Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Brighton. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Brighton sits where I-96 meets US-23, and that crossroads has made it one of the fastest-growing communities in Livingston County. There is a lively historic downtown around Main Street and the Mill Pond, established neighbourhoods on the city's older streets, and mile after mile of newer subdivisions and larger rural lots spreading out through Brighton Township and Genoa Township.
Asphalt Express LLC has paved in Brighton for over 30 years, through most of that growth. In the city, the work is driveway replacement and resurfacing on established lots and the maintenance of parking lots behind downtown businesses and along Grand River. In the townships it is new and replacement driveways in the subdivisions, long rural drives and private roads on the larger lots, and commercial work along the Grand River and Old US-23 corridors.
The owner is on every Brighton job, from a downtown lot to a long township drive.
Every service we offer is available in Brighton. Most of our work here is residential driveway replacement and resurfacing, but the businesses along the main roads get the same crew and the same standard.
New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. In Brighton that is most often a full driveway replacement on a home that has outlived its original surface.
Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. For Brighton retail, office and service businesses we phase the work so parking is always available and finish with fresh striping.
Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. For a Brighton subdivision driveway, sealing every two to three years is what keeps it out of the replacement budget.
A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. Many Brighton driveways from the 1980s and 90s are candidates: the base is fine, the surface is not.
Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. In Brighton that is mostly driveway replacement and resurfacing in the established subdivisions.
Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For a side drive, RV pad or long approach in Brighton, millings are a practical alternative to full paving.
Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. For a Brighton driveway with alligator cracking and sunken sections, the base has failed and replacement is the right call.
Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface levelling and line striping for existing lots. For Brighton businesses that means potholes fixed quickly, cracks sealed and striping refreshed.
Livingston County ground is glacial and varied, and Brighton is no exception: sandy, well-drained hills in places, wet clay near the lakes and the Huron River in others. A long township drive can cross both, and we build the base for the soft sections. We walk every site before quoting.
New subdivision driveways face the same freeze-thaw cycle as everything else in the county. Sealing a new drive after its first year and keeping it sealed every two to three years is the single best thing you can do to make it last.
Seasonal weight restrictions and road standards in Livingston County are set by the Livingston County Road Commission; for hot-mix specifications we work to the Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan guidance.
We look at the ground, the access and the drainage, and give you a free, honest estimate for what the job actually needs.
Excavate to the right depth, correct soft ground with fabric and aggregate, and compact a base that will not move.
Shape the surface so water sheds away from the house, the lake or the building, and toward ground that can take it.
Hot mix placed at the right temperature and rolled to spec while it is workable, with clean edges and transitions.
Striping where needed, a clean site, and a sealing schedule so the surface stays tight through Michigan winters.
The owner checks the base before the paver arrives and the finish before we leave. That is how our standard stays consistent across hundreds of driveways.
Three decades of paving Southeast Michigan's neighbourhoods. Most of our Brighton work comes from referrals on the same street.
We tell you whether your driveway can be resurfaced or needs replacement, and we will not sell you the bigger job if the smaller one will hold.
Most Brighton driveways are completed in a single day, with the approach, sidewalk and lawn protected and the site left clean.
We serve the City of Brighton, Brighton Township and Genoa Township, including downtown and the neighbourhoods off Main Street, Grand River, Brighton Road and Rickett Road, the subdivisions toward Hartland and Howell, the lake properties on Brighton Lake, Woodland Lake, Lake Chemung and the Island Lake area, and the commercial corridors along Grand River and Old US-23.
