Hear From Our Clients
You need a parking lot that handles Chestertown’s tough winters without cracking apart by spring. That means proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation that’s done right the first time.
When your parking lot works properly, your customers can focus on your business instead of dodging potholes. Your property looks professional. Your liability concerns disappear. And you’re not calling contractors every year for emergency patches.
We’ve been solving these exact problems for over 25 years in the local area. Our owner-operated approach means you get experienced oversight on every project, not just whoever shows up that day.
We’ve served the Chestertown area for over 25 years with the same owner involvement that started the company. You deal directly with someone who has skin in the game, not a sales rep who disappears after the contract’s signed.
We’ve built our reputation one project at a time in this community. From small business parking lots to residential driveways, we understand the local soil conditions, weather challenges, and what it takes to create asphalt surfaces that last through upstate New York’s demanding climate.
Our approach is straightforward: quality work, honest pricing, and communication you can count on. No gimmicks, no high-pressure sales tactics, just reliable service from people who live and work in your neighborhood.
First, we assess your site conditions and discuss your specific needs during a free consultation. You’ll get a detailed estimate that covers materials, timeline, and exactly what’s included—no surprise charges later.
Next, we handle all the preparation work. This means proper excavation, base material installation, and grading for drainage. Most paving problems start with poor preparation, so we don’t cut corners here.
Then we install your new asphalt using quality materials and proven techniques. Our crew coordinates the timing so everything flows smoothly. You’ll have clear communication throughout the process and direct access to the owner if questions come up.
Finally, we complete the finishing work including line striping if needed and a thorough cleanup. You get documentation of the work completed and our contact information for any follow-up needs.

Your parking lot paving project includes complete site preparation, quality asphalt installation, and proper finishing. We handle excavation, base material, grading for drainage, and the final asphalt surface using materials designed for local climate conditions.
Chestertown’s location in the Adirondack region means your parking lot faces freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and temperature swings that can destroy poorly installed pavement. We account for these conditions in our material selection and installation methods.
You’ll also get clear project scheduling that works around your business needs and seasonal considerations. Most commercial projects are planned for optimal weather windows, but we maintain emergency response capability for urgent repairs year-round.
Our service includes proper cleanup, line striping coordination if needed, and documentation of the work completed. You’ll have direct contact information for follow-up service and seasonal maintenance planning.
Most parking lot paving projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Small commercial lots often complete in 2-3 days, while larger projects may take a full week.
The timeline includes site preparation, base work, and asphalt installation. Weather conditions can affect scheduling, so we build some flexibility into project planning. You’ll get a realistic timeline during your estimate that accounts for your specific site conditions.
We coordinate the work to minimize disruption to your business operations. This often means scheduling around your peak hours or completing sections in phases so you maintain some parking availability throughout the process.
Asphalt repair works when you have isolated problem areas—a few cracks, small potholes, or surface wear in specific spots. Full replacement is needed when the base has failed or damage covers more than 30-40% of the surface.
Repair involves patching, crack sealing, and surface treatments. It’s cost-effective for newer pavement with minor issues. Replacement means removing the old surface, addressing base problems, and installing new asphalt throughout.
We’ll assess your specific situation during the estimate and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes a combination works best—replacing the worst sections and repairing areas that still have good structural integrity. The key is honest evaluation based on your long-term needs, not just the cheapest short-term fix.
Parking lot paving costs vary based on size, site conditions, and scope of work needed. Small commercial lots typically range from $8,000-$15,000, while larger projects can reach $25,000-$50,000 or more.
The price includes excavation, base preparation, asphalt installation, and basic finishing. Additional costs come from drainage work, extensive site preparation, or special requirements like heavy-duty surfaces for truck traffic.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and timeline. This lets you understand exactly what you’re paying for and compare options accurately. No hidden charges or surprise costs—just straightforward pricing based on the actual work required for your specific project.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for parking lot paving in Chestertown. We typically schedule most projects between May and October when temperatures stay consistently above 50°F.
Summer months offer the most scheduling flexibility, but spring and fall can work well too. The key is avoiding periods with frequent rain or temperature swings that affect asphalt curing.
We maintain emergency repair capability year-round for urgent situations. Winter projects focus on temporary fixes and preparation for spring installation. Planning ahead helps secure better scheduling and pricing—many property owners book their projects during winter months for spring completion.
Yes, we coordinate line striping and parking lot markings as part of complete parking lot projects. This includes standard parking spaces, handicap markings, fire lanes, and directional arrows.
Line striping typically happens 30-60 days after asphalt installation to allow proper curing. We work with experienced striping contractors who understand ADA compliance requirements and local codes.
The timing depends on your specific needs and local regulations. Some projects require immediate temporary markings for safety, followed by permanent striping later. We’ll discuss the best approach during your project planning and coordinate all the details so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors.
New parking lots need minimal maintenance for the first 2-3 years, then regular attention to maximize lifespan. The main requirement is keeping the surface clean and addressing small cracks before they become major problems.
Sealcoating typically starts 2-3 years after installation, then every 3-5 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. This protects the surface from UV damage, water infiltration, and chemical spills that can cause deterioration.
We provide maintenance guidelines specific to your installation and local conditions. This includes seasonal inspection recommendations, cleaning procedures, and timing for preventive treatments. Regular maintenance extends pavement life significantly and prevents costly emergency repairs down the road.
