Bridgewater Center Paving Contractors

We Know New Jersey Commercial Properties

We’ve handled commercial parking lot projects throughout Bridgewater Center and central New Jersey for years. We understand the local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and the weather patterns that destroy inferior paving work.

We’ve paved parking lots for retail centers, office buildings, medical facilities, and industrial properties. Each project taught us something about what works long-term in this area and what doesn’t.

You’re not getting a crew that learned paving in Florida trying to figure out New Jersey winters. You’re getting contractors who know exactly what your property needs to handle the traffic and weather it faces every day.

Parking Lot Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we evaluate your existing parking lot and drainage situation. Most problems start with poor base preparation or inadequate drainage, so we identify what needs to be fixed before any new asphalt goes down.

Next, we remove the damaged areas and prepare the base properly. This means proper grading, compaction, and addressing any drainage issues that caused the original problems. Skipping this step is why most parking lots fail early.

Then we install the new asphalt or concrete using the right thickness for your traffic load. Commercial properties need different specifications than residential driveways, and we match the materials to your actual usage patterns.

Finally, we handle the striping, ADA compliance markings, and any additional features like speed bumps or wheel stops. You get a complete parking lot that’s ready for business the day we finish.

Asphalt and Concrete Parking Lots

Complete Parking Lot Solutions

You get everything needed for a functional commercial parking lot. New asphalt or concrete installation, complete resurfacing of existing lots, or targeted repairs for specific problem areas. We handle the base preparation, proper drainage, and all the finishing work.

Every project includes ADA-compliant striping and markings. We know the local requirements for handicapped spaces, fire lanes, and traffic flow patterns. You don’t have to worry about compliance issues or failed inspections.

We also provide maintenance recommendations specific to your property. Different businesses create different wear patterns, and we’ll tell you exactly when to sealcoat, when to restripe, and what warning signs mean you need repairs before small problems become expensive ones.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most commercial parking lot projects take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Smaller lots under 10,000 square feet typically finish in 2-3 days, while larger retail or office complexes may need a full week. Weather delays can extend timelines, especially during New Jersey’s unpredictable spring and fall seasons. We schedule projects to minimize business disruption and can often work in phases to keep portions of your lot accessible. The asphalt needs 24-48 hours to cure before full traffic loads, but light vehicles can usually use it within 12 hours.

Should I choose asphalt or concrete for my parking lot?

Asphalt works better for most commercial properties in New Jersey because it handles freeze-thaw cycles more gracefully and costs less upfront. Concrete makes sense for heavy industrial use, gas stations, or areas where chemical spills are common. Asphalt typically lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance, while concrete can last 25-30 years but costs significantly more initially. For retail and office properties, asphalt provides the best combination of durability, appearance, and cost-effectiveness. We’ll evaluate your specific traffic patterns and usage to recommend the right material for your situation.

How much does parking lot paving cost per square foot?

Commercial parking lot paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot for new asphalt installation, depending on thickness requirements and site conditions. Resurfacing existing lots costs $2-4 per square foot if the base is solid. Concrete installation ranges from $6-12 per square foot. These prices include base preparation, paving, and basic striping. Additional costs come from drainage work, ADA upgrades, or challenging site access. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific property because every lot has different requirements that affect the final price.

Can you work around our business hours to avoid disrupting customers?

Yes, we regularly schedule commercial projects to minimize business impact. Many retail and office properties need us to work evenings, weekends, or in phases that keep customer access open. We can often complete smaller sections at a time, maintaining access to your building while we work on other areas. The key is planning the project sequence carefully so you never lose all your parking spaces at once. Some work like base preparation creates noise and dust that’s better done when you’re closed, but finishing work can often happen during off-peak hours.

What maintenance does a new parking lot need?

New asphalt parking lots need sealcoating every 3-5 years to protect against weather and traffic wear. Crack sealing should happen as soon as small cracks appear, usually within the first 2-3 years in New Jersey’s climate. Restriping typically needs attention every 2-3 years depending on traffic volume. Snow removal should avoid metal plows that gouge the surface. The most important maintenance is addressing drainage issues quickly – standing water will destroy even the best parking lot over time. We provide a specific maintenance schedule based on your property’s usage patterns and local conditions.

Do you handle ADA compliance and local permit requirements?

Yes, we handle all ADA compliance requirements including proper handicapped space dimensions, access aisles, slope requirements, and connection to accessible building entrances. We also manage local permit applications and inspections required by Bridgewater Center and Somerset County. Most commercial parking lot projects need permits for drainage connections and sometimes for traffic management during construction. We coordinate with local authorities to ensure your project meets all current codes and passes inspections. This includes fire lane markings, proper signage placement, and any specific requirements for your property type or zoning district.
