At VLJ Construction, we believe that every road we pave plays a critical role in supporting Florida’s communities. From school buses and emergency vehicles to local businesses and everyday drivers, quality roadwork matters and we’re proud to be a trusted name in delivering it.
Here’s a breakdown of the process we follow to ensure safe, durable, and long-lasting pavement:
1. Milling: Starting with a Clean Slate
Milling is the first step in our road rehabilitation process. We use specialized equipment to remove the top layer of worn, cracked asphalt. This creates a smooth, level base that allows for better bonding when the new asphalt layer is applied.
By eliminating surface flaws and imperfections, milling helps extend the life of the pavement and prevents old damage from resurfacing.
2. Paving: Laying a Strong, Smooth Foundation
Once the surface is prepped, our team begins paving with high-quality asphalt. This step restores the structural integrity of the road and ensures a smoother ride for all vehicles.
Proper paving is critical to reducing wear-and-tear on tires, minimizing driver fatigue, and improving drainage.
3. Seal Coating: Protecting the Investment
After paving, we apply a seal coat a protective layer that guards the surface against water, oxidation, UV rays, and regular traffic wear. Seal coating extends the life of the pavement while improving safety through increased skid resistance.
This step is especially important in Florida’s high-heat, high-humidity environment.
4. Striping: Clear Guidance for Safer Travel
The final stage of the process is striping. We add clear, high-visibility pavement markings that help guide drivers safely and efficiently. This includes lane lines, crosswalks, directional arrows, and other roadway indicators.
Striping is not only about organization it’s about safety. Fresh markings reduce confusion, prevent accidents, and ensure compliance with transportation standards.
