Vehicles moving too fast through your driveway or shared lot are a liability waiting to happen. We install asphalt speed bumps on private property throughout San Francisco - one day, reflective markings included.
Speed bump installation in San Francisco means adding a raised asphalt ridge to your private driveway, parking lot, or shared road to slow vehicles down, most single-bump jobs are completed in a few hours and the area is back in use the same day.
Speed bumps can only go on private property - public city streets require a separate city-managed traffic-calming process that a paving contractor does not handle. If you own a multi-unit building, manage an HOA property, or have a shared driveway where vehicles move too fast, a speed bump is the most direct fix. If you are also planning asphalt sealcoating or other surface work, adding a bump at the same time saves a second mobilization and integrates the bump cleanly with the refreshed surface.
San Francisco's dense neighborhoods mean driveways and pedestrians share tight spaces every day. A speed bump is a physical control that works around the clock - no signs to miss, no rules to enforce. For property owners who want to demonstrate active safety management, it is also a visible signal that the property is well-run.
If cars routinely move too fast through your shared driveway, parking area, or private road, a speed bump is the most direct solution. This is common in multi-unit residential buildings throughout San Francisco, where a single driveway serves many households who do not always slow down.
If kids play near a driveway, residents walk through a parking area, or tenants regularly cross a private road on foot, slowing traffic protects everyone. San Francisco's dense neighborhoods make these mixed-use situations the norm rather than the exception.
Property managers and HOA boards install speed bumps as part of active safety management and liability reduction. A visible, well-marked bump signals to residents and visitors that the property is cared for, and it gives you a documented safety measure in place.
San Francisco's frequent fog and overcast evenings reduce visibility at driveway entrances and parking lot exits. A speed bump with bright reflective markings gives drivers a clear physical cue to slow down even when they cannot see the entrance clearly until they are almost on top of it.
We install asphalt speed bumps on private driveways, shared parking lots, HOA community roads, and multi-unit building access lanes throughout San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area. The process starts with a site visit where we assess the existing pavement condition, measure the location, and discuss bump dimensions with you. Getting the height and width right matters - a bump sized for a slow private lane is different from one meant to protect a busy parking lot with delivery traffic. We also check whether the existing surface needs any prep work before the bump goes in, since clay soil movement can crack and heave pavement in ways that affect how the bump bonds. If you are planning concrete curbing and sidewalks work as part of a broader property project, we coordinate that work to minimize disruption and keep your property accessible throughout.
Every installation includes reflective markings as part of the finished job. San Francisco's fog makes reflective markings especially practical - drivers get a visible, physical cue even on gray mornings and overcast evenings. If your property has an HOA or shared ownership structure, we provide a written scope of work to support your approval application. For properties that need multiple bumps, we plan the spacing to achieve consistent speeds throughout the driveway or lot.
Best for single-family and multi-unit driveways where one bump at a key point is enough to slow traffic and protect residents on foot.
Suited for larger private lots and HOA communities where consistent vehicle speeds across the entire area are needed, with bump spacing planned for the specific layout.
When the existing surface has minor cracking or unevenness, we handle the prep and the bump installation as a single visit so you are not scheduling two separate jobs.
If you are resurfacing or repaving your driveway or lot, adding a bump at the same time is the most cost-effective approach - the crew is already on-site and the bump integrates seamlessly with new pavement.
San Francisco's dense residential neighborhoods create driving conditions where private driveways and shared lots see a lot of through traffic. Tight lot sizes, narrow access lanes, and the sheer number of people coming and going from multi-unit buildings all contribute to situations where vehicle speeds become a real concern. Fog and overcast skies - which cover the city for much of the morning year-round - reduce visibility at driveway entrances and parking lot exits, making a physical slowdown device more effective than a sign alone. Property owners in Oakland and Berkeley face similar conditions - dense neighborhoods, shared driveways, and the same need for a reliable, low-maintenance solution to vehicle speed on private property.
San Francisco also has a large share of multi-unit residential buildings, and for landlords and HOA boards managing these properties, speed bumps serve a dual purpose. They slow traffic and they document that the property owner took active steps to protect residents. The city's clay soils and ground movement mean asphalt surfaces here require a contractor who understands how to prep and bond new asphalt to an existing surface that may have shifted or cracked. A speed bump installed on a compromised surface will not last - which is why we assess the base before we quote the job.
Call or message us with the location, the number of bumps you need, and a rough description of the driveway or lot. We reply within one business day and schedule a no-charge site visit.
We check the existing pavement condition, measure the installation point, and walk through bump dimensions with you. If the surface needs prep work - common on San Francisco's clay-heavy soils - we flag it and include it in the quote.
If your property has an HOA, we provide a written scope of work to support your approval application. Once approvals are sorted, we book a date during a dry weather window and confirm the day before.
The crew clears the area, lays and compacts the hot-mix asphalt, and applies reflective markings once the surface has cooled. Most single-bump jobs are done in a few hours and the area is open by end of day.

(628) 895-9188We assess the existing pavement, the access constraints, and the base condition before quoting. Tight driveways, clay soil movement, and narrow urban lots affect how the job is done - we account for those factors upfront, not after the crew arrives.
Our contractor license is verifiable through the California Contractors State License Board. We carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage - ask for our certificate before work begins.
San Francisco's fog and overcast mornings make reflective markings a practical necessity, not an optional add-on. Every bump we install gets bright, clear markings so drivers see the bump before they hit it - in full daylight and in low-light conditions.
Multi-unit buildings, shared driveways, and HOA properties involve approvals, coordination, and access logistics that single-family jobs do not. We provide written scopes for HOA applications and schedule installations to minimize disruption to all residents on the property.
Speed bump installation is straightforward when the contractor knows the surface, the soil, and the property type. Every job we do in San Francisco gets a proper site assessment and a bump sized for the actual conditions - not a generic template dropped on whatever is there.
