Your parking lot shouldn’t be a constant headache. Potholes, cracks, and uneven surfaces don’t just look bad—they’re liability risks that cost you money and stress. When pavement fails, customers notice. Employees complain. And you’re left wondering if the last contractor actually knew what they were doing.
We handle parking lot paving the way it should be done from the start. Proper base prep. Quality materials. Attention to drainage so water doesn’t pool and freeze. The kind of work that holds up through Adirondack winters and doesn’t need a redo in five years.
You get a parking lot built to last 20 to 30 years with the right care. No surprises. No runaround. Just honest work from someone who’s been doing this for over 25 years and actually answers the phone when you call.
We’ve been serving Brant Lake and the surrounding region for more than 25 years. The owner handles your project from the first conversation through completion—no sales team, no project manager you’ve never met. You talk directly to the person running the job.
That matters here. Brant Lake winters are brutal on pavement. Freeze-thaw cycles crack asphalt that wasn’t installed right. Poor drainage turns small problems into expensive repairs. You need someone who knows the local climate, understands how water moves on your property, and won’t cut corners to save a few bucks.
We bring that experience to every job, whether it’s a commercial parking lot or a residential driveway. Competitive pricing, emergency response when you need it, and the kind of straightforward communication that’s become rare in this industry.
First, the owner meets you on-site to assess the job. You walk the property together, talk about what’s needed, and get a clear picture of the scope. No generic quote sent over email—this is a real conversation about your specific situation.
Next comes the site prep. Old pavement gets removed if necessary. The ground is graded properly so water drains away from the surface, not into it. A solid base layer goes down—compacted aggregate that creates the foundation your parking lot needs to hold up under traffic and weather.
Then the asphalt gets installed. Hot-mix asphalt is applied in layers, compacted while it’s still workable, and finished with clean edges. If you need striping, ADA-compliant markings, or sealcoating down the line, we handle that too. The owner stays involved through every phase, so if something comes up, you hear about it directly and decisions get made fast.

Every parking lot paving job starts with proper site evaluation. We assess drainage, identify problem areas, and design a solution that fits your property’s layout and traffic patterns. In Brant Lake, that means accounting for heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and the kind of weather that tests pavement year-round.
You get quality asphalt installation with the right thickness for your use—whether that’s light residential traffic or heavy commercial loads. Proper compaction. Clean edges. Striping and ADA-compliant markings if your property requires them. Sealcoating to protect the surface from UV damage, water infiltration, and oxidation.
Maintenance matters too. Crack sealing should happen every few years to stop small cracks from becoming big problems. Sealcoating every 2 to 4 years extends the life of your pavement and keeps it looking fresh. We can handle that ongoing care or walk you through what to watch for if you prefer to manage it yourself. Either way, you’re not left guessing about what your parking lot needs or when.
A properly installed asphalt parking lot lasts 20 to 30 years with regular maintenance. That lifespan depends on a few things: the quality of the base prep, the thickness of the asphalt, how much traffic it gets, and whether you stay on top of crack sealing and sealcoating.
Brant Lake’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement. Water seeps into cracks, freezes, expands, and makes those cracks worse. If the base wasn’t installed right or drainage is poor, you’ll see problems a lot sooner. That’s why proper installation matters from day one.
Regular maintenance extends that lifespan. Crack sealing prevents water infiltration. Sealcoating protects against UV damage and oxidation. If you let small issues go, they turn into potholes and structural damage that cost a lot more to fix. Stay proactive, and your parking lot will serve you well for decades.
An asphalt overlay adds a new layer of asphalt on top of your existing pavement. It’s a cost-effective option when the base is still solid but the surface has worn down—think minor cracking, fading, or rough texture. The old surface gets cleaned and prepped, then a fresh layer goes on top. You get a smooth, clean parking lot without tearing everything out.
Full replacement means removing the old asphalt completely, addressing any base issues, and installing new pavement from the ground up. You need this when the base has failed, when there’s extensive cracking or potholes, or when drainage problems have compromised the structure. It costs more and takes longer, but it solves foundational problems that an overlay can’t fix.
We assess your parking lot and recommend the right approach based on what’s actually happening under the surface. If an overlay will do the job, that’s what you’ll hear. If the base needs work, you’ll know that too—no upselling, just honest advice about what your property needs.
Parking lot paving typically costs between $2 and $7 per square foot, depending on the size of the job, site conditions, and what’s included. A small lot with good drainage and easy access costs less per square foot than a larger project with grading issues or difficult site access.
Site prep affects the price. If the ground needs extensive grading, if there’s old pavement to remove, or if drainage systems need to be installed, that adds to the cost. Thicker asphalt for heavy traffic costs more than a standard residential application. Striping, ADA-compliant markings, and sealcoating are additional line items.
We provide transparent quotes after walking the site with you. You’ll know what’s included, what drives the cost, and what options you have. No hidden fees, no surprises when the invoice comes. Just a clear breakdown so you can make an informed decision about your project.
Late spring through early fall is ideal for asphalt paving in Brant Lake. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to cure properly—ideally above 50 degrees, with dry conditions. Cold weather makes the material harder to work with and can affect how well it compacts and bonds.
That doesn’t mean you’re stuck waiting if you have an urgent need outside that window. Emergency repairs can happen year-round, though the methods might differ. Temporary patching with cold-mix asphalt can hold you over until conditions are right for a permanent fix.
We plan projects around weather and your schedule. If you’re managing a commercial property, we’ll work with you to minimize disruption—paving during off-hours or in phases so your business stays open. Timing matters, but so does flexibility when you need pavement fixed fast.
Yes, sealcoating protects your asphalt and extends its lifespan. It creates a barrier against UV rays, water, oil, and chemicals that break down the pavement over time. Without it, asphalt oxidizes, turns brittle, and cracks faster. Sealcoating also keeps your parking lot looking clean and professional.
You should sealcoat every 2 to 4 years, depending on traffic and weather exposure. High-traffic commercial lots may need it more often. Residential driveways with lighter use can go longer between applications. The key is not waiting until the pavement looks terrible—by then, you’re behind on maintenance.
New asphalt shouldn’t be sealed right away. It needs 6 to 12 months to cure fully before the first sealcoat goes on. After that, staying on a regular schedule keeps your investment protected. We can handle sealcoating as part of an ongoing maintenance plan or as a standalone service when it’s time.
Look for experience, references, and direct communication. A contractor who’s been in business for years has a track record you can verify. Ask for references from past clients—commercial properties if that’s your project, residential if it’s a driveway. Check whether they’re licensed and insured, because that protects you if something goes wrong.
Pay attention to how they communicate. Do they show up on time for the site visit? Do they explain the process clearly? Do they provide a detailed, written quote that breaks down costs? If a contractor is vague, hard to reach, or pushes you to sign fast, that’s a red flag.
We’re owner-operated, so you’re talking directly to the person running your job. No sales team, no project manager who disappears after you sign. You get honest answers, competitive pricing, and someone who’s been doing this for over 25 years. That kind of direct access makes a difference when you need clear information or have questions mid-project.
