Windy City Paving repairs commercial parking lots and potholes in Schaumburg, from small asphalt patches to larger repaving projects. There is no minimum job size. Send the property address and affected areas so we can plan the site review around customer entrances, deliveries and parking access.
Large retail traffic and closure planning
Use condition and traffic role together. Drive aisles and loading approaches may require structural repair while sound stalls remain candidates for preservation and new markings.
Plan the work around the operating property
Build a customer-routing map for every phase and schedule the most disruptive work outside peak periods. A zone should return with clear arrows, crossings and accessible markings—not merely an open barricade.
Questions the Schaumburg scope should answer
- Separate drive aisles, storefront rows and remote stalls.
- Protect primary entrances and delivery routes.
- Rank repairs by both condition and traffic consequence.
- Coordinate coating, paving and striping closures.
- Release complete, understandable customer zones.

Confirm the project jurisdiction before construction
The property address and exact work determine whether municipal, county, accessibility, drainage, right-of-way or other review applies. Do not assume that calling work “maintenance” settles the permit question. Start with Cook County Building and Zoning, then confirm the current project-specific path with the municipality or authority having jurisdiction.

Paving permits and parking-plan review in Schaumburg
Schaumburg distinguishes pavement repair from surface maintenance. Its Permit Services Q&A requires a commercial land-development permit for lot patching/resurfacing and curb/sidewalk repairs, but excludes striping and sealcoating from that permit requirement.
We handle permits and inspections
Windy City Paving handles the entire permit process for your project: determining whether permits are required, preparing and submitting the applications, and obtaining the required permits. We coordinate and attend all required inspections with city or village officials, including inspections during construction and final inspections at project completion. We will identify any owner signatures, existing surveys or association approvals needed and guide you through those items.
For commercial and shared multifamily properties within Schaumburg municipal limits. “Confirm scope” means the cited guidance does not establish an exemption.
| Work planned | Permit or review requirement | What we prepare with you |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt patching and pothole repair | Commercial parking-lot patching requires a land-development permit. [1] | Mark the repair locations and describe excavation. |
| Milling, resurfacing and full repaving | Parking-lot resurfacing requires the commercial land-development process. [1] | Distinguish milling/overlay from full-depth replacement. |
| Concrete, curbs and sidewalks | Commercial curb and sidewalk repairs are included in the permit requirement. [1] | Identify the concrete limits and any public frontage work. |
| Sealcoating and existing striping | Striping and sealcoating are excluded from the stated permit requirement. [1] | Keep a record of the existing approved layout. |
| Changed commercial or multifamily parking layout | The maintenance exemption does not establish approval for a redesigned lot. Confirm layout changes with Community Development/Engineering. [1] | Show changes to stalls, access and drainage before restriping. |
Before pricing the work
Separate an exempt sealcoat/stripe contract from any included patching or concrete repair. Combining those activities does not make the repair portion exempt.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a commercial paving proposal in Schaumburg define?
It should define existing-condition findings, treatment boundaries, depth and material assumptions, access, closures, temporary routes, connected drainage or concrete work, final markings, exclusions and reopening conditions.
Can the property remain open during the work?
That depends on entrances, available staging, deliveries, emergency and accessible routes, curing or cooling time and the amount of pavement that can close safely. The proposal should include a site-specific phase plan rather than a generic promise.
