Commercial Asphalt Paving in Connecticut
New asphalt installation, overlay resurfacing, and full pavement reconstruction. Commercial, industrial, and municipal projects sized to actual traffic loads and built for 15-25+ years of life.
Paving Services We Provide
We size the right approach for each property — sometimes that's an overlay, sometimes it's a full reconstruction, sometimes it's phased work over multiple years. No one-size-fits-all recommendations.
New Construction Paving
Full ground-up paving including excavation, subgrade preparation, base course, binder course, and finish surface course. Drainage planning built in.
Overlay / Resurfacing
When the existing base is sound but the surface is failing, an overlay adds new asphalt on top. Extends pavement life 10-15 years at a fraction of replacement cost.
Full-Depth Reconstruction
When the base has failed, we remove down to subgrade, re-stabilize, and rebuild the full pavement section. The right call when an overlay would just fail again.
Mill & Pave
Grind off the top 1.5-2 inches of failing surface and pave a new top course in its place. Faster than full reconstruction, more durable than a simple overlay.
Parking Lot Expansion
Adding new asphalt to existing lots — additional stalls, drive lane extensions, new pad sites. Joints between old and new are critical; we prep and seal them to prevent reflective cracking.
Municipal & Roadway Paving
Municipal road paving, school and hospital campus drives, and other public-sector projects. DOT-certified, bonded, and pre-qualified for state and local agency work.
How a Paving Project Runs
Site evaluation
We walk the property, evaluate the existing pavement condition, base, drainage, and expected traffic loads. Identify what needs rebuilding vs. resurfacing.
Design & quote
We size the pavement section to your actual traffic, plan drainage, and provide a detailed quote with materials, thickness, and timeline.
Excavation & base
Remove existing failed material, re-grade as needed, install and compact aggregate base in lifts. Drainage adjustments where required.
Paving & finish
Pave binder and surface courses with proper compaction. Followed by joint sealing, sealcoat if specified, and striping.
Paving FAQs
How long does new asphalt last?
Properly installed asphalt pavement lasts 15-25+ years with regular maintenance — crack sealing every year or two, sealcoat every 2-3 years, and occasional patching as the surface ages. Without that maintenance, life drops to 10-15 years.
How long until we can drive on new asphalt?
New asphalt is typically ready for vehicle traffic after 24-48 hours. Heavy traffic should wait 72 hours. Hot weather extends the cure time slightly because the asphalt stays soft longer.
Do you handle the full job — excavation, base, paving, striping?
Yes. We handle the full scope of work from excavation and base prep through finish paving, sealcoat, and striping. For complex sites we coordinate with civil engineers and sub-trades (drainage, electrical for lot lighting, concrete work) as needed.
Can you resurface (overlay) instead of full replacement?
Yes — if the base is still structurally sound, an asphalt overlay can extend pavement life 10-15 years at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. We evaluate the existing lot to confirm an overlay is appropriate before recommending it.
How is base preparation different for heavy-traffic vs. light-traffic lots?
Heavy-traffic lots (warehouse, logistics, truck staging) need a deeper, more compacted base and thicker asphalt section to handle the loads. Light-traffic lots (office, retail, residential) can use a lighter section. We size each project based on actual expected traffic.
Do you handle municipal and DOT projects?
Yes — we are DOT-certified and bonded, with experience on municipal pavement contracts. We can provide the prequalification documentation for state and local agency bidding.
