Hear From Our Clients
A professionally paved driveway does more than look good—it adds $5,000 to $20,000 in home value while eliminating the constant headaches of gravel maintenance. No more muddy ruts after every storm. No more loose stones scattered across your lawn. No more explaining to visitors why your entrance looks rough around the edges.
You get a smooth, durable surface that handles New York winters better than concrete. Asphalt stays flexible when temperatures drop and melts snow faster thanks to its dark surface. Oil stains and everyday wear blend right in instead of standing out like they would on lighter materials.
The difference shows immediately and lasts for decades when done right.
We’ve been serving Ruback Camp and the surrounding region for over 25 years. We’re owner-operated, which means you deal directly with the person responsible for your project from start to finish.
This isn’t a corporate operation where your job gets passed down a chain of subcontractors. When you call, you’re talking to someone who’s been doing this work since before paving scams became headline news in Montgomery County and beyond. We’ve built our reputation on straight talk, fair pricing, and work that holds up through multiple harsh New York winters.
Local property owners know they can count on us for emergency repairs, seasonal projects, and major installations alike.
First, we assess your current surface and drainage situation. Poor preparation kills even the best asphalt, so we take time to get the foundation right. This includes proper grading and addressing any water flow issues that could undermine your new pavement.
Next comes the base preparation. We remove old, damaged material and install the right thickness of compacted stone base for your specific traffic needs. Residential driveways get different treatment than commercial parking lots that handle delivery trucks.
Finally, we install and compact the asphalt while it’s at optimal temperature. The timing matters—asphalt needs to be hot enough to compact properly but not so hot it can’t hold its shape. We coordinate delivery and installation to hit that sweet spot every time.
You can drive on most surfaces within 72 hours, with full curing complete in about 30 days.

Our services cover the full range of asphalt and paving needs in Ruback Camp. Residential driveways, commercial parking lots, private roads, and emergency repairs all get the same attention to detail and owner involvement.
For commercial clients, we understand that your parking lot affects customer perception and employee safety. Cracked, uneven surfaces create liability issues and send the wrong message about your business. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption and deliver results that enhance your property’s professional appearance.
Winter brings different challenges in our region. When other contractors shut down, we shift focus to foundation work, excavation, and land clearing projects. This year-round capability means you’re not waiting months for callback service when urgent repairs come up.
We also handle the permit process and coordinate with local authorities when required, taking that administrative burden off your shoulders.
Driveway paving costs in our area typically range from $4 to $7 per square foot for residential projects, with most homeowners investing between $4,000 and $8,000 for a complete installation. The final price depends on your driveway’s size, current condition, and any prep work needed.
Factors that affect cost include whether we’re working with an existing paved surface or starting from scratch, drainage requirements, and the thickness of asphalt needed for your specific traffic patterns. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Keep in mind that quality paving typically pays for itself through increased property value and reduced maintenance over the 20-25 year lifespan of properly installed asphalt.
The optimal paving season in New York runs from April through October when temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees during installation and curing. Asphalt needs warm conditions to compact properly and achieve maximum durability.
We can handle some projects outside this window depending on weather conditions, but spring through fall gives you the best results. Early spring and late fall appointments often have more flexible scheduling since demand is lower than peak summer months.
If you’re planning a project, contact us in early spring to secure your preferred timing. Emergency repairs can’t wait for perfect weather, and we maintain capability to handle urgent situations year-round, though results may require follow-up work once conditions improve.
You can typically drive light vehicles on new asphalt after 72 hours, but the full curing process takes about 30 days. During this period, avoid parking in the same spots repeatedly and be extra careful with sharp turns or heavy loads.
The asphalt will feel firm after three days, but it’s still gaining strength. Heavy vehicles like delivery trucks should wait at least a week. Hot weather can extend these timeframes since asphalt stays softer longer in high temperatures.
We’ll give you specific guidance based on the weather forecast and your particular installation. Following our recommendations protects your investment and ensures you get the full lifespan from your new pavement.
Yes, we handle commercial paving projects of all sizes, from small business parking areas to large retail and industrial facilities. Commercial work requires different planning than residential driveways due to heavier traffic loads, drainage requirements, and business operation schedules.
We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your business operations, often working evenings or weekends when necessary. Our commercial clients appreciate that the owner stays involved throughout the project, ensuring quality control and direct communication about any issues that arise.
Commercial paving also involves striping, ADA compliance, and sometimes specialized surfaces for specific industries. We handle these requirements and work with local authorities on permits and inspections to keep your project moving smoothly.
Asphalt offers several advantages over concrete, especially in New York’s climate. It costs about 50% less than concrete upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better due to its flexibility. Concrete tends to crack when water freezes in small cracks, while asphalt can flex and return to its original shape.
The dark surface of asphalt melts snow and ice faster than concrete, reducing winter maintenance. Stains from oil, gas, or everyday wear blend into asphalt’s natural color instead of standing out like they do on light concrete surfaces.
Maintenance is also simpler with asphalt. Sealcoating every few years keeps it looking fresh and extends its life, while concrete repairs often require complete sections to be replaced. When asphalt does need major work, it can often be resurfaced rather than completely torn out.
Unfortunately, paving scams have increased in our region, with unlicensed operators targeting homeowners with door-to-door sales and too-good-to-be-true pricing. Legitimate contractors don’t typically show up unannounced claiming to have leftover materials from another job.
Always verify that your contractor is properly licensed and insured. Ask for local references and check with the Better Business Bureau. Be wary of cash-only deals, high-pressure sales tactics, or contractors who can’t provide a local business address and phone number.
Get detailed written estimates that specify materials, thickness, and timeline. Reputable contractors will explain the process, answer questions about permits if needed, and provide warranties on their work. When in doubt, get a second opinion before signing anything.
