Starting a paving project, whether for your driveway, business lot, or public facility, can come with a lot of questions. How long will it take? What’s involved? Will I need to do anything before the crew arrives?
At Kingsway Services, we know that clear communication is just as important as quality craftsmanship. That’s why we walk every customer through what to expect at every step of the asphalt paving process. Whether you're a first-time homeowner or a seasoned property manager, understanding how the process works helps you feel confident and prepared.
Here’s a look at what happens before, during, and after a Kingsway paving project, and what sets us apart as one of Northeast Ohio’s most trusted asphalt contractors.
Every successful project begins with listening.
When you reach out to Kingsway, we’ll schedule an on-site consultation to review your existing surface (if one exists), talk through your goals, and determine the best paving approach. We’ll assess important factors like:
We’ll tailor our recommendations to your specific site and budget, whether it’s a cracked residential driveway or an outdated parking lot. This early step also gives you a chance to ask questions and understand the scope of work before we move forward.
Following the site visit, we’ll provide a detailed proposal outlining:
We take pride in clear, honest communication. No fine print, no vague estimates, just a practical, straightforward plan designed around your property and your schedule.
For residential paving in Ohio, projects typically take 1–3 days, depending on the size and scope. Commercial or public works projects may take longer due to site complexity, weather considerations, or material availability.
Once you approve the proposal, we’ll schedule your project with consideration for weather conditions and any access needs (for example, planning around business hours or minimizing downtime for schools or churches).
Leading up to the project, we’ll coordinate:
We’re also happy to work with other contractors or landscapers if the project is part of a larger property improvement plan.
Once work begins, our trained team arrives with all equipment and materials ready. Here’s what typically happens during a standard Kingsway Services paving project:
We pay close attention to edges, transitions, and drainage to ensure a clean, functional finish. If you’ve chosen a custom layout, such as a widened turnaround or apron, this is where that design comes to life.
After paving, we complete the job with:
We’ll walk the site with you, answer any last-minute questions, and leave you with care tips to protect your investment.
Your new surface will need a short curing period before it’s ready for full use. For driveways, we typically recommend waiting 24–48 hours before parking vehicles. For commercial lots, we’ll provide a customized schedule based on expected traffic.
We also provide tips for long-term care, including:
And if you ever have questions down the road, we’re just a call away.
