Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway won’t crack apart after one winter when it’s installed right the first time. We use proper base preparation and quality materials that handle the temperature swings from summer heat to subzero cold.
You get asphalt that stays smooth through years of snow plows and ice. No more spring surprises with chunks missing or water pooling where it shouldn’t.
The difference shows up every time you pull into your driveway without dodging potholes or worrying about scraping your car.
We’ve been handling asphalt projects across Warren County since before GPS was standard equipment. We know exactly what Riparius winters do to pavement and how to build for it.
You work directly with the owner from your first call through project completion. No sales reps, no project managers who disappear, no phone tag with corporate offices.
We’ve seen every type of foundation issue, drainage problem, and weather challenge this area throws at contractors. That experience shows up in how we plan your project and handle the unexpected.
First, we evaluate your site conditions, drainage patterns, and soil stability. Riparius properties often need specific base preparation due to freeze-thaw soil movement.
Next, we prepare the base with proper grading and compaction. This step determines whether your asphalt survives multiple winters or starts cracking by spring.
Then we install the asphalt at optimal thickness for your specific use and local weather conditions. We time the work for ideal temperature and weather windows.
Finally, we ensure proper curing and provide maintenance guidance specific to Adirondack weather patterns. You know exactly what to expect and when.

We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and site preparation for new construction. When paving season ends, we shift to foundation work and excavation through winter months.
Emergency repairs get priority response because we understand that winter damage can’t wait until spring. Broken pavement becomes dangerous pavement fast in our climate.
Our service area covers Warren County and surrounding regions where we’ve built relationships with suppliers and understand local permitting requirements. We coordinate materials delivery and scheduling to keep your project moving efficiently.
Properly installed asphalt in Riparius typically lasts 15-20 years with routine maintenance. The key factors are base preparation, proper thickness, and quality materials that handle our freeze-thaw cycles.
Many asphalt failures happen within the first 2-3 winters because contractors don’t account for soil movement and water infiltration. We build for local conditions from day one.
Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years and prompt crack repair extend lifespan significantly. Winter damage that’s addressed quickly doesn’t become expensive replacement projects.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions, typically May through September. We need consistent temperatures above 50 degrees for proper installation and curing.
Early season work often offers better scheduling flexibility before the summer rush. Fall installations need sufficient curing time before winter weather arrives.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and may adjust schedules to avoid rain or temperature drops during critical installation phases. Emergency repairs happen year-round when safety requires immediate attention.
Residential driveways typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on thickness, base preparation needs, and site access. Commercial projects vary based on traffic requirements and specifications.
Base preparation often represents 40-50% of total project cost but determines long-term performance. Skipping proper base work to save money upfront leads to expensive repairs within a few years.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and preparation work. No hidden costs or surprise charges when the project starts.
Yes, we handle everything from crack sealing to full-depth patching and overlay work. The repair method depends on the extent of damage and remaining pavement condition.
Small cracks and surface issues often need immediate attention to prevent water infiltration and freeze-thaw expansion. Larger problems may require removing and replacing damaged sections.
We assess the underlying cause of damage, not just the surface symptoms. Poor drainage or inadequate base preparation will cause problems to return without addressing root issues.
Absolutely. Winter storms and freeze-thaw cycles can create dangerous conditions that need immediate attention. We respond to emergency calls when safety is at risk.
Emergency repairs focus on making areas safe and preventing further damage until permanent repairs can be completed. This might involve temporary patching or barrier installation.
We carry emergency repair materials and equipment to handle urgent situations. Property owners shouldn’t have to wait weeks for repairs that affect safety or property access.
Annual inspection for cracks and drainage issues prevents small problems from becoming major repairs. Spring inspections after winter are especially important in our climate.
Sealcoating every 3-4 years protects against water infiltration and UV damage. Prompt crack repair prevents freeze-thaw expansion that destroys pavement from within.
Good drainage maintenance keeps water from pooling on or under the asphalt. Standing water accelerates deterioration and creates ice hazards during winter months.
