When your pavement is worn but the base is still sound, parking lot resurfacing restores ride quality fast without a full tear-out. Apex Asphalt Lakewood has served Lakewood since 2019 with asphalt overlays, milling, patching, and striping that keep lots safer and easier to maintain.
Good overlays start with the base, not the top lift. We inspect for alligator cracking, pumping, raveling, and soft spots, then verify drainage and curb reveal before we pave. Prep typically includes saw-cut and remove failed areas, full-depth patching with hot-mix asphalt, tack coat (SS-1h or CRS-1) for bond, and infrared or handwork to correct seams. If needed, we mill high spots, clean the surface with power brooms and blowers, and set proper grades at gutters, inlets, and entrances so the new mat lays tight and drains correctly.
Freeze-thaw cycles, deicing salts, and UV exposure can accelerate oxidation and cracking, so the finish details matter. We place Colorado-spec hot-mix asphalt with a paver for consistent thickness, commonly 1.5-2 inches for light to moderate traffic, and adjust mix and thickness for bus lanes, loading zones, and dumpster pads. Proper compaction is done with steel-drum and pneumatic rollers to reduce air voids and prevent premature raveling, then we seal joints at tie-ins and transitions. Final steps include ADA-accessible striping layouts, new wheel stops as needed, and clear markings for fire lanes, crosswalks, and directional arrows.
Lakewood property managers and business owners choose us because we do the unglamorous parts that make overlays last. You get a clear written scope that separates patching, milling, overlay tonnage, and striping, so there are no surprises. Our crews plan around tenant traffic with phased scheduling, off-hours paving when required, and safe pedestrian routes with cones and signage. We are licensed and insured, and we keep the jobsite clean with daily sweep-downs and controlled truck routes to protect curbs, landscaping, and entrances.
Before we demobilize, we walk the lot with you and verify grades, water flow, seam locations, and striping placement. You receive a straightforward closeout: what areas were patched, overlay thickness targets, and recommended cure and traffic times based on temperature. We also outline a practical maintenance plan, including crack sealing intervals, sealcoating timing, and when to re-stripe to keep the lot looking sharp. The result is a smoother surface, stronger edges, better drainage, and markings that help reduce liability for slips, trips, and traffic confusion.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the scope, materials (hot-mix asphalt, tack coat, crack sealant, sealcoat), and an expected schedule.
Light foot traffic is often possible the same day, and vehicle traffic is typically allowed after the asphalt cools and gains initial stability. We give site-specific guidance based on thickness, temperature, and turning movements.
Often, yes. We can do targeted repairs like saw-cut remove and replace, full-depth patching, or infrared patching, then blend the repairs into a maintenance plan such as crack filling and sealcoating.
Yes. We can restripe after paving or sealcoating, including stall lines, fire lanes, directional arrows, and accessible markings, based on your layout and requirements.
Prep typically includes demolition or milling if needed, grading for drainage, compacting aggregate base, addressing soft spots, applying tack coat where new asphalt meets existing pavement, and compacting hot-mix with vibratory rollers for density.
Parking lot resurfacing is the smart middle ground between constant patching and a full reconstruction. If your lot has widespread surface cracking, faded striping, and a rough ride, but the underlying base is stable, an asphalt overlay can extend service life, improve drainage, and restore a clean appearance with less downtime. Apex Asphalt Lakewood handles evaluation, prep, paving, and re-striping as one coordinated scope so the finished lot performs as a system.
Most resurfacing projects begin with a condition review to confirm the pavement is a good candidate for overlay. We look for structural failures, base movement, chronic ponding, and edge breakup, then recommend the right combination of remove-and-replace patching, milling, and leveling. Surface prep includes cleaning, joint work, and an application of tack coat so the new hot-mix asphalt bonds to the existing pavement instead of sliding or delaminating.
During paving, we focus on smoothness, transitions, and compaction. The overlay thickness and mix are matched to traffic demands, with heavier builds for loading zones and tight turns that cause shear. After rolling, we address seams and edges, then complete line striping with layouts that support traffic flow and ADA access, including crosswalks and accessible stalls where required.
If you are comparing repair paths, resurfacing often delivers the best value when the lot is generally stable but cosmetically and functionally worn. You get a renewed driving surface, cleaner drainage patterns, and a professional finish that supports your property image.
