Hear From Our Clients
Your customers pull into a smooth, professional-looking parking lot that reflects well on your business. No more apologizing for potholes or worrying about liability issues from cracked pavement.
The surface drains properly during heavy rains, preventing water damage to your foundation or flooding in low areas. You won’t be calling for emergency repairs every few months because the job was done right the first time.
Your maintenance costs drop significantly. Quality materials and proper installation techniques mean fewer crack repairs, less frequent sealcoating, and a parking lot that looks professional for years.
We’ve been handling paving, excavation, and foundation work across Chester and the surrounding region for over 25 years. You work directly with the owner from your first call through project completion.
We know Chester’s soil conditions, drainage requirements, and local codes. This isn’t our first parking lot in the area, and we understand what works long-term in this climate.
The same crew that starts your job finishes it. No subcontractors, no communication gaps, no excuses when something needs to be fixed.
We start with a site visit to assess drainage, soil conditions, and traffic patterns. You get a detailed written estimate that covers materials, labor, timeline, and any potential complications we can see upfront.
Excavation comes first—removing old pavement, grading for proper drainage, and compacting the base. This foundation work determines how long your parking lot lasts, so we don’t cut corners here.
Fresh asphalt goes down in layers, compacted properly while it’s still hot. We handle line striping, handicap spaces, and any concrete work for curbs or sidewalks. The site gets cleaned up completely before we consider the job done.

Your parking lot paving project includes proper excavation, base preparation, asphalt installation, and line striping. We handle permits and coordinate with local inspectors to ensure everything meets Chester’s requirements.
Drainage solutions are built into every project. Chester’s clay soils and seasonal weather patterns require specific grading and drainage techniques to prevent water damage and frost heaving.
We source materials from local suppliers we’ve worked with for decades. The asphalt mix is designed for commercial traffic loads and Northeast weather conditions. Your project includes a detailed scope of work and timeline you can count on.
Most parking lot paving projects take 3-5 days depending on size and weather conditions. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two focuses on grading and compacting the foundation.
Asphalt installation usually happens on day three when conditions are right. We need dry weather and temperatures above 50 degrees for proper curing. Line striping and final details happen on the last day.
Weather delays can extend the timeline, but we communicate any changes immediately. You’ll know exactly where things stand throughout the process.
Restoration works when your existing pavement has surface issues but the foundation is still solid. This might involve crack filling, patching problem areas, and applying a new surface layer.
Complete replacement becomes necessary when the base has failed, causing widespread cracking or settling. We remove everything down to the soil and rebuild from scratch.
During our site assessment, we’ll tell you honestly which approach makes sense for your situation and budget. Sometimes partial restoration buys you several more years, other times replacement is the only solution that won’t have you calling for repairs constantly.
Chester’s clay soils don’t drain naturally, so we build proper drainage into every parking lot from the start. This typically involves specific grading slopes and sometimes subsurface drainage systems.
We install catch basins and drainage pipes where needed to direct water away from the pavement and your building foundation. The base material selection also matters—we use graded stone that allows water to move through rather than sitting under the asphalt.
Poor drainage is the number one cause of premature parking lot failure in this area. We’ve seen too many parking lots fail within a few years because drainage wasn’t addressed properly during installation.
Yes, we schedule major work during your slowest periods when possible. Many commercial projects happen on weekends or during off-season periods when customer traffic is lighter.
For businesses that can’t shut down completely, we often work in phases. We might pave half the lot one weekend and the other half the following weekend, keeping some parking available throughout.
Emergency repairs obviously can’t wait, but for planned projects we work with your schedule. The key is planning ahead and communicating your business needs during our initial consultation.
We guarantee our workmanship and materials for the first year after completion. This covers any issues related to improper installation, base failure, or material defects.
Normal wear from traffic and weather isn’t covered, but structural problems that develop from installation issues are our responsibility to fix. We’ve been in business over 25 years because we stand behind our work.
Most parking lot problems that develop in the first year indicate installation issues. Quality materials properly installed should give you many years of service without major problems.
Parking lot paving typically costs $3-6 per square foot depending on the scope of work, site conditions, and current asphalt prices. Simple overlay projects cost less than complete reconstruction.
Factors that affect pricing include excavation depth needed, drainage requirements, accessibility for equipment, and any concrete work for curbs or sidewalks. Sites with poor drainage or difficult access cost more.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges when the work is complete.
