Hear From Our Clients
You get a driveway that handles New York’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles without cracking apart in two years. No more dodging potholes or worrying about what visitors think when they pull up to your property.
Your investment pays off in fewer repairs, better drainage, and real protection for your vehicles. When winter hits hard and your neighbors are dealing with crumbling asphalt, you’ll have a surface built to last decades.
The difference shows immediately. Smooth access to your home, improved property value, and the confidence that comes from working with someone who’s been solving these problems for over 25 years right here in the community.
We’ve been the go-to paving company in Hagedorns Mills for over 25 years. We’re not the guys who show up, lay some asphalt, and disappear.
You work directly with the owner from your first call through project completion. No middlemen, no confusion, no surprises. We handle everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots, plus excavation and foundation work when winter slows down paving season.
Local property owners choose us because we understand what Central New York weather does to pavement. We use the right materials and proven methods that hold up against the region’s harsh conditions, not shortcuts that fail in three years.
First, we assess your existing surface and drainage situation. Most problems start with water getting where it shouldn’t, so we address that from the beginning.
Next comes proper base preparation. We remove damaged material, grade for optimal drainage, and install a solid foundation. This step determines whether your driveway lasts five years or twenty-five.
Then we apply the asphalt using proven techniques and quality materials designed for New York’s climate. Our equipment and crew stay on-site until the job meets our standards, not just “good enough.” You’ll know the timeline upfront and get updates throughout the process.

You get comprehensive paving services designed for Central New York conditions. Residential driveways, commercial parking lots, asphalt repairs, and sealcoating all handled by the same experienced crew.
We also provide excavation and foundation services, which matters more than you might think. Many paving problems start below the surface with poor drainage or inadequate base work. Having one contractor handle both eliminates finger-pointing and ensures everything works together.
Emergency response is available because we know pavement problems don’t wait for convenient timing. Whether it’s a pothole creating liability issues or damage from harsh weather, we can address urgent situations quickly. Our local presence means faster response times than companies based hours away.
Properly installed asphalt typically lasts 15-25 years in Central New York, with some surfaces reaching 30+ years with good maintenance. The key is using the right materials and installation techniques for our freeze-thaw cycles.
Many failures happen because contractors use methods that work fine in milder climates but can’t handle our temperature swings. We use region-specific approaches and proven materials that expand and contract without cracking. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years extends life significantly by preventing water penetration.
April through October gives the best results for asphalt paving in our area. Asphalt needs temperatures consistently above 50°F to compact properly and cure correctly.
Cold weather paving often leads to problems because the material doesn’t bond properly or achieve adequate density. We schedule most paving during optimal weather windows to ensure quality results. Emergency repairs can be done year-round using specialized techniques, but new installations should wait for proper conditions.
Planning ahead for spring installation often gets better scheduling and pricing than waiting until everyone else realizes they need work done.
Residential driveway paving typically runs $4-7 per square foot, depending on your specific situation. Factors include existing surface condition, drainage requirements, access challenges, and material thickness needed.
A standard 600 square foot driveway replacement generally costs $2,400-4,200, while larger or more complex projects run higher. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront – no surprises or hidden fees.
The investment pays off through increased property value, reduced maintenance costs, and avoiding the safety and vehicle damage risks that come with deteriorated surfaces.
Many asphalt problems can be repaired if caught early and the base structure remains sound. Crack filling, patching, and resurfacing often provide excellent results at a fraction of replacement cost.
We assess each situation individually because the right solution depends on damage extent, age of existing pavement, and underlying base condition. Surface cracks and minor settling issues usually repair well, while extensive cracking or base failure typically requires replacement.
Honest evaluation saves you money when repairs work and prevents throwing good money after bad when replacement is the only lasting solution.
Yes, we handle commercial parking lots, loading areas, and access roads throughout the region. Commercial projects require different materials, techniques, and scheduling than residential work.
We understand the unique challenges of commercial paving – heavier traffic loads, drainage requirements, ADA compliance, and minimizing business disruption during installation. Our experience includes retail centers, office complexes, and industrial facilities.
Commercial clients appreciate our direct communication, realistic timelines, and ability to work around business operations when needed. We also provide ongoing maintenance services to protect your pavement investment.
Freeze-thaw cycles are the biggest threat to asphalt in our climate. Water gets into small cracks, freezes and expands, then creates larger cracks that let in more water – the cycle repeats until you have serious damage.
Poor drainage compounds the problem by allowing water to pool and penetrate the surface. Many failures also stem from inadequate base preparation or using materials not designed for temperature extremes. Skipping regular maintenance like crack sealing and sealcoating accelerates deterioration.
Understanding these factors helps us install driveways that resist local conditions and recommend maintenance timing that prevents small problems from becoming expensive replacements.
