Our Commercial Asphalt Paving Services
Pro-Pave Inc. offers a wide range of commercial asphalt paving services tailored to meet the diverse needs of the commercial industries and surfaces we serve.
As the leading asphalt contractor serving Northern Virginia and the D.C. Metro area, our parking lot maintenance, asphalt repairs, resurfacing, and surface expansion or replacements are designed for lifetime durability, safety, and customer appeal.
Overlay & Resurfacing
Asphalt surfaces are made up of multiple layers of crushed rock, gravel, and sand that bind together to create a solid foundation for their durable surface. The top layer, or overlay, is constructed with a hot mix asphalt laid over the other layers.
Pro-Pave Inc. provides expert asphalt overlay services for new surface installations or repairs to aging or worn pavement for enhanced durability. Our overlay services involve removing only the top layer of asphalt and installing a new top layer, making it an excellent option for commercial property owners seeking a cost-effective resurfacing solution.
Expansion & New Paving
Looking to expand your existing lot, roadway, or walkway to meet growing property demands? Pro-Pave Inc. completes expert pavement expansions and new installations.
Our knowledgeable team has the tools and experience to create a custom project plan to fit your property dimensions and your vision. Using high-quality, durable materials and advanced paving techniques, our asphalt paving contractor paves everything from parking lots and roadways to special expansion and addition projects.
We’ll give you a long-lasting surface that exceeds your traffic and weather demands for years to come.
Reclamation & Repaving
If your pavement deterioration requires more than a resurfacing, trust our reclamation and repaving solutions to restore safety and surface integrity.
Our asphalt reclamation service is a sustainable replacement solution. Full-depth reclamation (FDR) involves pulverizing all layers of existing asphalt pavement in place to depths of up to 20 inches, creating a homogeneous base for a new, thinner asphalt surface.
Reclamation and repaving have grown in popularity due to advancements in equipment and increased recycling efforts. FDR is ideal for high-severity distressed or failed pavements where maintenance or mill and overlay aren’t sufficient
Asphalt repaving, on the other hand, is a complete replacement of the entire pavement structure. Our skilled contractors will carefully remove old pavement and replace it from its foundation up, at every layer. This is your best option for damage that goes beneath the pavement surface.
Why an Area Might Need Repaving
Our work crews conduct a core test on every pavement to determine the condition of the subgrade. The greater the damage to your paved surface, the more likely a replacement will be necessary. Here’s why you should consider repaving your surface.
- You want to enhance the aesthetics of your pavement
- You want to fix drainage issues once and for all
- You want to make your property more valuable to potential buyers
- You want to maintain a safe and secure environment
Our Asphalt Paving Process
We follow the same five-step process for all repaving jobs.
Assess & Prepare The Pavement
Our asphalt paving contractors evaluate the existing pavement, apply a fresh layer, and perform any other initial steps.
Install Drainage
We install catch basins and use advanced tools to create a functioning drainage system that will prolong the life of your new pavement.
Asphalt Application
We apply the new asphalt.
Roll & Compact the Asphalt
We roll and compact the fresh asphalt to ensure an even surface.
Final Touches
Our asphalt paving contractors apply stripings, install signs, speed bumps, bollards, and perform any other finishing touches for the best result.
What Causes Asphalt Deterioration?
The condition of your pavement depends largely on the condition of the subgrade beneath it. If the subgrade is too thin or sustains damage, for example, it will deteriorate prematurely. Other factors that contribute to asphalt deterioration include:
- Concerns about weight and the load-bearing capacity of traffic
- Inadequate water drainage systems
- Oil and gas stains
- Poor routine maintenance
- Sudden weather fluctuations
How to Ensure Asphalt Longevity
Routine preventative maintenance is the best way to maximize your asphalt’s lifespan and delay the need for repairs and a replacement. Our proven maintenance services protect your pavement from damage, prevent deterioration, and enhance its overall functionality.
Asphalt Paving Frequently Asked Questions
Asphalt paving is a durable paving material commonly used for commercial parking lots and roadways. It involves laying a mixture of aggregates, such as gravel, sand, and crushed rock, combined with liquid asphalt to achieve a strong, smooth surface.
Asphalt surfaces generally last 15 to 20 years with proper installation and routine maintenance.
Depending on the size of the surface and weather conditions, newly paved asphalt surfaces typically require a few hours before they’re ready for pedestrian traffic and, in some cases, up to 24 hours for vehicle traffic.
Asphalt resurfacing is best for surface-level damage, as it involves only applying a new top layer. Repaving targets damage underneath the surface layer by completely removing and replacing the entire pavement structure.
Yes, asphalt is one of the most recyclable construction materials. It commonly reuses old pavement in new resurfacing projects, eliminating the waste of new materials and reducing environmental impact.
Routine maintenance, such as sealcoating every 2 to 3 years, consistent cleaning, and timely repairs for cracks and potholes, will significantly extend the lifespan of your asphalt surface.
Yes, Pro-Pave Inc. provides a range of asphalt repair services, including crack filling, pothole patching, and full resurfacing, depending on the extent of the damage.
