Commercial · San Francisco, CA
Commercial parking lots fail fast when the base is soft, drainage is wrong, and repairs are patched without proper compaction. Apex Asphalt San Francisco delivers parking lot paving and repair that prioritizes subgrade stability, smooth traffic flow, and long service life for busy properties in San Francisco.
Every durable lot starts below the asphalt. We begin with a site walk, slope checks, and layout for traffic control, then sawcut and remove failed pavement with a skid steer, breaker, and dump truck haul-off. Our crew proof-rolls the subgrade, corrects soft spots, and rebuilds the foundation with properly graded aggregate base (Class 2 AB or equivalent) placed in lifts and compacted with a vibratory roller and plate compactor. Where needed, we install or restore drainage features, adjust utility castings, and add geotextile fabric to separate weak soils from base rock and reduce pumping and rutting.
San Francisco parking lots see heavy delivery traffic, tight turning radii, and frequent braking at entries, speed bumps, and dumpster pads. We match the mix and placement to the use, including thicker sections in load zones and smooth transitions at gutters, ramps, and ADA routes. Paving is placed with a paver (or hand-worked where access is limited), then rolled in the correct sequence to hit density and a clean, tight mat. Finish options include infrared repair for localized failures, mill and overlay to restore grade without full reconstruction, and sealcoating plus crack sealing to slow oxidation and water intrusion after the asphalt has cured.
Property managers and facility teams choose us because we plan around operating hours and keep access predictable. You get clear phasing for entrances, loading zones, and fire lanes, plus coordination for striping and signage so the lot reopens quickly. Our crews use commercial-grade equipment, follow tight edge and joint practices, and focus on the details that prevent callbacks, proper compaction at seams, solid tie-ins to concrete, and clean sawcut lines for repairs. As a licensed and insured contractor serving since 2017, we deliver straightforward scopes, realistic schedules, and written estimates you can compare line by line.
At closeout, we walk the lot with you and verify slopes, drainage paths, transitions at sidewalks and door thresholds, and any patched areas. You receive a documented scope of what was installed, thickness targets where applicable, and recommended maintenance timing for crack sealing, sealcoating, and restriping. We can also provide an as-built style site note for future budgeting, highlighting weak zones, drainage issues, and suggested lifecycle improvements. The goal is simple, a parking lot that drives smooth, drains correctly, and holds up under daily commercial traffic.
Yes. We are a licensed and insured asphalt contractor, and we provide written estimates with a clear scope of work, materials, and scheduling.
Light foot traffic is often possible the same day, while vehicle traffic typically needs more time depending on temperature, thickness, and site conditions. We give specific reopen times and protect soft edges during the first days of curing.
Yes, when failures are isolated. We can sawcut and remove damaged sections, rebuild base, and place hot-mix asphalt patches, then blend with crack sealing or a resurfacing plan if the surrounding pavement is near end-of-life.
Yes. We can stripe with traffic paint or thermoplastic where appropriate and help you plan stall widths, accessible spaces, and access aisles based on current site conditions and striping best practices.
Keep water moving off the surface, seal cracks early, avoid turning wheels in place when the pavement is hot, and schedule sealcoating on a maintenance cycle after proper cure. We can set a maintenance plan based on your traffic and exposure.
Parking lot paving is more than a new black surface, it is a structural system built to carry traffic, shed water, and stay serviceable under constant turning and braking. Apex Asphalt San Francisco handles full-depth reconstruction, mill and overlay, asphalt patching, crack sealing, sealcoating, and parking lot striping for offices, retail, HOAs, warehouses, and mixed-use properties. We focus on base integrity, proper compaction, and durable details at edges, joints, and tie-ins.
When a lot shows alligator cracking, rutting, potholes, or widespread fatigue, patching alone will not solve it. We evaluate the pavement section, identify base failures, and recommend the right fix, localized remove-and-replace, a structural overlay after milling, or complete reconstruction. Our paving crews use graded aggregate base, geotextile separation where needed, and roller compaction practices that tighten joints and prevent early edge breakdown. For properties with limited access, we phase the work to keep tenant and delivery traffic moving.
Finish quality matters for safety and liability. We pay attention to smooth transitions at driveways, sidewalks, and entrances, correct cross slope for drainage, and consistent paving thickness in turning lanes. After paving, we coordinate restriping for stall layout, fire lanes, loading zones, and accessible parking, and we can add crack sealing and sealcoating at the proper time to slow oxidation and water intrusion. If your goal is fewer pothole calls, cleaner curb appeal, and a lot that drains correctly, we will put it in writing with a clear scope and schedule.
