By Dumor Const

Thursday, June 8th, 2023

At DuMor Construction, we are committed to every customer and project we service. We have been enhancing roads in Amityville, and recently completed a successful project called, “Asphalt Repair Long Island NY.” When your Long Island parking lot is starting to show wear and tear, it can be hard to know what to do or who to call. Luckily, New York businesses and property managers have a top-notch paving company: DuMor Construction. As New York’s trusted commercial paving company, we have the expertise and skills to bring even the most weathered and damaged pavement back to full function.

Our company is dedicated to helping local organizations and businesses keep their pavement pristine condition. A recent example is a successful parking lot repair and sealcoating project we completed in Amityville, near Farmingdale, on Long Island, NY. The community’s parking lot needed crack filling, sealcoating, and striping to revitalize its appearance and extend its lifespan.

Professional crack filling and sealcoating services are essential to restore and improve a parking lot. Crack filling involves packing cracks with rubberized asphalt to prevent moisture penetration and further deterioration, while sealcoating provides a protective barrier against UV rays, water, and chemicals. This combination seals off existing cracks and extends the life of the pavement. Additionally, fresh line striping is crucial in revitalizing the parking lot by clearly defining spaces, improving safety, and creating an organized appearance. Combining these services results in a restored, long-lasting, visually appealing parking lot.

DuMor Construction delivered the desired results to their longtime client, providing a safe and visually appealing environment for Amityville NY residents. The refreshed and well-maintained parking lot has garnered positive comments from the community. DuMor Construction continues to excel in its commitment to delivering quality work and exceeding customer expectations.

How thick should an asphalt parking lot be?

By Dumor Const

Thursday, September 22nd, 2022

For asphalt parking lot paving on Long Island, Dumor Construction Inc is the most experienced asphalt company, and we make sure to install all commercial pavement the right way so that it can last as long as possible. Part of this is ensuring that your asphalt parking lot has the right thickness to withstand all the use it will be put to as part of your commercial property.

The Importance of Commercial Asphalt Thickness for Parking Lots

Asphalt is made up of at least three layers: a base layer made of aggregates like gravel, a binder layer made of asphalt with large aggregates, and a surface layer of asphalt mixed with fine aggregates. All of these layers need to be the correct thickness.

What happens when asphalt is too thin?

If your asphalt isn’t thick enough to stand up to the amount of traffic it will be subject to, common asphalt problems often happen quickly. Stress can crack the asphalt all the way through the layers, which compromises the stability of the base layer, which can then cause worse cracking. Essentially, thin asphalt leads to compounding asphalt parking lot damage that requires full depth pavement replacement.

What factors affect asphalt parking lot thickness on Long Island NY?

There are a lot of factors that affect how thick the asphalt for a commercial parking lot needs to be, including:

Whether your parking lot will be low or high traffic
The weight of trucks on asphalt
Condition of the soil underneath the pavement
Quality of the aggregate subgrade or existing pavement

How thick should an asphalt parking lot be?

For a standard commercial parking lot with an average amount of traffic and stable soil, the gravel base layer should be at least 8 inches; the binder asphalt layer should be between 1.5 and 2.0 inches, and the surface layer should be the same thickness.

What is the life expectancy of an asphalt parking lot on Long Island?

The trusted contractor for parking lot paving in Long Island NY, Dumor Construction Inc., will install a commercial parking lot that’s designed to last for decades. We don’t stop there! We also provide pavement maintenance services like asphalt sealcoating that extend the life of your parking lot.

Is your Long Island asphalt parking lot aging? Here’s what you need to know about preserving and restoring your commercial parking lot.

What is the life expectancy of an asphalt parking lot on Long Island?

When it’s installed correctly, repaired when necessary, and properly maintained, an asphalt parking lot can last for up to 30 years. Usually, the asphalt begins to deteriorate by 20 years, but let’s break that down.

When can you repair asphalt damage?
Surface damage, even when it seems serious, can be fixed with high quality parking lot repair services. Crack filling stops cracks from getting worse. Asphalt patching replaces only damaged areas, and asphalt milling can resurface your parking lot and add another decade to its life.

When is it time to replace your parking lot?
This question comes down to the stability and health of the base layer underneath asphalt layers. Once this base begins to erode, sink, or crumble, the pavement above it will crack and deform. When that happens or there’s more than 25% of the surface damaged, it’s time to replace your asphalt parking lot.

How can you extend the lifespan of your asphalt parking lot?

Sealcoating services provide a layer of protection that slows down asphalt deterioration.
Regular pavement sweeping, especially in springtime, removes debris that can damage asphalt over time.
Power washing and spot treatments should be applied to chemical spills from vehicles, as those can cause potholes.

How many layers of asphalt do I need for a parking lot on Long Island NY?

By Dumor Const

Thursday, September 22nd, 2022

New York parking lots are usually paved with asphalt, but the thickness and layers of your asphalt parking lot depend on how much traffic it will see. It takes an experienced asphalt paving contractor to understand all the aspects of parking lot paving.

In Long Island NY, Dumor Construction Inc is the paving company that businesses trust to install, repair, and maintain their asphalt parking lots. Not only do we have over 40 years experience in paving, we have the latest technologies to make every project go smoothly.

The Importance of Proper Asphalt Layering for Parking Lots

When installing an asphalt parking lot, certain paving standards must be met so that the pavement doesn’t develop stress cracks, rutting, depressions, or other problems.

What are the proper layers for asphalt parking lots?

To create the perfect commercial parking lot, your paving company needs to install it using the following types of layers:

Existing soil – The land underneath the parking lot needs to be free of all vegetation, compacted for stability, and graded for correct drainage.
Aggregate base layer – The bottom pavement layer should be made of graded and compacted grave.
Structural asphalt layer – The first layer of asphalt over the subgrade needs to be comprised of bitumen and large aggregates for stability.
Surface asphalt layer – The top layer of asphalt should have fine aggregates inside for traction and be the appropriate thickness to stand up to traffic.
Surface protection – Asphalt sealcoating is a surface treatment that protects the pavement from UV rays and moisture penetration, preventing cracks.

How many layers of asphalt do I need for a parking lot on Long Island NY?

All commercial parking lots need these two layers of asphalt (at least 4” thick) on top of a stable base layer. Surface treatments like sealcoating are optional but recommended.
