Young's Excavating & Paving LLC has completed parking lot repairs and resurfacing for Summit Title Services at 120 Bedford Center Road in Bedford, New Hampshire. The project, finished in May 2026, covered approximately 10,075 square feet and addressed specific areas where the pavement had sunk.
Two isolated sections of the parking lot, each roughly four feet by three feet, had visibly dropped before the resurfacing. Such localized sinking typically indicates a problem beneath the pavement. Water is the common culprit: it infiltrates the base through cracks and joints, reducing its load-bearing capacity, and freeze-thaw cycles further destabilize the saturated material. The repairs were essential before the overlay, as simply paving over settled areas would not fix the underlying cause and would likely lead to future depression.
The repair process involved saw-cutting and removing the damaged asphalt at both locations, then paving the repaired areas with three inches of new asphalt. This was completed before the surrounding lot received its full overlay. The overlay included cleaning and preparation, transitional milling at lock-in points to ensure a smooth tie-in with existing pavement, a tack coat, a base layer of asphalt, and a two-inch wearing course. The wearing course is the top layer exposed to traffic and weather, designed to protect the base and provide a durable surface.
According to the company, the full project record, including repair sequence and photographs, is published at Parking Lot Repairs and Resurfacing at Summit Title Services in Bedford, NH.
Summit Title Services, a title company with offices across New Hampshire, agreed to be identified as the client. The project highlights a key advantage of hiring a single contractor for both excavation and paving: the base, grade, and finished surface are managed cohesively, avoiding coordination issues that can arise with separate contractors.
