What Lombard Property Managers Should Know Before Starting a Paving Project

A paving project is a big investment for any Lombard business. Getting it right means asking the right questions before any work begins. The first thing to ask a contractor is whether they carry proper insurance and licensing for commercial work in DuPage County. Ask to see proof. A company that hesitates to show you their coverage is a company you should walk away from.

Lombard has its own permit requirements for parking lot construction and major repairs. The Village of Lombard building department reviews projects that involve new paving, significant resurfacing, or changes to drainage. Your contractor should handle the permit process for you. If they tell you that permits are not needed for a large-scale paving job, that is a red flag. Commercial asphalt paving in Lombard, IL follows local codes and skipping permits creates legal problems down the road.

Timing matters more than most property managers realize. The best months for paving in the Chicago suburbs are May through October. Asphalt plants run at full capacity during this window. Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air temperatures to compact properly. A job done in November with cold pavement will not hold up the way a summer installation does. Book your project early in the season to get the best scheduling and pricing.

If your Lombard property has tenants, plan the work around their needs. Talk to your tenants before the project starts. Let them know which sections of the lot will be closed and for how long. A good contractor will phase the work so that part of the lot stays open at all times. We always create a traffic management plan for Lombard properties with active tenants so that businesses keep running during construction.

When you receive estimates, compare them carefully. The cheapest bid often leaves out important details like base preparation, proper drainage, or quality materials. Ask each contractor what asphalt mix they plan to use, how thick the base and surface layers will be, and whether striping is included. Commercial asphalt paving in Lombard, IL should come with a clear written scope of work. If the estimate is vague, the finished product probably will be too.

We give every Lombard property manager a detailed written proposal that covers materials, thickness specs, drainage plans, timeline, and cost. No surprises and no hidden fees. Request your free estimate and see the difference that a clear plan makes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Parking Lot Striping in Lombard

How many ADA handicap spaces does my Lombard parking lot need?
The number depends on your total parking count. For lots with 1 to 25 spaces, you need 1 accessible space. Lots with 26 to 50 spaces need 2. Between 51 and 75, you need 3, and lots with 76 to 100 need 4. At least one in every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible with an 8-foot access aisle. Lombard properties must also follow Illinois Accessibility Code rules, which can be stricter than federal ADA guidelines in some cases.
What time of year is best for parking lot striping in Lombard?
The best time for striping in Lombard is late spring through early fall, when temperatures stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit and rain chances are lower. Paint needs dry, warm pavement to bond properly. We can stripe newly sealcoated surfaces in Lombard after a 24-hour cure time. For thermoplastic markings, we recommend summer months for the strongest adhesion.
How long does parking lot striping take for a typical Lombard commercial lot?
Most Lombard commercial lots with 50 to 150 spaces take one day to stripe completely. Larger lots with 200 or more spaces may take two days. We schedule the work during off-peak hours to reduce impact on your customers and tenants. Traffic paint dries within 30 minutes, so your Lombard lot can reopen quickly after we finish each section.
