Project timelines depend on scope. A parking lot overlay typically takes one to two days, while new full-depth construction on a larger site can run several days to over a week. Permitting may add lead time for bigger jobs. HEV Asphalt Paving Co. provides a clear timeline estimate during your free on-site consultation so there are no surprises once work begins.

Yes. Any property open to the public must maintain ADA-accessible parking under federal law. Resurfacing or overlay work can trigger a compliance review, and pavement settling from Houston's clay soil can quietly push a previously compliant lot out of tolerance. Our team incorporates ADA requirements directly into every project.

Watch for widespread cracking, rutting, standing water that does not drain after rain, faded or missing pavement markings, and surface raveling where the asphalt aggregate is breaking loose. These are indicators that maintenance or an overlay is overdue. Catching deterioration early with crack sealing or sealcoating is almost always more cost-effective than waiting until full-depth replacement becomes the only option.

Asphalt is generally preferred for Houston commercial paving. It installs and reopens faster, costs less per square foot on large surfaces, handles the region's thermal expansion cycles well, and can be maintained or overlaid without replacing the entire lot. Concrete can be appropriate for certain applications, but asphalt's repairability and lower upfront cost make it the more practical choice.

Look for a contractor with documented commercial paving experience, in-house capability for sub-base preparation, drainage grading, and ADA striping, and confirmed licensing and general liability insurance. Ask for references from comparable commercial projects. You can review completed work in the HEV Asphalt Paving Co. gallery and read verified customer reviews on Google before making your decision.
