Serving San Bruno, CA and surrounding areas. (415) 723-8447
Signs and verbal reminders get ignored. A well-built asphalt speed bump slows every vehicle that enters your property - automatically, every time. We install permanent bumps on private driveways and shared lots throughout San Bruno with minimal disruption to your day.
Speed bump installation in San Bruno means building a raised section of hot-mix asphalt across a private driveway, shared access lane, or parking area - shaped into a smooth, rounded hump that forces vehicles to slow down. For a single standard bump, the crew is typically in and out in a few hours on installation day.
Speed bumps are installed on private property only. San Bruno's many multi-unit buildings, townhome complexes, and hillside properties with shared driveways are exactly the settings where they are most commonly requested. If your property has a shared access lane where vehicles move faster than they should, or if children and pedestrians regularly use the driveway, a bump is a direct solution. For properties where the parking area itself needs work, combining a bump installation with a sealcoating job or a full parking lot pave is the most efficient way to handle both in a single visit.
The work is straightforward and contained. You do not need to replace the surrounding pavement, and most of the driveway or lot stays usable the same day.
If cars regularly cut through your shared driveway or parking area at speeds that feel unsafe, a speed bump is the most reliable fix available. Signs and verbal requests tend to be ignored - especially by delivery drivers and visitors who have never been to your property before. A physical bump works every time.
San Bruno has a high concentration of multi-family buildings and shared access lanes. When multiple households use the same driveway, daily traffic adds up and the risk of a pedestrian-vehicle conflict increases. A bump establishes safe speeds without requiring any ongoing effort from residents or property managers.
If kids play near the driveway or pets are often outside close to the lane, a bump provides a consistent, automatic layer of protection. It works for every driver who enters, regardless of whether they know the area or are in a hurry to park.
A clean, well-marked speed bump is a visible safety improvement that tells prospective tenants and buyers the property is actively managed. In San Bruno's competitive rental market, small details like this matter to families evaluating a property. It is a low-cost improvement with tangible appeal.
We install permanent hot-mix asphalt speed bumps on private residential driveways, shared access lanes, apartment and condo parking areas, and private commercial lots throughout San Bruno and the surrounding Peninsula. Every job starts with a site visit so we can measure the lane width, check the condition of the existing pavement, and confirm the location is on private property. The profile - how tall the bump is and how long the slope on each side runs - is sized based on your lane width and the vehicle speeds you are trying to control. A longer, more gradual slope is easier on cars and passengers while still doing its job. We also confirm upfront whether any permit or HOA approval is needed, so there are no surprises after the work is scheduled. For properties that are also planning a sealcoat treatment or a full parking lot pave, adding a speed bump at the same time is the most cost-effective approach - the crew and equipment are already on site.
Surface preparation is the part that separates a bump that lasts from one that cracks and separates from the surrounding pavement within a season. We apply a bonding layer to the existing asphalt before placing any new material, which is especially important on the Bay Area Peninsula where the persistent marine moisture and fog can weaken adhesion if the surface is not properly prepared. The finished bump sits cleanly bonded to the surrounding pavement with smooth, gradual transitions that vehicles can drive over without scraping or bottoming out.
Best for single-family or multi-unit properties with a private driveway or shared access lane where vehicle speeds are a safety concern.
Suited for apartment complexes, condo communities, and commercial property owners who need one or more bumps across wider lanes in a parking area.
Suited for property owners who want the bump plus paint markings for visibility - striping is scheduled after the asphalt has fully cured.
Best for properties that are being repaved or sealcoated at the same time - the bump is integrated into the new surface for a seamless finished result.
San Bruno has a high concentration of multi-family housing, townhome complexes, and hillside properties with shared driveways - exactly the settings where speed bumps get requested most often. Shared access lanes see more daily traffic and a wider variety of drivers than a single-family driveway, and without a physical control in place, speeds tend to creep up. San Bruno also has a nearly freeze-free climate, which is a genuine advantage for asphalt speed bumps. The freeze-thaw cycles that crack and heave asphalt in colder regions are essentially absent here, so a well-built bump holds its shape and bond for a long time without weather-related deterioration. The main local concern is the Peninsula's persistent coastal fog and marine moisture, which is why surface prep - specifically a proper bonding layer applied before any new asphalt goes down - matters more here than in a dry inland climate.
If your property is part of an HOA, factor in time for board approval before scheduling installation. Many San Bruno neighborhoods and condo communities require HOA sign-off on any change to shared pavement, and that approval process can take several weeks depending on meeting schedules. We can provide a written project description to help you make that request to the board. We serve properties throughout San Bruno and neighboring communities including Millbrae and South San Francisco, where the same multi-unit housing density and shared driveway situations are common.
Tell us the location, the width of the driveway or lane, and roughly how many bumps you need. We respond within one business day and schedule a quick site visit rather than quoting blind - the condition of your existing pavement and the site layout affect both the approach and the cost.
We measure the lane, check the existing pavement surface, confirm the location is on private property, and ask about any HOA involvement. You receive a written quote before you commit - no verbal estimates, no surprises after the work is done.
For most private-property bumps in San Bruno, a city permit is not required - but we confirm this for your specific address. If your property is part of an HOA, we can provide a written project description to help you make the approval request to the board before scheduling the crew.
The crew applies a bonding layer, builds and compacts the bump to the right profile, and cones the area while it cools - typically a few hours. We walk the finished bump with you before leaving to confirm the profile and edges look right. Striping can be arranged once the asphalt has fully cured.
We visit, measure, and give you a written price before any work is scheduled. We respond within one business day.
(415) 723-8447California requires paving contractors to hold a current state license before working on your property. The California Contractors State License Board lets you look up any license number online in minutes. We hold the license and carry the insurance, and we encourage you to verify both before hiring anyone for this kind of work.
The Bay Area's persistent coastal fog keeps pavement damp more often than in dry inland areas. A bump that is not properly bonded to the existing pavement will separate at the edges when moisture works its way underneath. We apply a tack coat bonding layer before every installation - the step that keeps the bump firmly attached through San Bruno's wet winters and foggy summers.
Many San Bruno properties are governed by HOAs, and we know how to help you navigate that approval process. We also know which local projects typically need a city permit and which do not - that knowledge upfront saves you time and prevents scheduling a crew before the approvals are in place.
Every job starts with a written quote that spells out what is included - surface prep, materials, labor, and any striping. The National Asphalt Pavement Association notes that a detailed written estimate is one of the clearest signals of a reputable contractor. You know what you are paying for before anyone shows up with equipment.
A well-built speed bump is a small investment with a long-term effect. Once it is in, you stop having to manage vehicle speeds on your property - the bump handles it automatically, for every driver, every day.
