That cracked, pothole-filled parking lot is costing you money. Customers see it and keep driving. Delivery trucks avoid your property. Insurance companies ask uncomfortable questions about liability.
Professional paving installation changes everything immediately. Smooth surfaces that guide traffic naturally. Clean appearance that says you run a quality operation. Proper drainage that prevents the water damage plaguing so many Alexandria properties.
You get years of maintenance-free service. No emergency repairs disrupting your business. No apologizing to customers about your parking conditions. Just a lot that works like it should, supporting your business instead of hurting it.
Three generations of our family have been paving Alexandria and Hunterdon County. We’ve seen contractors come and go, but we’re still here because we do the work right the first time.
Every project gets owner supervision. Not just a quick visit – actual oversight from start to finish. We know Alexandria’s unique challenges. The soil conditions that require special base preparation. The drainage patterns that catch inexperienced contractors off guard.
Local businesses trust us because we understand what works in this climate. We’ve repaired too many jobs done by contractors who didn’t grasp New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles or Hunterdon County’s terrain challenges.
We start with a thorough site assessment. Soil conditions, drainage patterns, traffic requirements. The details that determine whether your lot lasts five years or twenty-five years.
Proper preparation comes next. Base work that can handle Alexandria’s clay soils and seasonal moisture changes. Drainage solutions designed for our specific rainfall patterns. This is where corners get cut by other paving contractors, and where you pay the price later.
Installation uses materials matched to your needs. Commercial lots get different specifications than residential driveways. Heavy delivery areas get reinforced sections. We don’t use one-size-fits-all approaches because they don’t work.
Final details matter too. Proper compaction that prevents settling. Clean edges that look professional. Striping that maximizes your space while meeting ADA requirements. Your lot is ready when we say it is, not before.

Your paving project includes everything needed for long-term success in Alexandria’s climate. Base preparation designed for local soil conditions. Asphalt mixes that handle our temperature swings. Drainage systems that prevent the water problems destroying parking lots across Hunterdon County.
Alexandria businesses face specific challenges. Municipal permit requirements that can delay projects. Soil conservation district standards for certain properties. ADA compliance for commercial parking. We navigate these requirements routinely.
Commercial properties get specialized attention. Traffic flow design that reduces congestion. Striping that maximizes capacity without sacrificing safety. Maintenance planning that keeps your lot functioning efficiently for years.
We understand Alexandria’s business community. Retail properties need different solutions than office complexes. Industrial sites have unique requirements. Restaurant parking lots face different challenges than medical offices. Our approach matches your specific needs.
Parking lot paving costs in Alexandria typically range from $2.00 to $7.00 per square foot for commercial projects. Your actual cost depends on current conditions, size, and complexity requirements.
Simple resurfacing over a solid base costs less than full reconstruction. However, trying to save money with inadequate preparation usually backfires within a few years. Alexandria’s clay soils and drainage challenges require proper base work for lasting results.
We provide detailed estimates that explain every cost. No hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll understand exactly what you’re paying for and why each element is necessary for your specific property and conditions.
Most Alexandria parking lot projects take 2-4 days, depending on size and site conditions. Small lots often finish in one day, while larger commercial installations may need a week for proper staging and curing.
Weather significantly affects scheduling in New Jersey. We don’t pave in rain or when temperatures drop too low. Rushing work in poor conditions creates problems that cost more to fix than doing it right initially.
We coordinate timing with your business operations. Many commercial projects happen during weekends or slower periods. Alexandria businesses appreciate our flexibility in scheduling around their peak times and customer needs.
Resurfacing works when your base remains solid but the surface shows wear. We add 1.5-2 inches of new asphalt over existing pavement. This costs less and completes faster than full reconstruction.
Complete rebuilding becomes necessary when the base has failed or drainage problems exist. Alexandria’s soil conditions and weather patterns can compromise foundations over time. Overlaying a failed base just delays inevitable problems.
We assess your specific situation thoroughly before recommending the best approach. Sometimes spending more upfront for complete reconstruction saves significant money long-term by avoiding repeated repairs on compromised foundations.
Yes, drainage solutions are essential for parking lot longevity in Alexandria. Poor drainage is the leading cause of premature pavement failure in our climate. We address these issues as part of every commercial paving project.
Solutions range from improved grading to installing catch basins and underground systems. The right approach depends on your property’s specific challenges and Alexandria’s municipal requirements. Some areas require soil conservation district approval for drainage modifications.
Hunterdon County’s terrain creates unique water management challenges. We understand local patterns and design systems that handle heavy rains and snow melt without compromising your pavement structure or neighboring properties.
Light vehicles can typically use new asphalt after 24-48 hours, but heavy trucks should wait 3-5 days minimum. Rushing this timeline can cause permanent damage to your investment.
Temperature affects curing significantly. Hot summer weather speeds the process, while cooler spring and fall temperatures require longer waiting periods. We provide specific guidance based on actual conditions during your project.
We plan projects around your business needs. Many Alexandria commercial properties schedule paving during slower periods or coordinate with weekend timing. Proper planning prevents business disruption while ensuring optimal long-term results.
New parking lots need minimal immediate maintenance, but preventive care dramatically extends their lifespan. Sealcoating should begin 12-18 months after installation, then every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure.
Address minor cracks promptly before they become major problems. Alexandria’s freeze-thaw cycles can turn small cracks into expensive repairs quickly. Regular cleaning and proper snow removal also protect your investment significantly.
We provide maintenance schedules specific to your installation and usage patterns. Following these guidelines can double your pavement’s useful life. Neglecting maintenance leads to expensive repairs that proper care would have prevented entirely.
