You know that first impression your parking lot makes. Cracked asphalt and potholes don’t exactly scream “successful business.” When we’re done, your customers pull up to smooth, professional surfaces that actually enhance your property value.
No more worrying about liability issues from uneven pavement. No more water pooling after every storm. No more embarrassing apologies to clients about “watching the potholes.”
Your new parking lot handles Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy traffic, and everything else Mother Nature throws at it. That’s what happens when the job gets done right the first time.
We’ve been handling asphalt projects since 1948. Three generations of experience means we’ve seen every challenge Tullytown properties can throw at us.
We focus on one job at a time. While other contractors juggle multiple sites and leave you wondering when they’ll show up, our crew gives your project complete attention until it’s finished right.
You’ll know exactly what’s happening and when. No surprises, no excuses, no wondering if we forgot about you. Just straightforward communication and solid workmanship that Tullytown property owners have counted on for decades.
We start with proper site preparation. That means excavating to the right depth, checking drainage, and getting the base foundation solid. Skip these steps and your parking lot fails in two years instead of twenty.
Next comes grading and compaction. We’re creating the foundation that supports everything above it. This isn’t the sexy part, but it’s what separates parking lots that last from ones that crack apart.
Finally, we install the asphalt in lifts, compacting each layer properly. Temperature matters. Timing matters. Thickness matters. Get any of it wrong and you’re calling someone else for repairs next year. We’ve been doing this since 1948, so the details are handled.

Every parking lot paving project includes proper excavation, base preparation, grading for drainage, and professional asphalt installation. We handle the permits, coordinate utility markings, and manage every detail so you don’t have to.
Tullytown’s clay soil and seasonal weather create specific challenges. We account for proper drainage to prevent the water damage that destroys parking lots here. Your new surface gets the thickness and preparation needed for local conditions.
You also get transparent communication throughout the project. No guessing when we’ll show up or what’s happening next. We treat your property like our own and your time like it matters, because both do.
Most commercial parking lots take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. We start with excavation and base preparation on day one, which typically takes 1-2 days for proper compaction.
Asphalt installation happens next, usually completed in one day for standard parking lots. Weather affects timing since we can’t pave in rain or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees.
We give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it. No surprises, no endless delays. Your business operations matter, so we work efficiently to get you back to normal as quickly as possible.
Proper drainage is everything in Pennsylvania. Water sitting on or under asphalt creates the freeze-thaw damage that destroys parking lots. We grade every surface to move water away from the pavement and your building.
Base preparation matters just as much. Pennsylvania’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes. We excavate to proper depth and install the right base materials to handle soil movement without cracking your asphalt.
Asphalt thickness depends on your traffic load. Light car traffic needs different specifications than delivery trucks. We calculate the right thickness for your specific use, not just install whatever’s cheapest.
Parking lot paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot depending on size, thickness requirements, and site conditions. Larger lots cost less per square foot due to efficiency, while smaller areas or complex layouts cost more.
Excavation depth affects pricing significantly. If we’re removing old asphalt and digging deeper for proper base preparation, costs increase. But skipping proper prep work means calling us back for repairs in a few years.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost. No surprises, no hidden fees, no change orders unless you request additional work. You know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Sometimes, but it depends on the existing surface condition. If your current parking lot has structural problems, drainage issues, or significant cracking, paving over it just covers problems temporarily.
We evaluate every site individually. Solid concrete in good condition can often support new asphalt overlay. But if the base is failing or drainage is poor, we recommend complete removal and proper reconstruction.
The honest answer upfront saves you money long-term. Overlay might cost less initially, but if it fails in three years instead of lasting fifteen, you’ve wasted money. We tell you what will actually work, not just what costs least today.
Late spring through early fall works best in Pennsylvania. Asphalt needs ambient temperatures above 50 degrees for proper installation and compaction. Cold weather makes asphalt cool too quickly during installation.
Summer offers the most flexibility for scheduling, but spring and fall often provide ideal working conditions without extreme heat. We avoid winter paving except for emergency repairs.
Plan ahead if possible. Spring scheduling fills up quickly as everyone wants winter damage repaired. Fall projects often get better pricing and faster scheduling since demand drops after summer construction season.
Yes, we coordinate all permits required for your parking lot project in Tullytown. Most commercial paving requires permits for excavation and potentially stormwater management depending on size and drainage changes.
We also arrange utility marking through PA One Call before any excavation begins. This prevents damage to underground utilities and keeps your project on schedule without expensive delays or repairs.
You don’t need to worry about paperwork or coordination. We handle permits, utility marking, and any municipal requirements. Your job is running your business while we handle the paving details properly and legally.
