Your parking lot becomes an asset, not a headache. No more worrying about potholes damaging customer vehicles or water pooling after every storm.
A properly paved surface handles heavy traffic without cracking under pressure. Your customers notice the difference – smooth entry, professional appearance, and safe walking surfaces that don’t buckle or shift.
The right foundation work means fewer repairs down the road. You’re investing in years of reliable performance, not just a quick fix that’ll need attention again next season.
We’ve been handling paving projects since 1948. Three generations of experience means we understand what works in New Jersey’s climate and what doesn’t.
We focus on one job at a time. Your project gets our full attention from start to finish, not divided focus between multiple sites. This approach has earned us five-star reviews and repeat customers throughout central New Jersey.
WhiteHouseStation property owners deal with freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, and varied soil conditions. Our local experience matters when you’re laying asphalt that needs to perform year after year.
First comes site evaluation and grading. Proper drainage prevents future problems, so this step determines how water flows away from your property. We remove any existing surface completely if needed.
Base preparation follows. The foundation determines everything – skip corners here and you’ll pay later. Proper compaction and materials create the stable platform your asphalt needs.
Asphalt installation happens when conditions are right. Temperature, weather, and timing all matter. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring proper thickness and smoothness throughout your parking area.

Every parking lot paving project we handle includes proper grading, drainage solutions, and surface preparation. We don’t take shortcuts on the foundation work that determines long-term performance.
WhiteHouseStation’s clay soils and seasonal weather patterns require specific approaches. We adjust our techniques based on your property’s conditions, not a one-size-fits-all method.
Commercial properties get additional considerations – traffic flow, ADA compliance, and line striping coordination. Residential customers receive the same attention to detail whether it’s a small driveway extension or large parking area.
Most parking lot paving projects take 2-4 days depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves site preparation and grading work. Asphalt installation happens on day two or three when weather conditions are optimal.
The surface needs 24-48 hours before regular vehicle traffic. Heavy trucks should wait at least 72 hours. You’ll receive specific timing based on your project’s scope and current weather conditions.
Weather delays can extend timelines, but proper planning minimizes disruptions. We coordinate with your schedule to reduce impact on business operations or daily routines.
Commercial paving handles heavier loads and more frequent traffic. This requires thicker asphalt layers and more robust base preparation. Commercial projects also need proper drainage for larger surface areas.
Residential paving focuses on durability for typical vehicle weights and occasional heavy deliveries. The process is similar but specifications adjust for expected usage patterns and load requirements.
Both applications use quality materials and proper installation techniques. The difference lies in thickness, base preparation, and drainage considerations based on your specific needs and traffic expectations.
Proper grading directs water away from structures and prevents pooling. This starts with site evaluation to understand natural water flow patterns and existing drainage systems.
We create slight slopes throughout the paved area, typically 1-2% grade toward designated drainage points. This ensures water moves efficiently without creating low spots where moisture collects.
In WhiteHouseStation’s climate, freeze-thaw cycles make drainage critical. Standing water leads to cracking and premature deterioration. Proper water management extends your pavement’s lifespan significantly.
Square footage is the primary factor, but thickness requirements and base preparation significantly impact pricing. Areas needing extensive grading or drainage work cost more than simple overlay projects.
Existing surface condition matters. Complete removal and replacement costs more than overlay applications, but sometimes partial fixes create bigger problems later. Honest assessment prevents surprise costs.
Access and site conditions affect efficiency. Easy access with level terrain keeps costs down. Challenging sites requiring special equipment or extensive prep work increase project investment accordingly.
Properly installed asphalt parking lots last 15-25 years with basic maintenance. Quality depends on foundation work, material specifications, and installation techniques – not just the surface layer.
New Jersey’s climate demands proper drainage and appropriate thickness. Corners cut during installation show up within the first few years as cracking, settling, or drainage problems.
Regular maintenance like seal coating every 3-5 years extends lifespan significantly. Small repairs handled promptly prevent larger problems that require complete replacement sooner than expected.
Yes, we provide all parking lot paving estimates at no charge. Our evaluation includes site assessment, drainage review, and discussion of your specific needs and timeline requirements.
Our estimates detail all work included – grading, base preparation, asphalt installation, and cleanup. No hidden costs or surprise charges appear later. You know exactly what you’re investing in upfront.
The estimate process typically takes 30-45 minutes on-site. This allows time to understand your property’s unique conditions and discuss options that fit your budget and performance expectations.
