Hear from Our Customers
You know what it’s like when your parking lot starts falling apart. Cracks everywhere, potholes that customers complain about, and that overall run-down look that makes your business seem unprofessional.
A properly installed asphalt parking lot changes everything. Your customers pull up and immediately notice the difference. Clean lines, smooth surfaces, and that fresh blacktop appearance that says you take care of your property.
More importantly, you stop dealing with constant maintenance headaches. No more emergency pothole repairs or liability concerns about customers tripping on uneven surfaces. Just a parking lot that does its job for years to come.
Central Florida Blacktop Paving Inc. has been handling parking lot paving across Central Florida for years, and we’ve built our reputation on something pretty simple: doing what we say we’ll do.
Based in Winter Garden, we understand Florida’s unique challenges. The intense heat that can destroy poorly installed asphalt. The sudden downpours that test drainage systems. The heavy traffic loads that separate quality work from quick fixes.
We serve Frostproof and the surrounding Central Florida region with both residential driveway and commercial parking lot projects. Our approach is straightforward: free consultations, transparent pricing, and getting the job done right the first time.
First, we’ll come out for a free consultation to assess your current situation and discuss what you need. No pressure, no surprise charges later – just a clear understanding of your project and an upfront price.
Next comes the preparation work. We’ll properly grade and prepare the base because that’s where most parking lot failures actually start. Shortcuts here mean problems later, so we take the time to do it right.
Then comes the asphalt installation using modern equipment designed for Florida conditions. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your business operations. Most commercial parking lots can be completed in sections to keep part of your lot accessible during construction.

Whether you need a completely new parking lot or repairs to your existing surface, we handle both residential and commercial projects throughout Frostproof and Central Florida.
New parking lot installation includes proper base preparation, quality asphalt application, and professional striping. We also handle parking lot resurfacing when your existing base is solid but the surface needs renewal.
For ongoing maintenance, we provide crack sealing, pothole repair, and sealcoating services. Florida’s climate is tough on asphalt, so regular maintenance extends the life of your investment significantly. We’ll recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific traffic patterns and usage.
Most commercial parking lots take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Weather plays a role since asphalt needs proper curing conditions.
We typically work in sections for businesses that need to stay operational during construction. Small residential driveways usually complete in one day, while larger commercial projects may take a full week including prep work and striping.
The key is proper scheduling around Florida’s afternoon thunderstorms. We monitor weather closely and adjust timelines to ensure quality installation rather than rushing through poor conditions.
Asphalt costs less upfront and handles Florida’s heat expansion better than concrete. It’s also easier to repair when issues arise – you can patch asphalt sections without replacing entire areas.
Concrete lasts longer but costs significantly more initially and can crack from ground movement or tree roots. Repairs are more complex and expensive since you often need to replace whole sections.
For most Central Florida businesses, asphalt provides the best balance of durability, cost, and maintenance requirements. The climate here actually favors asphalt since it flexes with temperature changes rather than cracking like concrete often does.
Parking lot paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot depending on thickness requirements, site preparation needs, and current conditions. Most commercial lots need 3-4 inch thickness for durability.
Additional costs include base preparation, drainage improvements, and striping. Sites requiring extensive grading or utility work cost more than straightforward installations on level ground.
We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises or hidden charges – you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before work begins. Financing options are available for larger commercial projects.
Resurfacing works when your base is solid but the surface shows wear, minor cracking, or fading. This costs about 60% less than full replacement and extends life by 8-12 years.
Complete replacement becomes necessary when you see widespread cracking, base failure, or drainage problems. Signs include large potholes, areas where the asphalt has completely broken away, or standing water that won’t drain.
We’ll assess your current lot condition during the free consultation and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes spot repairs plus resurfacing saves thousands compared to full replacement while delivering similar results.
Light vehicle traffic is typically allowed after 24-48 hours, but heavy trucks should wait at least 72 hours. Florida’s heat affects curing times – cooler weather means longer wait times.
The asphalt continues hardening for several weeks after installation. Avoid sharp turns or parking in the same spots repeatedly during the first month to prevent surface marks.
We’ll provide specific guidance based on your project timeline and traffic needs. For businesses that can’t shut down completely, we coordinate installation in phases so some parking remains available throughout the process.
Yes, professional striping and marking are included with new parking lot installations. This includes standard parking spaces, handicap spaces, fire lanes, and directional arrows as required by local codes.
We use high-quality paint designed for Florida’s UV exposure and weather conditions. Striping typically happens 30-60 days after asphalt installation to allow proper curing.
For existing lots needing fresh striping, we provide restriping services separately. This includes layout design to maximize parking spaces while meeting ADA compliance requirements and local regulations for your specific property type.
