Asphalt Paving & Concrete Projects in St Clair Shores Neighborhoods
Our gallery shows recent work near Harper, Jefferson, and the Nine Mile corridor, where lots have to drain clean, hold their edge, and stay open under daily traffic. The map also ties back to our owner's 30-year run in construction, with each project planned from the ground up so the local record reflects real base prep, not just a finished surface.

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 St Clair Shores Property Managers
Commercial clients in St Clair Shores back our work because we build pavement for load, drainage, and long service life, not just a clean finish. After 38 years in the field, their reviews reflect what holds up and what fails early.
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 St Clair Shores
We stage work along Jefferson Avenue and near the Nautical Mile so businesses keep access while we mill, pave, and roll in tight sections. On active lots in St Clair Shores, we set haul routes to avoid blocking customer lanes, then protect curb lines and tie-ins so edges do not break down early. That keeps disruption low and lets the pavement carry traffic the way it should.

St Clair Shores Commercial Pavement Repair & Maintenance
Subgrade Controls Cost
Before we place new pavement in St Clair Shores, we treat the ground as the part that decides whether the lot holds up or starts failing from below.
- We compact weak soil until it stops moving under load. That keeps truck traffic from pumping fines to the surface, which is how small soft spots turn into broken seams and repeat patch work.
- We shape the base so water has a path out instead of sitting under the mat. Standing water feeds frost movement, and frost movement is what forces owners into early tear-out and full re-paving.
- We match thickness and support to how the lot actually gets used. A light-duty surface on a heavy-traffic lane looks fine at first, then starts raveling, cracking, and costing more every season until replacement becomes the only real fix.

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 Damage
Michigan weather works on pavement from the bottom up. Water finds its way through hairline cracks, open joints, and low spots, then freezes and expands. That movement pushes the surface apart and starts breaking the bond between the asphalt and the layers below it. In St Clair Shores, lots near Jefferson Avenue, 9 Mile Road, and the lakefront pick up extra moisture from snowmelt and wind-driven rain, so any weak spot in the base turns into a path for water.
We stop that cycle by building the support system first. Our prep focuses on grading for drainage, tightening soft subgrade, and placing a base that can stay firm under traffic. If water has nowhere to sit, frost heave loses its grip. That is how a parking lot keeps its shape through winter instead of opening up at the seams and needing early patch work.
St Clair Shores Paving Permits & Safety Compliance
- Start with St Clair Shores city resources so your paving schedule lines up with local review steps before crews mobilize.
- Check the Paving, Drainage, & ROW Permits page early, because curb work and runoff changes can stall a lot project if you wait until the crew is ready to pave.
- Use MissDig before excavation, since marked utilities control where we can cut, trench, and rebuild without tearing into buried lines.
