Commercial paving is a project, not a job
Residential driveways are mostly the same: pour, roll, walk away. Commercial paving is different. Every project involves coordination — with tenants, customers, deliveries, fire lanes, ADA compliance, drainage permits, and (often) the city. The paving itself is the easy part. The project management is where most contractors fall down.
We've paved lots for retail centers, medical offices, restaurants, churches, industrial facilities, multi-family complexes, and HOAs around Twin Falls and the broader Magic Valley. We know how to phase work to keep half the lot open. We schedule around your busiest hours. We post the lot-closure notices, coordinate with tenants, and walk every job with the property manager before we leave.
What we do for commercial properties
New construction paving
Working with a builder or general contractor on a new commercial site? We come in after the sub-grade prep, install the aggregate base, and pour the asphalt. We can also handle the curb-and-gutter coordination, ADA accessibility planning, and final striping.
Mill and overlay
Most commercial lots are 10–20 years old and the surface course is wearing out — but the base is still sound. Mill-and-overlay is the right answer: we mill off the top inch, sweep clean, apply tack coat, and overlay with fresh hot-mix. New surface, half the cost of a tear-out, ready for striping the next day.
Full-depth reconstruction
When the base has failed — alligator cracking everywhere, water pooling, settling sections — there's no overlay that fixes it. We tear out the lot, rebuild the base, and repour. More expensive, but it's the only thing that lasts.
Patch and saw-cut repairs
For lots with localized failures (specific potholes, edge ravelling, settled sections), we do saw-cut full-depth patches. Cleaner than cold-patch, lasts 10x longer.
Maintenance contracts
For property managers and HOAs with multiple properties, we offer annual or biennial maintenance contracts. We come out, assess every property, do the crack filling and minor patches that prevent big problems, and sealcoat on the right schedule. Stops 80% of major repairs before they happen.
How we phase commercial work
For active retail and office lots, we typically split the lot into halves or quarters. We close one section, pave it, let it cure, open it, and move to the next. Customers always have parking. Tenants always have access. We post notices 7–10 days in advance and coordinate signage with property management.
For lots with after-hours flexibility (warehouses, schools, churches), we do the full lot in one weekend. Friday close, Monday open, back in business.
Property managers with 3+ lots get tiered pricing on annual maintenance contracts. We mobilize once, do all your properties in a sequenced visit, and pass the cost savings along.
What sets us apart
- Off-hours and weekend scheduling — we work around your business, not the other way around
- Real project management — single point of contact, written project schedule, daily updates during the work
- ADA compliance built-in — we re-stripe accessibility markings to current code on every job, never an upsell
- Drainage assessment included — we check the lot's grading and tell you if there's a drainage issue worth fixing while we're there
- Multi-property maintenance contracts for HOAs, property managers, and chain businesses
FAQ
How do you handle bonded or city-permitted work?
For projects requiring permits or bonding (private roads, HOA streets, anything in the public right-of-way), we pull permits, post bond if required, and provide certificates of insurance to the city.
What's the typical commercial project timeline?
From signed contract to completed work, expect 2–6 weeks depending on size and weather. Larger projects (multi-acre lots, full reconstructions) may run 4–8 weeks with phased work.
Do you handle drainage issues?
Yes. If the lot has standing-water problems or grading that's causing premature failure, we can adjust grade during paving, install French drains, or coordinate with a civil engineer for larger drainage work.
