South River Paving Contractors

We Know Commercial Paving

We’ve been handling commercial parking lot projects throughout South River and central New Jersey for years. We understand what works in this climate and what doesn’t.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for materials that last, installation done right the first time, and contractors who show up when we say we will.

Most of our work comes from referrals because business owners appreciate straightforward communication and results that match what we promise.

Parking Lot Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

We start with a site evaluation to assess your current lot condition, drainage needs, and any specific requirements for your business type. This helps us recommend the right approach and materials.

Next comes preparation work – proper excavation, grading, and base installation. This foundation work determines how long your lot will last, so we don’t cut corners here.

Then we install your new asphalt or concrete surface with proper compaction and finishing. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your business operations, often working around your schedule when possible.

Final steps include line striping, signage installation, and a walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations and local code requirements.

Asphalt and Concrete Options

What's Included in Your Service

You get complete parking lot installation from excavation through final striping. This includes proper base preparation, drainage solutions, and surface installation using commercial-grade materials.

We handle both asphalt and concrete parking lots depending on your needs and budget. Asphalt works well for most commercial applications and costs less upfront. Concrete lasts longer and handles heavy traffic better but requires higher initial investment.

Every project includes proper grading for drainage, compaction testing to ensure stability, and compliance with South River building codes and ADA requirements. We coordinate any necessary permits and inspections so you don’t have to manage those details.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most commercial parking lot projects take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Small lots under 5,000 square feet often finish in 2-3 days, while larger projects or those requiring extensive drainage work take longer. Weather affects timing since we can’t pave in rain or extreme temperatures. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if conditions cause delays. The key is proper preparation work – rushing this phase leads to problems later, so we build adequate time into every project schedule.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete for parking lots?

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better, making it popular for New Jersey commercial lots. It’s easier to repair if damage occurs and can be resurfaced when it shows wear. Concrete lasts longer and handles heavy trucks better but costs more initially and is harder to repair. For most South River businesses, asphalt provides the best value unless you have specific needs like heavy equipment or want the longest possible lifespan. We’ll recommend the right option based on your traffic patterns, budget, and long-term plans.

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

Commercial parking lot paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot for asphalt and $5-12 for concrete, but several factors affect final pricing. Site preparation needs, drainage requirements, accessibility, and local material costs all impact the total. Lots requiring significant excavation or drainage work cost more than simple overlay projects. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific site conditions rather than giving generic per-square-foot pricing that doesn’t account for your actual needs. Most business owners find the investment pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs and improved property value.

Can you pave during business hours or do we need to close?

We work around your business schedule whenever possible to minimize disruption. Many projects can be phased so you maintain some parking availability throughout the process. For smaller lots, we often work evenings or weekends when it makes sense. However, some phases like major excavation or final paving require temporary closure of work areas for safety and quality reasons. We discuss scheduling options during planning and find solutions that work for your specific business needs. The goal is completing quality work while keeping your operations running as normally as possible.

How long before we can drive on the new parking lot?

You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours under normal conditions, though we recommend keeping heavy trucks off for the first week. Concrete requires 7-10 days before regular traffic and longer for heavy vehicles. Hot weather extends curing time while cool weather may slow the process. We provide specific guidance based on actual conditions and your lot’s intended use. Rushing this timeline can cause permanent damage to the surface, so it’s worth following our recommendations. We’ll let you know exactly when it’s safe to resume normal operations.

Do you handle permits and inspections for commercial paving projects?

Yes, we manage permit applications and coordinate required inspections for commercial parking lot projects in South River. This includes building permits, drainage permits if needed, and any inspections required by local codes. We’re familiar with South River’s requirements and have working relationships with local inspectors, which helps projects move smoothly through the approval process. You’ll receive copies of all permits and inspection reports for your records. This service is included in our project management – you shouldn’t have to navigate municipal requirements when you’re trying to run your business.
