After all, a wise businessperson knows that proper budgeting and construction cost analyses are critical steps towards protecting a company\u2019s overall bottom line. Here at ACI Asphalt &amp; Concrete, we take your budget seriously by generating precision bids and estimates for paving work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the price per square foot, there are several factors that will influence the rate, including the size of the lot, location, scope of work, and much more. On-site evaluation can give our commercial paving contractors better insight on how much your road construction or pavement work will cost per square foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Is Asphalt Better Than Concrete?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to new construction work, property owners always want to know if they should go with asphalt or concrete. The answer really depends on personal preference and intended function of the paved surface. Asphalt and concrete are both quality paving materials that last a long time with good care. Asphalt is generally preferred for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/services\/parking-lots.php\" target=\"_blank\">parking lots<\/a> and driveways because of its brilliant luster and appearance. Asphalt will last up to twenty years with good maintenance, only requiring periodic <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/how-asphalt-crack-filling-protects-your-investment\" target=\"_blank\">crack filling<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/services\/sealcoating.php\" target=\"_blank\">sealcoating<\/a>, and perhaps an overlay or two within that time period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concrete is a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/what-is-permeable-pavement\/\" target=\"_blank\">permeable pavement<\/a>, and therefore more prone to surface damages. But it is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/is-concrete-cheaper-than-asphalt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost-effective<\/a>, generally cheaper than asphalt, and a great paving material for applications like flooring, sidewalks, curbs, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/choose-aci-for-bollard-post-services-in-indiana\" target=\"_blank\">bollards<\/a>, patios, terraces, pool decking, and more. One of our certified Indianapolis paving contractors can help you decide on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/which-paving-material-performs-better-in-winter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best paving material<\/a> for your intended application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Can You Pave Asphalt Over Concrete?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of our first-time commercial paving clients want to cover up an old concrete surface with fresh asphalt. Yes; you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/can-you-pave-asphalt-over-concrete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pave asphalt over concrete<\/a>, so long as you choose the right Indianapolis commercial paving company. Here at ACI Asphalt &amp; Concrete, we use the latest technologies and top-of-the-line materials to implement all paving projects in accordance with all project details and specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">How Long Does It Take for Pavement to Cure Completely?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of our commercial paving clients are eager to know how long they have to stay off of a freshly paved surface before they can start using it again. The answer really depends on the type of paving material, plus several other factors, such as regional temperatures, climate conditions, surrounding landscaping, water drainage, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, new asphalt takes anywhere from 2 to 3 days to completely cure. Three months after new asphalt has been paved, it should be sealcoated. After sealcoating, you must wait at least 24 hours before using the pavement. Concrete requires around the same amount of time to cure, but sometimes longer depending on the factors mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">How Often Do I Need to Seal My Asphalt Lot?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have new asphalt paved, you must wait 90 days or so before having it sealcoated. It is recommended to reseal asphalt every 3 to 4 months for optimal protection and longevity. Sealcoating is one of the most important steps towards maintaining a functional and appealing asphalt lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Why Choose ACI Asphalt &amp; Concrete?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x2728; Over 30 Years of Experience<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x2728; A+ BBB Rating<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x2728; Licensed, Bonded &amp; Insured<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x2728; Free Estimates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x2728; 100% Honesty &amp; Integrity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x2728; Commercial &amp; Industrial<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x2728; Satisfaction Guarantee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#x2728; Cutting-Edge Technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Do you have more questions about your commercial or industrial paving needs<\/strong>? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact us<\/a> at 317-549-1833 to speak with a licensed and insured company manager, today.
