Asphalt Paving in Wheeling, IL

Asphalt paving in Wheeling covers both houses and heavy-duty commercial pavement. Wheeling incorporated on June 18, 1894, after a 43 to 3 vote at the Union Hotel, and stayed small until after World War II: 916 residents in 1950, 23,266 in 1980 and 39,137 in 2020. Manufacturing still employs about 16 percent of residents, and the village co-owns Chicago Executive Airport, the fourth-busiest airport in Illinois.

Residential driveways

Census estimates put the median home in Wheeling at 1980, with about 63 percent owner-occupied. Driveways from that era are often in the late-maintenance or early-replacement window. We check the base and give you prices for both options when the decision is close.

Truck traffic

Manufacturing plants, distribution buildings and businesses near the airport see delivery trucks, forklifts and service vehicles. Their lots need thicker sections in truck lanes and loading areas, plus a deeper base. We design those zones separately from car parking.

Climate

Wheeling's January average low is about 16 degrees and its July average high is about 83. Pavement here freezes and thaws repeatedly in winter and softens in summer heat. Sealing cracks before winter and sealcoating every few years protect it.

Condo and apartment lots

With about 63 percent of homes owner-occupied, a good share of Wheeling's housing is rented, much of it in apartment and condo buildings whose lots need regular crack sealing, patching, sealcoating and restriping, done in phases with resident notices.

Drainage

On flat ground, standing water is common. We set grades so water reaches drains or the street.

Older homes near the Union Hotel

The area around the historic Union Hotel, where the 1894 incorporation vote took place, includes some of Wheeling's older properties. Driveways there are more likely to need replacement than maintenance.

Phasing industrial work

Manufacturers and distributors rarely want lots closed for long. We break industrial paving into sections, keep loading docks reachable and schedule around shipping times. Truck lanes and turning areas get thicker asphalt and a deeper base than car stalls.

Sealcoating multifamily lots

Apartment and condo lots with assigned parking need clear notice before sealing. We plan sections so residents can move cars, and restripe once the sealer cures.

Climate swings

Wheeling's January average low near 16 degrees and July average high near 83 mean pavement freezes hard in winter and softens in summer. New asphalt laid in July needs a few extra days before heavy use; cracks need sealing before the first freeze.

Half the homes from the 1970s and 80s

About half of Wheeling's homes date from the 1970s and 1980s. Driveways from that window are where maintenance or replacement decisions are being made now.
