Your parking lot becomes an asset, not a liability. Clean lines, proper drainage, and asphalt that holds up to Pennsylvania winters and summer heat.
You stop worrying about cracks, potholes, and the constant need for repairs. Instead, you get years of reliable surface that handles heavy traffic without breaking down.
Your property looks professional. Customers notice the difference, and you don’t have to explain away a deteriorating parking lot that makes your business look neglected.
We bring three generations of paving expertise to Bensalem properties. Our roots trace back to 1948, combining decades of hands-on experience with modern techniques.
What sets us apart is simple: we work on one job at a time. Your project gets our full attention, not divided focus across multiple sites.
Our approach is straightforward. No overselling, no hidden costs, no disappearing mid-project. We treat every client like our most important client because that’s how we built our reputation in the local community.
First, we assess your property’s specific needs. Every site is different, and cookie-cutter approaches lead to problems down the road. We examine drainage, traffic patterns, and existing conditions.
Next comes proper preparation. This means grading, base work, and addressing any water management issues before the first truck of asphalt arrives. Shortcuts here cost you money later.
The paving itself happens with full attention to detail. We’re not rushing to the next job because there isn’t one. Your project gets completed properly, with clean edges, proper compaction, and attention to the details that make the difference between five years and fifteen years of service life.

Every parking lot paving project includes proper site preparation, grading for drainage, and quality asphalt installation. But the real value comes from the details most contractors skip.
In Bensalem’s climate, water management makes or breaks your pavement. We address drainage issues before they become expensive problems. This includes proper sloping, edge work, and connection to existing drainage systems.
You also get transparent communication throughout the process. No surprises, no hidden costs, no wondering what’s happening next. We explain what we’re doing and why, so you understand the value of each step in the process.
Most parking lot paving projects in Bensalem take 2-5 days, depending on size and complexity. The timeline includes site preparation, base work, asphalt installation, and final cleanup.
Weather affects scheduling more than most people realize. Pennsylvania’s unpredictable weather means flexibility is essential. We won’t rush a job to meet an arbitrary deadline if conditions aren’t right for quality work.
You’ll get a realistic timeline upfront, with regular updates if weather or site conditions require adjustments. The goal is getting it done right, not getting it done fast.
Commercial paving typically requires thicker asphalt and stronger base preparation due to heavier traffic loads. Residential driveways usually need 2-3 inches of asphalt, while commercial lots often require 3-4 inches or more.
The base preparation differs significantly too. Commercial properties need deeper excavation and more substantial aggregate base to handle delivery trucks, employee parking, and customer traffic without developing ruts or soft spots.
Both require proper drainage and quality materials, but commercial projects have stricter requirements for accessibility compliance, fire lane specifications, and traffic flow considerations that residential projects don’t face.
Parking lot paving costs typically range from $3-7 per square foot in the Bensalem area, depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and project complexity. Simple overlay projects cost less than full-depth reconstruction.
Several factors affect pricing: existing pavement condition, drainage needs, accessibility requirements, and site access for equipment. Properties requiring extensive base work or utility adjustments cost more than straightforward installations.
The most expensive paving job is the one you have to do twice. Cutting corners on preparation or materials leads to premature failure and replacement costs that far exceed the initial savings from choosing the cheapest bid.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for parking lot paving in Pennsylvania. Temperatures between 50-85 degrees allow proper asphalt compaction and curing.
Avoid paving during wet weather or when rain is forecast within 24 hours. Moisture interferes with bonding and compaction, leading to premature failure. Similarly, extreme heat makes working conditions difficult and can affect material quality.
Planning ahead helps secure better scheduling and pricing. Many property owners wait until spring, creating scheduling bottlenecks. Fall paving often provides better availability and allows the new surface to cure before winter weather arrives.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate required inspections for paving projects in Bensalem. This includes municipal permits, utility coordination, and any accessibility compliance requirements.
Different projects require different permits. Simple resurfacing might only need basic permits, while new construction or significant drainage work requires more extensive approvals and inspections.
We manage the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate municipal requirements yourself. This includes scheduling inspections at the right project phases and ensuring all work meets local codes and standards.
New asphalt needs minimal traffic for the first 24-48 hours while it cures properly. Heavy vehicles should avoid the surface during this initial period to prevent permanent impressions or damage.
Sealcoating becomes important 6-12 months after installation, then every 2-3 years depending on traffic levels. This protects against water penetration, UV damage, and chemical spills that break down asphalt over time.
Regular maintenance includes prompt crack sealing, periodic sealcoating, and keeping the surface clean of debris and chemicals. Proper maintenance extends pavement life significantly and prevents small problems from becoming expensive repairs.
