LICENSED ASPHALT PAVING IN SAN MATEO
San Mateo Asphalt Co. is operated by We Love Paving, Inc. (CSLB #1049649, DIR #1000590190, CA CARRIER #571708). We handle commercial asphalt installation, full-depth reclamation and pavement restoration in San Mateo and San Mateo County.
Commercial Pavement Performance and Soil Load Management
Commercial properties in San Mateo put pavement under constant stress from heavy delivery trucks and daily parking turnover. In San Mateo, bay-side moisture and winter rain make drainage the first thing to get right; sun and traffic take care of the rest. Left alone, alligator cracking and base failure spread fast and cost more every season.

Our estimators measure slopes, check the base and put together a written commercial paving proposal for your San Mateo property.
Precision Engineering and Structural Asphalt Standards
We execute commercial paving projects using Caltrans-specified hot mix asphalt (HMA) formulations, precise vibratory compaction techniques, and engineered slope angles to optimize load dispersion and water runoff. Our operational methodology minimizes downtime for operating commercial facilities.

- Vibratory Compaction
- Class 2 Base

This Is What Our Clients Say About Our Work
Hot Mix Asphalt Overlays and Surface Milling Execution
Parking lots and access drives in San Mateo often show oxidation, raveling and water intrusion before the base itself fails. In those cases milling and a new asphalt overlay restore the surface at a fraction of the cost of full reconstruction.
Stormwater Drainage and CA Title 24 ADA Paving
Commercial lots in San Mateo have to control runoff to meet local stormwater requirements. Standing water breaks down the asphalt binder quickly, so we set the slopes and drains to move water off the surface and away from the base.

Parking Lot Problems Need More Than a Quick Patch
Cracks, potholes, faded striping, drainage problems and ADA access issues make a property look neglected and increase safety risks.
We give San Mateo property owners a clear path to the right fix: repair, sealcoat, restripe, resurface or replace.
Common Questions From San Mateo Property Owners
Answers to the questions people ask before requesting an asphalt or parking lot estimate.
How does San Mateo's climate affect commercial asphalt?
In San Mateo, bay-side moisture and winter rain make drainage the first thing to get right; sun and traffic take care of the rest. Proper compaction during paving and a sealcoat every few years slow that process down and protect the binder.
What permits are required for commercial paving in San Mateo?
Work that touches the public right-of-way, curb cuts or utility connections usually needs a permit from the city or county where the property is located. On-site parking lot work often does not, but ADA and drainage changes still have to meet code. We check requirements for your address before we quote.
What base preparation does my parking lot need?
It depends on the soil and on how the lot fails today. Where the subgrade is weak or holds water, we remove the unsuitable material, stabilize it and compact a new aggregate base before paving, so the new surface does not crack the same way the old one did.
How do you keep ADA compliance during an overlay on a San Mateo property?
During overlay operations, existing asphalt near accessible stalls is cold-milled down to control absolute elevation. We utilize laser screeds during paving to ensure ADA parking spaces and access aisles do not exceed the strictly enforced 2.0% maximum slope in any direction required by California Title 24.
Can paving be staged so my San Mateo business stays open?
Yes. We execute commercial projects in planned phases, utilizing fast-setting Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) formulations when necessary. Work is scheduled during off-peak hours, weekends, or overnight to preserve customer parking access and delivery dock operations for San Mateo facilities.
What drainage solutions prevent asphalt failure?
We set cross-slopes that move water to catch basins and away from the pavement edge, and where it makes sense we add drain inlets or permeable sections. Keeping water out of the base is the single biggest factor in how long a parking lot lasts.
