Commercial Paving Contractor
- 3 generations of American asphalt pavers built this company. All the decades of labor building roads and parking lots spotlights our company’s commitment to community, hard work and ethical business practices. Our clients can expect us to follow specific protocols developed by the asphalt industry and all government and city regulations to provide long lasting pavement repairs or new builds. We don’t take short cuts to move the paving process schedule ahead faster and easier- faster and easier seldom means adequate or better.
We can handle large and small jobs alike
Commercial Paving Company
- VA Commercial Paving asphalt services offered to Commercial/Industrial or businesses clients are: Design layout for parking lots or roads, grading for water runoff, repairs (patching cracks and potholes), resurfacing and maintenance (application of a protective seal coat), paving large or small parking lots, pavement marking, security options and new roadways for subdivisions or apartment complexes.
- You will not find another roofer that will replace your roof, the way the manufacturer expects, cheaper than we will. Our estimates cover quality underlayment, new flashings, new drip edge and proper number of nails placed in each shingle (some roofers save money by using less nails than they should). Cutting corners during roofing installation and hiring unskilled day labor is how some roofers claim a bigger paycheck. Replacing a roof way before its expected lifespan is the most expensive roof you'll ever buy.

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 cracks, potholes and depressions. Cracks can be sealed, potholes can be filled, and sealcoating the lot will protect it from the oxidation effects from the sun.
- 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.
New parking lot installation- its design and build
- Asphalt parking lot pavement is an engineered mixture typically composed of 5% asphalt/bitumen cement (a petroleum product) and 95% aggregates (stone, sand, and gravel). Due to its highly viscous nature, asphalt/bitumen cement must be heated to about 300*F to liquefy so it can be mixed with the aggregates at the asphalt mixing facility. While the mixture is still hot, it is delivered to your property and placed atop a prepared base or subgrade. This is but one aspect of correct parking lot installation but all steps from grading to compacting each asphalt layer must be done correctly for the long life and proper functioning of the parking lot.
- Consultations with local experienced asphalt pavers will help take the 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
- Asphalt Resurfacing, or overlay, is a way of repairing existing asphalt by paving a new asphalt layer on-top of it. There are certain first steps constructing an overlay, which include milling, or shaving, the original pavement into a more even surface to help match the existing ground around it. Areas that are in very poor condition must be removed, subbase repaired 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 over a large parking lot. This is appealing for a large parking lot as it is less costly to resurface a large area then to replace it. Life expectancy for an overlay or resurfaced parking lot is 8-10 years if properly maintained.
Pavement markings and signage
- We offer line striping services using the best striping equipment and quality paint available that allows us to complete the project promptly following all commercial and municipal striping requirements.
- Parking Lot striping allows users to safely park and walk into their destination. It directs traffic to correct entrances and exits, areas to park, truck lanes and loading zones, crosswalks and drive aisles wide enough to accommodate the safe interaction of moving cars and pedestrians.
- There are many unique requests that require signage to modify behavior in a parking lot, such as handicap parking, women with children, larger trucks- 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
- If a paving company comes to the project site and slowly drives a truck over the projects boundary, get another company because the inspection is just too important to leave to a limited evaluation. The project manager of the paving company should be a senior member of the company, and they should get out of the truck and walk the site. Walking the site will give an experience paver an understanding of any drainage issues, stability of the soil and how much grading will be necessary. Grading is the foundation of the parking lot and affects greatly the stability and long life of the pavement.
Sealcoating for maintenance
- Asphalt sealcoating fills minor surface imperfections, protects the pavement from exposure to oxygen and UV-rays and reduces the ability of car leaks of oil and gas from dissolving the asphalt. Sealcoating acts as a waterproofing agent, slowing down the rate of its infiltration into the pavement.
Asphalt/Blacktop road repair
- Several benefits come with asphalt roads compared to other, more costly options:
- It is strong and durable.
- It is a smooth, continuous surface that moves cars to roll across quietly.
- It is engineered to withstand freezing and thawing.
- No need to worry about salting asphalt roads in winter. Asphalt is unaffected by salt.
- Unlike other, more rigid materials, such as concrete, asphalt pavements are designed to flex and "give" with slight settlements or frost heave.
- Asphalt can be readily repaired if a utility line or pipe must pass under the roadway or should an unforeseen ground settlement take place.
- Asphalt is the most cost-effective option you can choose.
- Asphalt pavement can last many years — with only minimal maintenance.
- Experienced asphalt pavers, during the road inspection, can figure out problems very quickly and then explain 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.

We are licensed, bonded and insured in the state of VA. Being licensed requires the passing of one or more tests, proof of formal training or so many years of on-the-job experience. The tests mostly cover safety requirements, and constructions laws. Being Bonded requires the company to have secured funds, in case of a lawsuit, to pay for damages that have been ordered by a court of law. Being insured requires a worker who is injured on the job must apply to the paving company for compensation not a commercial owner's insurance.

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.
