Parking lot repair of potholes, cracks, depressions…
- The most cost-effective solution to deterioration of a parking lot, in order to maximize pavement life, is to act as soon as the pavement shows signs of wear such as, raveling, transverse cracks, longitudinal cracks, or minor block cracking. Cracks can be sealed, potholes can be filled, and sealcoating the lot will protect it from the oxidation effects from the sun.
- When you call us for a free estimate, we will inspect the ailing parking lot on-site, explain why the surface is deteriorating and write up a proposal to repair it.
New parking lot installation- its design and build
- There are several considerations that determine Parking Lot Design and Construction Cost:
- Permits: Your parking lot must be constructed in compliance with all local, state, and federal codes before construction can even begin.
- Parking Lot special needs, such as a drive through for a Bank or extra speed bumps for a school.
- Excavation and Site Preparation: Land clearing and tree removal. Soil conditions and drainage issues will have to be address.
- Layout and Design should consider not only the number of parking spots but the safety of pedestrians and drivers making sure the lot is functional and safe for all including delivery trucks and emergency vehicles.
- Sign Installation: Signs to control the flow of traffic, such as stop signs, yield signs….
- Safety and security, such as Lighting, surveillance camera installation, and perhaps barrier gates.
- Beautification: Curbing and Landscaping- planting shrubs in islands and/or using parking bumpers.
- Striping, Painting and Marking extras, such as fire lanes, accessible spaces, loading zones, and crosswalks.
- Experienced paving companies will be helpful while working through government regulations.
Resurfacing or Renewal
- Asphalt Resurfacing, or overlay, is a way of repairing existing asphalt by paving overtop of it. There are certain preparations for constructing an overlay, which include milling, or shaving, the original pavement into a more even surface to help match the existing landscaping around it. Areas that are in very poor condition must be removed and patched. The pavement is cleaned, an adhesive is laid down, and then the new asphalt can be applied in layers.
- Overlaying is less expensive than fully reconstructing a paved surface, and typically takes less time, making it a great option when considering major asphalt repairs. This is more appealing for a large parking lot as it is less costly to resurface a large area then to replace it. However, the areas that now puddle will again puddle since in most cases, the grade cannot be alter by just paving an overlay. Also, any problems with the sub base will still be there so any cracking in the existing asphalt will come back up through the overlay- this is called “reflective cracking”.
- Life expectancy for an overlay or resurfaced parking lot is 8-10 years if properly maintained.
Pavement markings and signage
- Pavement markings and signage directs flow of traffic safely through the parking lot and to provide direction for pedestrians to walk in relative safety and security to the building. Some of these are:
- Striping for parking slots, painting and marking fire lanes, accessible spaces, loading zones, and crosswalks. Sign Installation: Signs to direct the flow of traffic, such as stop signs, yield signs and many others.
- 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 and easy to understand- an experienced commercial paving company will be able to offer sound advice.
Grading
- Surface water causes most weather-related harm to asphalt. Once water seeps through the asphalt, it begins to take its toll on the pavement base. Water penetrating through the pavement surface can cause major potholes and can substantially damage the base layer. Once the base course is damaged, the pavement’s ability to carry traffic load decreases, and the likelihood of future cracks and potholes increases. Needless to say, this can be very costly because once you have structural damage, repaving becomes the only way to permanently fix the issue. To help avoid the need for major repairs, grading must be done to install a proper drainage system.
- VA Commercial Paving has an expert crew to handle the project’s site preparation (land clearing and tree removal). Crew leaders often check progress of the team to safeguard against errors.
Sealcoating for maintenance
- Oxidation of the Asphalt starts as soon as laid down, and over time will cause Asphalt to become brittle which is noted by the changing of its color from deep black to grey. The rate of Oxidation depends on exposure, sunny areas will oxidize quicker. Oxidation over time will stiffen the Asphalt, reducing its load bearing capability, resulting in many cracks. Once the Asphalt has stiffened considerably the rate of oxidation quickens to the point of complete failure. Maintenance of seal coating the Asphalt every 2 years from installation will greatly reduce the rate of Oxidation by as much as 75% giving a life span of 20 to 30 years.
- There are many types of sealants available to protect asphalt parking lots and some are designed to work better under certain conditions. When a VA Commercial Paving Inspector evaluates a parking lot, they will know which asphalt sealcoat to suggest.
Asphalt/Blacktop road repair
- VA Commercial Paving services covers most aspects of building new roadways- including regular maintenance for pothole repair or crack sealing. We pay attention to all requirements needed for a strong trouble-free asphalt road. We start with expert grading or excavation- a very important consideration to the longevity of your new road, and one of the most ill handled aspects of Asphalt pavement installations.
- Low bids from a paving contractor may indicate intentions of skimping on the base preparations. For example, when a contractor inspects the base soil (check with them) and finds clay type soil be aware this needs a thicker compacted subbase then what needs to goes over well-drained sandy soil.
- Be sure to ask each contractor, as they figure cost estimates, to quote only compacted inches for each layer of substrate for the road- only then will you get a true basis for comparison.
- Our experience and commitment to offer our customers the highest quality of workmanship at the lowest price point has kept us in thriving in business these last decades.

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 VA commercial roofers 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.
