Asphalt Installation and Paving in Cinnaminson

With proper installation and maintenance, an asphalt driveway in South Jersey typically lasts 15-20 years, while commercial parking lots generally last 12-15 years. The key to maximizing pavement life is proper drainage design, quality base construction, and periodic maintenance like sealcoating every 2-3 years. At Asphaltech, we build asphalt pavements that consistently exceed these average lifespans due to our attention to proper base preparation and premium materials.

For a typical residential driveway in South Jersey, the installation process takes 1-2 days. Day one involves removal of the old surface (if necessary), base preparation, and grading. Day two includes asphalt installation and compaction. After installation, we recommend staying off the new asphalt for at least 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions. Commercial parking lots naturally require more time, and we'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

South Jersey's climate with hot summers, cold winters, and significant rainfall requires proactive maintenance of asphalt surfaces. We recommend sealcoating every 2-3 years to protect against UV rays, water penetration, and chemical damage. Cracks should be filled promptly to prevent water infiltration, especially before winter. Additionally, keeping the surface clean from debris and addressing drainage issues will significantly extend your asphalt's lifespan.

Asphalt paving costs in South Jersey typically range from $3-$7 per square foot for residential driveways and $2-$5 per square foot for larger commercial projects. The final price depends on several factors including the size of the area, need for removal of existing pavement, base preparation requirements, drainage considerations, and accessibility. We provide detailed, transparent estimates following a thorough on-site assessment, with no hidden fees or surprises.

While we can install asphalt year-round in South Jersey, we generally avoid paving when temperatures fall below 50°F, which is common during winter months. Cold temperatures prevent proper compaction and curing of the asphalt, potentially compromising quality and longevity. Asphaltech's peak paving season runs from late March through early November. For emergency repairs during winter months, we use specialized cold-weather mixes when absolutely necessary.

Asphaltech distinguishes itself through our comprehensive approach to asphalt paving. We employ only full-time, trained crew members (never subcontractors), use premium materials specifically formulated for South Jersey's climate, and focus on proper drainage and base construction – factors that many competitors overlook. Our 5-year workmanship warranty exceeds industry standards, and our detailed, transparent pricing ensures you know exactly what you're paying for. Additionally, our project managers are on-site throughout the installation, ensuring quality control at every stage.
