Family-owned · Paving the Twin Cities since 1995
Your parking lot is your property’s first impression. For 30+ years, Ace Asphalt has paved lots for business parks, schools, churches, and retail centers across the Twin Cities — smooth, durable, and built for Minnesota winters.
No pressure, no surprises — we call within one business day.
From new construction to milling & resurfacing, repairs, and striping — one experienced crew handles it start to finish, tailored to retail centers, office complexes, and industrial properties.
Proper grading, engineered base, and hot-mix asphalt for brand-new lots of any size.
A cost-effective new surface when your base is still sound — a fraction of full replacement.
Potholes, cracking, and edge breakup fixed before freeze-thaw makes them worse.
Layout, stalls, fire lanes, and ADA-compliant spaces and signage included in your quote.
We’re a locally owned contractor, not a broker. You get one point of contact, phased scheduling that keeps your property open, and a written scope with no surprises.
Free advice we give every prospect — whether you hire us or not. Match what you’re seeing to the right fix and you’ll spend a lot less over the life of your pavement.
Scattered cracks under ¼″, a few potholes, faded striping — but the surface is mostly flat and drains well.
Cheapest option by far. Do it in fall, before water gets in and winter turns cracks into potholes.
Gray, rough asphalt with cracking across large areas — but no sinking, heaving, or standing water.
We grind off the worn surface and lay new asphalt over your sound base — a new lot at a fraction of replacement cost.
Interconnected “alligator” cracking, ruts, standing water, or areas that sink — signs the base itself has failed.
Overlaying a failed base wastes money — the cracks come right back. Tear-out and a new engineered base is the better spend.
New asphalt hardens over its first season. Keep dumpsters and heavy point loads off the edges.
Walk the lot each fall. Filling cracks before winter is the highest-ROI dollar you’ll spend on pavement.
Patch failing areas promptly and restripe every 2–3 years — bright lines are cheap curb appeal and safety.
A well-maintained lot earns a mill & overlay instead of full replacement — plan it into your capital budget early.
Commercial pavement isn’t bought when it breaks — it’s bought when it’s in the budget. Every free lot assessment comes with a written 5-year plan you can take straight into your capital budget meeting: what your pavement will need, when, and roughly what to set aside each year.
We walk and photograph every section of your lot and grade it good / fair / poor, so you know exactly where you stand.
An aerial of your property divided into zones, color-coded by condition — the page your board or committee will remember.
What each zone needs and when — crack seal, restripe, patching, mill & overlay — sequenced so small fixes prevent big ones.
Planning ranges per year — not a bid — so you can set aside the right capital before the work is ever urgent.
A crack you can seal this fall for a few thousand dollars becomes a failed base in two or three winters — and a mill & overlay costing ten times more. The plan shows your board exactly which dollars now save which dollars later. That’s what gets budgets approved.
Most property managers, HOA boards, and facilities directors set next year’s capital budgets in Q4. Book a free assessment in October or November and your pavement plan is in the budget before the 2027 paving season — not competing after it’s set.

It depends on square footage, base condition, drainage, and access. Milling & resurfacing costs a fraction of full reconstruction, which is why we assess the base first. Every estimate is free, written, and good for 30 days.
Usually not. We phase the work in zones so part of your lot stays open, and we schedule around your busiest hours. Most resurfacing jobs are drivable again within days.
Small lots can be milled and resurfaced in a couple of days; full reconstruction of a large lot may run one to two weeks. You’ll get a phased schedule with your quote so you can notify tenants and customers.
With yearly crack filling and prompt patching, 20–30 years in Minnesota. The biggest lifespan factors are base quality and drainage — both engineered into the job on day one.
Yes. Layout, stall striping, fire lanes, and ADA-compliant spaces and signage are included in your quote, so your lot is compliant and ready to open when we leave.
Late spring through early fall — hot-mix asphalt needs warm ground to compact properly. Summer books fast; a spring estimate locks your spot on the schedule.
Tell us about your property and we’ll call within one business day to walk the lot, measure, and give you a written quote — plus your free 5-year pavement capital plan with an honest recommendation on repair vs. resurface vs. rebuild.
