Your parking lot is the first thing customers, patients, and residents see before they even reach your door. Out along the Route 146 corridor and through the Blackstone Valley, a rough winter and a skipped spring repair turn into cracked, uneven pavement fast.
Masterson Paving was founded in 2018 by David Gaboury and Eric Matheson. We built the company around residential driveway paving, and that same attention to detail carries over to the small commercial and HOA lots we take on. Office buildings, churches, retail plazas, restaurants, medical offices, apartment communities, daycare centers, and HOA parking lots across Woonsocket trust us to get it right. Call today for a free estimate.
We focus on smaller commercial properties where the owner or manager actually wants to talk to the people doing the work. That includes:
We don’t take on factories, industrial parks, trucking terminals, or warehouse campuses. That’s a different scale of work with different equipment and staffing needs than what we’re set up for, and we’d rather stay focused on doing right by the clients we do serve.
Every job starts below the surface. Subgrade evaluation comes first, because if the base isn’t solid, nothing on top of it will last. Grading and drainage slope get worked out next. Standing water shortens pavement life faster than almost anything else.
Woonsocket sits right up against the Massachusetts line and takes a real beating each winter. Freeze and thaw cycles crack surfaces open and heave base layers. Road salt works into existing cracks and speeds up oxidation. A church parking lot, a medical office entrance, or an HOA common area all wear the same way over a few tough seasons if the base wasn’t built right to begin with.
Starting from raw ground or replacing a lot that’s past saving takes a contractor who manages the full scope without handoffs. New installation runs from grading through the final surface course, sized right for the property, not oversized for traffic it will never see.
When the base is still solid but the surface has worn through, an overlay adds years of service life without a full tearout. Base condition gets evaluated first, and the recommendation goes with whatever actually fits your lot.
Crack sealing, pothole patching, and surface milling keep smaller issues from turning into full replacement projects. A crack sealed in fall costs a fraction of what the same spot costs to fix after a winter of water getting in and heaving.

We provide commercial paving for small businesses and HOAs throughout Woonsocket, the Blackstone Valley, and surrounding Rhode Island and Massachusetts communities.Paving in Rhode Island and Massachusetts isn’t the same discipline as paving south of the frost line. Ground movement from freezing temperatures, heavy snow loads, months of road salt, and a freeze and thaw cycle that runs from late fall through early spring put stress on pavement that lighter construction can’t absorb.
Since 2018, David and Eric have built Masterson Paving around getting this right for New England homeowners and, by extension, the smaller commercial lots we take on. Base depth, drainage slope, and mix selection get calibrated for this climate on every project.
A retail plaza, medical office, or apartment community can’t just shut down while asphalt cures. We plan around that.
The staging plan comes with your written scope before anything starts.
Base condition decides it. Alligator cracking across the surface usually means the base has failed, and an overlay won’t hold on top of that. If the damage is mostly surface wear with a stable base underneath, resurfacing is a reasonable, cost effective call.
In most cases, yes. Phased work and traffic control let us keep part of your lot usable while we work the rest.
Yes. HOA boards across Woonsocket and the Blackstone Valley use us for both scheduled maintenance and full paving projects on shared common areas.
Late spring through early fall. Hot mix asphalt needs ground temperatures above 50 degrees to compact and cure properly, and booking early keeps you off the back of the summer schedule.
A properly installed lot in Rhode Island typically lasts 20 to 30 years with regular maintenance. Sealing cracks before winter and staying ahead of drainage issues are the two biggest factors in reaching that lifespan through New England conditions.
Resurfacing puts a new layer of hot mix asphalt over an existing surface that’s still structurally intact. Full replacement pulls the old pavement down to the base and rebuilds from scratch. Base condition gets assessed first, and the recommendation goes with whatever actually makes sense for your specific lot rather than what costs more.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of work and the municipality. New construction and significant changes to drainage or lot layout often require permits through the City of Woonsocket or the Rhode Island Department of Transportation. Before work starts, we can walk you through exactly what applies to your project.
Most lots can open to light vehicle traffic within 24 to 48 hours of paving, depending on temperature and humidity conditions that day. Heavy trucks and equipment should stay off for 72 hours or longer. Before we leave the site, we confirm the timeline so there’s no guessing on your end.
