You get a parking lot that handles New Jersey weather without cracking, pooling water, or embarrassing your business. No more worrying about liability issues from potholes or uneven surfaces.
Your customers notice the difference immediately. A smooth, properly graded parking lot makes your property look professional and well-maintained. It’s the kind of detail that builds confidence before they even walk through your door.
The right asphalt installation means fewer headaches down the road. You’re not dealing with emergency repairs during your busy season or scrambling to patch problems that could have been prevented from the start.
We’ve been handling paving projects since 1948. That’s three generations of learning what works in New Jersey’s climate and what doesn’t.
You’re not our side project. We focus on one job at a time, which means your parking lot gets our full attention instead of being squeezed between three other projects. Our crew shows up when we say we will, communicates clearly about what’s happening, and treats your property like it matters.
Readington property owners know they can count on us because we’ve built our reputation here. We’re not the guys who show up, do mediocre work, and disappear. We’re the team that stands behind what we build.
We start with a thorough site assessment to understand your property’s specific needs. Every parking lot is different, and cookie-cutter approaches lead to problems later. We look at drainage, traffic patterns, and soil conditions before we recommend anything.
Next comes proper preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s also where the longevity of your parking lot is determined. We handle grading, base preparation, and any necessary water management solutions before the asphalt goes down.
The installation itself follows industry best practices with attention to detail that shows in the finished product. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your business and keep you informed throughout the process. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and when.

Your parking lot paving project includes proper site preparation, quality asphalt installation, and professional finishing that meets local Readington requirements. We handle everything from initial grading to final striping if needed.
Readington’s climate demands specific attention to drainage and base preparation. We understand local soil conditions and weather patterns that affect asphalt performance. Your project gets the right approach for this area, not a generic solution that might work somewhere else.
We also provide water management solutions when needed. Poor drainage destroys even the best asphalt work, so we address these issues upfront. You get a comprehensive solution that protects your investment long-term.
Most parking lot paving projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. We start with site preparation and grading, which typically takes 1-2 days for average-sized lots.
The actual asphalt installation usually happens in one day once preparation is complete. After paving, you’ll need to wait 24-48 hours before allowing vehicle traffic, though foot traffic is possible sooner.
Weather can affect timing, especially in New Jersey. We don’t rush projects when conditions aren’t right because that compromises quality. We’ll keep you updated on any schedule adjustments needed.
Commercial paving typically requires thicker asphalt and more robust base preparation to handle heavier traffic loads. Parking lots see delivery trucks, customer vehicles, and constant use that demands stronger construction.
The preparation phase is more intensive for commercial projects. We often need deeper excavation, more substantial base materials, and better drainage systems to handle the increased load and water runoff.
Residential driveways can use lighter construction methods since they handle fewer vehicles and lighter loads. However, the same attention to proper grading and drainage applies to both types of projects.
If more than 25-30% of your parking lot shows significant cracking, potholes, or drainage issues, replacement usually makes more financial sense than patching. Extensive alligator cracking indicates base failure that repairs can’t fix.
Age is another factor. Asphalt typically lasts 15-25 years with proper maintenance. If your parking lot is approaching this age and showing multiple problems, replacement gives you a fresh start with modern materials and techniques.
We provide honest assessments during our site visits. Sometimes strategic repairs can extend your parking lot’s life, and we’ll tell you when that’s the better option. We’re not interested in selling you services you don’t need.
Parking lot paving costs vary significantly based on size, site conditions, and preparation requirements. Basic projects might run $3-7 per square foot, while complex sites requiring extensive preparation cost more.
Factors that affect pricing include existing pavement removal, grading needs, drainage improvements, and base preparation requirements. We provide detailed estimates that break down these costs so you understand what you’re paying for.
The cheapest bid isn’t always the best value. Proper preparation and quality materials cost more upfront but save money over time through reduced maintenance and longer lifespan. We focus on delivering value, not just low prices.
Yes, we coordinate parking lot striping and markings as part of comprehensive paving projects. Proper markings are essential for safety, compliance, and maximizing your parking capacity.
We work with certified striping contractors who understand ADA requirements and local Readington regulations. This ensures your parking lot meets all necessary standards for accessibility and safety.
Timing matters with striping. The asphalt needs to cure properly before striping can be applied, typically 30-60 days after installation. We coordinate this timeline and handle the scheduling so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors.
Regular maintenance starts with keeping your parking lot clean and addressing small issues quickly. Remove debris, leaves, and standing water that can accelerate deterioration.
Sealcoating every 2-4 years protects the asphalt surface from UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills. This relatively inexpensive maintenance significantly extends your parking lot’s lifespan.
Watch for small cracks and have them sealed promptly. Water infiltration through cracks damages the base and leads to expensive repairs. We can recommend maintenance schedules and trusted contractors for ongoing care.
