COMMERCIAL PAVING IN SUNNYVALE
Commercial Asphalt & Concrete Contractor Serving Sunnyvale Since 2014.
Sunnyvale’s commercial pavement is mostly big and busy: office and R&D campuses in Moffett Park and along Mathilda Avenue, Central Expressway and Lawrence Expressway, shopping centers on El Camino Real, apartment communities, and light industrial and flex buildings with loading docks. These lots carry heavy weekday commuter traffic and a steady stream of delivery trucks.
Cato’s Paving works with the property managers, HOA boards and facility teams who look after these sites. Our crews come down from our Hayward yard and plan large jobs in phases so tenants keep working.
From crack sealing and sealcoating to restriping and full parking lot reconstruction, we handle asphalt paving, repairs, concrete and ADA upgrades with one crew and one point of contact.

How We Handle Sunnyvale Projects
On office campuses and shopping centers, closing the whole lot is rarely an option. We walk the site with you, split the lot into sections, and schedule the work so each phase leaves enough parking, fire lane access and entrances open. For office properties, much of the work can happen on weekends when the lot is nearly empty.
Big, flat lots hide drainage problems. Where water ponds after a rain, the pavement underneath breaks down first, so we check grades and drain inlets before we repair, overlay or seal.
You get a written proposal and a schedule before any work begins.

Built for Sunnyvale's Commercial Properties
Sunnyvale’s hot, dry summers and strong sun oxidize asphalt and turn it brittle, which is why regular sealcoating pays off on large lots. Wide, flat parking areas let water pond wherever the grade is slightly off, and loading docks and truck routes take far more weight than the stalls around them. Mature trees along older lots push roots under curbs and walkways. We plan each job around those conditions and around the tenants who still need to park every day.

Common Pavement Problems
Raveling
Raveling occurs when asphalt begins losing surface aggregate, leaving the pavement rough, loose, and increasingly vulnerable to damage. Sun exposure, aging, heavy traffic, and worn binder can accelerate this deterioration. Early maintenance helps restore surface protection before the pavement weakens and requires more extensive repairs.
Oil Damage
Oil, fuel, and automotive fluids can soften asphalt binder and cause the pavement surface to break apart prematurely. Commercial parking stalls, loading areas, and drive lanes are especially vulnerable. Cleaning spills and repairing damaged areas early helps prevent surface deterioration from spreading into surrounding pavement.
Cracking
Cracks develop as asphalt ages, expands, contracts, and carries repeated vehicle traffic. Even small openings allow rainwater to penetrate the pavement and weaken the supporting base. Sealing cracks early helps prevent moisture damage, potholes, and larger structural failures throughout commercial parking lots and access roads.
Faded Striping
Parking lot markings fade from sunlight, vehicle traffic, surface wear, and repeated cleaning. Poor visibility can confuse drivers, reduce traffic organization, weaken curb appeal, and create accessibility concerns. Regular restriping keeps parking stalls, fire lanes, loading zones, and directional markings clear and professional.
Alligator Cracking
Alligator cracking appears as interconnected cracks that resemble reptile skin and usually signals failure beneath the asphalt surface. Poor drainage, weakened base materials, and repeated heavy vehicle loads are common causes. These areas often require removal and replacement rather than surface sealing alone.
Drainage Issues
Standing water often indicates poor grading, blocked drains, or low areas within the pavement. Repeated water exposure weakens asphalt and base materials, leading to cracks, potholes, and premature failure. Correcting drainage problems helps protect the pavement structure and improve safety around commercial properties.
Potholes
Potholes form when water enters pavement cracks, weakens the underlying base, and combines with repeated vehicle traffic. Heavy trucks, aging asphalt, poor drainage, and delayed repairs can accelerate their development. Prompt patching helps reduce vehicle damage, trip hazards, liability, and further pavement deterioration.
ADA Compliance Issues
Faded accessible markings, missing signage, damaged ramps, uneven surfaces, and improper slopes can create barriers for visitors and increase legal exposure. Routine inspections and timely upgrades help commercial properties maintain safer access through compliant parking stalls, signage, striping, curb ramps, and paths of travel.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Cato’s Paving works on commercial properties only: office campuses, shopping centers, apartment communities, industrial sites and other commercial properties in Sunnyvale and across the Bay Area.
It depends on the size of the area, the condition of the base underneath, and whether the job is a repair, an overlay or a full reconstruction. Large lots often cost less per square foot. We give free on site estimates with a written scope so you can compare options. Our California parking lot paving cost guide explains what drives the price.
