With over 80 years of commercial and industrial paving expertise, we understand that a well-maintained parking lot is not just an entrance—it’s a reflection of your business’s professionalism.
Best Time of Year For Parking Lot Repairs
Timing is a crucial factor when it comes to parking lot repairs. In order to minimize disruptions to the business, try to find a time during off-peak seasons (weather permitting) to schedule any large-scale repairs or a full parking lot replacement. Typically, the spring is the best time of year to get estimates and complete bigger projects, as it allows the snow to melt and takes into account any damage that occurred during the snowy season.
Repairing Parking Lots in Spring
After the harsh winter, temperatures begin to rise and the snow melts away, creating an ideal environment for asphalt repairs. Spring’s moderate climate helps repair materials cure properly, ensuring a durable fix for cracks, potholes, and other surface issues. This season is perfect for addressing any winter-induced damage and preparing your parking lot for the busy months ahead.
Off-Season Parking Lot Maintenance
Scheduling repairs during your business’s off-season is another smart strategy. With less traffic and reduced operational demands, off-season maintenance minimizes disruptions and allows our team to work efficiently. This approach ensures that your parking lot is fully operational when customer activity picks up again, all while reducing the impact on your day-to-day business.
Why Should You Repair Your Parking Lot?
Repairing your parking lot is essential for several reasons, including safety, aesthetics, cost savings, and longevity.
Our Parking Lot Repair Services
We offer various pavement repair options. Each of these solutions have their own pros and cons. By speaking with you about your unique situation, we can provide a solution tailored to your specific needs.
Crack Sealing
This simple surface-level fix prevents water penetration and slows asphalt deterioration by filling smaller cracks before they spread. This maintenance method is typically used for smaller cracks, between ¼" to 1" in width.
Pothole Repair
We can eliminate potholes by cutting out the broken pavement and replacing it with new asphalt. Pothole repair prevents damage to vehicles and pedestrian accidents near your business or commercial building.
Surface Patching
If your damage is localized to the surface of the asphalt in a particular area, surface patching (or skin patching) can be an effective option to continue using the area until the entire lot can be resurfaced.
Milling & Overlay
When the stone subbase is still stable, but the asphalt surface is deteriorating, a Mill & Overlay is the best reconstruction technique. An asphalt milling machine removes top layer of deteriorated asphalt, so a new surface course can be installed.
Parking Lot Replacement
If your parking lot has widespread damage, deep cracks, or subbase failure, we can offer several solutions that will reconstruct your pavement areas.
Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR)
The old pavement, including a portion of the subbase, is pulverized and stabilized. The FDR process eliminates concerns of reflective cracking and is a cost-effective option for parking lots and roads with severe structural failure.
Remove and Replace
This solution involves digging out the old asphalt and unsuitable base. The material is hauled off-site and new aggregate is trucked in. Once the new subbase is properly compacted, new asphalt layers can be installed, creating a completely new surface.
Drainage System Improvements
Water that permeates pavement layers and stone subbase is a parking lot's worst enemy! Effective drainage directs water away from the pavement structure, preventing it from weakening the subgrade and causing damage.

Our process starts with a thorough evaluation of your current parking lot conditions. We assess factors such as pavement wear, drainage, and overall structural integrity to identify both immediate repair needs and potential long-term improvements.
