Commercial Paving Contractor
- Consultations with experienced asphalt pavers are a key part to a successful repair, resurface or implementation of Parking Lot or roads. We carry high hopes that VA Commercial Paving will stand out as the most detailed economical proposal you will receive for your pavement project. We keep updated with the asphalt paving industries advances that may be of benefit to our clients. However, we also have the experience of 3 generations of asphalt pavers that know enough when to be skeptical enough to wait on real world testing. We aren’t the first to jump on something new but we aren’t the last either.
- We follow our competitors to make sure we are offering the most affordable (yet strictly built to code) pavement services in the marketplace. Cutting corners during installation, such as buying the cheapest grade of asphalt mix, not putting down enough gravel base and hiring unskilled labor is not what we do. Replacing a road or parking lot before its expected lifespan is the most expensive road or parking lot you'll ever buy when you hire a less than respectable paving contractor.
We can handle large and small jobs alike

Parking Lot Paving Companies
- The world revolves around commerce and for that to take place smoothly we need roads to move the goods and parking lots to help the motoring public move purchases home in their cars. The fist impression of a business starts at the parking lot and bad first impressions are hard to overcome even when a delightful interior awaits inside the building. Providing a safe area in which to park your car is important to your clients, especially for women and the elderly who are more at risk negotiating a broken and damaged parking lot.
- VA Commercial Paving crew leaders are seasoned asphalt specialists that can look at a mixture of asphalt and know immediately if any additional components need to be added, such as crushed rock or binder (black glue that binds the mix together) to make a quality mix. These observations of asphalt mixtures are an important skill to acquire as it keeps pavement repairs and installations error free. Commercial property managers need not worry about our paving capabilities- we’ve got this covered.

