Shorewood IL Asphalt Contractor

Shamblin Paving is a family-owned asphalt paving and sealcoating contractor serving Shorewood, Illinois, with commercial and residential work across Will County since 2006. We install hot-mix asphalt, sealcoat, stripe, and repair parking lots, subdivision streets, and driveways around the IL-59 and US-52 retail corridors and the neighborhoods lining the DuPage River.

For most Shorewood properties asphalt is the practical choice, roughly half the installed cost of concrete, fast to return to service, and the most recycled material in the country. A small lot or driveway can be paved in a single day and back in use within about a week. Built and maintained correctly, your asphalt should reach its full 15-to-30-year life, and we handle every step that gets it there.

Why Shorewood Property Owners Choose Shamblin Paving

We are a local, family-owned operation — not a franchise or a crew passing through between bigger metro jobs. Shamblin Paving has completed hundreds of paving and sealcoating projects across Will, DuPage, and Kendall counties since 2006, and we stand behind the work with a satisfaction guarantee.

• Family-owned and locally rooted. We have served Shorewood, Joliet, Plainfield, Minooka, and Channahon for more than 20 years. Local crews, local supervisors, local accountability.
• Every property type, from HOA to light industrial. We work with HOAs, hospitals, multi-family communities, property managers, and light-industrial operators along the Route 59 corridor — plus homeowners throughout Shorewood’s subdivisions. No project is too large or too small.
• Built for commercial traffic. Shorewood’s retail corridors off Route 59 move constant car and delivery-truck traffic. We set asphalt thickness and base depth to what a lot actually carries, so a busy restaurant or strip-center lot doesn’t rut and fail early.
• Engineered for the DuPage River floodplain. Low-lying areas near the river and Will County’s heavy clay subsoil hold water and heave with freeze-thaw. We correct drainage and grade first, then specify mixes that stand up to standing water and frost movement.
• One contractor for the full lifecycle, phased so you stay open. Paving, sealcoating, striping, crack sealing, pothole repair, ADA upgrades, speed bumps, bollards, and snow removal — sequenced in sections so customers, tenants, and residents keep moving.

• Site walk and condition assessment. We measure the area, photograph the distress, check how the lot drains, and pinpoint whether the failure sits in the wear course or the base below — and whether heavy traffic or trapped water is driving it.
• Written scope and quote. Material specification, square footage, equipment, schedule, and traffic-control plan, all in writing. No surprises on the invoice.
• Pre-construction prep. Site marked, utilities verified, debris cleared, and adjacent curbs, landscaping, and storefronts protected.
• Base and drainage correction. Soft spots, failed base, and grade problems are fixed before any asphalt or sealer goes down. This close to the DuPage River floodplain, moving water off the pavement is the step that decides how long the repair holds.
• Installation. Hot-mix asphalt placed and compacted to specification, sealer cut in by hand and spray-applied for full coverage, or cracks routed and filled with hot rubber — matched to the scope.
• Cure and reopen. New asphalt takes traffic in roughly 24 to 48 hours; fresh sealcoat needs about 24 hours for foot traffic and 48 for vehicles in typical summer temperatures.
• Striping and finishing. Lots re-striped with high-build traffic paint, ADA stalls and ramps refreshed, and speed bumps or bollards reset.
• Post-project walkthrough. We walk the finished site with you, confirm it matches the written scope, and leave you with a maintenance schedule so the surface lasts.
