Hear From Our Clients
You’re not just getting a smooth surface—you’re getting peace of mind. No more worrying about spring pothole surprises or whether your driveway will hold up to another brutal winter.
Our asphalt installations are engineered for Galway’s climate challenges. That means proper drainage to prevent water pooling, materials selected for freeze-thaw resistance, and installation techniques that account for ground movement.
When neighbors drive by, they’ll notice. When you pull into your driveway after a long day, you’ll feel the difference a professionally built surface makes.
We’ve been handling paving projects in Galway and throughout Saratoga County for over two decades. We understand what works here—and what doesn’t.
Owner-operated means you get direct communication and hands-on oversight from start to finish. No middlemen, no confusion about who’s responsible for your project.
We’ve seen what happens when driveways aren’t built for local conditions. Galway’s rural setting and harsh winters demand contractors who know the area’s unique challenges, from soil conditions to weather patterns.
First, we assess your property’s drainage, soil conditions, and access requirements. Every site in Galway presents different challenges, and we plan accordingly.
Excavation and base preparation come next. This foundation work determines how your driveway performs long-term. We grade for proper water runoff and compact the base to prevent settling.
Asphalt installation happens when conditions are right. We use hot-mix asphalt designed for cold climates, applied at proper thickness and compacted to industry standards. Final grading ensures water flows away from your foundation and doesn’t pool on the surface.

Living in Galway means dealing with longer driveways, challenging access, and weather that tests every surface. Our paving services account for these realities.
We handle everything from standard residential driveways to longer rural access roads. Our excavation capabilities mean we can address drainage issues, grade corrections, and site preparation that other contractors can’t manage.
Winter emergency response sets us apart from seasonal contractors. When a pipe bursts and damages your driveway, or when spring reveals winter damage, we’re equipped to respond quickly. Rural properties can’t wait weeks for repairs.
With proper installation and maintenance, asphalt driveways typically last 20-25 years in our area. The key is building them right from the start.
Galway’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on pavement. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and creates bigger problems. We prevent this by using proper drainage, appropriate asphalt mixes, and installation techniques that account for ground movement.
Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years extends lifespan significantly. This protective layer prevents water infiltration and keeps your driveway looking fresh while protecting your investment.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt installation. We typically schedule paving projects from May through October when temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees.
Asphalt needs proper curing temperatures to achieve maximum strength and durability. Cold weather installations don’t cure properly and can lead to premature failure.
That said, we handle emergency repairs year-round. If winter damage creates safety hazards or access problems, we have cold-weather repair techniques to get you through until proper replacement can happen.
Drainage is critical for driveway longevity, especially on rural properties with longer runs and varied terrain. Poor drainage causes more driveway failures than anything else.
We start with proper site grading to direct water away from the driveway surface and your foundation. This often involves adjusting slopes, installing culverts, or creating drainage swales alongside the driveway.
For properties with persistent water problems, we can install subsurface drainage systems. These French drains or catch basins collect water before it reaches your driveway surface, preventing the pooling that leads to pavement breakdown.
We use hot-mix asphalt specifically designed for cold climates like ours. This isn’t the same material used in warmer regions—it’s engineered to handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking.
Our installation process includes proper base preparation, which many contractors rush through. We excavate to appropriate depth, install and compact aggregate base material, and ensure proper drainage before any asphalt goes down.
Owner oversight means quality control at every step. You’re not dealing with crews working unsupervised—the owner is on-site ensuring work meets our standards and your expectations.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent driveway issues. Rural properties can’t afford to lose access due to washouts, severe pothole damage, or other emergencies.
Emergency repairs focus on restoring safe access quickly. This might involve temporary patching, drainage corrections, or partial resurfacing depending on the situation.
We’re equipped to handle the excavation and site work that emergency repairs often require. Many paving contractors can only handle surface work—we can address underlying problems that cause driveway failures.
Driveway paving costs depend on size, site conditions, access difficulty, and current driveway condition. Rural properties often have unique challenges that affect pricing.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs. No hidden charges or surprise additions—you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
Our pricing reflects quality materials, proper installation techniques, and the owner oversight that ensures your project is done right. We’re typically competitive with other qualified contractors while delivering superior results and service.
