Hear From Our Clients
You get driveways and parking lots that handle Adirondack winters without cracking apart by spring. No more dealing with contractors who disappear after the job or leave you with work that fails in two years.
When you choose us, you’re working directly with the owner who’s been handling these exact challenges for over 25 years. You get honest assessments, realistic timelines, and paving that’s built to last through our harsh freeze-thaw cycles.
Your project gets the attention it deserves because we’re not trying to squeeze in 20 jobs at once. We focus on doing fewer projects right rather than rushing through as many as possible.
We’ve been handling asphalt paving, excavation, and foundation work in the Adirondack region for over 25 years. We’re not a crew that shows up from three counties away—we live and work here, and we understand what it takes to build surfaces that survive our winters.
You work directly with the owner on every project. No sales reps, no middlemen, no confusion about who’s actually responsible for your job. When you call, you get straight answers from someone who’s seen every type of paving challenge this area can throw at you.
We’ve built our reputation on doing what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it, for the price we quoted. That’s why most of our work comes from referrals and repeat clients who know they can count on us.
First, we come out and look at your property ourselves. Not a sales guy with a clipboard—the owner who’ll actually be running your job. We assess the existing conditions, drainage issues, and what type of base work you’ll need.
You get a detailed estimate that covers everything: materials, labor, timeline, and any potential complications we can see coming. We explain what we’re doing and why, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
During the work, the owner stays on-site to make sure everything goes according to plan. We handle the prep work properly—grading, drainage, base installation—because cutting corners here means problems later. The asphalt goes down when conditions are right, not when it’s convenient for our schedule.
After completion, we walk through the finished work with you and explain how to maintain it properly. You get our direct contact information for any questions or concerns down the road.

We handle residential and commercial asphalt paving, from driveways and parking lots to private roads and commercial developments. Our excavation services include site preparation, grading, and drainage solutions that prevent the water problems that destroy asphalt in our climate.
Foundation work is a big part of what we do, especially during winter months when paving isn’t practical. We also handle land clearing and site preparation for new construction projects throughout the Adirondack region.
What sets us apart is our year-round availability and emergency response capability. When a storm damages your driveway or a water main break tears up your parking lot, we can respond quickly to get you back to normal. We understand that in this area, you can’t always wait for perfect weather to fix critical infrastructure problems.
The ideal paving season in the Adirondack region runs from late April through October, when ground temperatures stay consistently above 40 degrees and air temperatures are above 50 degrees. These conditions allow the asphalt to compact properly and cure correctly.
We can sometimes work into November if we have a warm spell, but we won’t compromise quality by rushing a job in poor conditions. Winter paving is generally not recommended because cold temperatures prevent proper compaction, leading to premature failure.
During winter months, we focus on foundation work, land clearing, and emergency repairs using specialized cold-weather techniques when absolutely necessary.
Properly installed asphalt in the Adirondack region typically lasts 15-25 years with appropriate maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate drainage, and regular sealcoating every 3-5 years.
Our freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on pavement, which is why we pay extra attention to drainage and base work. Water infiltration is the biggest enemy of asphalt longevity in our climate—when water gets under the pavement and freezes, it creates the cracks and potholes you see every spring.
We design and install asphalt systems specifically for our local conditions, using proper thickness and materials that can handle temperature fluctuations from -20°F in winter to 90°F+ in summer.
Our estimates include everything needed for a complete, long-lasting installation: site preparation, excavation if needed, proper base material installation, grading for drainage, and the asphalt application itself. We also include cleanup and restoration of any disturbed areas.
We break down costs clearly so you understand what you’re paying for. If we encounter unexpected conditions during excavation—like ledge rock or poor soil—we discuss options and pricing before proceeding. No surprise charges after the work is done.
The estimate also includes our timeline, weather contingencies, and maintenance recommendations. We want you to know exactly what to expect from start to finish, including how to care for your new asphalt to maximize its lifespan.
Yes, we provide emergency response for critical asphalt repairs throughout the Adirondack region. This includes situations like storm damage, water main breaks that damage pavement, or safety hazards that need immediate attention.
Emergency repairs often require different techniques and materials than standard paving, especially in cold weather. We have the equipment and experience to make temporary repairs that will hold until proper restoration can be completed during ideal weather conditions.
We understand that some situations can’t wait for spring—like a damaged parking lot that prevents customers from reaching your business, or a driveway that’s become impassable. When you need emergency service, you get the owner’s direct response, not a call center.
Proper drainage is critical for asphalt longevity in our climate, so we evaluate and address drainage during every project. This includes analyzing existing water flow patterns, identifying problem areas, and designing solutions that direct water away from the pavement.
We install proper crown and slope to shed water quickly, add catch basins or drainage systems where needed, and ensure that runoff doesn’t create problems for neighboring properties. Poor drainage is the fastest way to destroy asphalt in the Adirondack region.
If your existing pavement has drainage problems, we can often retrofit solutions during resurfacing or repair work. Sometimes this means adding drainage structures, sometimes it means adjusting grades or creating swales to redirect water flow.
New asphalt should be sealcoated 6-12 months after installation, then every 3-5 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. Sealcoating protects against water infiltration, UV damage, and chemical spills that can break down the asphalt binder.
Crack sealing is essential—small cracks should be filled promptly before water can penetrate and cause freeze-thaw damage. We recommend annual inspections in spring to identify and address any winter damage before it becomes a major problem.
Keep the surface clean of debris and standing water. Avoid heavy loads during the first year while the asphalt continues to cure, and be careful with snow plowing to avoid gouging the surface. Proper maintenance can double the life of your asphalt in our harsh climate.
