Pavement You Can Count On

Your driveway or parking lot takes a beating every day. Cars, trucks, weather, time – they all add up to cracks, potholes, and drainage problems that make your property look neglected and create real safety issues.

When you work with a licensed paving contractor, you get more than just hot asphalt thrown down. You get proper site preparation, quality materials, and installation that’s built to handle what Parlin’s climate throws at it. That means fewer repairs, better drainage, and pavement that actually improves your property value instead of dragging it down.

The difference shows up in how your driveway looks after the first winter. And the second. Professional paving means you’re not calling for emergency repairs every time the temperature drops or dealing with water pooling around your foundation because the grading was done wrong.

Paving Process Parlin NJ

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

Every paving project starts with proper assessment of your existing surface and drainage situation. We look at what’s causing problems now so we can fix them permanently, not just cover them up with new asphalt.

Site preparation is where most contractors cut corners, and it’s where most paving failures start. We remove damaged material, grade for proper drainage, and compact the base so your new pavement has solid support. No shortcuts, no hoping it holds up.

The actual paving happens fast once prep work is complete. We use quality asphalt mix appropriate for your specific application – residential driveways need different specifications than commercial parking lots. After installation, we handle cleanup and make sure you understand any curing requirements before regular use.

Complete Paving Services for Parlin

We handle both residential driveway paving and commercial parking lot projects throughout Parlin. Residential work includes new driveway installation, driveway repairs, and blacktop resurfacing. For commercial properties, we provide parking lot paving, loading dock areas, and access road construction.

Every project includes proper permits when required, quality materials from local suppliers, and cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it. We work around your schedule for residential projects and understand the importance of minimizing business disruption for commercial clients.

Maintenance services help extend the life of your investment. Sealcoating, crack sealing, and minor repairs handled promptly prevent small problems from becoming expensive replacements. Regular maintenance is especially important in New Jersey’s freeze-thaw climate.

How long does a typical driveway paving project take to complete?

Most residential driveway paving projects take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and site conditions. Day one typically involves removal of old material and site preparation, including grading and base work. Day two is asphalt installation and finishing. Weather can affect timing – we won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too low for proper curing. Commercial parking lots take longer based on size and complexity, but we work with you to minimize disruption to your business operations.

What's the difference between asphalt paving and simple resurfacing or patching?

Asphalt paving involves complete removal of damaged material and installation of new pavement with proper base preparation. Resurfacing adds a new layer over existing asphalt that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. Patching repairs specific damaged areas. Full paving lasts longest but costs more upfront. Resurfacing works when the base is solid but the surface is worn. Patching is temporary – good for emergency repairs but not a permanent solution. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach based on current conditions and your long-term needs.

How soon can I drive on newly paved asphalt driveway or parking lot?

You can typically walk on new asphalt within a few hours, but vehicle traffic should wait 24-48 hours minimum. Full curing takes several days to weeks depending on weather conditions. Hot weather speeds curing, cold weather slows it down. Heavy vehicles like delivery trucks should avoid new pavement for at least a week. We’ll give you specific timing based on weather conditions and asphalt mix used. Driving on asphalt before it’s properly cured can cause permanent indentations and surface damage that can’t be repaired without replacement.

Do I need permits for driveway paving or parking lot work in Parlin?

Permit requirements depend on project scope and location. Simple driveway repaving usually doesn’t require permits, but new driveways or changes to drainage patterns might. Commercial parking lot work often requires permits, especially if it affects stormwater management or connects to public roads. We handle permit applications when required and know local requirements in Parlin and surrounding Middlesex County areas. Part of our job is making sure your project meets all local codes and regulations. We’ll let you know upfront if permits are needed and factor that timing into your project schedule.

What causes asphalt driveways and parking lots to fail prematurely?

Poor drainage is the biggest killer of asphalt pavement. Water that pools or doesn’t drain properly seeps into the base material, causing settling and cracking. Inadequate base preparation is another major cause – thin base material or poor compaction leads to premature failure. Using the wrong asphalt mix for the application also causes problems. Heavy traffic on pavement designed for light use will fail quickly. Lack of maintenance like sealcoating and crack sealing allows small problems to become big ones. That’s why proper installation and regular maintenance are both important for long-term performance.

How much does professional paving cost compared to DIY or unlicensed contractors?

Professional paving costs more upfront than DIY attempts or unlicensed contractors, but it’s almost always cheaper long-term. DIY paving usually fails within a few years due to improper equipment, materials, and technique. Unlicensed contractors often cut corners on materials and preparation, leading to premature failure and no recourse when problems arise. Licensed contractors provide warranties, proper insurance, and quality materials. The cost difference between good and bad paving work becomes obvious after the first winter. Professional installation typically lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance, while poor installation might need replacement in 3-5 years.
