Hear From Our Clients
A professionally paved parking lot eliminates the constant worry about customer safety and liability issues. No more potholes causing damage to vehicles or creating trip hazards for pedestrians walking to your business.
You get a smooth, properly drained surface that directs water away from your building and prevents the freeze-thaw damage that destroys cheaper installations. Your customers can park confidently, knowing they won’t hit a pothole or struggle with uneven pavement.
The right paving job means years of worry-free use instead of constant patch-ups and emergency repairs that cost more in the long run.
We’ve been handling paving, excavation, and foundation work in the Fenimore area for over 25 years. We’re owner-operated, which means you talk directly to the person responsible for your project—not a salesperson who disappears after you sign.
We’ve seen what works in our local climate and what doesn’t. From the heavy freeze-thaw cycles to summer heat, we know how to build parking lots that last in New York conditions.
Our reputation comes from word-of-mouth referrals from businesses who needed their parking lot done right the first time. When you need emergency repairs or seasonal maintenance, we’re available year-round with the same direct communication you get from day one.
First, we evaluate your site and discuss exactly what you need—no generic proposals or cookie-cutter solutions. We measure the area, check drainage requirements, and explain what’s involved before any work starts.
Site preparation comes next. We remove old pavement if needed, grade the area properly, and install the base layer that prevents future settling and cracking. This foundation work determines how long your parking lot lasts.
Then we install the asphalt in proper lifts, ensuring even thickness and smooth transitions. We handle drainage integration during this phase, not as an afterthought. Finally, we complete striping, ADA compliance markings, and any curbing needed to finish the job.
You’re involved at each step, with clear communication about timing and what to expect next.

Our parking lot paving includes everything needed for a complete installation: site preparation, proper base installation, asphalt paving, drainage integration, and final striping. We also handle ADA compliance requirements, ensuring your parking lot meets current accessibility standards.
For Fenimore businesses, we understand the local requirements and seasonal challenges. Winter freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on pavement, so we use proper base preparation and drainage to prevent the water infiltration that causes spring damage.
We also provide ongoing maintenance services including crack sealing, sealcoating, and line striping to extend your pavement’s life. Emergency repairs are available year-round because parking lot problems don’t wait for convenient timing.
Parking lot paving costs depend on the size of your lot, site conditions, and what additional work is needed. Most commercial projects in our area run between $3-6 per square foot, but that can vary significantly based on drainage requirements, base preparation needed, and ADA compliance features.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs—no surprises or hidden fees. The estimate includes site preparation, materials, labor, and finishing work like striping. We also explain what factors could affect the final cost before work begins.
The key is getting proper base preparation and drainage from the start. Cheaper installations that skip these steps end up costing more in repairs and premature replacement.
Most parking lot installations take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Smaller lots under 5,000 square feet often take 2-3 days, while larger commercial lots may need a week or more.
Weather affects timing since we can’t pave in rain or when temperatures are too cold. We schedule around weather forecasts and keep you updated on any delays. Site preparation usually takes the longest—proper base work can’t be rushed.
We coordinate the work to minimize disruption to your business. For businesses that need parking access, we can often phase the work to keep part of the lot available, though this may extend the timeline slightly.
An overlay adds new asphalt over existing pavement that’s still structurally sound. This works when the base is good but the surface is worn or has minor cracking. Overlays cost less and take less time than full reconstruction.
Complete reconstruction removes all old pavement and rebuilds from the ground up. This is necessary when the base has failed, there’s extensive cracking, or drainage problems exist. While more expensive initially, reconstruction lasts much longer.
We evaluate your existing pavement and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your situation and budget. Sometimes an overlay is fine for a few more years, other times reconstruction is the only way to avoid ongoing problems.
Yes, we handle all ADA compliance requirements including proper parking space dimensions, accessible routes, ramp slopes, and signage placement. ADA compliance isn’t optional—it’s required by law and affects your liability exposure.
We stay current with ADA requirements and local codes. This includes ensuring accessible parking spaces are properly sized, located near building entrances, and connected to accessible routes. We also install proper signage and pavement markings.
Getting ADA compliance right during initial construction is much easier and less expensive than retrofitting later. We include all required accessibility features in our estimates so there are no surprises.
New parking lots need crack sealing every 2-3 years and sealcoating every 3-5 years to protect against weather damage. Line striping typically needs refreshing every 2-3 years depending on traffic volume.
Regular maintenance extends pavement life significantly—often by 5-10 years compared to neglected surfaces. We provide maintenance schedules based on your specific lot conditions and traffic patterns.
Small cracks should be sealed quickly before they allow water infiltration. Once water gets into the base layer through cracks, you’re looking at much more expensive repairs. Preventive maintenance is always cheaper than emergency reconstruction.
Yes, we coordinate paving work to minimize disruption to your business operations. For many projects, we can phase the work to keep part of the parking lot accessible, though this may extend the timeline.
We discuss your business needs during planning and develop a work schedule that works for both of us. Some businesses prefer weekend work, others can handle weekday disruptions better. We’re flexible with timing when possible.
For businesses that absolutely can’t lose parking access, we can sometimes work in sections or arrange temporary parking solutions. The key is discussing these needs upfront so we can plan accordingly and avoid surprises.
