Common questions
How much does asphalt paving cost per square foot
You need to pave a parking lot or roadway. The quotes you're getting are all over the map. You can't tell if you're looking at fair pricing or getting ripped off.
Asphalt paving cost depends on thickness, base prep, and site access. Commercial jobs typically run $3-7 per square foot depending on these factors. Get detailed quotes that break down materials, base work, and labor separately. The cheapest bid often skips crucial base preparation.
My asphalt is soft and rutting in hot weather
Your asphalt gets soft and squishy when it's hot outside. Trucks and heavy equipment leave ruts and tire marks. The surface feels like it's melting.
Soft asphalt in heat usually means the mix wasn't right for your traffic load or the base wasn't properly compacted. This won't fix itself and gets worse each summer. You need a contractor to assess whether you need a surface overlay with harder mix or full reconstruction.
How long does commercial paving take
You need to repave but can't shut down your business for weeks. You're trying to figure out how long you'll lose parking spaces and how to plan around the work.
Most commercial paving jobs take 2-5 days depending on size and weather. Contractors can often work in sections so you don't lose all parking at once. Plan for 24-48 hours before you can drive on new asphalt.
How long does commercial asphalt paving take
You need to pave your parking lot but can't shut down your business for weeks. You don't know how long the job will take or if you can stay open during construction.
Most commercial paving jobs take 3-7 days depending on size and base work needed. Simple overlays can be done in 1-2 days. Plan for at least 24 hours before allowing traffic on new asphalt. Many contractors can work in phases to keep part of your lot open during construction.
Should I overlay or mill and repave my asphalt
Your asphalt is worn out but the base seems solid. One contractor wants to overlay it. Another says to mill it up and start fresh. You don't know which approach makes sense.
Overlay works if your base is stable and you can handle the extra height at doors and drains. Milling and repaving costs more but fixes underlying problems and maintains proper grades. If you have drainage issues or the existing asphalt is already too high, milling is usually the better choice.
Concrete vs asphalt for commercial property
You're planning new pavement and can't decide between concrete and asphalt. You've heard different things about cost, durability, and maintenance but want the real story.
Concrete costs more upfront but lasts longer with less maintenance. Asphalt is cheaper to install and easier to repair but needs more frequent maintenance. Choice depends on your budget, traffic load, and long-term plans.
Can I pave over my existing asphalt myself
Your asphalt needs work but hiring a contractor seems expensive. You're wondering if you can rent equipment and overlay it yourself or hire just the paving crew.
Asphalt paving requires specialized equipment, proper mix temperatures, and precise compaction timing. DIY paving almost always fails within a year because the material cools too fast or isn't compacted right. The equipment rental and material costs often exceed hiring professionals who guarantee the work.
