Our gallery shows recent work near Lakeshore Drive, Vernier Road, and the waterfront blocks where drainage fall, curb returns, and traffic loading decide how long a lot stays in service. The map also ties back to our owner's 30-year construction record, with each project added after we review the base, runoff path, and pavement condition on site.

From Our Founders
A parking lot is only as good as the base-layers beneath it. At D&J Contracting, we refuse to 'pave over' existing site problems. We engineer every project to withstand the Michigan freeze-thaw cycle by prioritizing subbase integrity and precise drainage pitch. When you build on a correct foundation, your asset lasts decades, not just seasons.

Reviews from Grosse Pointe Shores Property Managers
Commercial clients in Grosse Pointe Shores judge our paving by how it holds under traffic and freeze-thaw, not by first impressions. After 38 years serving Macomb, their reviews keep pointing to the same thing: proper base work, tight compaction, and pavement that stays in service.
Thank you again for a job well done.
Payment terms are outstanding in the last four years payments have always been on time.
The staff at D and J are great and very helpful if there is any issues.
My project involved multiple services and pulling permits and I had several quotes and most companies don't offer multiple services or don't pull permits and you have to do it yourself.
D & J is the only company who takes care of city permits and takes care of all the services you need from start to finish. They also update you on everything, keep you in a loop and confirms everything with you.
In our specific case we needed a curb cut, driveway leveled and parking lot sealed and coated so low sports vehicles can safely pull in without scraping the bottom and D & J did it so well you can pull in even on skateboard now.
Highly recommend D & J, top quality, smooth process.
Paving & Concrete Contractors Serving Grosse Pointe Shores
On Grosse Pointe Shores jobs, we stage equipment off Vernier Road and keep haul paths tight so crews do not choke access near active businesses. We cut clean tie-ins, protect concrete edges, and pave in sections that match traffic flow. That keeps disruption down and lets the pavement cure with fewer weak spots. On Macomb projects, that kind of staging protects both the surface and the customer's day-to-day operations.

Grosse Pointe Shores Commercial Pavement Repair & Maintenance
Base Before Surface
We build for Grosse Pointe Shores by tightening the subgrade first, because a mat only lasts when the ground under it can carry traffic without pumping, settling, or opening cracks that send water back into the base.
- Dense subgrade compaction stops voids from forming under wheel paths, which keeps the pavement from shifting and saves owners from early patching or full re-paving.
- Positive drainage fall moves meltwater off the lot instead of letting it sit at curb returns and low spots, where freeze-thaw damage starts and repair costs climb fast.
- Stable edge support protects the perimeter where trucks turn and plows push, which reduces breakup at the edges and extends the life of the entire lot in Macomb.

ABOUT US
38+ Years of Michigan Experience
Michigan's unique climate presents specific challenges for asphalt paving. With extreme temperature fluctuations, harsh winters, and freeze-thaw cycles, your pavement needs to be built to last.
Freeze-Thaw Pressure
Michigan weather works the same way on most lots, it gets water in first. In Grosse Pointe Shores, that shows up at joints, curb edges, and any low spot where meltwater sits after a thaw. Once that water reaches the base and freezes, it expands and starts lifting the pavement from underneath. The surface may still look sound for a while, but the structure is already moving.
We stop that cycle with base-layer prep that controls grade before the mat goes down. That means compacting the subgrade to a stable density, correcting drainage paths so water leaves the lot instead of soaking in, and building enough support under turning lanes and drive aisles to handle load without pumping. If you want a parking lot to stay in service through winter, this is where the work has to be right. See our Asphalt Paving page and Parking Lot Maintenance page for the parts of the system that keep water out of the structure.
Grosse Pointe Shores Paving Permits & Safety Compliance
- Start with the Grosse Pointe Shores website so your paving plan follows the local review path before milling, excavation, or drainage work changes the site.
- Check the Paving, Drainage, & ROW Permits page early, since curb cuts, runoff changes, and right of way work can affect approval and sequencing.
- Use MissDig before any cut or trench work so underground utilities get marked before crews open the pavement.
