Specialty construction Drainage / traffic / durable access
Commercial Paving
Asphalt paving, repairs, curbs, drainage adjustments, concrete interfaces, line marking, and traffic phasing for commercial and multi-residential properties.
Built around performance Details that matter
The finish is only as strong as the planning behind it.
A good paved surface depends on what is below it and where water goes. Base failure, poor drainage, utility settlement, freeze-thaw cycles, heavy traffic, thin edges, and badly detailed interfaces can quickly undo a cosmetic overlay.
Moderno coordinates investigation, removals or milling, granular and localized base repairs, asphalt placement, compaction, curbs, catch basins, concrete interfaces, line painting, signage, traffic, and phased reopening.

Our scope Coordinated delivery
One team across the critical interfaces.
Base + drainage
Remove failed areas, repair granular or stabilized base, adjust structures, correct localized grades, and resolve vulnerable edges.
Paving
Coordinate milling, tack, asphalt type and thickness, placement, joints, compaction, tie-ins, ramps, curbs, and quality control.
Marking + reopen
Allow required cooling or cure, complete line painting and symbols, reinstate signs and stops, clean the site, and reopen in phases.
Our process Clear from the start
Decisions resolved before they become site problems.
- 01
Survey
Establish quantities, distress, drainage, access, traffic, utility covers, operational needs, and repair priorities.
- 02
Phase
Plan closures, temporary routes, deliveries, accessible access, emergency service, tenant notices, and weather contingencies.
- 03
Prepare + pave
Complete removals, base and drainage repairs, milling, asphalt placement, compaction, and clean tie-ins.
- 04
Mark + release
Inspect levels and finish, complete line painting and accessories, remove controls, and reopen safely.
Technical considerations No hidden handoffs
What we resolve with the project team.
- 01
Subgrade and base condition, asphalt type, thickness, compaction, joints, edge support, settlement, and heavy loading
- 02
Surface drainage, catch basins, curbs, slopes, accessible routes, ramps, concrete interfaces, and utility structures
- 03
Traffic control, deliveries, emergency access, business continuity, weather, temperatures, staging, and reopening time
Frequently asked Practical answers
What property teams want to know.
Is an asphalt overlay enough for a damaged parking lot?
Only when the existing pavement and base are sufficiently stable and drainage is acceptable. Areas with movement, settlement, alligator cracking, or base failure usually need deeper repairs first.
Can a parking lot remain partly open during paving?
Yes. Larger properties can often be divided into phases with temporary traffic routes, access to businesses and residences, protected pedestrian paths, and clear reopening times.
When can vehicles drive on new asphalt?
The timing depends on mix, thickness, weather, compaction, loading, and the paving contractor's requirements. The project plan sets controlled reopening to protect the new surface.
