We Know New Jersey Commercial Paving

Platinum Paving has been handling commercial asphalt projects throughout Clark and Union County for years. We understand what it takes to install parking lots that hold up to heavy traffic and harsh Northeast winters.

Our crews show up when scheduled and complete projects on timeline. We use quality materials and proven techniques because we know you can’t afford to deal with premature cracking or drainage problems.

Most importantly, we understand that your business needs to keep operating during construction. We work with you to minimize disruption and keep your customers and employees safe throughout the project.

Parking Lot Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

We start with a site evaluation to assess your current pavement condition and drainage needs. This tells us exactly what prep work is required and helps us provide an accurate timeline and cost estimate.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where many contractors cut corners, but proper base work is what separates parking lots that last from ones that fail in a few years. We remove old asphalt, grade for proper drainage, and install the right base materials for your soil conditions.

Then we install the new asphalt in the appropriate thickness for your traffic load. Commercial parking lots need heavier asphalt than residential driveways, and we make sure you get the right specification. Finally, we handle striping and any required accessibility features to bring your lot up to current ADA standards.

What's Included in Your Paving Project

Every parking lot paving project includes proper excavation, base preparation, and asphalt installation using materials designed for New Jersey climate conditions. We handle the permits and ensure compliance with local building codes and ADA accessibility requirements.

You get professional line striping with durable paint that won’t fade quickly. We also install proper drainage features to prevent water accumulation that can damage your new asphalt or create safety hazards during winter months.

We coordinate with your business schedule to minimize disruption. For larger projects, we can often phase the work to keep portions of your parking available throughout construction. You’ll know exactly what to expect and when, so you can plan accordingly and keep your customers informed.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most commercial parking lot paving projects take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Smaller lots under 5,000 square feet often finish in 2-3 days, while larger commercial properties may need a full week. Weather can extend timelines since we can’t pave in rain or when temperatures drop too low. We provide realistic schedules upfront and keep you updated if conditions require adjustments. The key is proper planning – we coordinate with your business needs to minimize disruption and often can phase larger projects to keep portions of your lot available throughout construction.

What's the difference between asphalt resurfacing and complete replacement?

Resurfacing means installing a new layer of asphalt over your existing pavement, which works when the base is still solid but the surface is worn or cracked. Complete replacement involves removing all old asphalt and rebuilding from the base up. We recommend resurfacing when your lot has surface-level issues but no major settling or base failures. Full replacement is necessary when you have significant potholes, drainage problems, or structural issues that resurfacing won’t fix. During our site evaluation, we’ll assess your base condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution that actually solves your problems long-term.

How much does parking lot paving cost per square foot?

Commercial parking lot paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot in the Clark area, depending on thickness requirements, base conditions, and project complexity. Simple resurfacing costs less than complete reconstruction with new base work. Factors affecting price include excavation depth needed, drainage improvements, accessibility upgrades, and striping requirements. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific site conditions. While price matters, the lowest bid often means corners get cut on base preparation or asphalt thickness – issues that cost far more to fix later than doing the job right initially.

Can you pave during winter months in New Jersey?

Asphalt paving requires temperatures above 50 degrees and dry conditions, so winter paving in New Jersey is limited to warmer days. We typically pause major paving projects from December through February, though we can handle emergency repairs when weather permits. Spring and fall offer the best paving conditions – moderate temperatures help asphalt cure properly and weather is more predictable. We recommend scheduling non-emergency projects for March through November. If you have urgent needs during winter months, we can discuss temporary solutions and priority scheduling once conditions improve.

Do you handle ADA compliance and parking lot striping?

Yes, we ensure all parking lots meet current ADA accessibility requirements including proper slope grades, designated accessible spaces, and compliant striping. We calculate the required number of accessible spots based on your total parking count and install them in optimal locations near building entrances. Our striping includes durable paint designed for heavy traffic and New Jersey weather conditions. We also handle any required signage installation. Compliance isn’t optional – commercial properties must meet these standards, and we make sure your lot passes inspection while providing convenient access for all your customers and employees.

How long before we can drive on new asphalt pavement?

You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours after installation, depending on weather conditions and asphalt thickness. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before allowing regular traffic and avoiding heavy trucks for the first week when possible. Hot weather extends curing time while cooler temperatures allow faster access. We’ll give you specific guidance based on conditions during your project. For businesses that can’t close completely, we often phase parking lot projects to maintain access to portions of your lot throughout construction. The key is following our recommendations to avoid tire marks or damage during the initial curing period.
