Commercial Paving in Detroit: what to expect
Commercial paving in Detroit covers retail and office lots, apartment complexes, churches, industrial yards, loading docks and access drives. The pavement has to carry trucks and plows, drain properly, and meet accessibility and site plan rules, all while the property stays open. Across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, the right contractor plans the work in phases so tenants and customers can still get in.
Options include full reconstruction, a mill and overlay, targeted repairs, and a maintenance program of crack sealing, sealcoating and striping. Heavy-traffic zones such as dumpster pads and truck routes may need thicker sections or concrete. Stormwater is part of the design: in Detroit, the DWSD drainage charge is based on hard surfaces, and nonresidential owners can earn credits for measures such as detention and pervious pavement.

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Commercial paving can trigger site plan review, a building or grading permit, stormwater requirements and right-of-way permits for drive approaches, so confirm with the local building department early (BSEED in Detroit, and the DPW City Engineering Division for work in the right-of-way). Earth changes that disturb one acre or more, or that sit within 500 feet of a lake or stream, generally need a Part 91 soil erosion permit from the county or municipal enforcing agency. Michigan law requires notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days before excavating, so confirm who calls it before any base is dug out.
Michigan's Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license lists trades such as Concrete and Excavation but no separate asphalt paving trade, so ask which LARA license the company holds, if any, and check it on the LARA lookup. Either way, confirm a local business address, proof of insurance and references before you pay.
