Asphalt Paving – East Orange NJ

Maintaining a well repaired, great looking parking space is an important part of running any establishment. Improper care and neglect of parking spaces can lead to cracks and holes that will only worsen over time. James Kurpiel Inc. specializes in repairing all neglected and damaged asphalt. Here are five ways for you to know when to replace any asphalt pavings as well as some before and after images from a recent project of ours in East Orange, where we completely transformed this parking area just by replacing the asphalt, and re-applying line striping.

When You Should Repave

Cracks

Is your parking place full of cracks? Cracks are the most common issue of aging asphalt, and occurs not only in asphalt, but concrete over time. Cracking is mostly caused by gases and oils that penetrate through asphalt and can cause cracking in happen. Living in a place that has freezing temperatures in the winter can also cause cracks to expand and worsen in asphalt, as the water can easily seep through cracks and freeze. Frozen water expands the cracks, making them larger and causing more expensive damage.

Depending on the size of cracking, your parking spot may only need repaired by patching if cracking is less severe, or may need a complete repave if cracks are severe. Making sure that you catch cracking early on and don’t neglect fixing it is important for saving money. Severe cracking will cost much more to repair compared to a few smaller cracks, and is also a lot easier to fix.

Potholes

Potholes can be a bigger inconvienence than cracks, since they can cause damage to any vehicles that drive on your parking lot. Potholes form when the top layer of material starts to weaken and eventually gives in, causing pieces to erode away and crack, causing a larger pothole.

Potholes, like cracks, should be repaired early on so that they don’t expand and cause more expenses in repair. However, repaired potholes still can return after repair, because the ground below is still expanding. A solution is to replace the entire parking lot to get rid of all potholes. The material used by James Kurpiel Inc. is built to withstand potholes better than materials used years ago.

Drainage

Sometimes, drainage can be a major issue for parking spaces. Drainage issues can lead to serious damage, such as an sloped space, which causes water to pool in certain spots. This can cause many more stress in one area, eventually causing cracks from water erosion.

Keeping a level and even space is important for asphalt and it’s longevity. Only sometimes can drainage issues can be fixed fairly inexpensively, but it can vary and depends on the conditions. Some parking pads may require to be completely repaved, seal-coated, and striped. This can be fairly expensive, but if choosing James Kurpiel Inc. for the job, we assure a long-lasting asphalt installation, and will do everything we can to ensure the longevity of your parking spaces.

Appearance

Asphalt fades over time because of sunrays that oxidize the surface of your driveway. Fading isn’t too good for your driveway, and it can be a sign that your asphalt is aged and might start either cracking soon, and you might want to get it replaced soon before the problems worsen.

Once fading occurs, the durability of your driveway is also lowered. While you may think fading is merely a cosmetic problem, you’d be wrong. Exposure to UV rays will weaken your asphalt and cause it to crack easier. To fix the durability, you will have to go for a complete re-pave in order to fix it.

Resealing

It’s very important to keep up with seal coating, and make sure you reseal any edges every two years. Sealcoating will help asphalt prevent cracking around the edges. Without seal coating, your asphalt will not last anywhere near as long as seal coated asphalt. Choosing to not seal coat can cause asphalt to form large cracks fast, causing you to have to pay for a full repaving. Resealing is an important method in paving that can help you save lots of money.

First of all as a HOA board we are required to get multiple bids for our paving project. Of all the owners who came to give us an estimate and proposal...Jim Kurpiel was by far the nicest and most knowledgeable . His estimate was in the ballpark monetarily but offered far more than the others. All his workers were excellent and courteous.. Jim was on the job overseeing everything every day. A complete pleasure to work with and an excellent job well done. We would give him a big "10" in all areas.

This summer, I used Kurpiel paving to rip out my driveway and pour a new one. They did an excellent job from start to finish. Yesterday, I had an issue with a neighbor regarding my driveway. Nothing Kurpiel did wrong but I emailed Jim for some advice. He responded within a few hours and despite his busy schedule, he personally stopped by my house this morning to take a look. Although there was nothing wrong with the work they did, Jim resolved the issue for me free of charge. He went above and beyond to help me out. I highly recommend Kurpiel Paving. This is my first time posting a google review. Because of Jim's kindness today I want to show my appreciation and share my positive experience with Jim's company.

Jim runs his business in a manner that makes customer satisfaction a top priority. His crew performed a driveway resurface in which my old pavement was dug up and removed, and new pavement was laid. He requested that we let the gravel sit for a couple weeks prior to setting the new surface so he could observe how the subbase settled. I spoke to other pros who said that not all contractors take the time to do this, but James and his crew were doing the job the "right way" so my driveway would last. His men were always on time, respectful of my property, and left the site clean both times. Jim is a personable and professional gentleman, and I would absolutely recommend this business to others. BTW- the finished project was top notch. Couldn't be happier.

Kurpiel and their associates were professional and fair. The work they did on our driveway had my neighbors, some from blocks away, asking for their info. Clean, efficient, reasonable and perfectly done. Highly recommended.

Jim and his crew are friendly, professional, honest, and reliable. From the estimate to driveway completion, the process was absolutely seamless! The driveway looks great and they left our property clean which was respectful. We appreciated how Jim and Casey were in frequent communication with us about scheduling, logistics and any questions. If only this company could do all our home repairs and renovations!

This is the best contractor we have ever dealt with. We got many estimates and he was also the best price which is a plus! He tore out our old black top driveway regraded and put in a beautiful new driveway complete with Belgian block border abd border for our landscaping. The project had many bumps, due to no fault of theirs bc we were having other work done and kept having problems which needed to push the driveway repaving back months! At the end, he had to repair and regrade some of the gravel bc it was laid at the beginning of the project but he did it with no extra charge!- crazy right! The driveway looks perfect! He came when he said he would, was always professional and we highly recommend his services!!! He also got the permits and closed the permits. Easy peasy!
