You’re not looking for the cheapest bid. You’re looking for asphalt that holds up to Pennsylvania winters, heavy traffic, and the daily wear your property takes.
When your parking lot is done right, customers aren’t dodging potholes. Employees aren’t complaining about the commute in. Your insurance agent isn’t calling about slip-and-fall claims. You’re not scheduling another repair crew before the asphalt’s even cured.
Proper commercial paving means proper base prep, the right materials for your traffic load, and drainage that actually works. It means a contractor who shows up when they say they will and finishes the job without leaving you in the dark. That’s what changes a parking lot from a liability into an asset that quietly does its job for years.
We bring nearly 80 years of industry roots to every commercial project in Levittown and Bucks County. That’s not marketing talk—it’s generations of hands-on experience with everything from small business lots to large industrial sites.
Our crew works one job at a time. Not bouncing between sites, not rushing to squeeze in another project. When we’re on your property, that’s where the focus stays until it’s done right.
Levittown’s mix of established retail centers, office properties, and industrial facilities means every site has its own challenges. The drainage issues at a property near the Neshaminy Creek area look different than what you’ll find in the commercial zones off Bristol Pike. We treat every property like it deserves a custom solution—because it does.
First, there’s a site evaluation. Not a quick glance and a ballpark number—an actual assessment of your base condition, drainage patterns, traffic flow, and what your property actually needs. You get a clear explanation of the work and a straightforward estimate.
Once the project starts, the existing surface gets removed if needed, and the base gets properly graded and compacted. This is where a lot of contractors cut corners. We don’t. If the base isn’t right, nothing on top of it will last. Drainage solutions go in during this phase—catch basins, proper slope, whatever keeps water from pooling and destroying your investment.
Then comes the asphalt installation. The right thickness for your traffic load, proper compaction, smooth transitions at curbs and entries. After paving, you get striping, signage, and any finishing work that makes the lot functional and compliant. Throughout the process, you get updates. No guessing, no radio silence. Just clear communication about what’s happening and when you can expect it finished.

Commercial paving isn’t just throwing down asphalt. It’s site prep, excavation, base installation, grading for proper drainage, asphalt paving, compaction, and all the finishing touches that make a parking lot actually work.
In Levittown, where commercial properties range from small retail storefronts to large industrial facilities with heavy truck traffic, the approach has to match the demands. A light-traffic office lot needs different specs than a distribution center handling loaded semis daily. We tailor the thickness, base prep, and materials to what your property will actually endure.
Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on asphalt. Water gets into cracks, freezes, expands, and tears the surface apart. That’s why proper drainage and quality installation matter so much here. Levittown properties also deal with the usual challenges—tree roots near older commercial areas, soil conditions that vary across Bucks County, and local regulations that have to be met.
The service includes line striping to ADA standards, curbing, speed bumps if needed, and signage. Maintenance planning is part of the conversation too—sealcoating every few years, crack filling when needed, and keeping your lot in shape so you’re not starting from scratch in five years.
It depends entirely on the size of your lot and the scope of work. A small business parking lot with straightforward paving might take a few days. A larger commercial property with full excavation, new base installation, drainage work, and extensive striping could take a week or more.
Weather plays a role too. Asphalt needs certain temperature conditions to cure properly, and Pennsylvania weather doesn’t always cooperate. A good contractor will give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions cause delays.
The key is finding someone who focuses on doing it right rather than doing it fast. Rushed paving jobs skip steps, and you’ll pay for those shortcuts later. We work one job at a time, so our crew isn’t splitting attention or racing to the next site. That approach takes a bit longer sometimes, but it’s the difference between asphalt that lasts and asphalt that fails.
An overlay means paving a new layer of asphalt over the existing surface. It’s faster and cheaper than full replacement, but it only works if the base underneath is still solid. If your parking lot has minor surface wear but no major structural issues, an overlay can add years of life.
Full replacement means tearing out the old asphalt, addressing any base problems, and installing everything from scratch. It costs more and takes longer, but it’s the right move when the base has failed, when drainage is a mess, or when the existing pavement is too far gone to save.
The honest answer is that you won’t know which you need until someone evaluates your site. A contractor who automatically recommends the more expensive option without explaining why should raise red flags. So should one who promises an overlay will work when the base is clearly shot. We assess each property individually and explain what’s actually needed and why.
There’s no one-size-fits-all number because every property is different. A small retail lot with good existing base conditions will cost far less than a large industrial site that needs full excavation, new drainage, and heavy-duty asphalt for truck traffic.
Factors that affect cost include the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface and base, whether drainage work is needed, the thickness of asphalt required for your traffic load, and any additional features like curbing, striping, or ADA-compliant accessibility improvements.
The best approach is to get a detailed estimate based on an actual site evaluation. Be wary of quotes that come without someone looking at your property—they’re either guessing or planning to hit you with change orders later. We provide transparent estimates after evaluating your site, so you know what you’re paying for and why. Discounts are available for seniors, military, and first-time customers, which can help with budgeting.
Some disruption is unavoidable—you can’t pave a parking lot while cars are driving on it. But a good contractor minimizes the impact by planning the work in phases, scheduling around your busiest times, and keeping you informed every step of the way.
For many businesses, the solution is phased paving. We work on one section while keeping another area open for customer and employee access. Or the work gets scheduled during off-hours, weekends, or slower seasons to reduce interference with daily operations.
Communication is critical here. If you run a retail business that depends on weekend traffic, paving during the week makes sense. If you’re an industrial facility with round-the-clock operations, the approach needs to be different. We work with property owners to create a plan that gets the job done without shutting down your business. You’ll know the timeline, the access restrictions, and what to expect before the first piece of equipment shows up.
Start by looking at what’s failing. Small cracks, minor surface wear, and faded striping are maintenance issues—sealcoating, crack filling, and fresh paint can handle those. But if you’re seeing alligator cracking (that spiderweb pattern that means the base is failing), large potholes, significant settling, or standing water that won’t drain, you’re likely past the point where repairs will hold.
Another sign is how often you’re calling for fixes. If you’re patching the same spots over and over, the underlying problem isn’t getting addressed. That’s throwing money away on temporary solutions when the base or drainage needs real attention.
Age matters too. Asphalt doesn’t last forever, especially in Pennsylvania’s climate. If your lot is 15 to 20 years old and showing serious wear, replacement might be the smarter long-term investment. A site evaluation will give you a clear answer. We’ll walk the property, assess the base condition, check drainage, and explain whether you need targeted repairs, resurfacing, or full replacement—and why.
Start with experience, especially in commercial work. Residential driveways and commercial parking lots are different animals. You want a contractor who understands heavy traffic loads, ADA compliance, drainage for large paved areas, and how to manage projects that affect business operations.
Check references and reviews, but go deeper than star ratings. Look for comments about communication, whether the crew showed up on time, if the project stayed on budget, and how the pavement held up after a year or two. Five-star reviews are great, but details about follow-through and long-term results tell you more.
Ask about their process. Do they evaluate your site before quoting, or are they throwing out numbers over the phone? Do they explain what’s included in the estimate? How do they handle drainage, base prep, and compaction? A contractor who can’t or won’t explain their process probably doesn’t have a solid one. We’ve been doing this since 1948, work one job at a time to ensure quality, and treat every client with the same level of care—whether it’s a small lot or a large industrial project.
