Tacoma’sPremier Asphalt & ConcreteService and Repair Contractor

When it comes to parking lot repair in Tacoma WA, Rainier Asphalt & Concrete is the trusted paving company. We’ve been paving and repairing parking lots, driveways, and all kinds of pavement over the entire Puget Sound area. We recently helped a commercial business owner in Tacoma with their parking lot, which was suffering from many problems associated with gravel pavement.

Using gravel to pave an area sounds like a good idea to many property owners because the initial application is cheap, but gravel is just not a good pavement material for an area that sees lots of traffic, such as this Tacoma area lot. This was a materials handling business, and forklifts carrying heavy materials were driving over the lot continuously. This made the gravel surface uneven, and it was also waterlogged, which made it more unstable. On his way to work one day, the business owner saw the Rainier Asphalt & Concrete crew working on another paving project. Seeing the quality of the work, he called our office.

We got out to the site quickly to determine the best paving method for his commercial property. The Rainier Asphalt & Concrete paving expert assessed the site and discussed paving options with the property owner. He decided on asphalt installation beginning to create stable pavement from the ground up. First, we graded the area and installed a new gravel sub-base. Next, we installed a layer of asphalt thick enough to withstand heavy loads and frequent traffic.

We completed the job despite cold temperatures, coming in under budget. The customer was very pleased with the overall results and the savings. For this level of service, contact Rainier Asphalt & Concrete!

Rainier Asphalt & Concrete was recently contacted by a local lumber yard owner in need of asphalt repair. His commercial property had many areas of sunken and damaged asphalt, which was having a negative effect on their business. Not only was the broken pavement damaging their forklifts, but it was also negatively affecting their customer experience. This business owner is smart to know that smooth, safe commercial pavement is a great way to showcase a more professional image to their customer and increase their safety.

Because they’d gotten successful commercial paving work from us, they knew the Tacoma WA Rainier Asphalt & Concrete crew could help them improve their asphalt pavement and keep their employees and customers safe. We decided on asphalt patching services that involved removing the damaged areas of pavement and replacing it with new asphalt that is compacted to match the level of the existing parking lot.

This Tacoma WA parking lot repair project presented certain challenges. First, this asphalt patching job required execution on a Sunday to avoid business interruptions. On top of that, it rained over several weekends, which required rescheduling multiple times. We stayed in close touch with the customer and were finally able to execute it. They were very pleased with our communication throughout the process. The work was also installed during a period of rapid increases in oil prices, and we were able to navigate with two of our suppliers to keep the price to our customer the same. We have now completed eight projects for this customer and they recent sent us two more contracts!

Rainier Asphalt & Concrete, Tacoma WA’s premier paving company, is proud to help commercial property owners all over the Puget Sound area fix their parking lots without destroying their budgets. We were recently contacted by the property manager for an apartment complex in the South Puget Sound area of Washington, and we were happy to help.

After a detailed pavement inspection, we uncovered 22 areas of broken curbing ranging from 20 to 120 feet long, including some complicated curved curb designs. They were worried about the cost of replacing these curved curbs because traditional preformed curbs can be expensive to install. Luckily, we keep up with the latest in paving technologies at Rainier Asphalt & Concrete, and we have an extruded concrete curbing machine that can install these kinds of curbs in no time!

First, we removed multiple areas of concrete curbs that were damaged due to root growth and deterioration over time due to traffic and weather. The existing concrete curb was no longer holding back the landscape, and they just weren’t aesthetically pleasing to the eye, turning off potential tenants. The apartment complex wanted to fix the damaged areas of curbing to give the overall property a nicer look and improve property values.

The Tacoma WA Rainier Asphalt & Concrete crew replaced the broken areas with new extruded concrete curbs that looked uniform throughout the facility. We also repaired the broken asphalt around the curbs and improved the look of the entire parking lot.

An Olympia WA commercial property owner had some serious problems with their parking lot, and at first they weren’t sure where to turn. With lots of fly by night asphalt paving companies, it can be tempting to call any name from the phone book, but one of the happy customers from Rainier Asphalt & Concrete’s Tacoma WA branch helped out their neighbor and recommended us. We happily went out to the site to inspect this Olympia WA parking lot.

After consulting with the property owner, we decided that their commercial pavement needed concrete repairs to some broken curbs and installation of new curbs using our extruded concrete curbing machine in addition to curb painting. We then refreshed their parking lot with a sealcoating and line striping services to make it look brand new.

Curbing is very important for protecting both landscaping and asphalt pavement. Without curbs lining your pavement, it can get edge deterioration because it’s subject to stresses from water, dirt, and vegetation. A concrete curb will hold down the asphalt edge as well as keep landscaping in check. The new extruded concrete curb technology allows us to install seamless curbing as well as curbs in curved lines without the time and expense of concrete forms.

Our new Olympia WA commercial paving customer loved their new curbs, especially with their bright color. They were so impressed that they invited us back for a second contract to do more curbing this year.

Rainier Asphalt & Concrete, Federal Way WA’s premier paving company, has completed a lot of different asphalt paving jobs in different industries. Recently we were contact by a property manager we’d worked with before to help out a homeowners association that had many different areas of broken asphalt pavement and curbs.

This asphalt repair work had been put off for years because the HOA couldn't find a pavement repair contractor to act as a teammate. Their asphalt was broken in front of many homes, and residents were starting to look for single asphalt repair solutions to their broken pavement instead of working together within the HOA to fix the whole subdivision. But the HOA came to the right place for help, Rainier Asphalt & Concrete.

We were doing a lot of work that tied into driveways so communication was key for people to make arrangements prior to our arrival. We worked with the HOA to develop a comprehensive phasing plan that could be easily distributed to the homes. Our asphalt repair plan worked for all residents and had daily updates on progress throughout the project.

So what did we do for the Federal Way HOA? We fixed broken pavement as well as used our state of the art extruded curbing system to repair 24 broken concrete curbs throughout the homeowners association, working around drainage systems and creating curved curbing without the expense of premade curbs. The HOA loved their new concrete curbs and thought that the team was professional.

They said that they'll use Rainier Asphalt & Concrete for all their future paving needs. What about you?
