Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway is the first thing people see when they visit your property. A well-paved surface doesn’t just look professional—it protects your investment and eliminates the headaches that come with cracked, uneven pavement.
Quality paving means fewer repairs down the line, saving you time and money while boosting your property’s curb appeal. You get smooth surfaces that handle local weather conditions and daily traffic without the constant maintenance issues that plague poorly installed asphalt.
When water drains properly and your pavement stays level, you avoid the pooling, cracking, and deterioration that turns a simple driveway into an expensive problem.
We’ve been serving Gansevoort and the surrounding Saratoga Springs area for over 25 years as a family-owned paving company. We understand what works in this region’s climate and soil conditions because we’ve been handling projects here since the beginning.

Our established relationships with local suppliers and deep understanding of area requirements mean we handle permits, materials, and scheduling without the delays that can derail your timeline.
We start with a free, detailed estimate that covers exactly what your project needs—no hidden costs or surprise charges later. You get clear project timelines and documented scope before any work begins, so you know what to expect each step of the way.
Site preparation comes first. We handle proper excavation, grading, and drainage solutions because the foundation determines how long your pavement lasts. Skipping steps here creates problems that show up months later as cracks and settling.

Our paving services cover everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots, with the same attention to quality regardless of project size. We handle new installations, repairs, and maintenance for properties throughout Gansevoort and the greater Saratoga Springs area.
Local conditions matter when it comes to paving that lasts. Gansevoort’s freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal weather patterns require specific approaches to drainage, material thickness, and installation timing. We’ve been working in this area long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
Whether you need a new driveway that complements your home’s appearance or a commercial parking lot that handles heavy traffic, we use proven installation methods and quality materials that stand up to local weather conditions and daily use without constant maintenance issues.
Properly installed asphalt paving in Gansevoort typically lasts 15-20 years with regular maintenance, though this depends heavily on installation quality and local conditions. Our region’s freeze-thaw cycles can be tough on pavement, which is why proper drainage and adequate thickness are crucial from the start.
The key factors that determine lifespan include proper site preparation, adequate base materials, and installation timing. We won’t install asphalt when temperatures are too low or when rain is expected, because these conditions compromise the final result. Quality installation costs more upfront but saves you money over the long term by avoiding premature repairs and replacement.
Commercial paving requires thicker asphalt layers and stronger base preparation to handle heavier traffic loads and frequent turning movements. While a residential driveway might use 2-3 inches of asphalt over a prepared base, commercial parking lots typically need 3-4 inches or more depending on expected traffic.
Drainage becomes even more critical for commercial projects because larger paved areas collect more water. We design proper slope and drainage solutions to prevent water from pooling, which accelerates deterioration and creates liability issues. Commercial projects also require compliance with local codes for accessibility, striping, and stormwater management.
The installation process takes longer for commercial work because of the additional preparation and thicker materials, but the result is pavement designed to handle the demands of business traffic for years without major repairs.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt paving in Gansevoort, typically from May through October. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to install properly and cure correctly, so we avoid winter months when temperatures consistently drop below 50 degrees.
Summer offers ideal conditions, but it’s also our busiest season. Spring and fall can provide excellent paving weather with shorter wait times for scheduling. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t start a project if rain is expected within 24 hours of installation.
The key is having dry conditions and temperatures above 50 degrees for proper compaction and curing. We’ve been doing this long enough to know when conditions are right, and we’d rather delay a project than compromise the quality of your pavement by rushing installation in poor weather.
Surface cracks and minor settling can often be repaired, but widespread cracking, significant settling, or drainage problems usually indicate the need for complete replacement. If more than 25% of your driveway shows distress, replacement typically makes more financial sense than patching.
Look for alligator cracking (interconnected cracks that look like reptile skin), significant potholes, or areas where the pavement has settled more than an inch. These problems indicate base failure that can’t be fixed with surface repairs. Standing water after rain is another sign that the drainage and grading need to be addressed with full reconstruction.
We provide honest assessments during our free estimates. Sometimes a good repair job can extend the life of existing pavement for several years, and we’ll tell you when that’s the better option. But when the base has failed, repairs are just throwing money away.
A typical residential driveway project takes 2-3 days from start to finish, though this varies based on size and site conditions. Day one involves excavation and site preparation, including proper grading and base installation. You’ll see significant disruption to your property access during this phase.
Day two typically involves asphalt installation and initial compaction. The asphalt will be hot and soft initially, so we restrict traffic for at least 24 hours. You can walk on new asphalt after a few hours, but vehicles need to stay off until it’s fully cured.
We clean up thoroughly and restore any landscaping or property features disturbed during construction. You’ll receive care instructions for your new pavement, including when it’s safe for heavy vehicles and how to maintain the surface for maximum lifespan. Our owner oversight ensures quality at every step.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and ensure compliance with local requirements for paving projects in Gansevoort and surrounding areas. Our 25 years of local experience means we understand what’s required and have established relationships with local officials.
Most residential driveway projects don’t require permits, but commercial work and projects affecting drainage or right-of-way areas often do. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with local authorities so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.
Our familiarity with local codes covers everything from setback requirements to stormwater management regulations. We ensure your project meets all standards from the start, avoiding delays or expensive corrections later. This local knowledge is part of what you get when you work with an established local contractor rather than an out-of-area company.
