Hear From Our Clients
Your asphalt project gets done correctly the first time. No callbacks for cracking, pooling, or premature failure because we don’t cut corners on base preparation or material thickness.
You get direct access to the owner throughout your project. No middlemen, no confusion about what’s happening, and no surprises when it comes to timeline or cost.
Your investment holds up through Silver Bay’s changing seasons. Proper drainage, quality materials, and experienced installation mean fewer repairs and longer-lasting surfaces that handle Lake George area weather.
We’ve been serving Silver Bay and the greater Warren County area since the late 1990s. We’re the local asphalt company that handles everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots for the YMCA conference center and area businesses.
You work directly with the owner from estimate to completion. No sales teams, no project managers who disappear, no wondering who’s actually responsible for your job.
We understand Silver Bay’s unique needs. The seasonal influx of conference visitors, the Lake George tourism traffic, and the way our winters affect pavement surfaces. That local knowledge shows up in how we prep your base and plan your project.
First, we evaluate your existing surface and subbase conditions. Many contractors skip this step, but it’s critical for preventing future problems. We measure, test, and identify any drainage or stability issues before giving you a quote.
Next comes proper preparation. We remove damaged material, grade for proper drainage, and compact the base to specifications. This isn’t the glamorous part, but it’s what determines whether your asphalt lasts 5 years or 20 years.
Finally, we install your asphalt at the correct thickness and compact it properly. We use quality materials from local suppliers and follow industry standards for temperature, timing, and finishing. You get a surface that’s smooth, durable, and ready for Silver Bay’s climate challenges.

We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and seasonal repairs throughout Warren County. From small residential projects to larger commercial installations serving the tourism and conference industry around Lake George.
Silver Bay’s unique location means dealing with heavy seasonal traffic, freeze-thaw cycles, and the occasional emergency repair when conference groups need access restored quickly. We’re equipped for standard installations and emergency response.
Our service area includes all of Silver Bay, Hague, Bolton Landing, and the surrounding Lake George region. We know the local suppliers, understand the permitting requirements, and have relationships with the utility companies when underground work is needed.
Most residential driveways in Silver Bay take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and base preparation needs. Day one typically involves removal of old material and base preparation. Day two is asphalt installation and compaction.
Commercial projects like parking lots take longer, usually 3-5 days for average-sized lots. Weather plays a role in timing, especially during Silver Bay’s spring and fall seasons when temperatures can be unpredictable.
We always give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if weather or unforeseen conditions affect the schedule. Emergency repairs can often be completed the same day when access is critical for businesses or conference center operations.
In Silver Bay, late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt installation. We typically work from April through October, when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees and weather is more predictable.
Summer is peak season, especially with the Lake George tourism traffic and conference center activity. If you’re planning a project, early spring or late summer often provides better scheduling flexibility and sometimes better pricing.
Winter emergency repairs are possible but limited to temporary solutions. We shift to excavation and foundation work during the coldest months, then return to asphalt projects when conditions improve.
Residential driveways in Silver Bay typically need 2-3 inches of compacted asphalt over a properly prepared base. This thickness handles normal vehicle traffic and our local climate conditions without premature cracking or rutting.
Commercial applications require thicker asphalt, usually 3-4 inches, depending on expected traffic loads. The YMCA conference center parking areas, for example, need heavier construction to handle bus traffic and higher vehicle volumes during peak seasons.
The key isn’t just thickness—it’s proper base preparation underneath. We always measure thickness after compaction, not before, so you know exactly what you’re getting. Many contractors quote pre-compaction thickness, which can be misleading.
Yes, we provide emergency response for critical access issues throughout Silver Bay and the Lake George area. This includes situations where conference center access is compromised or when potholes create safety hazards for residents.
Emergency repairs typically involve temporary patching to restore safe access, followed by permanent solutions when weather and scheduling allow. We carry patching materials and can respond quickly when businesses or residents face urgent access problems.
Our emergency service covers major access routes, commercial properties, and residential situations where safety is a concern. We prioritize based on severity and work to get temporary solutions in place quickly, then schedule proper permanent repairs.
Drainage is critical in Silver Bay due to our proximity to Lake George and the area’s topography. We always evaluate drainage patterns before starting any asphalt project and design proper slopes to direct water away from paved surfaces.
Most driveways require a minimum 2% slope to prevent water pooling, but Silver Bay’s terrain sometimes requires creative solutions. We work with natural drainage patterns and sometimes install additional drainage infrastructure when needed.
Poor drainage is the fastest way to destroy asphalt through freeze-thaw cycles and base erosion. We take extra care with drainage design because Silver Bay’s climate makes this especially important for long-term pavement performance.
You work directly with the owner throughout your project. No sales teams, no project managers who disappear after the contract is signed. When you call, you get someone who knows your project and can make decisions immediately.
We’ve been serving Silver Bay and Warren County for over 25 years. That means we understand local conditions, have relationships with suppliers, and know what works in our climate. We’re not learning on your project.
Our pricing is straightforward and competitive. We don’t use high-pressure sales tactics or limited-time offers. We measure thickness after compaction, explain what we’re doing and why, and stand behind our work because we live and work in this community.
