WHAT WE DO
Full-service asphalt & construction
Full-service asphalt paving & construction for residential, commercial, and municipal customers across Eastern Iowa.
01
Asphalt Paving & Overlays
Premium asphalt paving and commercial overlays for high-traffic parking lots, municipal roadways, and residential driveways throughout Eastern Iowa. Our team handles everything from structural sub-grade excavation to the precise installation of hot-mix asphalt, ensuring a smooth, durable surface engineered to withstand heavy logistics loads and harsh winter weather. If your existing pavement foundation is structurally sound but suffering from surface wear, we apply professional asphalt overlays to completely resurface the area — giving you a brand-new finish at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
02
Asphalt Repairs & Structural Maintenance
Permanent asphalt repair is the most effective way to address dangerous potholes, shifting utility cuts, and localized edge failures before they compromise your entire property foundation. We utilize industrial milling and deep-patching techniques to cut out deteriorated pavement, stabilize the underlying aggregate base, and seamlessly blend in fresh, hot-pour asphalt. This proactive structural maintenance eliminates liability hazards for commercial properties and prevents minor surface water damage from turning into a costly, full-scale excavation project.
03
Preventative Hot Rubberizes Crack Sealing
Liquid hot rubberized crack sealing is the single most critical preventative maintenance service required to extend the lifespan of your pavement. Because water infiltration is the primary cause of asphalt failure, our crews clean and seal open surface cracks with high-performance, flexible rubberized polymer blocks heated to over 300°F. This heavy-duty seal expands and contracts naturally during Iowa's freezing and thawing cycles, completely blocking moisture from seeping into the stone base and softening the foundation.
04
Seal Coating & Protective Barriers
Professional commercial seal coating acts as a vital protective barrier that shields your asphalt investment from rapid oxidation, UV rays, oil spills, and water penetration. We apply high-grade, aggregate-reinforced emulsion sealers that restore the rich, charcoal-black appearance of your pavement while drastically slowing down surface degradation. For maximum structural protection, we recommend scheduling a precision seal coat application every two to three years for established commercial parking lots and local business walkways.
05
Precision Parking Lot Striping & Pavement Markings
High-visibility parking lot striping and professional pavement markings are essential for maintaining traffic safety, proper vehicle flow, and ADA compliance on your commercial property. Kluesner Construction delivers crisp, durable, and DOT-compliant line striping using premium layout paints specifically formulated for asphalt adhesion. From freshly marked stalls and directional arrows to designated handicap-accessible loading zones, we ensure your property looks immaculate and stays legally compliant.
06
Rural Chip & Seal Pavement Applications
Chip and seal paving — also known as macadam or chip sealing — is a highly durable, cost-effective alternative to traditional hot-mix asphalt for expansive rural roads, county highways, and private farm driveways. This multi-layered process involves spraying a uniform layer of hot liquid asphalt emulsion directly over a prepared base, followed immediately by spreading a dense layer of crushed stone aggregate chips. Our specialized compaction rollers lock the stones securely into the emulsion, creating a heavy-duty, waterproof, and skid-resistant driving surface built for heavy equipment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Have questions about your next paving project? Get clear, professional answers from the Eastern Iowa asphalt experts. We help property owners make informed decisions about their pavement maintenance and infrastructure.
Q: What is the difference between an asphalt overlay and a full replacement?
An asphalt overlay is a cost-effective resurfacing method where a fresh layer of hot-mix asphalt is applied directly over an existing pavement surface. This is an ideal solution if the underlying stone base is structurally sound but the surface has cracks or potholes. A full replacement requires completely digging up the old asphalt and base layer, which is only necessary if the foundation has suffered severe structural failure or deep water damage.
Q: How often should commercial parking lots and driveways be seal coated?
To maximize the lifespan of your pavement, professional seal coating should be applied every three to five years. Seal coating acts as a protective barrier against water infiltration, oil spills, and UV rays that cause asphalt to oxidize and become brittle. For new asphalt installations, we recommend letting the pavement cure for a full 12 months before applying the first seal coat.
Q: Why is crack sealing considered the most critical preventative maintenance?
Water is the number one enemy of asphalt. When surface cracks are left open, water seeps beneath the pavement and softens the underlying stone base, leading to severe potholes and shifting. Hot-pour rubberized crack sealing stops water infiltration immediately, preventing minor surface cracks from turning into massive, expensive edge failures during freeze-and-thaw cycles.
Q: What areas do you regularly serve for residential and commercial paving?
Based out of Farley, Iowa, our crews regularly provide full-service asphalt paving, commercial parking lot stripping, and municipal road construction across Dubuque, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, and the surrounding tri-state counties. We maintain a full fleet of hauling trucks and equipment to handle projects ranging from residential driveways to heavy-duty commercial logistics sites.
Q: What is a chip and seal application, and when should it be used?
Chip and seal (or chip sealing) is a highly durable, cost-effective surface treatment typically used for rural roads, county highways, and expansive private driveways. It involves spraying a layer of liquid asphalt emulsion over the road followed immediately by a layer of crushed aggregate chips, which are rolled into place. It provides excellent skid resistance and waterproof protection at a significantly lower cost than traditional hot-mix asphalt overlays.
