How long does it take to pave a residential driveway?
Most driveways can be completed in one to two days, depending on size and weather conditions. We’ll provide a clear timeline before work begins.
Do I need to prepare my driveway area in any way?
Clearing vehicles and belongings from the site is typically enough. Our team handles the rest, including excavation, grading, and cleanup.
Is asphalt or concrete better for my driveway?
Both have benefits—concrete often lasts longer but comes with a higher upfront cost, while asphalt is more affordable and faster to install. We’ll recommend the best option based on your needs.
What kind of maintenance does a driveway require?
Routine sealcoating (every few years), crack filling, and prompt repairs are key to maximizing your driveway’s lifespan and appearance.
Will my landscaping be affected during installation?
We work carefully to minimize disruptions, but some minor areas may need re-seeding or re-leveling once the project is finished.
How do you minimize business disruptions during a commercial paving project?
We often use a phased approach, allowing customers and employees continued access to your lot while we work on specific areas.
Do you offer parking lot striping and signage?
Yes! We can handle everything from stall markings to ADA compliance to keep your business accessible and organized.
Is commercial paving installation covered by a warranty?
Absolutely—our one-year warranty covers all our workmanship, giving you peace of mind about your investment.
How long does commercial asphalt take to cure before it’s usable?
While you can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, we recommend allowing at least a week for it to fully cure and reach maximum durability.
Can you install or repair curbs alongside the main paving project?
Yes. Phillips Paving is a full-service contractor, and curbs are part of our comprehensive offerings.
What makes industrial paving different from residential or commercial projects?
Industrial paving often requires thicker layers or specialized mixes to handle heavier loads like tractor-trailers, forklifts, or other large machinery.
How do you ensure proper drainage for large industrial lots?
We conduct a thorough site evaluation to grade and level the surface correctly, preventing water accumulation that can lead to pavement damage.
Can you work with unique industrial conditions, like high heat or chemical exposure?
Yes. Our team selects asphalt or concrete formulas designed to withstand specific environmental or operational challenges.
Is downtime minimized during large-scale industrial installations?
We coordinate closely with facility managers to schedule work in phased sections, keeping critical operations running wherever possible.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance plans for industrial sites?
Absolutely. Preventive measures like sealcoating, crack repair, and routine inspections are vital for preserving heavy-duty surfaces.
