Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway takes a beating from upstate New York winters. Cheap installations crack within two years, leaving you with water damage, safety hazards, and expensive repairs.
We install asphalt using base preparation and materials specifically chosen for this region’s harsh conditions. Proper drainage prevents ice damage. Quality materials resist temperature swings that destroy inferior work.
The result? A smooth, durable surface that handles heavy snow loads and spring thaws without developing the cracks and potholes that plague poorly installed driveways.
We’ve served Quaker Springs and surrounding Saratoga County since the late 1990s. We’re not a franchise or traveling crew—we live and work in this community.
You deal directly with the owner from estimate through completion. No sales reps, no subcontractors, no communication breakdowns. We understand local soil conditions, building requirements, and the specific challenges of paving in this historic area.
Our reputation comes from neighbors who’ve watched our work hold up through decades of harsh winters. When you need reliable paving, you want contractors who’ll still be here to stand behind their work.
We start with a thorough site evaluation and detailed written estimate. You’ll know exactly what work is needed, why it’s necessary, and what it costs before we start.
Proper preparation comes first—excavation, base installation, and drainage work that prevent future problems. Then we install your asphalt using commercial-grade equipment and techniques proven effective in this climate.
You get regular progress updates and direct access to the owner throughout the project. We coordinate with local requirements, protect your property, and leave the site clean. No surprises, no excuses, just professional results on schedule.

We handle everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots, plus excavation and foundation work. One contractor, complete accountability from site preparation through final paving.
Quaker Springs properties often present unique challenges—historic districts with specific requirements, challenging topography, or seasonal access issues. We’re familiar with local conditions and adapt our approach accordingly.
Year-round availability means optimal scheduling for your needs. Paving projects happen during suitable weather, while excavation and foundation work continue through winter months. Emergency repairs get handled when you need them, not when it’s convenient.
Properly installed asphalt in our region lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance, often longer with good care. The key is installation quality—cheap work fails within 3-5 years due to our harsh freeze-thaw cycles.
We use base materials and installation techniques specifically designed for upstate New York conditions. Adequate base depth prevents frost heaving. Quality asphalt mix resists temperature-related cracking. Proper drainage prevents ice damage that destroys inferior installations.
Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair can extend life to 25+ years. The investment in quality installation pays for itself by avoiding premature replacement and constant repairs.
Commercial paving requires heavier construction to handle increased traffic loads and weight. Parking lots need 3-4 inches of asphalt over deeper stone bases, compared to 2-3 inches for most driveways.
Commercial projects also include specialized features like proper drainage systems, line striping, ADA compliance, and sometimes specialized surfaces for heavy equipment. Installation scheduling must minimize business disruption while maintaining quality standards.
We apply the same quality standards to both residential and commercial work. Whether it’s a single driveway or a retail center parking lot, proper base preparation and professional installation are essential for long-term performance.
Asphalt installation requires air and ground temperatures above 50°F, making winter paving impossible in our climate. Cold weather prevents proper compaction and bonding, leading to premature failure.
However, we use winter months for excavation, site preparation, and project planning. Emergency repairs can sometimes use temporary cold-patch materials, but permanent solutions wait for suitable weather conditions.
Planning during winter often means better spring scheduling and pricing. We provide detailed estimates and timelines so you know exactly when work will begin once temperatures allow proper installation.
Complete driveway installations in our area typically range from $4,000 to $10,000, depending on size, site conditions, and preparation requirements. Simple overlay projects cost less, but full reconstruction provides much better long-term value.
Cost factors include existing surface removal, drainage needs, base depth requirements, and site access challenges. Steep grades or difficult access increase complexity and cost. We provide detailed written estimates explaining each component.
Our pricing includes all materials, labor, equipment, and cleanup with no hidden charges. We also offer maintenance services like sealcoating and crack repair to protect your investment over time.
Yes, we provide complete excavation and site preparation services. Proper base preparation is crucial for lasting pavement, especially given our region’s challenging soil conditions and frost penetration depths.
Our excavation capabilities include site clearing, precise grading, drainage system installation, and proper stone base preparation. We also handle foundation work, utility trenching, and septic systems when needed for comprehensive site development.
Single-contractor responsibility means better coordination and accountability. You get seamless service from initial excavation through final paving, with one point of contact and clear responsibility for the entire project.
Regular maintenance dramatically extends asphalt life in our harsh climate. Sealcoating every 3-5 years protects against water infiltration and freeze damage. Prompt crack sealing prevents small issues from becoming expensive problems.
Annual spring inspections help identify winter damage early when repairs are still manageable. Keep surfaces clean of debris and address drainage problems promptly to prevent water from undermining the base.
We provide complete maintenance services including sealcoating, crack sealing, and structural repairs. Consistent maintenance costs a fraction of premature replacement and keeps your pavement looking and performing like new for decades.
