Plainfield Asphalt Paving Contractors

We Know Commercial Paving

We focus exclusively on commercial and large-scale paving projects throughout Plainfield and central New Jersey. We understand the unique challenges that come with business parking lots – heavy traffic loads, tight schedules, and the need for minimal disruption.

Our team has handled everything from small office complexes to major retail centers. We know how to work around your business hours and keep your operations running smoothly during construction.

Every project gets the same attention to proper drainage, quality materials, and solid base preparation. Because when you’re investing in a new parking lot, you need it done right the first time.

Parking Lot Installation Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we evaluate your existing surface and drainage situation. This tells us whether you need complete removal and replacement, or if resurfacing will handle your needs. We also check for any underlying issues that could cause problems later.

Next comes the preparation work. For new installations, we excavate to the proper depth and install a solid stone base. For resurfacing projects, we repair any major cracks or damaged areas first. Proper base preparation makes the difference between a parking lot that lasts 15 years versus one that starts failing in three.

The paving itself happens quickly once prep work is complete. We coordinate the timing to minimize impact on your business operations. After the asphalt is laid and compacted, you get clear instructions on when vehicles can return and what to expect during the curing process.

The service includes coordination with local inspectors and permits when required. We handle the details so you can focus on running your business instead of managing construction logistics. Most projects also include options for ongoing maintenance to protect your investment long-term.

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 often finish in 2-3 days, while larger retail or office complexes may need a full week. The timeline includes excavation, base preparation, paving, and final cleanup. Weather can extend the schedule since we can’t pave in rain or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions change the schedule.

Should I repair my existing parking lot or completely repave it?

It depends on the extent of damage and the age of your current surface. If you have isolated cracks and potholes but the overall structure is sound, targeted repairs and resurfacing might work. However, if you’re seeing widespread cracking, drainage problems, or the asphalt is over 15-20 years old, complete replacement usually makes more financial sense. Trying to patch a fundamentally failing parking lot just leads to ongoing problems and higher costs over time. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach.

How much does commercial parking lot paving cost per square foot?

Commercial parking lot paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot for complete installation, with costs varying based on thickness requirements, site conditions, and access challenges. Resurfacing existing lots costs less, usually $2-4 per square foot. Factors that affect pricing include the need for excavation, base material requirements, drainage work, and the complexity of the layout. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for and can budget accordingly.

Will paving disrupt my business operations significantly?

We work hard to minimize business disruption, but some impact is unavoidable during active paving. Most projects can be phased to keep part of your parking available, or scheduled during slower business periods. The actual paving work is usually the quickest part – it’s the prep work that takes time. We’ll discuss your specific operational needs during planning and create a schedule that works for your business. Many clients are surprised how quickly the actual disruption passes once we start the paving phase.

How long before we can drive on the new asphalt?

You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours under normal conditions, but full curing takes several weeks. Light vehicle traffic is usually fine after the first day, but we recommend avoiding heavy trucks or sharp turns for at least a week. Hot weather can extend the initial waiting period since asphalt stays softer longer. We’ll give you specific guidance based on the weather conditions and your particular installation. The surface will continue to harden and strengthen over the first few months.

Do you handle the striping and marking for parking spaces?

Yes, we coordinate the complete project including striping, handicap markings, and any required signage. Most commercial lots need ADA-compliant accessible spaces with proper dimensions and markings. We handle the layout to maximize your parking capacity while meeting all local requirements. The striping typically happens 7-14 days after paving to ensure the paint adheres properly to the cured surface. This includes standard parking spaces, directional arrows, stop bars, and any custom markings your business needs.
