirements so you don’t have to.

During construction, we focus on quality base preparation and proper compaction. Shortcuts here cause problems later. We use commercial-grade asphalt designed for heavy traffic and Franklin’s climate conditions. Final striping and marking complete the project according to ADA requirements and your specific needs.

Parking Lot Paving Franklin

Complete Commercial Paving Services

Our commercial paving covers new parking lot installation, complete resurfacing, and major repairs. We handle base preparation, proper grading for drainage, asphalt installation, and professional striping. ADA-compliant accessibility features and handicap spaces are included in every project.

For existing lots, we offer overlay services that extend pavement life without complete replacement. This works well for surfaces with minor cracking but solid base structure. We also provide parking lot resurfacing when the base is sound but the surface needs renewal.

Franklin’s commercial properties face unique challenges from heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles. We account for these conditions in our material selection and installation methods. Proper edge work and drainage prevent the premature failure that plagues many commercial lots in this area.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take?

Most commercial parking lots take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. A typical retail center parking area might take 3 days: one day for base preparation, one day for asphalt installation, and one day for striping and final details. Larger projects or those requiring extensive base work take longer. We always provide realistic timelines upfront and coordinate with your business schedule. Weather can affect timing, especially during Franklin’s winter months, so we build flexibility into our scheduling.

Should I repair or replace my existing commercial parking lot?

It depends on the base condition and extent of surface damage. If you have isolated cracks and the pavement feels solid underfoot, resurfacing or overlay might work. But if you see widespread cracking, settling, or soft spots that feel spongy when walked on, the base has likely failed and needs replacement. We can assess this during a site visit. Generally, if more than 40% of your lot shows significant damage, replacement becomes more cost-effective than patching. Franklin’s freeze-thaw cycles accelerate base failure, so don’t wait too long once problems start appearing.

Can you pave during winter months in Franklin?

Asphalt paving requires temperatures above 50 degrees for proper installation and compaction. During Franklin’s winter months, we focus on emergency repairs and planning for spring projects. However, we can often work during warm spells in late fall or early spring when temperatures cooperate. The best paving season runs from April through October. We recommend scheduling commercial projects during shoulder seasons when possible to avoid summer heat and ensure optimal working conditions for both our crew and your business operations.

How do you minimize disruption to our business during paving?

We plan every commercial project around your operational needs. This might mean working in phases to keep part of your parking available, scheduling work during your slow periods, or coordinating with delivery schedules. For restaurants, we often work around lunch and dinner rushes. Retail centers might prefer weekend or early morning work. We can also create temporary access routes and coordinate with your staff to communicate changes to customers. The key is planning these details before we start, not figuring them out as we go.

What's included in commercial paving beyond just the asphalt?

Complete commercial paving includes proper base preparation, drainage considerations, asphalt installation, and professional striping. We handle grading to ensure water flows away from buildings and doesn’t pool in parking areas. ADA-compliant handicap spaces, crosswalks, and accessibility features are standard. We also coordinate utility adjustments if needed and handle municipal permits. Edge work around buildings, landscaping, and existing concrete is included. Final cleanup and site restoration complete the project. Some clients also add sealcoating for extended pavement life, which we can discuss during planning.

How long will new commercial asphalt last in Franklin?

Properly installed commercial asphalt typically lasts 15-20 years in Franklin’s climate with appropriate maintenance. Heavy traffic areas might need attention sooner, while lighter-use sections often exceed 20 years. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate thickness for your traffic load, and regular maintenance like crack sealing and periodic sealcoating. Franklin’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement, so addressing small cracks quickly prevents water infiltration and base damage. We provide maintenance recommendations specific to your property and traffic patterns to maximize pavement life.
