Commercial Parking Lot
Paving Albany NY
| Egan Paving

Commercial asphalt paving in the Albany–Schenectady area typically runs $3.00–$6.50 per square foot for resurfacing and $5.00–$10.00+ per square foot for full-depth new construction, depending on lot size, existing sub-base condition, material thickness, and site access. Larger lots benefit from economies of scale. Drainage work, curbing, and striping are quoted separately. The best way to get an accurate number is a free on-site assessment — call (518) 221-4132.

A 100–200 stall lot resurfacing project typically takes 1–3 nights when phased to keep the lot partially open. Larger projects or ground-up construction may run 3–7 days. We build a detailed schedule before mobilizing and stick to it — tenant communication templates and temporary signage are included.

Yes — this is one of our specialties. Egan Paving regularly performs commercial paving during overnight and weekend windows for retail centers, medical offices, and apartment communities throughout the Capital Region. Hot-mix asphalt plants in the Albany area operate night shifts, and our crews are experienced with nighttime paving logistics. Work zones are fully lit and barricaded per OSHA requirements.

Under the ADA and NY State Building Code, commercial parking lots must provide a specific number of accessible spaces based on total stall count (generally 1 per 25 spaces up to 100, scaling above that), with at least one van-accessible space per six accessible spaces. Accessible stalls require 8-foot widths (or 11-foot for van spaces), an adjacent 5-foot access aisle, and a compliant path to the building entrance with proper cross-slopes (max 2%). Non-compliance exposes property owners to federal ADA lawsuits and potential fines. We assess your current layout for compliance and include upgrades in every resurfacing and re-striping project.

The optimal window in Albany and Schenectady is late April through October — when ground temperatures consistently exceed 50°F and rain is manageable. That said, quality contractors can pave in cooler shoulder seasons with proper planning. We do not pave on frozen ground or during active precipitation. If your lot needs emergency repair outside the ideal season, infrared patching or temporary cold-mix repairs can address safety hazards until full paving weather returns.

This comes down to sub-base condition. Resurfacing (overlay or mill-and-fill) works when the existing base is structurally sound — you're dealing with surface deterioration, oxidation, or minor cracking. It's cost-effective and extends life 15–20 years. Full reconstruction is necessary when you see alligator cracking across large areas, significant rutting, or soft spots that indicate base failure or poor drainage — often caused by years of water infiltration. Our free assessment tells you exactly which category your lot falls into, so you're not over- or under-investing.

Yes. For projects requiring right-of-way permits, lane closure permits, or municipal approvals in Albany, Schenectady, Colonie, and surrounding towns, Egan Paving manages the permit application process on your behalf. We're familiar with local requirements and have established relationships with the relevant municipal engineering departments. Permit fees are passed through at cost with no markup.

Egan Paving provides a written workmanship warranty on all commercial projects. Warranty length varies by project type — new construction, resurfacing, and repairs each carry different terms that are clearly stated in your contract. Material warranties from our asphalt supplier are also passed through. We've been in business in the same community since 1975; our reputation depends on standing behind our work, and we do.
