Your parking lot becomes the kind of surface that makes customers think well of your business instead of wondering if you care about details. No more potholes that damage cars or create liability issues. No more water pooling against your building because someone didn’t understand drainage.
You get a smooth, durable surface that handles New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy commercial traffic without cracking or settling. Your maintenance costs drop significantly because the job was done right from the start.
The project actually gets completed on schedule. You don’t spend weeks wondering if your contractor is coming back or dealing with half-finished work that disrupts your operations indefinitely.
We’ve been handling commercial paving projects in Mercerville since 1948. Three generations of learning what works in Central New Jersey and what fails after the first winter.
You’re dealing with a crew that focuses on one job at a time. While other contractors juggle multiple projects and leave you waiting, we commit our full team to your project until it’s complete. No rushing off to start someone else’s job while yours sits unfinished.
We know Mercerville’s soil conditions, drainage challenges, and exactly what it takes to build commercial paving that survives decades of New Jersey weather. Local experience matters when your investment needs to last.
We start with a thorough site evaluation, not a quick estimate from the parking lot. That means checking drainage patterns, soil conditions, and identifying any issues that could cause problems later. You get a detailed written proposal that covers everything.
The prep work happens properly before any asphalt gets laid. We handle grading, address drainage problems, and build a solid base that won’t settle or shift. Most paving failures start with shortcuts during preparation—we don’t take those shortcuts.
Installation happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your business operations. We coordinate timing around your schedule, keep work areas safe and clean, and provide regular updates so you know exactly when each phase will be complete.

Every commercial paving project includes comprehensive site preparation, proper grading, and drainage solutions designed for your specific property. We don’t just cover existing problems with new asphalt—we fix underlying issues that cause premature failure.
Mercerville’s clay soil and seasonal weather patterns require specific installation techniques. We adjust our approach based on your property’s unique conditions, soil composition, and drainage requirements. One-size-fits-all approaches fail here within a few years.
You get water management systems that protect your investment long-term. Poor drainage destroys even premium paving work, so we design proper slopes, runoff systems, and grading that work with Central New Jersey’s terrain and rainfall patterns.
Most commercial paving installations in Mercerville take 3-5 business days, depending on size and complexity. Smaller parking lots typically finish in 2-3 days, while larger commercial properties may require 4-5 days for proper completion.
Timeline depends on prep work required, existing drainage issues, and weather conditions. We provide accurate schedules upfront and stick to them because we focus exclusively on your project until completion. Unlike contractors juggling multiple jobs, you get our full attention.
Weather can affect timing—we won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees. Quality installation requires proper conditions, and we’d rather delay a day than deliver substandard work that fails within two years.
Commercial paving must handle significantly heavier loads and constant traffic stress. Delivery trucks, employee vehicles, and customer traffic create different wear patterns than typical residential use, requiring specialized materials and techniques.
The asphalt mix uses heavier-duty aggregates and binders designed for commercial applications. Base preparation is more extensive because commercial properties can’t afford failures that shut down operations or create liability issues.
Commercial projects also require ADA-compliant slopes, proper drainage systems, and often specific striping requirements. We handle all technical and regulatory requirements so your property meets code and functions reliably for decades.
Drainage issues destroy paving faster than heavy traffic or weather. Water that pools or doesn’t drain properly will crack and undermine even the best asphalt within 2-3 years, creating expensive replacement needs.
We evaluate your property’s natural water flow patterns and design grades that direct water away from buildings and high-traffic areas. This often requires adjusting existing slopes or installing drainage systems before any paving begins.
Mercerville’s soil conditions and seasonal weather patterns require specific drainage solutions. After 75 years of local projects, we know exactly how water moves through different areas and what systems provide long-term protection for your investment.
Absolutely. We understand your business can’t shut down completely while we repave your parking lot. We design work schedules that minimize impact on your daily operations and customer access.
For larger projects, we often work in phases, sectioning off areas to keep portions of your parking available throughout the project. We coordinate timing around your busiest periods, delivery schedules, and important events or meetings.
Success requires advance planning and communication. When you provide details about your operational constraints and peak business hours, we can structure the project timeline to keep your business running smoothly throughout the installation process.
Properly installed commercial paving needs minimal maintenance for the first 3-4 years. The biggest threats are water penetration through small cracks and concentrated heavy loads that can cause localized damage.
Sealcoating every 3-4 years protects the surface from oxidation and extends pavement life by 50-100%. Small cracks should be sealed promptly before water reaches the base layer. Regular cleaning and occasional power washing maintain appearance and surface integrity.
We provide specific maintenance schedules based on your property’s traffic patterns, usage intensity, and environmental conditions. Following these recommendations typically doubles your paving investment’s lifespan compared to neglected surfaces.
New Jersey’s climate presents specific challenges for commercial paving installation. We cannot install asphalt when temperatures drop below 50 degrees or when precipitation is expected within 24 hours of completion.
Spring and early fall provide optimal conditions for paving projects in Mercerville. Summer heat can compromise asphalt quality and create difficult working conditions, while winter weather obviously stops most installation work entirely.
When weather delays occur, we communicate immediately and adjust project timelines accordingly. We prioritize installation quality over speed—rushing work in poor conditions creates failures that require expensive replacement within a few years of completion.
