Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway stops being a problem you think about twice a year. No more spring pothole surprises or wondering if this winter will finally finish off that cracked section you’ve been nursing along.
When paving is done right the first time, you get smooth access to your property regardless of weather. Your investment holds its value instead of crumbling away with each freeze-thaw cycle.
The peace of mind is worth it alone—knowing you can pull into your driveway without dodging craters or worrying about scraping your car’s undercarriage on uneven patches.
We’ve been handling paving, asphalt, excavation, and foundation work in Pottersville and the surrounding Adirondack region for over 25 years. When you call, you talk directly to the owner—not a sales rep who’s never held a paving rake.
This isn’t about being the cheapest option in town. It’s about understanding that your driveway needs to survive Warren County winters, not just look good for the estimate photos.
You get straightforward communication about what your project actually needs, competitive pricing without the runaround, and someone who’ll be here next year if something needs attention.
First, we assess your existing surface and drainage situation. Many paving problems start with water that has nowhere to go, so we address the foundation before laying new asphalt.
Next comes proper preparation—excavation if needed, grading for proper water flow, and installing the right base material for your specific soil conditions and intended use. Shortcuts here cause problems later.
Then we install your new asphalt surface using proper techniques and materials suited for our local climate. The job isn’t finished until we’ve cleaned up completely and walked through everything with you to make sure it meets expectations.

Every paving project includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques that account for local weather conditions. You’re not paying for corners to be cut on the parts you can’t see.
In Pottersville’s climate, this means paying attention to drainage, using appropriate asphalt mixes for freeze-thaw cycles, and ensuring proper compaction. The Adirondack region puts pavement through more stress than most areas—your contractor should understand that.
For commercial properties, we handle everything from small parking areas to large lots, including line striping and proper traffic flow design. Emergency response is available because weather doesn’t wait for convenient timing.
Properly installed asphalt typically lasts 15-20 years in our climate, but that depends heavily on installation quality and drainage. The freeze-thaw cycles we get here are particularly hard on pavement that wasn’t installed correctly from the start.
The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate drainage, and using asphalt mixes designed for temperature extremes. Many premature failures happen because contractors skip steps during installation to save time or money.
With proper maintenance like sealcoating every 3-5 years and addressing small cracks promptly, you can extend that lifespan significantly. But it starts with doing the installation right the first time.
Late spring through early fall gives us the best conditions for asphalt installation. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to cure properly, so we typically avoid paving when temperatures consistently drop below 50 degrees.
However, we stay busy year-round with excavation, foundation work, and land clearing during winter months. Emergency repairs sometimes can’t wait for perfect weather, and we have techniques for handling urgent situations.
Planning ahead for spring installation is smart—it lets you get on the schedule early and ensures your project gets done during optimal conditions rather than being rushed in at the end of the season.
Drainage is the foundation of any lasting paving job, especially here where we get significant snowmelt and spring runoff. We evaluate the natural water flow patterns and design proper grading before any asphalt goes down.
This often means installing culverts, creating proper crown in the driveway surface, or adding drainage ditches where needed. Water that sits on or under pavement will cause problems—it’s not a matter of if, but when.
Sometimes the drainage solution is simple grading adjustments. Other times it requires more extensive work like installing underground drainage systems. We’ll explain what your specific situation needs and why it matters for the longevity of your investment.
The biggest difference is usually in what’s not included in rock-bottom quotes. Proper excavation depth, adequate base material, and appropriate asphalt thickness all cost money—but they’re not optional if you want lasting results.
We provide detailed estimates that explain exactly what work is included and why each step matters. This lets you make an informed decision rather than comparing apples to oranges between different proposals.
The cheapest quote often becomes the most expensive option when you factor in premature replacement, ongoing repairs, and the hassle of dealing with contractors who cut corners. Our pricing reflects doing the job properly from the start.
Yes, we work on everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots and industrial sites. The principles of good paving are the same regardless of size—proper preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques suited for the intended use.
Commercial projects often have additional requirements like specific load ratings, ADA compliance, or coordinated scheduling to minimize business disruption. We’re experienced with these considerations and can work within your operational needs.
Whether it’s a single-car driveway or a multi-acre parking facility, every project gets the same attention to detail and direct owner involvement. The scale changes, but the commitment to quality work doesn’t.
You deal directly with the owner who did your work—not a customer service department or answering service. If something needs attention, you call the same number and talk to the same person who handled your original project.
Most issues that arise are minor and easily addressed, especially when the installation was done properly from the start. But when problems do occur, having direct access to the decision-maker makes resolution much faster and more straightforward.
This is one of the advantages of working with an owner-operated business that’s been serving the local area for 25 years. We’re not going anywhere, and our reputation depends on standing behind our work long-term.