Parking lot repair of potholes, cracks, depressions…
- Parking lots need to stand the test of time, and our longevity in business proves our commitment to providing our community with superior workmanship, and business integrity. If your customers are complaining about pot holes causing damage to their cars, your parking lot needs to be repaired. Many problems can be solved without complete replacement.
- Crack Sealing for Roads and Parking Lots: Preparation of the crack is important for good adhesion or bonding. If the cracks are small they can be blown out to remove all loose material using high pressure air, sandblasting, wire brushing, or high-pressure water. Then the crack should be filled with sealant carefully from the bottom of the crack to the top of the crack to prevent air bubbles. Air bubbles create weak spaces in the asphalt which will cave in with time. Crack sealing will last three to eight years depend on condition of pavement, climate, materials used, and technique.
- Pot Hole Repair for Roads and Parking Lots: All deteriorated material is removed from the Pot hole then using high pressure air all the dust of the crumbling pavement or other debris is blown free of the hole. Sometimes some of the subgrade needs to be removed to reach firm support, but whatever is removed is replaced and compacted. Finally, an asphalt mix, specific for patching holes, is filled into the hole then compacted with a roller. We guarantee all repairs.
New parking lot installation- its design and build
- Layout and Design for a parking lot should be quidded by the goal to provide a safe environment for the public in which they can drive, park and walk in relative safety to their buildings destination. 20% of all insurance claims filed have their beginnings in a parking lot- safety is first in thought. The next important consideration is to maximize the parking slots without causing frustration or anger on behalf of its users.
- Permits: Your parking lot must be designed in compliance with all local, state, and federal codes before construction can even begin. All necessary permits and approvals must be secured. The city or county requires a blueprint design that specifies drainage plans, foundation specifics, what kind of asphalt mix, thickness of asphalt layer, layout design of emergency access, handicap spaces and striping (pavement marking). In many rural areas, properties are less likely to be regulated by city and county specifications so a professional asphalt paving contractor can build a parking lot in accordance with industry standards yet based on your specifications.
Resurfacing or Renewal
- Resurfacing is when part of the surface of a paved area is removed and ground up to be used as the aggregate in new asphalt mixes for pavement. Just enough of the surface is removed to correct the uneven road surface caused by bumps, loose aggregate, rutting and depressions. The area is then repaved with compacted layers of new asphalt. This process is responsible for recycling about 95% of asphalt pavement needing repair in the USA.
- Asphalt recycling centers take the removed asphalt chunks or millings crush them and then pass the rubble through a screening process to sort out appropriate sized material. The crushed asphalt material is then mixed with virgin asphalt material sometimes up to 30% recycled material is used. Actually, a wide range of waste materials are mixed into the asphalt hot mix for pavements, such as ground tire rubber, foundry sand, glass, pig manure and slags (stone waste matter separated from metals during the smelting or refining of ore (naturally occurring state of metal as pulled from the earth)
Pavement markings and signage
- Markings are used on paved roads and parking lots to give guidance or to inform drivers and pedestrians as to where to park, turn, no go zones, fire zones, crossings and many others.
- Painted and other types of striping are generally imbued with reflective characteristics so they can be easily seen even in low light. The markings need to be understandable and consistent with others used throughout the country or confusion will cause mayhem.
- There are many unique situations that require signage to control behavior in a parking lot, such as handicap parking, pregnant women parking, employee of the month parking- we have provided these with regularity. These signs should also be spelled right- an experienced commercial paving company will get it done right the first time.
Grading
- Surface drainage is created by using earth movers to grade an area of land, set aside for a new road or parking lot, so that water collects and flows to a lower elevation away from the pavement. The slope is the most important objective to get right- for efficient drainage, paved surfaces should have a minimum 1-percent slope (each foot of elevation drop over a 100-foot length is 1 %).
- Erosion surrounding the pavement should also be controlled by installing stone, sod or other means to stabilize the landscape so a washout under the pavement doesn’t occur.
- Our expert graders check the slope with laser guided transits and automatic motor graders during and before pronouncing the project complete.
Sealcoating for maintenance
- Though Asphalt pavement is a durable material for parking lots and roads it doesn’t last forever. As soon as Asphalt Pavement is laid, it is exposed to the outdoors environment and begins to decay or oxidize. This is caused by exposure to UV- Rays and all types of weather (rain, sleet and snow) which causes the pavement to lose flexibility, become stiffer and the once deep black color turns grey as the binder (black glue) wears away. As the asphalt binder wears away, the stones are exposed allowing water to penetrate the base which will either drain it away (if built thick enough) or it will pool under the pavement causing a possible freeze upheaval when it gets cold enough.
- Benefits of Sealcoating include resistance to sunlight, oil and gas spills, reduces oxidation to a crawl, repel water, the surface will look new again and be easier to clean. If the parking lot is maintained by sealcoating periodically, its lifespan can more than double.
Asphalt/Blacktop road repair
- Road maintenance is more affordable when addressing minor faults than waiting to do it when the total road is in poor condition. When pavement is not repaired, cracks become potholes and potholes become craters. As soon as water finds its way under the pavement the deterioration will speed up until the only repair left is total replacement.
- The land set aside for roads are graded by VA Commercial paving with laser guided transits and automatic levels to ensure that water will run-off correctly. Proper water drainage is important to the long life of the pavement because water is the major cause of premature road repairs.

Experience Matters
Asphalt Paving is NOT a trade that is taught in school but on the job site. It takes time to prefect the craft as any hands-on trade does. We have over 50 years of experience and have to solve upcoming problems that a new paver would not know how to handle. For example, handling proper drainage, considering trees/plants that could be a future issue, improperly mixed asphalt identification. An issue like this could ruin your investment so it's best to prevent the issue in the first place.

What our Clients Say
Here are a few of our past clients
I own a construction company and we regularly sub out work to VA Commercial Paving because they are always reliable and I don't have to check behind them. Any general contractor will let you know that finding the right subs is like pulling teeth (most of the time). I have NEVER had a problem with Jordan and his crews. Always quality work and always a great price. If you are looking for your own sub-contractor for large jobs or want to use them as your main then you can't go wrong.
Our experience with Jordan was flawless. His bid came in several thousand dollars lower than the two other bids that we received for our parking lot (which initially had me worried) but he did a perfect job and knocked it out quickly. Full disclosure here, I now have him as a client (I generate leads for small businesses). He never lets me down. Always takes care of the business I send him and always gets good reviews. I wish I could say that about all my clients!
I'm a general contractor that mostly does roofing work but I refer out Jordan all the time (I don't refer a lot of people because I'm not willing to put my name on the line for just anyone). I ALWAYS get positive feedback from the other contractors I refer him to or any of the owners I refer him to). It makes me feel good knowing that when I refer him because I am 100% confident he is going to do quality work.
