When commercial paving makes sense.
Commercial asphalt paving may be the right path when a parking lot has broad surface deterioration, recurring patch failures, worn drive lanes, poor ride quality, aged pavement, or a capital plan that needs a longer service-life repair than sealcoat or spot patching can provide.
Ryan can help you sort out whether the site needs an overlay, mill-and-fill, full-depth repair areas, phased replacement, or a smaller repair and maintenance plan.
What gets missed in paving scopes.
- Base repair quantities and unit prices
- Milling limits, tie-ins, curb reveal, and doorway transitions
- Drainage flow after new asphalt is installed
- ADA stall, access aisle, and route impacts
- Traffic control, phasing, tenant access, and working hours
- Striping layout, fire lanes, arrows, stop bars, and signage
- Warranty exclusions and who owns hidden-condition changes
Before comparing paving bids.
Do not compare three prices until you know whether the contractors are pricing the same work. One bid may include milling and base repair. Another may assume a thin overlay. Another may exclude drainage or ADA coordination entirely.
Use the Three-Bid Decoder or send Ryan the proposal before you sign. The cheapest bid is rarely the cheapest outcome when the scope is thin.
