Commercial Paving Contractor
- Our Company was started by a 3rd generation blacktop/asphalt paver that grew up in the trade. First learning from and then following in his forefather’s steps through decades of labor in building, repairing or resurfacing asphalt roads and parking lots. 3 generations, consecutively, working in the paving business proves commitment to community, hard work, and ethical business practices.
- VA Commercial Paving does not take short cuts to move the project ahead faster and easier- faster and easier seldom means adequate or better. Giving us a bigger paycheck by buying the cheapest grade of asphalt mix, careless quick grading, cheating on the gravel base depth or laying thinner asphalt layers is not our way. We follow specific protocols that the industry has developed to obtain the longest lasting and lowest maintenance of asphalt roads and parking lots. Of course, we also follow, exactly, all government and city regulations.
- We are a local, experienced and affordable commercial paving contracting team that is eager to gain your trust by sending superior consultants to evaluate the repair, resurfacing or new build of any asphalt pavement project. Our advice is free and gladly given.
We can handle large and small jobs alike
Commercial Paving Company
- Industrial parks, apartment, medical parks, school and universities, HOA communities, businesses, roads, malls/strip malls and churches at some point will need the services of a commercial paving company to either repair, resurface or build anew roads or parking lots. Recruiting someone experienced in asphalt paving will help the project progress rapidly without errors or time delays.
- Asphalt pavement’s functional role to a commercial enterprise is critical to moving the motoring public quickly and safely to a parking slot and then providing relative safe pedestrian crossings in and out of their buildings. The overall impression of clients using a derelict damaged parking lot is an unwelcome, and possibly unsafe, experience. Most consumers will move on to your competitor down the road to avoid bottoming out their cars in your parking lot craters or risking a fall trying to walk on broken asphalt.

Parking Lot Paving Companies
- The first impression of a commercial enterprise is viewed through its gateway (the parking lot). The motoring public expects the commercial parking lot to provide an easy to follow path to parking slots, no obstructive views, smooth even pavement, clean, dry- no puddles and safety equipment, such as lights and cameras. If users feel unsafe in a parking lot, they’ll move on to a business competitor that has a safe one (especially women- who do the majority of shopping).
- Our reputation is under scrutiny each time we build or repair a parking lot so it’s important that our clients are given every consideration along with excellent workmanship. Keeping clients informed displays our respect, generates goodwill and takes little effort on our part.

New parking lot installation- its design and build
- Ill-conceived are parking lots that don’t move traffic well, such as: parking lanes abruptly ending without a way to turn around, entrance from the busiest side street and hampered by turning vehicles, awkward empty spaces not marked that end up as made-up parking spots, light poles or signs sharing marked parking space, and confusing pavement markings. We have all driven in such parking lots and afterwards tend to avoid them. 20% of all personal injury claims have their beginnings in a parking lot.
- Consultations with successful and experienced asphalt pavers will help turn the theoretically designed parking lot into a practical positive experience that will help motorists safely find unoccupied parking spaces, retrieve their vehicles, and exit swiftly.
Resurfacing or Renewal
- Resurfacing an Asphalt parking lot, road or driveway is a more attractive financial option for those property owners or homeowners on a tight budget when total replacement is not needed yet crack repairs are too numerous to be attempted. Basically, resurfacing is replacing the top layers of the old parking lot asphalt with 1 or 2 layers of 2-inch-deep new asphalt. The top layer of the old crumbling pavement will be milled off and sent to be recycled at the asphalt plant.
- Renewal of Asphalt roads, parking lot, and driveways through resurfacing or overlaying will extend its functional life and renew its beauty.
Pavement markings and signage
- Pavement markings and signage allows for directional flow of traffic safely through the parking lot and to provide direction for the public to walk in relative safety 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 control 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 get it done right the first time.
Grading
- Parking lots are a large landscape of flat pavement that naturally, during a hard rain, shed a lot of water which must be guided away from the pavement to a drainage field or sewer. It is important to send the water to proper drainage rather than letting it gather under the subgrade soil of the parking lot or flooding neighboring stores or homes. When water infiltrates the subbase of a parking lot, the pavement weakens to eventually cause a pothole. Drainage problems are a major cause of premature parking lot failures.
- 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
- Periodic sealcoating protects the pavement from the ravages of sun, wind, and rain which ages the pavement to a light grey color. Sealcoating parking lots will reduce the rate of erosion down to a crawl which will double the lifespan of the lot. Warning! Once asphalt pavement has oxidized (lost its flexibility) it can’t be totally restored by sealcoatings.
- 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
- Asphalt road repairs require inspection before committing to a specific type of fix. Although many types of damage asphalt pavement have their respective repairs, the pavement’s system that comprises road, parking lot or driveway is a sum of its parts and each need to be examined to understand the root cause of the failure:
- Does the grading of the immediate and surrounding area direct the storm water away from slipping under the pavement?
- Was the road, parking lot or driveway designed correctly for the type of traffic it needs to carry?
- Experienced asphalt pavers, during the road inspection, will probably figure out what’s wrong in a heartbeat and then explain the problem and possible solutions to the client. We always suggest the least expensive fix first and after explaining its pros and cons then we move on to more expensive fixes. Our goal is to apprise you of all repair options available then let you decide your best solution while staying available for further questions. Please, give us an opportunity to explain how we can fix your ailing road by contacting us for a free inspection and consultation.

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.
