Austin Commercial Parking Lot Paving & Striping
Bailey & Bear Construction replaces failed asphalt and re-stripes parking lots for Austin warehouses, shop buildings and commercial properties, usually as part of a larger building improvement. We remove failed asphalt, repair base where needed, proof-roll, tack and pave hot-mix asphalt, then lay out and stripe stalls, a van-accessible ADA stall with symbol, cross-hatch, sign and post, wheel stops, bollard paint and site markings.
Asphalt replacement, step by step
A lot that is alligator-cracked, potholed or holding water usually has a base problem, not just a surface problem. Our paving scope removes the failed asphalt, repairs the base where needed, proof-rolls to find soft spots, applies a tack coat and places compacted hot-mix asphalt (Type D is common for parking surfaces). Paving is priced per square foot and billed on field-measured area, so the final invoice matches what was actually paved. If removal exposes soft or failed subgrade, that repair is priced at unit rates before it is done.
Striping, ADA stalls & site markings
Van-accessible ADA stall
Accessible stall with the access aisle cross-hatch, ground symbol, and a sign and post. See our ADA compliance work.
Wheel stops
Precast wheel stops set and pinned in lots and yards, or a poured concrete curb as an alternate.
Bollards & safety paint
Repaint existing bollards safety yellow and add protection where trucks and doors meet.
Warehouse floor lines
Yellow aisle and safety lines on the warehouse floor so forklifts, carts and people have clear lanes.
Sealcoat
Sealcoat and re-stripe is recommended within about a year of new paving, after the asphalt has cured, and is priced as its own line.
Asphalt or concrete for a warehouse yard?
Asphalt is usually the economical surface for a front parking lot with cars and vans. Truck yards, dumpster pads and areas where forklifts turn often perform better in concrete; see our commercial concrete page for reinforced yard pads poured over existing concrete. Either way, the section is sized for the heaviest traffic: cars, vans, box trucks and light forklifts are a different design than semi-truck or heavy forklift traffic.
What to plan before paving
New asphalt needs dry weather and should stay closed to vehicles until it has set, typically about two days, so we plan access around your deliveries. Drainage work beyond sloping the new surface, storm sewer, detention, landscaping and irrigation are separate scopes. Fire lane markings are included only when they are listed in the estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Do you pave parking lots as a standalone job?
Our paving and striping work is most often part of a larger warehouse or commercial building improvement. Call to talk through your lot and we will tell you plainly whether it is a fit.
How is commercial asphalt paving priced?
Per square foot of field-measured area, with base repair for soft or failed subgrade priced at unit rates before it is done, so you only pay for what is actually removed and paved.
Can you add an ADA parking stall?
Yes. We stripe van-accessible ADA stalls with the access aisle cross-hatch, ground symbol, and a sign and post as part of the striping scope.
When should a new asphalt lot be sealcoated?
Sealcoat is recommended within about a year of paving, after the asphalt has cured. We price sealcoat and re-stripe as a separate line.
