You get a parking lot that doesn’t embarrass your business or create liability headaches. No more apologizing to customers about potholes or worrying about slip-and-fall lawsuits.
Your property value stays protected. When asphalt is installed correctly the first time, you’re looking at decades of reliable service instead of emergency repair calls every few months.
The right contractor handles drainage properly, uses quality materials, and knows how Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles affect pavement. You get peace of mind knowing the job was done right.
We’ve been handling commercial paving projects since 1948. That’s three generations of experience dealing with Pennsylvania’s tough weather conditions and understanding what works long-term.
We focus on one job at a time. While other contractors juggle multiple projects, your parking lot gets our crew’s complete attention until it’s finished right.
Our approach is straightforward: transparent communication, quality materials, and treating every project like it matters. We’ve earned five-star reviews on Angie’s List because we do what we say we’ll do.
First, we assess your site’s drainage needs and traffic patterns. Poor drainage kills asphalt faster than anything else, so we address water management from the start.
Next comes proper subgrade preparation. This foundation work determines whether your pavement lasts 10 years or 30 years. We don’t cut corners here because you’ll pay for it later if we do.
Then we install the asphalt using proven techniques and quality materials suited for Pennsylvania’s climate. Our crew works efficiently to minimize disruption to your business operations while ensuring every detail meets our standards.

You get complete site preparation including grading and drainage solutions. Many contractors skip proper prep work, but water problems will destroy even the best asphalt if the foundation isn’t right.
Our paving installation includes quality hot-mix asphalt designed for Pennsylvania’s temperature extremes. We also handle striping, signage, and ADA compliance requirements so your parking lot meets all regulations.
Woodbourne’s clay soil and seasonal weather create specific challenges for pavement longevity. We account for local soil conditions and use techniques that work specifically in this area’s climate, not generic approaches that fail when winter hits.
Properly installed commercial asphalt typically lasts 15-25 years in Pennsylvania, depending on traffic load and maintenance. The key factors are quality installation and addressing drainage issues upfront.
Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but asphalt handles these conditions better than concrete when installed correctly. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years can extend lifespan significantly.
Poor installation or drainage problems can cut that lifespan in half. That’s why choosing an experienced contractor who understands local conditions matters more than finding the cheapest bid.
An overlay adds new asphalt over existing pavement that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. Full replacement removes old pavement and starts fresh with new base preparation.
Overlay works when your existing asphalt has minor cracking and surface issues but no major structural problems. It costs less and takes less time than full replacement.
Full replacement is necessary when you have extensive cracking, drainage issues, or base failure. While more expensive upfront, it gives you a completely fresh start and typically lasts longer than trying to patch over fundamental problems.
Proper drainage starts with site grading to direct water away from the pavement and buildings. We evaluate the entire site’s water flow patterns, not just the immediate paving area.
We install drainage systems where needed, including catch basins, culverts, and proper slope design. Standing water is asphalt’s biggest enemy, so addressing drainage properly during installation prevents expensive problems later.
For existing drainage problems, we often need to remove failed pavement, fix the underlying issues, and start over. It costs more initially but saves money compared to repeatedly patching drainage-related failures.
Most commercial projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. We coordinate with you to minimize business disruption and can often work around your operating hours when possible.
You’ll need to keep vehicles off the new asphalt for 24-48 hours while it cures. We provide clear timelines and communicate any schedule changes due to weather or unexpected site conditions.
We handle permits, coordinate with utility companies if needed, and ensure the site is clean and ready for use when we’re finished. Our goal is completing quality work with minimal impact on your daily operations.
Commercial paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot depending on project size, site conditions, and thickness requirements. Larger projects generally cost less per square foot than smaller ones.
Factors affecting cost include current pavement condition, drainage needs, site accessibility, and local material costs. Projects requiring extensive prep work or utility coordination cost more than straightforward installations.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises or hidden fees – just transparent pricing for quality work.
Late spring through early fall offers the best weather conditions for paving in Pennsylvania. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to cure properly and perform well long-term.
We can work during cooler months when necessary, but optimal results come from paving when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. Planning ahead for spring installation often saves money and ensures better scheduling.
Emergency repairs can be done year-round, but major paving projects scheduled during peak season typically have better outcomes. Contact us early in the year to secure preferred timing for your project.
