Why We Don’t Publish Generic Pricing

You’ll find plenty of paving websites quoting prices “per square foot.” We don’t, because every commercial paving project is too different for a published number to be honest. The same 50,000 sq ft lot can need three completely different scopes — a sealcoat refresh, a mill-and-overlay, or full-depth reconstruction — depending on what’s actually under the surface. Quoting one price for “parking lot paving” without seeing your property would either over-charge you for the easy job or under-deliver on the hard one. Neither is fair.

What we do instead: walk your lot, measure it, document the existing conditions, and write you a real, itemized scope of work. That’s the only honest way to price a commercial paving project — and it’s free.

What’s Included in Every Estimate

  • On-site walk-through. A real estimator on your property, on your schedule.
  • Measurements & photos. Documented lot dimensions and existing-condition photo log.
  • Written scope of work. Exactly what we’ll do, in what order, with what materials.
  • Materials specification. Asphalt mix design, base aggregate, sealer type, paint or thermoplastic — every spec on the page.
  • Schedule. Mobilization, work, cure, and re-open dates.
  • Itemized line-item pricing. Not “lump sum.” You see exactly what each component of the project costs.
  • Warranty terms. The written workmanship warranty that comes with the project.
  • Insurance certificates. Available before mobilization, on request.

Our Free Estimate Process

  1. Request. Call (630) 555-PAVE or submit the online form. Tell us the property address and roughly what you’re thinking — full repair, maintenance, new construction, or “I’m not sure, please tell me.”
  2. Schedule. Most on-site estimate within 48 hours. We work around your operating hours and tenant access requirements.
  3. Walk. An estimator visits the property, measures, photographs, notes existing conditions, drainage, sub-grade indicators, and access constraints. Typically 30–60 minutes on-site.
  4. Quote. you receive a written, itemized estimate by email — including scope, specs, schedule, and warranty.
  5. Discuss. Questions are welcome. We routinely walk property managers, HOA boards, and facility directors through the scope line by line.
  6. Decide. When you’re ready, we sign and schedule. No high-pressure sales calls between estimate and decision.

What We Need From You to Estimate

  • Property address (or APN if non-standard)
  • A point of contact for the site walk
  • Operating hours and any tenant access constraints
  • Any prior bids or scope documents (helpful, not required)
  • Any specific concerns — drainage issues, recurring potholes, ADA gaps, snow-plow damage

What Drives Project Scope (and Therefore Cost)

Even though we don’t publish numbers, we’ll tell you what changes them. Project scope and price are driven by:

  • Lot size — larger lots benefit from mobilization economies of scale
  • Base condition — sound base allows resurfacing; failed base requires reconstruction
  • Asphalt thickness specified — light-duty vs. heavy-duty mixes serve different traffic loads
  • Excavation requirements — sub-grade work, soil stabilization, geotextile
  • Drainage & grading — catch basins, trench drains, swales, re-grading
  • Site access & hours — open-hour vs. night/weekend work
  • Material selection — coal tar vs. emulsion sealer, latex vs. thermoplastic striping, standard vs. polymer mix
  • Site accessories — striping, ADA upgrades, bollards, speed bumps, wheel stops, signage

An on-site walk identifies which of these apply to your specific property, and the written estimate prices them line by line.

Multi-Property & Annual Maintenance Programs

If you manage a portfolio — a property management firm, a commercial real estate group, an HOA management company, or a multi-site retail operator — we offer multi-property and multi-year maintenance programs that consolidate inspection, crack sealing, sealcoating, patching, and re-striping on a single schedule. Programs include annual inspections, prioritized scope recommendations, and consolidated billing. Request a portfolio review to start.
