Commercial Asphalt Milling and Patching Services in Michigan, Precision Resurfacing Built to Last

Your pavement is deteriorating quietly, especially because you’re in Michigan. Surface cracks let water in. Freeze-thaw cycles force them wider. By the time drainage issues and trip hazards appear, the damaged pavement layers run far deeper than any patch can fix.

Bart’s Asphalt provides commercial asphalt milling and patching services across Southeast Michigan that you can trust.

Keep Customers Safe. Stop Potholes From Costing You Money.

Potholes in your parking lot or drive lanes are more than ugly—they’re a liability, a safety risk, and a bad first impression for your business. Our commercial pothole patching crews repair damage fast, minimize downtime, and leave you with a smooth, professional-looking surface your customers will actually feel.

4.9★ Rating from 62+ Reviews

At Bart’s Asphalt, we are dedicated to customer satisfaction. We take pride in delivering exceptional results on every commercial asphalt milling and patching project. Property owners across Southeast Michigan praise our quality, reliability, and the lasting performance of our work. Our clients are our biggest advocates. Here is what they have to say:

Your Pavement Is Getting Worse Right Now

Well-maintained pavement does not fail overnight. It deteriorates in stages. Each stage costs more to address than the last. When pavement shows signs of cracking, rutting, or standing water, the damaged pavement layers beneath are already compromised.

When you ignore it, it leads to potholes, drainage issues, and eventually full replacement, the most costly outcome any property owner can face. Milling and resurfacing at the right time stops that cycle. Waiting until a full replacement is the only option, which costs 3x-4x times as much.

Our Commercial Asphalt Milling and Paving Services

Bart’s Asphalt is a leading asphalt milling company and trusted paving contractor across Southeast Michigan. We offer a full range of commercial asphalt milling services for parking lots, private roads, loading docks, and industrial facilities.

Commercial Asphalt Milling

Cold planer milling removes deteriorated asphalt to a precise depth. The result is a clean, textured bonding surface for the new asphalt overlay, the essential first step for resurfacing that achieves smooth, lasting performance on commercial parking lots.

Asphalt Overlay and Resurfacing

A fresh layer of MDOT-specification hot mix asphalt is applied over the milled surface. This restores proper grade, corrects drainage issues, and delivers a smooth finish across the entire paved surface. Built for heavy traffic flow and Michigan winters.

Partial Depth Patching

Targeted removal and replacement of damaged pavement layers where deterioration has not reached full depth. A cost effective alternative to full resurfacing when damage is localized and the subbase remains structurally sound.

Asphalt Repair and Pothole Patching

Permanent asphalt repair for potholes and localized failures. Full-depth excavation, industrial tack coat, and virgin hot mix asphalt compacted to MDOT specifications. The right repair method for high traffic areas and heavy commercial loads.

Line Striping and ADA Compliance

Fresh parking lot markings, ADA compliant parking lot layouts, and directional arrows that guide traffic safely. Keeps your commercial property meeting current accessibility and code requirements.

Crack Sealing and Sealcoating

Hot-pour rubberized crack sealing fills existing cracks before water gets in. Premium sealcoating shields new asphalt surfaces from UV damage and chemical breakdown. Together they extend pavement life between resurfacing cycles and preserve curb appeal.

Our Commercial Asphalt Milling and Patching Process

At Bart’s Asphalt, our focus is on results that stand up to Michigan winters. From site assessment through final inspection, we use the advanced equipment we own and operate. Precision work at every stage for lasting performance.

Step 1

Site assessment and pavement evaluation. Our paving experts inspect your existing pavement and evaluate base condition, drainage, and the full extent of surface deterioration. We identify whether milling and resurfacing or full replacement is the right approach. A detailed written estimate is provided before any work begins.

Step 2

Cold planer milling of the damaged layer. Advanced milling equipment removes the top layer of deteriorated asphalt to a precise, consistent depth. The result is a clean, textured surface that bonds correctly with the new asphalt layer. Old material is milled away without damaging the subbase and recycled as an environmentally friendly alternative to disposal.

Step 3

Tack coat application and asphalt paving. A uniform tack coat is applied across the milled surface to ensure full bonding with the fresh layer of hot mix asphalt. New asphalt is then laid using commercial paving equipment. We achieve a smooth surface at the proper grade with attention to drainage slope, traffic flow, and edge transitions.

Step 4

Compaction, finishing, and final inspection. Vibratory rollers compact the new asphalt to MDOT density specifications. Air voids are eliminated, and the result is a smooth finish built for heavy commercial traffic. We walk the completed surface with you, verify grade and drainage, and mark the project complete only when you are satisfied.

How Commercial Asphalt Milling Protects Your Property

Commercial asphalt milling services protect your property in ways patching alone cannot. Putting new asphalt over damaged pavement without milling will cause drainage problems and early failure.

A trusted paving contractor assesses subbase condition first. They mill to the correct depth. They deliver a cost-effective solution matched to the actual extent of damage, not a generic approach that leads to costly repairs again within a shorter window.

We use advanced equipment and asphalt mix materials engineered for Michigan’s freeze-thaw demands. Proper milling depth and tack coat application separate long-term performance from paved surfaces that fail prematurely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We’re happy to help.

Do I need a permit for milling and patching my commercial parking lot in Lansing?

Yes. The City of Lansing requires a commercial paving permit before work begins. You’ll need a scaled survey of existing conditions and a detailed drawing of the proposed paving layout. If your project affects stormwater drainage, separate approval from the city’s drainage authority is also required. Bart’s Asphalt handles permit coordination as part of every project.

What thickness of asphalt does Michigan code require for a commercial parking lot?

Michigan requires a minimum of 3 inches of bituminous asphalt, applied in two lifts of 1.5 inches each, over 8 inches of compacted crushed aggregate base. Asphalt below this spec won’t pass inspection. The standard binder grade for Michigan commercial parking lots is PG 58-28, engineered specifically for freeze-thaw performance.

When is the best time to mill and patch a parking lot in Lansing?

April through November, when temperatures stay consistently above 50°F for proper hot mix asphalt curing. Spring is peak season because it reveals the full extent of winter freeze-thaw damage. Bart’s Asphalt also offers evening and weekend scheduling to minimize disruption to your customers and employees.

How long does commercial milling and patching take?

Timeline depends on lot size and base condition. A standard parking lot sealcoating can be completed in 1-2 days, while full parking lot reconstruction may take 5-10 days depending on weather and size. We provide specific timelines in every estimate so you can plan around your operations.

What's the difference between milling and overlay vs. full reconstruction?

Milling removes the damaged top layer and replaces it with fresh hot mix asphalt, restoring proper grade, fixing drainage issues, and extending pavement life without rebuilding from scratch. Full reconstruction removes everything down to the base and starts over. We assess your base condition first and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your lot and your budget.

Does Bart's Asphalt offer emergency asphalt repair?

Yes. When a sinkhole or pothole threatens safety, our crews mobilize anytime, day or night, to protect your property fast. Parking lot emergencies that put customers, employees, or visitors at risk don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. We’re available 24/7 for urgent commercial repairs across the Lansing metro.
