Asphalt Paving in Seaside Heights, NJ

Asphalt paving in Seaside Heights follows the calendar. The borough had 2,440 year-round residents in 2020 but 2,870 housing units, and 60 percent of them were vacant at census time, a sign of how many homes are summer houses and rentals. Driveways, parking pads and small lots here get pounded in July and August and sit quiet the rest of the year.

Off-season work

For rentals and summer homes, the time to repave, repair or seal is fall through spring, when the weather allows. Sealcoating needs dry days above about 50 degrees, so late spring and early fall are the sweet spots. We can schedule work while owners are away and send photos when it is done.

After Sandy and the fire

Sandy flooded much of the borough in 2012 and sent Casino Pier's roller coaster into the ocean. Less than a year later, in September 2013, a ten-alarm fire burned the rebuilt boardwalk area. Many properties have been rebuilt or raised since, and driveways were often redone with them. Those newer surfaces mostly need sealing and crack repair now.

Sand, salt and water

On the barrier island, the ground is beach sand and the water table is high. Driveways need a confined, compacted base and a surface that drains to the street. Salt air and summer sun dry out asphalt, which makes sealcoating more important here than inland.

Roads and bridges

Route 35 and Route 37 meet at the approach to the Mathis and Tunney bridges, the main route onto the island from Toms River. Summer traffic is heavy. The borough maintains about 5 of its 12.5 miles of road, with Ocean County maintaining more than 6.

Rental turnover

Rental properties take a beating from many drivers who do not know the driveway. Turning wheels while stopped scuffs new asphalt; parking on edges breaks them. A firm base, supported edges and a seal coat before the season help a rental driveway handle summer.
