When customers pull into your parking lot, they’re already forming opinions about your business. Cracked, uneven pavement sends the wrong message before they even walk through your door.
Professional commercial paving changes that equation entirely. You get smooth surfaces that guide traffic efficiently, clear striping that maximizes your space, and ADA-compliant access that welcomes every customer. No more liability concerns about potholes damaging vehicles or customers tripping on broken asphalt.
The result? A property that looks as professional as the work you do inside, parking that actually works for your business needs, and peace of mind knowing your investment will last for years with proper maintenance.

Great commercial paving starts with understanding your business needs, not just your pavement needs. We schedule around your operations, communicate every step, and finish on time.
First, we assess your current pavement, drainage, and traffic patterns. You get a detailed estimate that explains exactly what work is needed and why—no hidden costs or surprise additions later. We handle all permits and ensure ADA compliance from day one.
Installation begins with proper base preparation and grading for optimal drainage. We use commercial-grade materials designed for New Jersey weather and your specific traffic load. Final steps include professional striping, signage installation, and a thorough cleanup that leaves your property ready for business.

Your commercial paving project includes everything needed for a fully functional parking area. Professional installation covers base preparation, proper drainage systems, quality asphalt application, and precision striping for optimal traffic flow.
Califon businesses face unique challenges with seasonal weather changes and the need to maintain professional appearances year-round. Our commercial services address these local conditions with materials and techniques proven to handle freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic loads common in Hunterdon County.
Every project includes ADA-compliant accessibility features, proper drainage to prevent water damage, and striping designed for your specific business needs. We also provide ongoing maintenance planning to protect your investment and extend pavement life well beyond industry standards.
Most commercial paving projects in Califon take 2-5 days depending on size and scope, but we always work around your business schedule. Small parking lots under 5,000 square feet typically finish in 2-3 days, while larger commercial properties may require 4-5 days for complete installation.
We schedule work to minimize disruption to your operations. Many businesses prefer starting mid-week to have fresh pavement ready for weekend customers. Weather conditions can affect timing, but we communicate any delays immediately and adjust schedules accordingly.
The key is proper planning. During our initial consultation, we discuss your busiest days, delivery schedules, and customer traffic patterns to create a timeline that works for your business, not just our crew.
Every estimate includes complete project details with no hidden costs. You’ll see line items for excavation, base materials, asphalt thickness, striping, ADA compliance features, and cleanup—everything needed for a finished parking lot.
Our pricing reflects commercial-grade materials and proper installation techniques. This means adequate base preparation, appropriate asphalt thickness for your traffic load, and quality striping that lasts. We don’t cut corners on materials or processes that affect long-term performance.
Estimates also include permit costs, traffic control if needed, and a detailed timeline. We explain why each component is necessary and how it contributes to pavement longevity. This transparency helps you understand the value and make informed decisions about your property investment.
Proper drainage is critical for commercial pavement longevity, especially in New Jersey’s climate. We start every project with a thorough site evaluation to identify current drainage patterns and potential problem areas before any excavation begins.
Our installation process includes proper grading to direct water away from buildings and high-traffic areas. We install catch basins, drainage pipes, and proper slopes to prevent standing water that leads to premature pavement failure. This is particularly important in Califon where seasonal weather changes can create significant drainage challenges.
Existing drainage problems get addressed during installation, not ignored. Poor drainage is the leading cause of commercial pavement failure, so we design solutions that protect your investment. This might include additional drainage structures or modified grading, but we discuss all options before proceeding with work.
ADA compliance is included in every commercial paving project—it’s not an optional add-on. We ensure proper accessible parking spaces, compliant slopes, and appropriate striping that meets current federal accessibility standards for your business type and size.
Compliance requirements vary based on parking lot size and business type. We handle the calculations and ensure you have the correct number of accessible spaces positioned appropriately near building entrances. This includes proper access aisles, signage placement, and surface grades that meet ADA specifications.
Many business owners don’t realize that ADA non-compliance can result in significant fines and legal issues. We stay current with accessibility regulations and ensure your parking lot meets all requirements from day one, protecting your business from potential compliance problems.
New commercial asphalt requires minimal maintenance for the first 2-3 years, but proactive care significantly extends pavement life. The most important early maintenance is crack sealing within the first two years to prevent water infiltration that causes more serious damage.
Sealcoating should happen 2-3 years after installation, then every 3-4 years depending on traffic levels. This protective coating shields asphalt from UV damage, chemicals, and weather while refreshing the appearance. Regular cleaning and prompt repair of small issues prevent costly major repairs later.
We provide maintenance schedules tailored to your specific pavement and traffic conditions. Califon businesses benefit from seasonal inspections to identify winter damage early. Proper maintenance can double pavement life compared to neglected surfaces, making it a smart financial investment for any commercial property.
Business continuity is a primary consideration in our project planning. We work with you to identify the least disruptive schedule, often completing work in phases to maintain partial parking availability or scheduling around your busiest operational periods.
Most commercial projects allow for continued business operations with modified access routes. We coordinate with you to ensure customer and employee access, delivery schedules, and emergency vehicle access throughout the installation process. Clear signage and traffic control keep everyone safe and informed.
Communication is key to minimizing disruption. You receive daily updates on progress and any schedule adjustments needed due to weather or unexpected conditions. Our goal is completing quality work while allowing your business to continue serving customers with minimal inconvenience.
