Hear From Our Clients
You’re not just getting a new driveway or parking lot. You’re getting pavement that’s built to handle everything upstate New York throws at it.
When we finish your project, you’ll have a smooth, durable surface that stands up to freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and years of daily use. No more worrying about potholes forming after the first winter or cracks spreading across your investment.
The difference shows immediately. Your property looks professional, functions properly, and maintains its value. More importantly, you won’t be calling for emergency repairs every spring because the work was done right from the start.
We’ve been handling paving, asphalt, excavation, and foundation work in the Igerna area for over 25 years. We’re not a national chain or a crew that shows up from three towns over.
This is owner-operated work. You talk directly to the person making decisions, managing the job, and standing behind the results. No middlemen, no confusion, no wondering who’s actually responsible.
We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners or don’t understand local conditions. That’s exactly why we focus on straightforward communication, honest pricing, and quality work that lasts through harsh upstate winters.
First, we come out to assess your specific situation. Every property is different, and we need to understand drainage, soil conditions, and how you’ll be using the space. This isn’t a quick walk-around—we’re looking at the foundation of your project.
Next, we provide a clear, honest estimate. No hidden costs, no surprise charges later. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before we start any work.
When we begin the actual paving, you’ll see professional equipment and experienced crews who know how to handle upstate New York conditions. We prepare the base properly, use quality materials, and complete the work efficiently. Throughout the process, the owner stays involved to ensure everything meets our standards.

We handle both residential and commercial paving projects throughout the Igerna region. Whether you need a new driveway, parking lot resurfacing, or complete site development, we have the equipment and experience to handle it properly.
Our services include asphalt paving, excavation, foundation work, and seasonal projects like land clearing. This means you can work with one contractor for multiple phases of your project instead of coordinating between different companies.
In the Igerna area, property owners deal with challenging weather conditions that can destroy improperly installed pavement. We understand these local factors and build accordingly. Our work is designed to handle the freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads, and temperature swings that are common in upstate New York.
Driveway paving costs in the Igerna area typically range from $3 to $4 per square foot for standard asphalt work, but several factors affect the final price. The size of your driveway, current condition of the base, drainage requirements, and access for equipment all play a role.
We provide honest, upfront estimates that include all necessary work. This means proper base preparation, quality asphalt materials, and professional installation—not just the cheapest possible approach that’ll cause problems later.
The investment makes sense when you consider that properly installed asphalt can last 15-20 years with basic maintenance, while cheap work often needs major repairs within just a few years.
The ideal time for asphalt paving in upstate New York is late spring through early fall, when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. Asphalt needs warm weather for proper compaction and curing.
We typically recommend scheduling paving work between May and October. However, if you have urgent repairs needed, we can handle emergency situations even during colder months using specialized techniques and materials designed for lower temperatures.
Planning ahead is smart because the best contractors get booked up during peak season. If you’re thinking about paving work, it’s worth getting an estimate early so you can schedule when conditions are optimal for the longest-lasting results.
Commercial paving typically involves thicker asphalt layers, stronger base preparation, and materials designed to handle heavier traffic loads. A residential driveway might use 2-3 inches of asphalt, while a commercial parking lot often requires 4-6 inches or more.
The planning process is also more complex for commercial work. We need to consider traffic flow, ADA compliance, drainage systems, and often coordinate with other contractors working on the same project.
Both types of work require proper base preparation and quality materials, but commercial projects have stricter specifications and usually need to meet local municipal requirements. We handle both residential and commercial work, adjusting our approach based on the specific demands of each project.
Minor cracks, small potholes, or surface wear can often be repaired effectively. But if you’re seeing widespread cracking, major settling, or if the pavement is more than 20 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense.
The key is the condition of the base underneath the asphalt. If water has been getting through cracks and weakening the foundation, repairs become temporary fixes that don’t address the real problem.
We assess the entire situation—not just the surface damage—before recommending repair or replacement. Sometimes a small repair now prevents a major replacement later. Other times, trying to patch extensively damaged pavement just wastes money that should go toward a permanent solution.
Yes, we offer emergency response for urgent paving situations. This includes major pothole repairs that create safety hazards, drainage problems that threaten property, or damage that blocks access to your business or home.
Emergency work costs more than scheduled projects because it requires immediate response and often involves working in less-than-ideal conditions. However, sometimes waiting isn’t an option when safety or property access is at stake.
We prioritize true emergencies and can typically respond within 24-48 hours. For non-urgent repairs, we’ll schedule the work when weather and conditions allow for the best long-term results.
New asphalt should be sealcoated 6-12 months after installation, then every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. This protective coating helps prevent water penetration and extends the life of your pavement significantly.
Keep the surface clean of debris, oil stains, and standing water. Address small cracks promptly before they spread and allow water to reach the base layer. In winter, use sand instead of rock salt when possible, as salt can accelerate deterioration.
Avoid heavy loads on new asphalt for the first few weeks while it fully cures. The pavement will be driveable within 24-48 hours, but it takes time to reach full strength. Following these simple maintenance steps can double the life of your asphalt investment.
