Service types
- New construction paving — full lot installation on a new commercial site, including base prep, drainage, and final paving.
- Mill and overlay — milling 1.5 to 2 inches off the existing wearing course and replacing it with fresh asphalt. Right answer for a tired lot with a sound base.
- Remove and replace — full removal and reconstruction for a lot whose base has failed.
- Sealcoating and striping — restoration of an existing lot's appearance and re-laying of all painted lines, ADA markings, and arrows.
- Pothole and crack maintenance — recurring service contracts for property managers who want a lot kept in working shape without a major project every few years.
- ADA compliance — ramp work, accessible parking marking, and required curb cuts.
How commercial work is scheduled
Most commercial parking lots cannot be fully closed during the work, so jobs are sequenced section by section. The lot is split into zones, each one is closed and worked through in turn, and traffic is rerouted around the active section. Larger projects are often scheduled overnight or across a weekend to minimize impact on tenants and customers. The schedule and the closure plan are part of the written quote — not an afterthought.
Drainage matters more on lots than driveways
A failing driveway is an inconvenience. A parking lot with bad drainage is a slip-and-fall lawsuit. Every commercial estimate includes a drainage walk-through — where water is currently pooling, which drain inlets need to be raised before paving, and whether grade adjustments are needed during the new pour. Birdbaths, ice patches, and unaddressed low spots are not signed off on after the work.
Pricing
Commercial paving in Chester County is priced per square foot and varies more than residential work because the variables matter more — lot size, base condition, drainage scope, traffic loading, schedule constraints, and material spec. Mill-and-overlay jobs typically run $2.50 to $4.50 per square foot. Full reconstruction runs $5 to $10 per square foot. Sealcoating and striping for a typical office or strip-mall lot usually falls between $0.18 and $0.35 per square foot for the seal plus $0.50 to $1.50 per linear foot of striping.
