Driveway Paving in Union, NJ
Free Estimates - Licensed & Insured

Union Township is a specific municipality inside Union County, NJ. Union County contains 21 total municipalities including Elizabeth, Westfield, Summit, Plainfield, and Linden. When a homeowner calls about 'Union NJ sealcoating,' they almost always mean Union Township (population around 59,000). When a property manager calls about 'Union County,' they often mean multiple properties spread across the county. We serve both — our team covers every one of the 21 Union County municipalities and all of Union Township's named neighborhoods.

Most Union Township residential driveways land between $200 and $500 for a full sealcoat. A standard 2-car driveway (roughly 400-500 sq ft) runs $225-$325 with one coat, or $300-$425 with a double coat, which is what we recommend for Union's freeze-thaw exposure. Long driveways in Putnam Manor or Battle Hill that run 800-1,200 sq ft typically price $425-$650. If the driveway has cracks that need filling first, add $75-$200 for a typical residential crack-fill scope. All quotes include a free in-person walk-through and a written estimate.

Yes, Route 22 is one of our most-worked commercial corridors. Route 22 (the big east-west highway through Union) is lined with retail pads, chain restaurants, auto dealerships, strip centers, big-box lots, and the Union Plaza complex. The shared characteristic: huge asphalt surface area, constant 18-wheeler and delivery traffic, and tight turnaround windows because the businesses cannot close during the day. Route 22 commercial work typically runs as phased sealcoating where we split the lot into sections and work nights/weekends so traffic and deliveries keep flowing. For larger Route 22 campuses, we can mobilize two crews and finish a 50,000+ sq ft lot in a single weekend.

Late April through mid-October is the Union Township sealcoating window. Our best conditions are May through September when daytime highs stay above 65°F and overnight lows hold above 50°F — that gives the sealer the right temperature range to bond with the asphalt and cure properly. We do not seal within 24 hours of rain because moisture under the coat will blister. For Union residential, most homeowners book in the May-June window (before summer vacation travel) or the September-early October window (after Labor Day). Commercial Route 22 and Union Center work runs all season.

Yes. Union Township has a large apartment and condo inventory — complexes around Morris Avenue, Stuyvesant Avenue, and the Kean University perimeter. We work directly with property managers, condo associations, and HOAs on recurring sealcoat, crack-fill, and restripe contracts. Most of our multi-family Union clients are on a 30-month seal cycle and an annual crack-fill walk-through. We also handle ADA-compliant restriping, fire lane layout, and reserved-space markings when management needs them updated.

Yes, we handle Union Township permit applications as part of any project that requires them. Routine sealcoating and restriping of an existing lot does not typically require a construction permit. However, new pavement, apron work, drainage changes, or new ADA layouts go through Union Township's Building Department. We also coordinate with NJDOT when the work touches Route 22 or Route 82 aprons. Our NJ contractor license is #13VH05983700 and we carry $1M+ general liability insurance with certificates issued to clients on request.

Every 2-3 years for a typical Union Township driveway. Shorter end of that range (24-30 months) if your driveway gets full sun all day, has heavy vehicle weight (trucks, SUVs, multiple cars), or shows UV fade within the first 18 months. Longer end (36 months) if the driveway is shaded, lightly used, and recently installed. Union winters put roughly 55-65 freeze-thaw cycles on an asphalt surface per season — enough to open any unfilled crack but not as harsh as downtown Newark. A consistent 30-month sealcoat cycle with crack fill as needed extends a properly installed Union driveway to 20+ years.

Kean University-adjacent commercial lots — Morris Avenue retail, the student-service storefronts, off-campus housing complexes — see much higher parking turnover than typical Union commercial. That means striping wears faster, oil drips are heavier (students' older vehicles), and the ADA spaces see harder use. We typically run Kean-area commercial clients on a 30-month restripe cycle and a 24-30 month sealcoat cycle, versus the 36-month standard for quieter Union commercial lots. Summer work is ideal because the campus population drops dramatically between mid-May and late August.
