Hear From Our Clients
A smooth, well-marked parking lot does more than provide parking spaces. It creates that crucial first impression that tells customers your business pays attention to details and cares about their safety.
When your pavement is level, properly drained, and clearly marked, customers feel confident walking to your door. No more navigating around potholes or wondering where they’re supposed to park. No more liability concerns about someone tripping on uneven surfaces.
The right parking lot paving job eliminates those nagging maintenance headaches too. Quality asphalt installation means fewer emergency repairs, lower long-term costs, and one less thing keeping you up at night worrying about your property.
We’ve been serving Ballston and the surrounding region for over 25 years. When you call us, you talk directly to the owner—not a sales rep who disappears after you sign the contract.
We’ve built our reputation on straightforward communication and honest pricing. No gimmicks, no surprise charges, no runaround. Just quality paving work delivered by people who live and work in this community.
Whether it’s a small business parking area or a large commercial lot, we approach every project with the same attention to detail. Because in a tight-knit area like Ballston, your reputation travels fast—and so does ours.
We start with a thorough site evaluation to understand your specific needs and any drainage challenges. Then we’ll walk you through exactly what needs to happen, when it will happen, and what it will cost—no hidden fees or last-minute changes.
The actual work begins with proper site preparation. We clear and grade the area, ensuring a stable foundation that will support years of traffic. If your existing pavement needs removal, we handle that efficiently with minimal disruption to your business operations.
Once the base is ready, we install the asphalt using professional-grade equipment and techniques. We pay attention to proper drainage slopes, clean edges, and smooth transitions. After the asphalt cures, we add line striping and any necessary signage to complete your functional, professional parking area.

Your parking lot paving project includes everything needed for a complete, professional result. We handle site preparation, proper drainage installation, quality asphalt application, and finishing touches like line striping and signage.
Ballston’s climate presents specific challenges for asphalt surfaces. Our winters can be harsh, and spring brings freeze-thaw cycles that test pavement durability. We account for these local conditions in our material selection and installation techniques, ensuring your parking lot stands up to everything upstate New York weather can deliver.
We also understand that Ballston businesses can’t afford extended downtime. That’s why we plan our work to minimize disruption to your operations, often completing projects in sections so you can maintain customer access throughout the process. Emergency response capability means we’re available when unexpected issues arise—because problems don’t wait for convenient timing.
Most commercial parking lot paving projects in Ballston take 2-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the job. We typically complete the actual paving in 1-2 days, but you need to factor in site preparation time and curing periods.
For smaller lots (under 5,000 square feet), we can often complete everything in 2-3 days. Larger projects or those requiring significant drainage work may take up to a week. We always provide a detailed timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Weather plays a role too. We won’t pave in wet conditions or when temperatures are too low, as this compromises the quality of the finished surface. We’d rather delay the project a day than deliver substandard results.
An overlay involves placing new asphalt over your existing pavement, while full-depth replacement means removing the old pavement completely and starting fresh. The right choice depends on the condition of your current surface and your long-term goals.
Overlay works well when your existing pavement has a solid foundation but surface wear from traffic and weather. It’s typically 30-50% less expensive than full replacement and can add 10-15 years to your parking lot’s life.
Full replacement is necessary when the base has failed, when there are significant drainage issues, or when the existing pavement has extensive cracking and settling. While more expensive upfront, it gives you a completely fresh start and typically lasts 20-25 years with proper maintenance.
Proper drainage is critical in upstate New York, where freeze-thaw cycles can destroy poorly drained pavement. We design every parking lot with appropriate slopes to direct water away from the surface and prevent pooling.
This typically means creating a minimum 1-2% grade toward designated drainage points. For larger lots, we may install catch basins or drainage systems to handle heavy rainfall and snowmelt. The goal is to get water off the surface quickly before it can penetrate the asphalt and cause damage.
We also pay special attention to the transition areas where your parking lot meets existing pavement or buildings. These are common problem spots where water can collect if not properly graded. Getting these details right during installation prevents expensive repairs later.
New asphalt should cure for 6-12 months before the first sealcoating application. This allows the oils in the asphalt to properly oxidize and the surface to harden sufficiently for the sealcoat to adhere properly.
After that initial application, most parking lots in Ballston benefit from sealcoating every 2-3 years. High-traffic areas or lots exposed to significant oil spills may need more frequent treatment. The timing also depends on the weather—we typically recommend sealcoating in late spring or early fall when temperatures are moderate.
Sealcoating protects your asphalt from UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills. It also gives your parking lot that fresh, black appearance that makes a positive impression on customers. Think of it as preventive maintenance that extends the life of your paving investment.
Absolutely. We understand that most businesses can’t shut down completely for paving work, so we plan our projects to minimize disruption to your operations. This might mean working in sections, scheduling around your peak hours, or coordinating with you on the best timing.
For retail businesses, we often recommend scheduling major paving work during slower periods or working in phases so you maintain customer access. We can typically keep at least partial access available throughout most of the project.
We’re also available for emergency repairs when needed. If you have a safety hazard that can’t wait, we’ll respond quickly to address immediate concerns and then schedule the comprehensive work at a more convenient time.
We stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. The specific terms depend on the scope of your project, but typically include coverage for settling, cracking due to installation issues, and premature surface deterioration.
What’s not covered are problems caused by factors beyond our control—like damage from snow plows, heavy vehicles exceeding the design load, or ground movement from utility work. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered before starting your project.
More importantly, we’ve been serving Ballston for over 25 years, and we plan to be here for the next 25. Our reputation depends on standing behind our work, so if there’s ever an issue with something we installed, we’ll make it right. That’s not just good business—it’s how we’ve built lasting relationships in this community.
