Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Novi. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Novi is one of the busiest commercial centres in Oakland County, with Twelve Oaks Mall, the retail and restaurant corridors along Novi Road, Grand River and Haggerty, and office and light industrial parks clustered around I-96 and M-5. Behind all of that are large residential subdivisions, many built from the 1980s onward, where a well-kept driveway is part of the neighbourhood standard.
For Novi businesses, Asphalt Express LLC provides full parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping, planned so the lot stays open and customers keep parking. Large retail lots are usually phased; smaller office lots can often be done in a day or over a weekend. For homeowners, the typical job is a driveway resurface or replacement on a home that is now 30 to 40 years old and has reached the end of its original surface.
We have worked in Novi for over 30 years, through most of its growth, and the owner supervises every job.
Every service we offer is available in Novi. Commercial and industrial lots are a large part of what we do here, and homeowners get the same owner-supervised crew on their driveways.
New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. In Novi that ranges from a single driveway to a complete commercial parking lot built for daily traffic.
Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. Novi's commercial and industrial lots are a large part of what we do: phased paving, heavier construction where trucks run, and striping to finish.
Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. For Novi commercial lots we put sealcoating and crack filling on a schedule so small problems never become base failures.
A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. For a Novi lot with a sound base, resurfacing delivers a new wearing course with minimal downtime.
Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. Novi's residential neighbourhoods get the same owner-supervised crew as our commercial work.
Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For overflow parking, yards and storage areas in Novi, millings provide a solid surface without the cost of hot mix.
Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. For a Novi lot that has been patched for decades, replacement is often better value than another round of repairs.
Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface levelling and line striping for existing lots. For Novi's busy commercial lots that means fast response to potholes and failures before they become liabilities.
Novi's ground is predominantly clay, with wetter, lower areas near Walled Lake, Shawood Lake and the Rouge River headwaters. Clay holds water and heaves in winter, so a compacted aggregate base and good surface drainage are essential on every driveway and lot we build here.
On commercial properties, traffic is as much a factor as weather. Drive lanes, entrance aprons and areas near loading doors and dumpster pads wear fastest, and we often recommend heavier construction there than across the parking stalls. A maintenance cycle of annual crack filling and sealcoating every two to three years keeps a Novi lot out of the resurfacing budget for many years.
Seasonal weight restrictions and road standards in Oakland County are set by the Road Commission for Oakland County; 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.
Commercial lots fail at the base and at the drains. The owner checks both before the paver arrives and supervises the finish and the striping.
Three decades of paving for Southeast Michigan businesses. Many of our Novi commercial customers have been with us through several resurfacing cycles.
We assess the lot, tell you what it needs and what can wait, and price phased work so you can plan the budget.
Heavier construction at entrances, drive lanes and loading areas, and a maintenance schedule that keeps the lot out of the resurfacing budget.
We serve all of Novi, including the commercial districts around Twelve Oaks, Novi Road, Grand River, Haggerty and the I-96 and M-5 interchanges, the office and industrial parks near Meadowbrook and Cabot, and the residential subdivisions off Ten Mile, Eleven Mile, Beck Road, Wixom Road and Taft.

The questions Novi property owners ask us most, answered honestly.
Yes. We phase large lots so part of the parking is always open, and we can schedule sections for overnight or weekend work where that suits the business.
It depends on the base. If the base is sound, a resurface restores it for much less. If it has failed, we will say so and quote removal and replacement. We assess before we quote.
It depends on size and phasing. Small lots can be done over a weekend; large lots are phased over several days so parking stays available. We agree the plan with you before we start.
Yes. We routinely schedule evenings and weekends for Novi businesses so the lot stays open when you need it.
Yes. Every estimate is free. We assess the lot, tell you what it needs and what can wait, and price it honestly.
