Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of driveways that crack and buckle after one harsh winter. Every spring brings expensive repair bills and the frustration of dealing with contractors who don’t understand local conditions.
Proper asphalt installation changes that. When base preparation is done right, when the right thickness is installed, and when professional compaction creates the proper density, your driveway handles whatever upstate New York delivers. No emergency repairs. No surprise costs.
You get smooth asphalt that looks professional and performs reliably for decades. That’s what 25 years of local experience delivers.
We’ve been serving property owners throughout the Brant Lake area for over 25 years. We’re not a franchise sending different crews to every job. You work directly with the owner from initial contact through project completion.
This hands-on approach means consistent quality and straightforward communication. No middlemen. No confusion about who’s responsible for what. When you call, you talk to someone who knows your project and can make decisions immediately.
We’ve seen how Brant Lake’s elevation and proximity to the Adirondacks affects asphalt performance. That local knowledge goes into every installation we complete.
We start with an on-site evaluation and provide a detailed written estimate. Every cost is spelled out clearly. No hidden charges for excavation, materials, or cleanup. You know the total investment before any work begins.
Preparation comes next. We excavate to proper depth, install quality base material, and grade everything for drainage. This foundation work determines how long your asphalt lasts. Shortcuts here create problems later.
Installation uses hot asphalt and professional compaction equipment. We don’t rush this step. Proper density and smooth finishing create surfaces that handle daily traffic and seasonal temperature swings without premature failure.

We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and municipal projects throughout the Brant Lake region. Services include new installations, repairs, resurfacing, and ongoing maintenance programs.
Local conditions require specific approaches. The area’s harsh winters and significant elevation changes mean deeper excavation, thicker base layers, and installation techniques that account for frost penetration. We adjust our methods based on 25+ years of local experience.
Emergency response is available when urgent repairs are needed. Spring pothole damage, winter storm issues, or unexpected surface failures get prompt attention. We keep local properties accessible and safe regardless of season.
Properly installed asphalt typically lasts 20-25 years in our climate with appropriate maintenance. The key is installation that accounts for freeze-thaw cycles and temperature extremes that reach -5°F in winter.
Our process includes deeper excavation and thicker base preparation than standard installations. This prevents frost heaving and premature cracking during harsh winters. We also use asphalt specifications designed for northern climates.
Regular maintenance like crack sealing and periodic sealcoating extends life even further. We provide these services to protect your investment and maximize performance over decades, not just years.
Late spring through early fall provides optimal installation conditions. We typically schedule major paving from May through October when temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees for proper asphalt curing.
Cold weather installations compromise quality. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to achieve proper compaction and long-term performance. We don’t cut corners on installation timing just to extend our season.
Emergency repairs happen year-round when necessary, but planned projects get scheduled during ideal weather windows. This ensures maximum durability and performance from your investment.
Residential driveways in the Brant Lake area typically cost $8-12 per square foot for complete installation. Final pricing depends on site conditions, access requirements, and necessary base preparation work.
Our estimates include all costs upfront. Excavation, base materials, asphalt, compaction, and cleanup are detailed separately. No surprise charges or hidden fees after work begins.
Factors affecting price include existing surface removal, drainage improvements, and site accessibility. Each project gets individual evaluation to provide accurate pricing based on actual requirements, not generic estimates.
Yes, we manage commercial parking lots, access roads, and municipal projects. Our equipment and experience handle everything from small business lots to larger institutional installations.
Commercial work requires different specifications than residential projects. Heavy traffic loads, drainage requirements, and compliance standards all influence design and installation approaches.
We coordinate with business schedules and local requirements to minimize operational disruption. Quality work gets completed efficiently without interfering with daily business activities or public access needs.
We provide one-year warranty coverage on workmanship for new installations. This covers issues related to improper installation, base failure, or premature surface problems not caused by normal use.
Coverage excludes damage from excessive vehicle loads, fluid spills, or lack of maintenance. Normal settling and surface wear are expected and not warranty issues.
We stand behind our installation quality and address legitimate problems promptly. Our goal is delivering results that perform well beyond the warranty period through proper materials and installation techniques.
Often, yes. We evaluate existing surfaces to determine if repairs, patching, or resurfacing can cost-effectively extend usable life. Complete replacement isn’t always necessary.
Common repair options include crack sealing, pothole patching, and edge restoration. Surfaces with good structural integrity but surface wear can receive asphalt overlays to restore function and appearance.
We provide honest assessments of repair versus replacement options. If existing asphalt has solid foundation, we recommend the most cost-effective solution rather than automatically pushing complete replacement projects.
