Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for a parking lot that doesn’t crack apart in two years or turn into a puddle every time it rains.
When your commercial asphalt is installed correctly—with proper drainage, a solid base, and materials that can handle Florida’s climate—you stop worrying about potholes, liability issues, and constant repairs. Your customers pull in, park without dodging craters, and their first impression is that you run a tight operation.
That’s what matters. Not the paving process itself, but what happens after: smooth surfaces, no water pooling, and a lot that still looks professional years down the road. Commercial paving should solve problems, not create them.
We operate out of Winter Garden and serve Kingsford and the surrounding Central Florida region. We handle both residential driveways and commercial parking lots, but the focus is always the same: quality work that holds up.
We use modern equipment and know how to handle the specific challenges that come with paving in this area—sandy soils, drainage issues, humidity. We’re not cutting corners to land the job. Every project gets a free consultation and transparent pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work starts.
First, we assess your site. We check the soil, look at drainage, and figure out what prep work is needed. If there’s old asphalt that needs removal, we handle that. If the ground needs grading to prevent water from pooling, that happens too.
Next comes the base layer—typically 8 to 12 inches of compacted gravel. This isn’t optional. Without a solid base, your parking lot will sink and crack no matter how good the asphalt looks on top. We grade everything with a slight slope so water drains off instead of sitting there eating away at your pavement.
Then the asphalt goes down in layers: a binder course for strength, then a smooth top layer. Everything gets rolled and compacted properly. After it cures, striping goes on—parking lines, ADA spaces, directional arrows, whatever your lot needs. Most commercial parking lot paving projects in Kingsford take three to seven days depending on size and weather. You can use the lot within a few days after completion.

Commercial paving isn’t just slapping down asphalt. It’s site preparation, proper drainage, quality materials, and finishing work that makes your parking lot functional and safe.
In Kingsford and throughout Central Florida, drainage is critical. Summer storms dump water fast, and if your lot isn’t graded correctly, you’ll have standing water that seeps into cracks and destroys your pavement from below. Proper grading with a 2% slope keeps water moving off your lot instead of sitting there causing damage.
The asphalt itself needs to be thick enough for your traffic. Light vehicle traffic needs about 3 inches. Heavier trucks and delivery vehicles need more. The base layer matters just as much—compacted gravel provides the foundation that keeps your asphalt from settling unevenly.
Finishing work includes sealcoating (which protects against sun damage and extends life), crack filling, and professional striping for parking spaces, fire lanes, handicap spots, and traffic flow. All of this needs to meet local codes and ADA requirements. A commercial paving company that knows what they’re doing handles all of it, so you don’t have to chase down multiple contractors or worry about compliance issues.
Commercial asphalt paving typically runs between $2 and $4.50 per square foot in Central Florida, depending on site conditions, asphalt thickness, and prep work required. A standard 10,000 square foot parking lot—enough for about 30 to 35 vehicles—usually costs between $20,000 and $45,000.
That price includes site prep, base installation, asphalt paving, and basic striping. If your site needs extensive grading, drainage work, or removal of old pavement, costs go up. If the soil is rocky or unstable, you’ll need more prep work, which adds $1 to $2 per square foot.
The only way to get an accurate number is to have someone look at your property. Soil conditions, accessibility, existing pavement condition, and drainage all affect the final price. We offer free consultations and transparent quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work starts.
A properly installed commercial parking lot in Kingsford should last 20 to 30 years with regular maintenance. The key words are “properly installed” and “regular maintenance.” Cut corners on either one, and you’re looking at problems in 5 to 10 years instead.
Proper installation means adequate base preparation, correct asphalt thickness for your traffic load, and proper drainage. In Central Florida, drainage is especially critical because water is your pavement’s biggest enemy. Standing water seeps into small cracks, weakens the base, and leads to potholes and structural failure.
Regular maintenance means sealcoating every 2 to 5 years, filling cracks as they appear, and addressing drainage issues before they become major problems. Sealcoating costs around $0.14 to $0.30 per square foot and protects your asphalt from sun damage, water penetration, and chemical spills. It’s a small investment that significantly extends your parking lot’s life. Skip the maintenance, and even the best installation will deteriorate faster than it should.
Resurfacing means adding a new layer of asphalt on top of your existing pavement. It’s less expensive—usually $1 to $3 per square foot—and works well if your current parking lot has minor surface damage but the base underneath is still solid. You’re essentially giving your lot a facelift without tearing everything out.
Repaving means removing the old asphalt completely and starting fresh with a new base and new asphalt. It costs more because there’s demolition, hauling, and complete reconstruction involved. But if your parking lot has major cracks, settling, or base failure, resurfacing won’t fix it. You’ll just be putting new asphalt over a failing foundation, and the problems will come right back.
The decision comes down to the condition of your existing lot. We assess your pavement and base before recommending which approach makes sense. If the base is compromised or there’s extensive cracking throughout, repaving is the right move. If the damage is mostly surface-level and the base is sound, resurfacing can save you money while still giving you a solid result.
Most commercial parking lot paving projects in Kingsford take 3 to 7 days from start to finish, depending on the size of your lot and weather conditions. You can typically use the new asphalt within 24 to 48 hours after the final layer goes down, though full curing takes longer.
We can work in phases to minimize disruption. We’ll pave half your lot while you use the other half, then switch. This keeps your business accessible to customers throughout the project. If you have specific timing needs—like avoiding your busiest days or working around deliveries—discuss that upfront during the consultation.
Weather is the wild card, especially in Central Florida. Rain delays paving work because asphalt needs dry conditions to install properly. We avoid paving during Florida’s wettest months when possible. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on the season and keep you updated if weather pushes things back. We plan around your business needs and communicate clearly about scheduling.
Yes, commercial paving projects typically require permits in Kingsford and throughout Florida. The specific permits depend on the scope of work—whether you’re installing a new parking lot, repaving an existing one, or making significant changes to drainage or grading.
We handle permit applications as part of our service. We know local codes, ADA requirements, and what documentation the city needs. Trying to navigate permitting yourself usually means delays and headaches.
Permits ensure your parking lot meets safety standards, proper drainage requirements, and accessibility codes. They also protect you legally. If someone gets injured in your parking lot and you don’t have proper permits and code compliance, you could face liability issues. We build permit costs and compliance into our quote and manage the entire process so you don’t have to think about it.
Your parking lot needs sealcoating every 2 to 5 years, crack filling annually or as cracks appear, and occasional patching for any potholes or damaged areas. Sealcoating protects the asphalt from sun damage, water penetration, and chemical spills while keeping it looking fresh. It costs around $0.14 to $0.30 per square foot and significantly extends your pavement’s life.
Crack filling is cheap insurance. Small cracks let water seep down to the base layer, where it causes much bigger problems. Filling them costs $0.50 to $3 per linear foot and prevents minor issues from becoming major repairs. Check your lot regularly, especially after heavy storms, and address cracks quickly.
Every 10 to 15 years, you’ll likely need resurfacing—adding a new top layer of asphalt to refresh the surface. That runs $1 to $3 per square foot and gives you another decade or more of life. With proper maintenance, your commercial parking lot in Kingsford should last 20 to 30 years before needing complete replacement. Skip the maintenance, and you’ll be repaving in half that time at much greater expense.
