Top Commercial Paving Contractor in Henrico County VA

Finley Asphalt & Concrete completed an asphalt milling and paving job for a local elementary school in Richmond, VA. We also added new line striping once the project was complete!

Henrico Elementary School has a play court that needed significant attention. There were multiple cracks across the entire surface in addition to deterioration on the pavement surface. Some rock was exposed and the pavement appeared coarse in many spots. The school board determined that it was time to have the play area taken care of before school resumes in the fall.

The school board requested estimates from multiple paving contractors, including our paving crew. Ultimately we obtained the paving contract to do the work. Scheduling was vital as they wanted the job to be performed while school was out and also that the time be coordinated before the staff needed to come back to access the building regularly.

Once we established the timeline for the project, we were ready to get started on the job. Our crew prepared the area for milling first, which is the process of removing and recycling existing asphalt pavement in order to restore and correct any errors in the asphalt’s current surface. During this process, the first step is to remove the top layer of asphalt, then we grind up the material in a milling machine, restoring it to the necessary consistency to create fresh pavement. This process was completed very quickly.

Once the milling process was complete, the rest of the project came together quickly. We re-paved the entire play court then compacted the asphalt to the contract specifications (which are the same specs as specified by the Virginia Department of Transportation). Once the asphalt was laid and compacted, we did line striping in the appropriate areas.

The school was very pleased with how the court turned out. The staff and students commented on how it looked brand new!

The commercial paving crew at Finley Asphalt & Concrete recently completed an asphalt milling, paving and parking lot striping job for a client in Henrico, VA.

The property owner noticed a lot of issues with the parking lot at his place of business. The parking lot had major drainage issues and cracks that had formed as a result. He had worked with Finley in the past for paving project on other properties so he called us without hesitation to come take a look.

We came on a Wednesday, right after lunch, to look at the parking lot. There used to be islands on the property that a different contractor previously took out and patched the asphalt in where they used to be. Unfortunately, this caused water to puddle on the new patches, leading to significant drainage issues. That was the first reason the client wanted us to fix his parking lot. The second reason was that there was a need for a few additional parking spaces. We gave him a quote, which he promptly accepted and we scheduled to begin the following month.

Our crew arrived as scheduled and got to work right away. They milled the entire parking lot, correcting the drainage issues then ensured it was properly graded. The crew then repaved the entire lot. Once the paving project was complete, Finley was able to stripe the lot and add in 4 new parking spaces.

The client was not only thrilled with the new looking lot and additional spaces, but he was glad to know that the drainage problem was fixed and the lot was paved properly this time because he hired us!
