Hear From Our Clients
You get a paving job that actually lasts through Fayville’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles. No callbacks for the same cracks opening up again next spring. No surprise costs or change orders halfway through the job.
Your driveway handles heavy snow loads without cracking. Water drains properly instead of pooling and freezing into dangerous ice patches. The asphalt stays flexible enough to expand and contract with temperature swings without breaking apart.
You deal directly with the owner from estimate to completion. Clear communication, realistic timelines, and work that’s done right the first time.
We’ve served the Fayville region for over 25 years as an owner-operated paving and excavation company. We understand exactly how Central New York’s weather patterns affect asphalt – from the summer heat that can soften surfaces to the winter freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poorly installed pavement.
You work directly with the owner on every project. No sales teams or project managers who disappear after they get your signature. We’ve built our reputation through word-of-mouth recommendations from neighbors who know we deliver what we promise.
Our focus shifts seasonally to provide year-round value – paving and asphalt work during ideal weather, then foundations and land clearing when temperatures drop.
We start with an honest assessment of your current pavement and drainage situation. You get a detailed estimate that explains exactly what work needs to be done and why – no inflated line items or mysterious charges.
Site preparation comes first. Proper grading and base work prevent future problems that cheaper contractors ignore. We remove old, damaged asphalt completely rather than just paving over problems.
Installation happens when conditions are right for long-term performance. We don’t rush jobs to meet arbitrary deadlines if weather conditions aren’t ideal. The asphalt gets proper compaction and time to cure before you drive on it.

Our services cover everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots and site preparation. We handle excavation, foundation work, asphalt paving, and concrete installation with the same attention to detail.
Fayville’s established neighborhoods often require careful coordination around existing utilities and drainage systems. We work with local codes and requirements to ensure your project meets all standards without delays or complications.
Emergency response capability means you’re not stuck waiting weeks for repairs when winter damage creates safety hazards. We understand that paving problems don’t always happen during convenient business hours.
Late spring through early fall provides ideal conditions for asphalt installation in our area. Temperatures need to stay consistently above 50 degrees for proper curing, and dry weather prevents moisture from interfering with compaction.
We don’t recommend paving during Fayville’s winter months. Cold temperatures prevent asphalt from bonding properly, leading to premature cracking and shorter lifespan. If you have emergency repairs needed during winter, we can provide temporary solutions until proper installation weather returns.
Planning your project for late spring gives the asphalt a full season to cure and strengthen before facing its first winter freeze-thaw cycle.
A quality asphalt driveway should last 15-20 years in Central New York’s climate with proper maintenance. The key factors are correct installation depth, proper drainage, and regular sealcoating every 2-3 years.
New York’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on pavement. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and creates bigger problems. Catching and sealing minor cracks early prevents major repairs later.
The base preparation matters more than anything else for longevity. Shortcuts during excavation and grading cause premature failure regardless of how good the asphalt layer looks initially.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for – no hidden costs or surprise charges later. Our overhead stays low as an owner-operated company, and those savings get passed to customers.
You’re not paying for expensive advertising, fancy trucks, or commissioned sales teams. Just quality materials, proper installation methods, and fair labor rates. We’ve found that honest pricing builds better long-term relationships than low-ball estimates that increase with change orders.
Our reputation comes from referrals, not marketing campaigns. When neighbors recommend us, it’s because they received good value for their investment.
Yes, we maintain emergency response capability year-round for safety hazards and urgent repairs. Winter damage like potholes or major cracks that create dangerous conditions get priority attention.
Emergency repairs use cold-patch materials and temporary solutions designed to last until proper installation weather returns. We’re honest about what can and can’t be permanently fixed during winter months.
Our seasonal focus shifts to foundation work and land clearing during cold months, but we never leave customers stranded with safety issues. Emergency response is part of building long-term relationships in our community.
Proper drainage prevents most major paving problems in our climate. We evaluate water flow patterns during site assessment and design solutions that direct water away from the asphalt surface.
Poor drainage causes standing water that freezes, creating ice hazards and accelerating pavement deterioration. We address grading issues, install drainage systems when needed, and ensure water has somewhere to go besides your driveway.
Many drainage problems stem from changes made after original installation – new landscaping, additions, or settling that alters water flow. We look at the complete picture, not just the immediate paving area.
Sealcoating every 2-3 years provides the most important protection against New York weather. The sealant creates a barrier against water penetration, UV damage, and chemical spills from vehicles.
Small crack repair should happen promptly – don’t wait for minor issues to become major problems. Fall inspection and maintenance prepare your driveway for winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Keep the surface clean of debris and oil stains. Prompt cleanup prevents permanent staining and surface deterioration. Avoid using rock salt for ice removal – sand or calcium-based deicers are gentler on asphalt.
