Commercial Asphalt Paving & Contractor | Long Island | PaveMaster

Look — if your base is solid, you don’t need to tear everything out. We mill the surface and put down a fresh layer of hot mix. You save money and you get a parking lot that looks and performs like new.

But if the base has failed — and we can tell pretty quickly — an overlay is just putting lipstick on a pig. It’ll fail again in two years. We assess before we recommend. We’re not going to sell you a full replacement if you don’t need one.

Most commercial lots we’re in and out in one to three days. We phase the work so you’re not shutting your whole operation down — we’ll keep part of the lot open while we work the other half.

Big jobs like campus roads or multi-building complexes we stage over several days and you’ll know exactly what’s accessible on what day before we ever show up.

This is where most paving jobs fail — not the asphalt, the prep underneath it. We run our own grading equipment. We don’t hand that off to a sub. Proper grading, proper compaction, right base depth for your traffic load.

If you’re getting trucks in and out every day, that’s a different spec than a light vehicle employee lot. We build it for what you’re actually putting on it.

Yes. Proper grading for drainage is part of every paving job. If you have existing drainage problems — catch basins, pooling, runoff — we address those before paving, not after.

Standard commercial parking lots get two lifts — a base course and a surface course. How thick depends on what you’re running over it. A shopping center lot with delivery trucks is different from an office park with passenger cars.

We spec the right thickness for your actual use. Anyone giving you a one-size-fits-all answer on asphalt depth isn’t paying attention to your job.
