Our Paving Installation Process

How We Handle Your Project

Every quality paving job starts with proper preparation. We assess your site, handle any necessary grading, and ensure proper drainage before any asphalt gets laid. This foundation work determines how well your pavement will perform long-term.

Next comes the installation itself. We use professional-grade equipment and quality materials, applying the asphalt at the right temperature and thickness for your specific application. Whether it’s a residential driveway or commercial parking lot, the techniques matter.

After installation, we handle proper compaction and finishing. Your new asphalt needs time to cure properly, and we’ll walk you through the timeline and any temporary restrictions. The result is durable pavement that’s ready to handle years of use.

Residential and Commercial Paving

Complete Paving Services for Any Property

We handle the full range of asphalt paving needs in Rahway. For homeowners, that means driveways that enhance curb appeal and provide reliable access to your property. We understand local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and how to build driveways that complement your property.

Commercial property owners get parking lots designed for heavy traffic and long-term durability. We work with property managers, business owners, and facility managers who need professional results on schedule and within budget.

Both residential and commercial projects get the same attention to proper preparation, quality materials, and professional installation. The difference is in the specific requirements – traffic loads, drainage needs, and local regulations that apply to your particular situation.

How long does asphalt paving take to complete?

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete, while commercial parking lots vary based on size and complexity. The actual paving happens relatively quickly, but proper preparation work – grading, drainage, and base preparation – often takes longer than the asphalt installation itself. Weather conditions can affect the timeline, since we need appropriate temperatures for proper asphalt installation and curing. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if conditions require any adjustments to the schedule.

What's the difference between asphalt and blacktop paving?

Asphalt and blacktop are essentially the same material – a mixture of aggregate and bitumen. The terms are often used interchangeably, though “blacktop” typically refers to the final surface layer you see and drive on. What matters more than terminology is the quality of materials, proper installation techniques, and appropriate thickness for your specific application. Residential driveways and commercial parking lots have different requirements, and we match the specification to your needs rather than getting caught up in terminology.

How much does professional paving cost in Rahway?

Paving costs depend on several factors: the size of your project, site conditions, required preparation work, and thickness specifications. Residential driveways typically cost less per square foot than commercial installations due to different load requirements and specifications. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work like grading or drainage improvements. The investment in quality paving pays off through durability and reduced maintenance needs over time. We’ll assess your specific situation and provide transparent pricing.

How long should I wait before driving on new asphalt?

You can typically walk on new asphalt within a few hours, but vehicles should stay off for at least 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions and asphalt thickness. Hot weather requires longer curing time, while cooler temperatures allow earlier use. Heavy vehicles or turning movements (like backing out of a driveway) create more stress and may require additional curing time. We’ll give you specific guidance based on your installation conditions and intended use. Following proper curing guidelines prevent premature wear and ensure your pavement performs as designed.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Rahway?

Permit requirements depend on your specific project and local regulations. Simple driveway repaving often doesn’t require permits, while new installations or significant changes to drainage patterns may need municipal approval. Commercial parking lot projects typically have more stringent requirements including engineering plans and permits. As a licensed paving contractor familiar with Rahway requirements, we help navigate any permit needs and ensure your project meets local codes. We’ll assess your situation and handle any necessary paperwork as part of our service.

What maintenance does asphalt paving require?

Quality asphalt requires minimal maintenance when properly installed. Sealcoating every 2-3 years helps protect against weather and extends pavement life, while prompt crack repair prevents water infiltration that can cause bigger problems. Keep the surface clean and address any drainage issues quickly. Avoid heavy loads on hot days when possible, and use proper snow removal techniques in winter. Most maintenance is preventive rather than reactive – small investments in upkeep protect your larger investment in quality paving. We can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific installation and usage patterns.
