Hear From Our Clients
A well-built parking lot handles Halfmoon’s freeze-thaw cycles without buckling. It drains water before it seeps into the base and causes structural damage. It holds up under daily traffic for 15 to 20 years without constant emergency repairs.
When the work is done right from the start, you’re not patching potholes every spring or worrying about liability from uneven surfaces. You’re not losing customers because your property looks neglected.
You get years of reliable performance with minimal maintenance. A professional appearance that reflects well on your business. And when you do need work down the road, it’s planned maintenance—not an emergency that forces you to close half your lot on your busiest day.
We’ve been handling paving and excavation work in Halfmoon since before Route 146 became the commercial corridor it is today. We’ve paved parking lots for the retail centers, office complexes, and apartment buildings that came with this town’s growth.
We’re owner-operated. When you call, you talk to someone who actually knows your project—not a salesperson working off a script. The same person who walks your property and gives you the estimate stays involved through completion.
No gimmicks. No pressure. We assess what you actually need, give you an honest number, and do the work right. Emergency repairs get handled fast. Planned projects get the attention they deserve. Either way, you’re dealing with people who’ve been doing this work in Saratoga County for over two decades.
We start by evaluating what you have. New construction means checking drainage patterns, planning proper grading, and determining base requirements. Restoration work means assessing how deep the damage goes—surface wear or structural failure.
Once we understand the scope, we handle preparation. Proper grading comes first. A stable aggregate base for new construction. Milling off damaged asphalt for resurfacing. Drainage solutions get addressed here because standing water destroys even perfectly laid asphalt.
Then comes the paving. Hot-mix asphalt gets installed at the right thickness for your traffic load, compacted while hot, finished with clean edges. Line striping and ADA-compliant markings happen after the asphalt cures.
Timeline depends on your lot size and project scope, but we minimize business disruption. Most commercial parking lots are paved in a few days. You’re back to full operation within 24 to 48 hours after the asphalt goes down.

Parking lot paving includes everything from site preparation and grading to base installation, drainage solutions, asphalt paving, and finishing work like striping and accessible parking markings.
Drainage is critical in Halfmoon. Our freeze-thaw cycles destroy poorly designed lots within a few seasons. Water infiltration causes most parking lot failures, so proper slopes and drainage systems aren’t extras—they’re requirements for work that lasts.
For commercial properties along Route 146 or in the planned development districts near Route 9, parking lot design also addresses traffic flow, ADA compliance, and local regulations. We handle that planning upfront so you don’t face compliance problems later.
We also offer resurfacing for lots with solid bases but worn surfaces. Resurfacing gives you a fresh asphalt layer at a fraction of full replacement cost. For ongoing protection, sealcoating every few years shields your pavement from UV damage and water infiltration, extending your lot’s lifespan significantly.
A properly installed asphalt parking lot in Halfmoon should last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. That maintenance includes sealcoating every two to three years and fixing cracks before they expand into structural problems.
The critical phrase is “properly installed.” If the base wasn’t prepared correctly or drainage wasn’t addressed during construction, failures start showing up within five to ten years. The upfront work determines everything.
Halfmoon’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on asphalt. Water infiltrates cracks, freezes, expands, and breaks apart pavement. A well-designed lot with proper drainage and a solid base handles this. A cheap installation doesn’t.
Resurfacing means milling off the top damaged layer—typically 1.5 to 3 inches—and replacing it with fresh asphalt. The existing base remains. It works when your base is solid but the surface shows wear.
Full replacement means removing everything down to the subgrade, rebuilding the base, and installing new asphalt from scratch. You need this when the base has failed, drainage issues have compromised the structure, or damage is too extensive for resurfacing.
Resurfacing costs roughly $1 to $3 per square foot. Full replacement runs $2.50 to $7 per square foot or more depending on scope. We’ll tell you which one you actually need—not which one generates more revenue for us.
Not properly. Asphalt requires temperatures above 50°F to cure correctly. In Halfmoon, the paving season typically runs late spring through early fall.
Cold-patch asphalt works for emergency pothole repairs in winter, but it’s temporary. It won’t perform like hot-mix asphalt, and those repairs usually need to be redone properly once weather warms up.
If you’re planning a parking lot project, schedule it for spring or early summer. That gives you the full season for completion and lets asphalt cure under ideal conditions. We handle foundations and excavation during winter, so site prep can be done ahead of paving season if needed.
New parking lot construction in Halfmoon typically costs $2.50 to $7 per square foot, depending on lot size, required asphalt thickness, and site conditions like drainage and grading needs.
Resurfacing existing lots costs less—usually $1 to $3 per square foot—because the base stays in place. Repairs like pothole patching run $2 to $5 per square foot for hot-patch work. Crack sealing typically costs $1 to $3 per linear foot.
Actual cost depends on your starting point and what you need. A 10,000-square-foot lot might cost $25,000 to $70,000 for new construction or $10,000 to $30,000 for resurfacing. We provide clear estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Yes, if you want your parking lot to reach its full lifespan. Sealcoating protects asphalt from UV damage, water infiltration, and oil stains. It also fills minor cracks before they become major problems.
Sealcoat every two to three years depending on traffic volume and weather exposure. It costs about $0.15 to $0.30 per square foot—far cheaper than resurfacing or replacing your lot prematurely because maintenance was skipped.
Think of sealcoating like routine vehicle maintenance. You can skip it, but you’ll pay more later. Well-maintained parking lots with regular sealcoating can last 25 years or more. Neglected ones often need resurfacing within 10 years.
Light traffic can typically use the lot within 24 hours after paving. For full use including heavy vehicles, waiting 48 hours is safer. Asphalt needs time to cool and cure properly.
If sealcoating or line striping is included, add another day or two for drying. Weather affects cure times—hot, dry conditions accelerate curing while cool or humid weather slows it down.
We schedule work to minimize business disruption. If certain areas need earlier access, we can phase the project so you’re never completely without parking. It just requires more planning on the front end.
