If your asphalt is cracked, rutted, or oxidized but the base is still sound, parking lot resurfacing can restore a clean, safe surface without a full rebuild. Apex Asphalt San Jose (serving since 2018) installs asphalt overlays that improve ride quality, drainage, and striping results with minimal downtime in San Jose.
Good overlays start with the base. We inspect for alligator cracking, pumping, soft spots, and drainage problems, then mark areas that need full-depth patching before any paving. Prep typically includes saw-cut removal of failed asphalt, excavation to stable subgrade, compacted aggregate base (Class 2 AB), and tack coat (SS-1h) for bond. We clean the pavement, seal blowouts, and address utility adjustments (manholes, valve boxes, cleanouts) so the finished overlay lays flat and drains correctly.
San Jose heat and sun accelerate asphalt oxidation, and heavier traffic can create ruts and shoving at drive lanes, dumpster pads, and turning areas. For long-lasting parking lot resurfacing, we mill high spots where needed, correct cross-slope, and install a uniform overlay thickness that matches your traffic load and existing grades. Our crews pave with a paver, then compact with steel drum and pneumatic rollers to reach proper density and tight joints. After the mat cools, we can apply a light sanded sealcoat at the right cure window and finish with ADA-compliant striping, stencils, and wheel stop layout for clean traffic flow.
Property managers and business owners choose us because we are straightforward about when an overlay makes sense and when it does not. If the lot has widespread base failure or standing water from poor grade, we will recommend patching, milling, or reconstruction instead of covering problems. You get a clear written scope that calls out quantities, thickness, patch locations, and sequencing so tenants and deliveries can still access the site. Our team is licensed and insured, and we schedule resurfacing in phases to keep entrances open and reduce disruption.
Before we wrap up, we do a walkthrough to confirm drainage, transitions at sidewalks and gutters, and smooth tie-ins at garage entries and speed bumps. You receive a resurfaced asphalt lot with compacted overlay, sealed joints, and crisp striping ready for daily traffic. We provide maintenance guidance on cure times, early-load restrictions, and crack sealing intervals to protect your investment. If you want, we can set a recurring plan for sealcoating, sweeping, and annual inspections to extend service life and keep the lot looking professional.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the recommended scope, measured quantities, and the materials and steps included.
Yes. We regularly transition asphalt to garage slabs, sidewalks, and existing concrete, using clean sawcut edges where needed and proper compaction at the joint to reduce separation.
Repair scope depends on the failure, but may include sawcut and removal, base rebuild with aggregate, compaction, hot mix placement, and edge sealing. We can also add crack sealing and sealcoating where appropriate.
Yes. We stripe stalls, arrows, fire lanes, and accessible markings, and we can coordinate layouts for re-striping after paving or sealcoating.
Yes. For active businesses, we can phase paving or resurfacing, set cure windows, and plan access routes to reduce downtime.
Parking lot resurfacing (also called an asphalt overlay) is a cost-effective way to renew worn pavement when the underlying base is still structurally sound. Instead of tearing everything out, we repair failed areas, improve grades where needed, then place a new lift of hot mix asphalt (HMA) to restore a smooth, uniform surface. Apex Asphalt San Jose helps commercial properties, HOAs, churches, schools, and retail centers extend pavement life and improve curb appeal with a clean, well-compacted overlay and fresh striping.
Our resurfacing process starts with a site review: pavement condition, drainage, existing thickness, and areas that need structural repair. We handle saw-cut patching, compacted aggregate base repair, and leveling courses, then install the overlay with proper edge control and joint construction. Compaction is done with steel drum and pneumatic rollers to lock aggregate, reduce air voids, and deliver a tight, durable mat. When required, we adjust utility castings and protect concrete flatwork so the final grades meet entrances, ramps, and walks cleanly.
Choosing the right scope matters. An overlay is ideal for oxidation, moderate cracking, minor rutting, and surface raveling, but it will not fix unstable base, saturated subgrade, or chronic drainage problems without additional work. We explain the options, including milling and paving, patch-and-overlay, or reconstruction, and provide a written estimate that spells out thickness, patch quantities, and phasing.
After paving, we can complete striping and markings once the surface is ready, then outline a maintenance plan that typically includes crack sealing, periodic sealcoating, and routine inspections. If you are planning parking lot resurfacing in San Jose, we will help you choose the most practical path to a safer, better-looking lot with predictable performance.
