Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of calling contractors who don’t show up, give you runaround estimates, or disappear after taking your money. You need asphalt paving that can handle Birchton’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles without cracking apart in two years.
That’s exactly what you get with Morgan Construction. Your new asphalt driveway or parking lot gets installed with proper drainage, quality materials, and the kind of attention to detail that comes from 25+ years of doing this work.
No more dealing with potholes that damage your customers’ cars. No more embarrassing cracks that make your property look neglected. Just smooth, durable pavement that handles heavy traffic and harsh weather without falling apart.
We’ve been serving Birchton and the surrounding region for over 25 years. We’re not a franchise or some crew that shows up from three towns over.
The owner is on every job site. You get direct access to the person making decisions, not some project manager who has to “check with the boss” every time you have a question.
We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will, doing the work we promised, and charging exactly what we quoted. That’s why property owners keep calling us back for new projects and referring us to their neighbors.
First, we come out and assess your current situation. No high-pressure sales pitch – just a straightforward evaluation of what needs to be done and why.
Next, we prepare the base properly. This means excavating to the right depth, installing proper drainage, and using quality stone that won’t shift or settle. Most contractors cut corners here because you can’t see it later. We don’t.
Then we install your asphalt in the right conditions. Temperature matters. Timing matters. We don’t rush the job because we have another appointment across town.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished work with you. You’ll know exactly how to maintain your new pavement and when to call us for routine maintenance.
Ready to get started?
Your asphalt project includes proper excavation, quality stone base, and hot-mix asphalt designed for New York’s climate. We handle everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots.
Birchton’s weather is particularly tough on pavement. Summer heat can soften asphalt, while winter freeze-thaw cycles create cracks that turn into potholes. That’s why we use materials and techniques specifically chosen for this climate.
You also get emergency response capability. When a water main breaks and damages your parking lot, or winter storms create urgent safety issues, we respond quickly. Property emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Every project includes direct owner oversight, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and the kind of straightforward communication that lets you plan your schedule and budget with confidence.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, weather permitting. Commercial parking lots typically require 3-5 days depending on size and complexity.
The key factor is temperature. We won’t install asphalt when it’s too cold because it won’t compact properly, leading to premature failure. We also avoid extremely hot days when the asphalt becomes difficult to work with.
Spring and fall are ideal for paving in Birchton. Summer works well for most projects, but we schedule early morning starts to avoid peak heat. Winter paving is possible but requires special techniques and materials, which we’re equipped to handle for emergency situations.
Resurfacing means adding a new layer of asphalt over your existing pavement. It works when your base is still solid but the surface is worn, cracked, or rough.
Complete replacement involves removing the old asphalt, rebuilding the stone base if needed, and installing entirely new pavement. This is necessary when you have major structural problems like base failure or severe drainage issues.
We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes spending a bit more on complete replacement saves you money long-term by avoiding repeated repairs. Other times, resurfacing gives you many more years of service at a fraction of the cost.
Proper drainage is critical in Birchton because standing water accelerates freeze-thaw damage. We evaluate drainage during our initial site assessment and address problems before they affect your new pavement.
This might involve adjusting the grade to direct water away from buildings, installing drainage systems, or creating proper crown and slope in the asphalt surface. We also ensure your new pavement connects properly with existing drainage features.
Poor drainage is one of the main reasons asphalt fails prematurely. Water that can’t escape finds its way into cracks, freezes, expands, and creates bigger problems. Getting drainage right from the start prevents expensive repairs later.
New asphalt should be sealcoated 6-12 months after installation, then every 3-5 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. Sealcoating protects against UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills.
You should also address small cracks promptly before they become big problems. In Birchton’s climate, even hairline cracks can become major issues after a few freeze-thaw cycles.
Keep your asphalt clean and avoid using harsh deicing chemicals. Rock salt is generally safe, but some ice melts can damage asphalt over time. We’ll give you specific maintenance recommendations based on your particular installation and usage patterns.
Yes, we respond to emergency situations that create safety hazards or prevent normal business operations. This includes water main breaks that damage parking lots, storm damage, or situations where delayed repairs would cause much more expensive problems.
Emergency repairs typically focus on making the area safe and functional quickly, with permanent repairs scheduled when conditions are better. We keep materials and equipment ready for urgent situations.
We also provide emergency snow removal and ice management services to keep your asphalt surfaces safe during winter storms. Property emergencies don’t wait for convenient timing, and we understand that downtime costs you money.
Residential driveways typically range from $3-6 per square foot depending on thickness, base preparation needed, and site conditions. Commercial projects vary widely based on size, traffic requirements, and complexity.
The total cost depends on factors like excavation requirements, drainage needs, access challenges, and current market prices for materials. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
We don’t play pricing games or surprise you with hidden fees. Our estimates include everything needed to complete your project properly. Emergency repairs are priced differently due to urgency and timing, but we’ll always discuss costs upfront before starting work.
