Metro Area, offering reliable solutions that combine durability, curb appeal, and cost-efficiency.
What is Asphalt Paving?
Asphalt paving involves using a paver to lay asphalt (a mixture of aggregates and bitumen) onto a prepared surface. This mixture is then compacted to create smooth, safe, and long-lasting surfaces ideal for high-traffic areas like roads, driveways, and parking lots.
Asphalt’s quick installation time and cost-effectiveness make it a preferred choice for commercial properties and municipalities.
What Are the Advantages of Asphalt Paving?
Improving Deteriorated Surfaces
Cracked, uneven, or crumbling pavement isn’t just unattractive—it’s a safety risk. Asphalt paving provides a smooth, level surface that reduces trip hazards and ensures better traction for vehicles and pedestrians. For commercial properties, a well-maintained pavement reflects professionalism and safety.
Protection From Weather-Related Damages
Asphalt is engineered to withstand weather extremes. It resists damage from ice, snow, and rain, helping prevent the formation of cracks and potholes caused by freeze-thaw cycles. With proper sealcoating, it can remain resilient year-round.
Revamp Unsightly Appearance
Worn-out pavement can severely impact your property’s curb appeal. A fresh asphalt overlay instantly upgrades the appearance of your parking lots, pathways, or access roads, making a positive first impression on visitors and clients.
Lower Ongoing Maintenance Costs
Asphalt Paving is Economical
Compared to concrete, asphalt is up to eight times more economical, especially for large-scale commercial applications. Its affordability, combined with long-term performance, delivers exceptional ROI for businesses and municipalities alike.
Asphalt Paving is Eco-Friendly
Asphalt is one of the most recycled construction materials in the U.S. Additionally, the energy used to manufacture asphalt materials is minimal, making it an environmentally responsible choice for businesses seeking sustainability.
Our Commercial Asphalt Paving Services
At Chamberlain Contractors, we provide a full suite of commercial asphalt paving services tailored to businesses and property owners throughout Maryland, Northern Virginia, Southern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the D.C. Metro Area. Our team is equipped to handle projects of every scale—from basic repairs to large-scale construction—with a focus on long-term value and minimal disruption to your operations.
Asphalt Overlay & Resurfacing
Asphalt overlay is a budget-friendly option if your surface is structurally sound but showing signs of wear. This process involves milling the top layer of the existing pavement and laying a new layer of asphalt over top, restoring appearance and functionality without the cost of full replacement. It’s ideal for commercial properties looking to extend pavement life quickly and affordably.
Expansion & New Paving
Need to expand an existing lot or construct new pavement from scratch? Our team is experienced in building everything from commercial driveways to large parking lots and roadways. We ensure all new paving projects are built to last, with proper grading, drainage, and material selection from start to finish.
Reclamation & Repaving
When overlays aren’t sufficient, reclamation may be the right solution. Our team performs full-depth reclamation to rebuild the damaged base layer by pulverizing the existing base and repaving over it. This method is not only cost-effective but also eco-friendly, reusing existing materials on-site.
Why an Area Might Need Repaving
Upon arrival, our crew will conduct a core test on all pavement to determine the condition of the subgrade. The greater the damage to your surface, the more likely you will need a replacement. Here are a few reasons why you should consider repaving your damaged surface:
- You want to enhance the aesthetics of your pavement
- You want to fix drainage issues once and for all
- You want to make your property more valuable to potential buyers
- You want to maintain a safe and secure environment

What Causes Asphalt Deterioration?
The subgrade beneath your pavement largely determines the condition of your pavement. If the subgrade is too thin or sustains damage, it could deteriorate prematurely. Some other factors that contribute to asphalt deterioration include:
- Heavyweight and load-bearing capacity of traffic
- Inadequate water drainage systems
- Oil and gas stains
- Poor routine maintenance
- Sudden weather fluctuations
How to Ensure Asphalt Longevity
If you want to protect your investment and prolong the life of your asphalt, you MUST prioritize preventative maintenance.
The best way to maximize the lifespan of your asphalt is by performing routine preventative maintenance. This helps to delay the need for repairs or replacement. Our proven maintenance services help to protect your pavement from damage, prevent deterioration, and enhance overall functionality.
Asphalt Paving Frequently Asked Questions
Asphalt paving refers to laying hot mix asphalt over a prepared surface to form a strong, smooth surface. This process is commonly used for roads, driveways, and parking lots, thanks to its durability and cost-effectiveness.
With routine upkeep, such as crack filling, sealcoating, and patching, asphalt surfaces can last between 15 and 25 years. Factors like local climate, vehicle load, and usage frequency also impact the lifespan.
Yes, it can. Cracks and Potholes can be effectively fixed without a full replacement. For surfaces with more extensive wear, resurfacing through overlay is an excellent way to extend lifespan and restore appearance.
While asphalt performs well across diverse conditions, freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and heavy rainfall can degrade it over time. Regular maintenance and protective treatments help guard against these elements and preserve the pavement’s strength.
