Parking Lot Paving & Striping
New construction, full-depth replacement, overlays, patching, sealcoating and ADA-compliant striping for commercial properties across Northeast Ohio.
Your parking lot is the first and last thing your customers experience. A cracked, potholed lot with faded striping tells them the business inside is running the same way — even if it isn't. A clean, smooth, well-marked lot builds instant confidence, guides traffic safely, and protects your customers' vehicles.
Rendon Paving builds and maintains parking lots for retail centers, offices, medical buildings, industrial properties, apartment complexes, HOAs and municipalities across Painesville, Mentor, Willoughby, Concord, Cleveland and the rest of Lake County. Whether you need a brand new lot on a new build, a full-depth replacement of a failed surface, or a strategic maintenance plan to postpone a major project, we do the whole scope in house.
Our Parking Lot Paving Process
Commercial paving is a different animal from residential work. Traffic flow, phasing, ADA compliance, stormwater and safe access for customers all have to be planned before the first truck rolls in.
1. Site walk and evaluation. We meet you or your property manager on site, inspect the existing surface, check drainage patterns, look at catch basins, and note any structural issues (base failure, subgrade movement, tree roots). We photograph everything and put it in writing.
2. Written scope and phasing plan. Your proposal lists every line item — tear-out depth, base thickness, asphalt courses, striping, ADA specifics — plus a phasing plan so the lot stays open through the project.
3. Traffic control and access. On the day of work we set up cones, barriers and signage so customers and delivery vehicles can navigate safely. We coordinate with tenants directly if you'd like us to.
4. Tear-out, base repair and paving. Failed sections are excavated, base is corrected or rebuilt, and fresh hot-mix asphalt is laid, compacted and rolled to spec.
5. Striping and ADA layout. Once the surface has cured, we lay out and paint stalls, fire lanes, directional arrows, accessible spaces and any signage required. All work follows current ADA and Ohio code.
6. Walkthrough and reopen. You get a final walkthrough, before and after photos, and a maintenance recommendation so the lot stays in service the maximum number of years.

Preserving Your Lot for the Long Term
The most expensive parking lot is the one that gets replaced early because nobody maintained it. Small, predictable investments in crack fill, sealcoating and quick pothole patching push replacement out by a decade or more.
We build simple maintenance schedules for property managers so you know exactly what needs to happen each year and what it will cost. For multi-location clients we consolidate scheduling and reporting so you get one point of contact for every property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to pave a parking lot?+
Cost depends on square footage, existing conditions, base requirements and access. A basic overlay on a sound base runs less per square foot than a full-depth rebuild that includes tear-out, base repair and drainage work. Every commercial estimate we send breaks pricing down line by line so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
How long will my business need to shut down?+
For most retail lots we phase the work — half or a quarter at a time — so the business never fully closes. Small lots can be paved in a single day. Larger lots typically take 2 to 5 days depending on scope. We coordinate around your peak hours and can work evenings or weekends when needed.
What's the difference between an overlay and a full replacement?+
An overlay adds 1.5 to 2 inches of new asphalt over an existing sound surface. It's less disruptive and costs less. A full replacement removes the old surface down to base or subgrade, addresses any structural issues, then rebuilds. Overlays make sense when the base is intact; full replacement is required when it isn't.
Do you handle ADA striping and accessible parking requirements?+
Yes. We paint standard stalls, accessible spaces with the correct dimensions, van-accessible aisles, hatched no-parking zones, directional arrows and fire lanes. All ADA striping follows current federal and Ohio accessibility standards.
How often does a parking lot need to be sealcoated and striped?+
Sealcoat every 2 to 3 years and restripe at the same time. Heavy-use lots and drive-through lanes may need striping touch-ups annually. We build maintenance schedules for property managers so nothing gets missed.
Can you handle catch basin and drainage repair as part of the paving?+
Yes. We reset catch basin lids to finished grade, replace broken rings, correct low spots that collect water and install new drains where needed. Drainage work is often the reason a lot failed early, so we build it into the plan.
