Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your site and discuss exactly what you need. No generic estimates – we look at drainage, existing conditions, and how you actually use the space. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline.

Once you approve, we handle permits and schedule the work around your needs. We start with proper excavation and base preparation – the foundation that determines how long your pavement will last. Then we install the asphalt using commercial-grade equipment and techniques.

Throughout the project, we keep you informed about progress and any issues we encounter. After completion, we walk through the finished work with you and explain proper maintenance to maximize your investment.

What's Included In Every Job

Every paving project starts with proper site preparation and drainage planning. We don’t just lay asphalt over existing problems – we fix the underlying issues that cause premature failure. That includes proper grading, base material installation, and edge restraints.

For residential projects, we coordinate with homeowners to minimize disruption to daily routines. For commercial work, we can schedule around business hours and break larger projects into phases to keep operations running smoothly.

All work includes cleanup, proper curing time, and detailed maintenance instructions. We also handle permit applications and ensure all work meets local building codes and regulations.

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and site conditions. Commercial parking lots vary based on square footage and complexity. Weather can affect timing – we won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too low. After installation, you’ll need to stay off the new pavement for 24-48 hours while it cures. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if conditions require schedule adjustments.
Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete in New Jersey’s climate. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete lasts longer but costs significantly more and can crack badly when water freezes underneath. For most residential and commercial applications in our area, asphalt provides better value and performance. The key is proper installation with adequate base preparation and drainage – that’s what determines longevity regardless of material choice.
Yes, we handle both residential driveway paving and commercial parking lot projects. Commercial jobs require different planning – we coordinate with business schedules, handle larger equipment needs, and often work in phases to minimize disruption. We also manage striping, handicap compliance, and drainage requirements for commercial properties. Every commercial project includes proper permits and meets local code requirements. We can work nights or weekends when necessary to accommodate business operations.
Driveway paving costs depend on size, site conditions, and current pavement condition. A typical residential driveway ranges from $3-7 per square foot, but that varies significantly based on prep work needed. If we’re removing old pavement, dealing with drainage issues, or working around landscaping, costs increase. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises or hidden fees after we start work.
Yes, Platinum Paving is fully licensed and insured for all paving work in New Jersey. We carry liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. You’ll receive proof of insurance before we start any project. We also pull proper permits when required and ensure all work meets local building codes. This protects both you and us if anything goes wrong. Never hire an unlicensed contractor for paving work – you have no recourse if problems arise and may face liability issues.
New asphalt needs minimal maintenance for the first few years. Avoid parking in the same spots repeatedly for the first month while it fully cures. Clean oil spills promptly – petroleum products can soften asphalt. After 2-3 years, consider sealcoating to protect against water penetration and UV damage. Fill any cracks quickly before water gets underneath and causes bigger problems. With proper maintenance, quality asphalt paving should last 15-20 years before needing replacement. We provide specific maintenance guidelines after completing your project.
