Hear From Our Clients
Your property deserves asphalt work that stands up to Hadley’s harsh winters and hot summers. When we’re done, you get smooth surfaces that drain properly, resist cracking, and maintain their appearance for decades.
No more worrying about whether your contractor knows the difference between proper fall installation and rushed summer work. We time every project for optimal weather conditions, use quality materials designed for New York’s climate, and compact everything to the right density the first time.
You’ll have direct access to the owner throughout the entire process. No middlemen, no surprises, no wondering what’s happening with your project.
We’ve served Hadley and the surrounding region for over 25 years as a family-owned, owner-operated business. We’ve built our reputation on competitive pricing, straightforward communication, and quality workmanship that lasts.
Unlike larger companies where you never know who’s actually running your job, you work directly with the owner from first contact to project completion. We know Hadley’s soil conditions, drainage patterns, and weather challenges because we’ve been paving here for decades.
Our deep community roots mean we’re not going anywhere. When you call us in five years with a question, we’ll still be here to help.
We start with a detailed consultation where the owner personally assesses your project and explains exactly what needs to happen. You get a transparent estimate with no hidden costs or surprise charges.
Next comes proper site preparation. We excavate to the right depth, ensure proper drainage, and prepare a solid base that won’t shift or settle. This foundation work is what separates quality paving from the cheap jobs that fail in two years.
Then we time the actual paving for optimal weather conditions. Hot mix asphalt needs temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions to cure properly. We coordinate materials and scheduling to hit that sweet spot when everything comes together perfectly.

We handle everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots, plus excavation and foundation work. This means we can tackle complex projects that require multiple phases without coordinating between different contractors.
Hadley’s climate creates specific challenges other regions don’t face. Our 18-year asphalt lifespan expectation factors in freeze-thaw cycles, snow load, and the salt exposure that’s inevitable here. We use materials and techniques proven to handle these conditions.
We also offer emergency response capability. When your parking lot develops a dangerous pothole in February, or spring thaw damages your driveway access, we can provide temporary solutions and schedule permanent repairs as soon as weather permits.
The optimal paving season in Hadley runs from May through September, with fall being ideal for most projects. Asphalt needs temperatures consistently above 50°F for proper installation and curing.
We typically recommend scheduling your project for September or early October when temperatures are moderate, weather is more predictable, and we have better scheduling flexibility. Summer works well too, but we often need to start early in the morning to avoid excessive heat that can make the asphalt too soft.
Winter paving is possible for emergency situations, but we use special techniques and heated equipment to maintain proper material temperatures. Spring can be tricky due to ground thaw and unpredictable weather, so planning ahead for fall installation usually gives you the best results.
Properly installed asphalt typically lasts 18-20 years in Hadley when it’s installed correctly and maintained appropriately. The key factors are proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation during optimal weather conditions.
Hadley’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement, but quality asphalt with proper drainage and the right thickness can handle these temperature swings. We use materials specifically designed for northern climates and ensure proper compaction to prevent water infiltration.
Regular maintenance like sealcoating every 2-3 years and prompt crack repair can extend your pavement’s life significantly. The initial investment in quality installation pays off because you avoid the expense and hassle of premature replacement.
We’re owner-operated, which means you work directly with the person responsible for your project from start to finish. No sales reps, no project managers you never meet – just direct communication with someone who has 25+ years of experience and stands behind every job.
Our competitive pricing comes from efficient operations and honest estimates, not cutting corners on materials or labor. We provide detailed project documentation and clear timelines so you know exactly what to expect and when.
We also offer emergency response capability and year-round availability. When other contractors are busy with spring rush or unavailable in winter, we can handle urgent situations and provide solutions that work with your schedule, not just ours.
Yes, we handle everything from residential driveways to large commercial parking lots, plus the excavation and foundation work that often goes with these projects. This comprehensive capability means you don’t need to coordinate between multiple contractors.
For residential work, we focus on proper drainage, appropriate thickness for your vehicle loads, and integration with existing landscaping. Commercial projects require different considerations like traffic patterns, ADA compliance, and coordination with business operations.
Our experience with both residential and commercial work gives us insight into what actually works long-term. We’ve seen what fails and what lasts, so we can recommend the right approach for your specific situation and budget.
Weather is always a factor in asphalt work, especially in Hadley where conditions can change quickly. We monitor forecasts closely and communicate proactively about any necessary schedule adjustments.
If rain threatens or temperatures drop unexpectedly, we’ll contact you immediately to discuss options. Sometimes we can work around brief weather windows, other times it’s better to wait for proper conditions rather than compromise quality.
Our owner-operated structure means these decisions get made quickly by someone who understands both the technical requirements and your project needs. We don’t leave you wondering what’s happening – you get direct communication about any changes and realistic timelines for completion.
The process starts with site preparation, which often takes longer than the actual paving but is crucial for long-term durability. We excavate to proper depth, address drainage issues, and prepare a solid base that won’t shift or settle.
On paving day, we coordinate hot mix delivery with our installation schedule to ensure the asphalt maintains proper temperature throughout the process. The actual paving typically moves quickly, but proper compaction and finishing take time to do right.
After paving, the surface needs time to cure before heavy use. We’ll give you specific guidance about when you can drive on it and any temporary restrictions. Most residential driveways can handle light traffic within 24-48 hours, but full curing takes several days depending on weather conditions.
