Strip Mall Paving
Commercial strip mall paving in Allen, TX
As a general contractor working directly with developers and property owners, we deliver strip mall paving services for commercial and industrial properties throughout Allen, TX and the DFW metroplex. No subcontracting, just our experienced crews, your project, and clear accountability.
Service Overview
Strip mall and retail center paving serves a dual purpose: supporting daily traffic from customers and delivery vehicles while projecting a professional image that attracts tenants and shoppers. In the competitive North Texas retail market, the condition of your parking lot directly affects occupancy rates and rent premiums.
Our strip mall paving projects address the complete site: parking areas, drive aisles, pedestrian sidewalks, ADA-compliant access routes, and service areas. We coordinate with civil engineers on drainage, work around existing tenants during rehabilitation projects, and deliver surfaces that maintain appearance under constant use.
Traffic flow optimization is a key consideration for retail paving. We design drive aisle widths, parking configurations, and turning radii to maximize parking count while ensuring easy navigation. ADA requirements integrate throughout, from accessible parking spaces near entries to compliant routes connecting parking to building entrances.
For existing retail centers, we offer rehabilitation programs that replace failing sections, upgrade ADA compliance, and refresh the property's appearance without requiring complete reconstruction. Phased construction maintains tenant access and minimizes business disruption throughout the project.

Common Project Situations
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about strip mall paving
How do you minimize disruption to tenants during parking lot replacement?
We develop phased construction plans that maintain access to all tenants throughout the project. Typically, we work in sections, completing one area fully before moving to the next, so tenants and customers always have parking available. Night work and weekend pours can further reduce impact.
What is the difference between asphalt and concrete for retail parking lots?
Concrete has higher initial cost but typically lasts 25-30 years with minimal maintenance, while asphalt requires seal coating and crack filling every few years. In North Texas heat, asphalt softens and deforms under heavy traffic, making concrete preferred for retail centers expecting delivery trucks.
Do you handle the striping and signage?
We coordinate with striping contractors as part of our turnkey service. Parking layouts, ADA markings, fire lane designations, and directional arrows are all completed before we turn over the property.
Can you upgrade ADA compliance on an existing retail center?
Yes. Many older retail centers were built to previous ADA standards or have developed compliance issues over time. We assess current conditions, design improvements to meet current standards, and implement upgrades as part of rehabilitation projects.
How long does strip mall parking lot replacement take?
Timeline depends on lot size and whether we are working around active tenants. A 40,000 SF strip center parking lot typically requires 4-6 weeks for complete replacement with phased construction. Accelerated schedules are possible for vacant properties.
