Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway stops being a liability and starts protecting your property value. No more worrying about vehicle damage from potholes or safety hazards for your family and visitors.
You get smooth, durable asphalt that handles Lake George’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles. Your investment pays off with years of reliable access and curb appeal that actually enhances your home’s value.
The owner handles your project personally from estimate to completion. You know exactly what you’re getting, when it’ll be done, and what it costs upfront.
We’ve been the go-to paving contractor for Cleverdale residents since the late 1990s. We’re not some fly-by-night crew or national chain that doesn’t understand local conditions.
The owner lives and works right here in the community. When you call, you’re talking directly to the person who’ll be managing your project, not a salesperson who’s never held a paver.
We’ve paved driveways for three generations of some families. That doesn’t happen by accident—it happens because we show up, do quality work, and price things fairly without the typical contractor games.
First, we assess your current driveway and discuss exactly what needs to happen. You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline—no hidden costs or surprise charges later.
We handle the prep work properly because shortcuts always come back to bite you. That means proper excavation, base preparation, and grading so your new asphalt actually lasts through Cleverdale’s tough winters.
Once we start paving, we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. The owner stays involved throughout the process, so you always know what’s happening and when you can use your driveway again.
Ready to get started?
We handle everything from small residential driveways to large commercial parking lots. Driveway paving, parking lot installation, asphalt repairs, and emergency response when you need help fast.
During Cleverdale’s optimal paving season (April through October), we focus on new installations and major repairs. When winter hits, we shift to foundation work and land clearing, so we’re available year-round for whatever your property needs.
Our equipment and crew are sized right for this area. We’re not too big to care about your residential project, but we’re experienced enough to handle commercial work efficiently. Emergency repairs get priority response because we understand that some problems can’t wait until spring.
April through October gives you the best results for asphalt paving in our area. The ground needs to be consistently above 50 degrees for proper compaction and curing.
If you wait too late in the season, cold weather makes the asphalt cool too quickly during installation, leading to weak spots and premature failure. We’ve seen too many late-season jobs that looked fine initially but started cracking by the next spring.
Plan your project for late spring through early fall. If you’re thinking about paving, call us in March or April to get on the schedule for optimal weather conditions.
A properly installed asphalt driveway should last 15-20 years in New York’s climate with basic maintenance. The key word is “properly”—shortcuts during installation always show up later.
Our harsh freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but quality installation with proper base preparation makes all the difference. Cheap jobs that skip base work or use thin asphalt start failing within 5-7 years.
Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years and prompt crack repair extend the life significantly. We’ve seen well-maintained driveways we installed 20+ years ago still performing well.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent situations that can’t wait until spring. Things like major washouts, access problems, or safety hazards get immediate attention.
Winter repairs use different materials and techniques than full-season work. We use cold-patch asphalt and temporary solutions to get you through until proper repairs can be done in warmer weather.
The owner responds personally to emergency calls. We understand that some problems—especially access issues or safety hazards—need immediate solutions regardless of season.
We give you one written price that includes everything—no surprise charges, no change orders for “unforeseen conditions” that any experienced contractor should anticipate. You know the total cost before we start.
Many contractors lowball the initial estimate then hit you with extras once they’ve torn up your driveway. We price the job correctly from the start based on what actually needs to be done.
The owner handles all estimates personally and has been doing this for 25+ years. We know what proper preparation costs and include it upfront rather than treating it as an expensive surprise later.
Sometimes, but only if the existing base is solid and the current asphalt isn’t severely damaged. Overlay can save money, but it’s not appropriate for every situation.
If your current driveway has major cracks, settling, or base problems, overlay just puts new asphalt over old problems. You’ll see those issues come through the new surface within a year or two.
We evaluate each situation honestly. If overlay will work, we’ll tell you and save you money. If it won’t, we’ll explain why full replacement is the better long-term investment.
We’ve been dealing with this climate for 25+ years, so we understand how freeze-thaw cycles affect asphalt. Proper installation techniques and material choices make the difference between driveways that last and ones that fail quickly.
We adjust our approach based on local conditions—proper drainage is critical here, and we use asphalt mixes that handle temperature swings better. The base preparation is especially important in our area.
Timing matters too. We don’t rush jobs late in the season when temperatures are marginal. Better to wait until spring than install asphalt that won’t compact properly and starts failing immediately.
