Your driveway becomes a smooth, durable surface that adds real value to your property. No more dealing with potholes, drainage issues, or embarrassing cracks that make your home look neglected.
A professionally paved driveway means easier snow removal in winter and a surface that actually lasts. You’ll have a clean, attractive entrance that handles daily traffic without breaking down after a few seasons.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing the job was done right the first time. No callbacks, no excuses, no wondering if you made the right choice.
We’ve been serving Fenimore and the surrounding region for over 25 years as an owner-operated paving company. You work directly with experienced professionals who understand local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and how to build driveways that survive upstate New York winters.

We provide comprehensive driveway paving services including asphalt installation, concrete work, and complete excavation services. Each project includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and professional installation designed for local conditions.
In Fenimore’s climate, proper drainage and foundation work aren’t optional—they’re essential for long-term performance. The harsh freeze-thaw cycles can destroy poorly installed driveways within a few seasons, which is why professional installation matters.
You also get the benefit of working with contractors who understand local building requirements and have established relationships with suppliers. This means better materials at competitive prices and projects that meet all necessary standards.
Every project includes detailed documentation, clear timelines, and direct owner oversight to ensure quality results that last.
A properly installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 15-20 years in upstate New York’s climate, while concrete can last 25-30 years or more with proper maintenance. The key is professional installation with adequate base preparation and proper drainage.
Fenimore’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on driveways, which is why the foundation work matters so much. Cheap installations often fail within 3-5 years because contractors skip the proper base preparation to save money.
Professional installation costs more upfront but saves you money long-term by avoiding premature replacement and constant repairs.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving, typically May through October in the Fenimore area. Asphalt needs warm temperatures for proper installation and curing.
However, site preparation and excavation work can often be done earlier in the season, which helps get your project scheduled when paving conditions are optimal. Planning ahead is important because good contractors book up during peak season.
Winter months are ideal for planning and getting estimates, plus some contractors offer better pricing during their slower season. We provide year-round consultation and can handle site prep work when weather permits.
Professional driveway paving in the Fenimore area typically costs $7-13 per square foot for asphalt, depending on site conditions, access, and project complexity. A standard two-car driveway (600 square feet) generally runs $4,200-$7,800 installed.
Factors that affect cost include excavation requirements, drainage needs, driveway length and width, and site accessibility. Steep grades or difficult access can increase costs, while simple, flat installations stay on the lower end of the range.
Always get detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional services. Beware of estimates that seem too low—they often indicate corners will be cut on preparation or materials quality.
Most driveway replacements don’t require permits in Fenimore, but new driveways or significant changes to drainage patterns might need approval. Your contractor should know local requirements and handle any necessary permits.
If your project involves changing the driveway location, adding culverts, or modifying drainage that affects neighboring properties, permits are usually required. Commercial properties often have different requirements than residential.
We handle permit research and applications when needed, so you don’t have to navigate local regulations yourself. We know what triggers permit requirements and ensure all work meets local codes.
New asphalt driveways should be sealed 6-12 months after installation, then resealed every 3-5 years to protect against water penetration and freeze damage. Concrete driveways need less frequent sealing but benefit from crack repair as needed.
Regular maintenance includes keeping the surface clean, promptly filling small cracks before they expand, and ensuring proper drainage around the driveway edges. Winter maintenance means careful snow removal to avoid damage from plowing or heavy equipment.
The investment in regular maintenance pays off by extending your driveway’s life significantly. A well-maintained driveway can last twice as long as one that’s neglected, making maintenance much cheaper than premature replacement.
Look for contractors with local experience, proper licensing and insurance, and a track record of quality work in your area. Ask for references from recent projects and check their reputation with local suppliers and past customers.
Get detailed written estimates that specify materials, methods, and timelines. Good contractors will explain the process, answer your questions thoroughly, and provide clear documentation. Avoid contractors who demand large upfront payments or pressure you to sign immediately.
Our 25+ years of local experience means we understand Fenimore’s specific challenges and have proven methods that work in this climate. We provide transparent pricing, direct owner communication, and stand behind our work long-term.
