Our asphalt paving contractors also provide asphalt overlay for when your parking lot needs a little more than a routine repair.

The Repair Process
Because your parking lot is important to the everyday workings of your business, we understand that you want the repair process to go smoothly and without delay. To make sure your project stays on track, our team will work with you to coordinate the details from start to finish.
Our standard overlay process is as follows:
- One of our team members will visit the location with the property manager owner to walk through the site and discuss priorities based on your budget. For existing clients, we’ll meet with you once a year to do a walk-through.
- After evaluating the property, we’ll put together a scope of work and present our proposal.
- When you’re ready to proceed, the schedule will be coordinated with you.
- The day of repairs, your parking lot will be prepared through cleaning and debris removal, if needed.
- We’ll apply a primer coat so that old and new asphalt can adhere and then lay the new asphalt surface on top.
- By the evening of the same day, a subcontractor or other company is able to paint the lot as desired.
