About Our Commercial Paving Service

Commercial concrete and asphalt projects require more than materials and labor — they require structured execution, phased scheduling, and clear coordination with property managers, tenants, and municipal inspectors.

From initial engineering through final striping and signage, we manage the entire process so you have a single point of accountability.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about commercial paving in South Florida, answered by our team.

How much does commercial parking lot paving cost?

Commercial parking lot paving in South Florida ranges from $4–12 per square foot depending on material and size. Asphalt averages $4–7/sf, concrete $8–15/sf. A typical 25,000 sf retail parking lot runs $125,000–$200,000 for full reconstruction including base prep, paving, striping, and ADA compliance.

How long does commercial paving take?

Most commercial paving projects take 2–4 weeks from start to finish. Large projects (100,000+ sf) may take 6–8 weeks and are phased to allow operations to continue. Design and permitting can add 4–8 weeks before construction begins, depending on the municipality.

Can you pave my parking lot while we stay open?

Yes. Our phased scheduling approach paves sections in sequence while keeping the majority of the lot available for customers and staff. Typical phasing: 30% of lot closed at a time, work completed on nights/weekends, each phase curing before opening. Coordination with property management is essential.

What's the difference between mill-and-overlay vs full replacement?

Mill-and-overlay removes the top 1.5–2" of existing asphalt and replaces it with fresh hot mix. Cost is 40–50% of full replacement ($3–5/sf vs $6–10/sf), installation is 50% faster, and the overlay lasts 10–15 years. Full replacement is necessary when the base has failed, drainage is inadequate, or you need to change the layout.

Do I need engineered drawings for my parking lot?

Yes for new construction and major modifications. Florida building codes require engineered drainage calculations for any impervious surface over 5,000 sf. Resurfacing doesn't require new engineering if footprint stays the same. We provide engineered site plans and coordinate with your MEP engineer as needed.

What ADA requirements apply to my parking lot?

Florida requires 1 accessible parking stall per 25 standard stalls (minimum 1). Van-accessible stalls (1 per 6 accessible) need 96" access aisles. Accessible routes from parking to building entry must have maximum 1:12 slope with handrails on ramps. We handle all ADA compliance documentation and markings.

How often should I sealcoat my commercial parking lot?

Every 3–5 years. Sealcoating at $0.15–0.25/sf ($3,750–6,250 for a 25,000 sf lot) extends surface life by 40–60% and maintains curb appeal. Skipping sealcoating leads to UV damage, oxidation, and accelerated cracking within 8–10 years instead of 15–20 with proper maintenance.

Can concrete work better than asphalt for my parking lot?

Concrete costs 2x more upfront ($8–15/sf vs $4–7/sf) but lasts 2–3x longer (30–40 years vs 15–20). Concrete works best for heavy truck traffic, loading docks, and areas with stationary heavy equipment. Asphalt is better for high-volume cars, frequent layout changes, and budget-constrained projects.
