Hear From Our Clients
You’re not just getting a paved surface—you’re getting decades of protection against Knowelhurst’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal punishment. When the job’s done right the first time, you stop worrying about cracks, potholes, and emergency repairs that drain your budget.
Your driveway becomes an asset that actually adds value instead of costing you money every few years. No more standing water, no more crumbling edges, no more embarrassing first impressions for visitors or customers.
The difference is in the details—proper drainage, quality materials that handle New York weather, and installation timed perfectly with our climate. You get a surface that looks professional and performs even better.
We’ve been handling paving, asphalt, excavation, and foundation work in Knowelhurst and the surrounding region for over 25 years. You deal directly with the owner—no sales reps, no project managers who disappear, no phone tag with people who don’t make decisions.
When you call, you’re talking to someone who’s been doing this work since before GPS existed and knows every road, every weather pattern, and every local challenge that affects your project. The same person who quotes your job is the same person who shows up to do it.
That’s how you get straight answers about timing, realistic pricing, and work that’s built to last through everything Knowelhurst weather throws at it.
First, we come out and actually look at what you’re dealing with. Drainage issues, base problems, timing concerns—everything gets addressed upfront so there are no surprises later.
You get a clear breakdown of what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, and exactly what it’s going to cost. No hidden fees, no change orders for things we should have caught the first time.
The work gets done when weather conditions are right—not when it’s convenient for us. That means your asphalt cures properly, compacts correctly, and gives you the longevity you’re paying for. We clean up completely and make sure you’re satisfied before considering the job finished.
Ready to get started?
Your paving project isn’t just about laying asphalt—it’s about creating a surface that can handle everything from summer heat waves to winter freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poorly installed pavement.
We use materials and techniques specifically chosen for New York’s climate challenges. Proper base preparation prevents the shifting and settling that create those expensive problems down the road. Strategic drainage keeps water from pooling and freezing where it can do damage.
The timing matters too. We don’t rush jobs in cold weather because we know what happens to asphalt that doesn’t cure properly. When winter hits, we shift to foundation work and land clearing so you get year-round availability without compromising quality.
Spring through early fall gives you the best results, but the specific timing depends on your project and the weather patterns that year. Asphalt needs ambient temperatures above 50°F to cure properly, and New York’s freeze-thaw cycles can destroy work that’s rushed in cold weather.
We don’t just look at the calendar—we watch weather forecasts and ground conditions to time your project when everything works in your favor. Sometimes that means waiting a few weeks for better conditions, but it’s the difference between pavement that lasts 20 years versus pavement that starts failing in 3-5 years.
Emergency repairs are different—we handle those year-round because leaving damaged pavement exposed to winter weather usually makes the problem much worse and more expensive.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days for the actual paving work, but the timeline depends on what prep work is needed and how much time we need for proper curing. If we’re dealing with drainage issues or base problems, that adds time upfront but prevents bigger headaches later.
The curing process is just as important as the installation. You can walk on new asphalt within 24 hours, but we recommend waiting 3-5 days before driving on it, especially with heavy vehicles. Rushing this process leads to ruts, cracks, and premature failure.
Weather affects everything. Rain delays work, and cold temperatures slow curing. We’d rather reschedule than deliver subpar results that you’ll regret in a few years.
Pricing depends on the size of your project, site conditions, and what prep work is needed, but we give you transparent, upfront costs with no hidden surprises. A typical residential driveway might range from $3-7 per square foot, while commercial projects vary based on traffic requirements and site complexity.
The cheapest bid isn’t always the best value. Proper base preparation, quality materials, and correct installation techniques cost more upfront but save thousands in repairs and replacement costs over the life of your pavement.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for—materials, labor, prep work, cleanup—so you understand where your money goes and can make an informed decision about your investment.
Surface cracks, potholes, and drainage problems are obvious signs, but the real question is whether the base structure is still sound. If water is getting underneath and causing heaving or settling, repairs are usually just temporary fixes that waste your money.
We look at the overall condition, age of the existing pavement, and what’s causing the problems. Sometimes sealcoating and crack repair can extend the life significantly. Other times, you’re better off replacing everything and getting a fresh start.
The key is honest assessment. We’re not interested in selling you work you don’t need, but we also won’t recommend cheap fixes for problems that require proper solutions. You get a straight answer about what makes the most sense for your situation and budget.
Yes, we provide emergency response year-round because some problems can’t wait for spring. Potholes that expose your property to liability issues, drainage failures that threaten foundations, or damage that’s getting worse with every freeze-thaw cycle need immediate attention.
Winter repairs use different techniques and materials than warm-weather work, and they’re typically more expensive because of the challenging conditions. But leaving dangerous or rapidly deteriorating pavement unaddressed usually costs much more in the long run.
We’re honest about what can and can’t be done in cold weather. Sometimes the best solution is temporary stabilization to get you through winter, followed by permanent repairs when conditions improve. You get the emergency response you need without compromising the quality of the final result.
Yes, we provide detailed estimates at no cost because you need accurate information to make good decisions about your property investment. We come out, assess your specific situation, and give you a clear breakdown of what’s involved and what it will cost.
Our estimates include everything—prep work, materials, labor, cleanup—so you’re not surprised by additional costs later. We also explain why certain work is necessary and what happens if you skip steps to save money upfront.
The estimate process usually takes 30-45 minutes because we’re actually evaluating your project, not just measuring square footage. You get recommendations tailored to your specific needs, timeline, and budget constraints.
