Hear From Our Clients
You get a driveway or parking lot that handles Burnt Hills winters without cracking, buckling, or turning into a pothole minefield by spring. The base gets prepared correctly the first time, so water drains properly instead of pooling and freezing underneath your asphalt.
Your investment stays protected because the work gets done right when temperatures allow for proper compaction. No rushing through jobs when it’s too cold, no shortcuts that cost you thousands in repairs later.
You deal directly with the owner from your first call to final cleanup. That means real answers to your questions, honest timelines, and someone who actually cares whether you’re satisfied with the results.
We’ve been handling asphalt paving, excavation, and foundation work in Burnt Hills and the surrounding region since the late 1990s. We’re owner-operated, which means you’re not dealing with salespeople or project managers who’ve never actually laid asphalt.
The same person who gives you the estimate is the one who oversees your job. We’ve built our reputation on competitive pricing and emergency response capability because property owners in Burnt Hills need contractors they can count on when things go wrong.
Our approach is straightforward: quality work, honest pricing, and direct communication. No gimmicks, no overselling, no disappearing after we cash your check.
First, we evaluate your existing surface and drainage situation. Most asphalt problems start with water getting where it shouldn’t, so we identify and address those issues before laying new material.
Next comes proper base preparation. We excavate to the right depth, install and compact crushed stone in lifts, and ensure everything grades correctly for drainage. This foundation work determines whether your asphalt lasts five years or twenty.
Then we pave when conditions are right. Asphalt needs to be laid and compacted at specific temperatures to bond properly. We don’t rush jobs when it’s too cold because that leads to premature failure and expensive repairs you shouldn’t have to deal with.

Your project includes proper excavation, base preparation, and asphalt installation using hot mix materials that can handle Burnt Hills weather patterns. We also handle the drainage work that prevents water from undermining your pavement over time.
During winter months when asphalt plants close, we shift to foundation work and land clearing. This year-round capability means you’re working with an established business, not someone who disappears when paving season ends.
In Burnt Hills, where many homes date back to the 1940s and 1950s, we often encounter unique drainage challenges and property layouts. Our experience with older properties helps us anticipate and solve problems before they become expensive headaches for you.
Asphalt paving works best when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F, typically from late spring through early fall in Burnt Hills. Cold weather makes asphalt difficult to compact properly, leading to premature cracking and failure.
We recommend scheduling paving projects by early October to avoid the temperature drops that can compromise quality. If you need emergency repairs during colder months, we use specialized techniques and materials designed for lower temperatures.
The key is proper timing and using the right approach for conditions. Rushing a paving job in cold weather usually costs more in repairs than waiting for appropriate temperatures.
Most residential driveways in Burnt Hills take one to two days depending on size and site conditions. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation, while day two covers asphalt installation and finishing work.
Larger or more complex projects may require additional time, especially if we encounter drainage issues or need to coordinate with utility companies. We provide realistic timelines during our initial site evaluation.
Weather can affect scheduling, but we communicate any delays immediately. You’ll know exactly what to expect and when, so you can plan accordingly without surprises.
Most asphalt cracking in Burnt Hills results from water infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles during winter months. Poor base preparation and inadequate drainage are usually the root causes, not the asphalt itself.
Proper installation prevents most cracking issues. This means excavating to the correct depth, installing a well-compacted stone base, and ensuring water drains away from the pavement rather than pooling underneath.
Regular maintenance like crack sealing and periodic sealcoating extends asphalt life significantly. Small cracks sealed promptly don’t become major problems that require expensive repairs or replacement.
Asphalt paving costs vary based on project size, site conditions, and the amount of preparation work required. Most residential driveways in Burnt Hills range from several thousand to mid-range thousands depending on these factors.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material, labor, and preparation costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges after work begins.
The investment in proper asphalt paving typically pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs and increased property value. Quality installation costs less over time than repeated repairs to substandard work.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent asphalt repairs that can’t wait for regular scheduling. This includes situations like water main breaks that damage driveways or sudden pavement failures that create safety hazards.
Emergency work requires different techniques and materials, especially during colder months when standard hot mix asphalt isn’t available. We keep cold patch materials and specialized equipment ready for these situations.
Our emergency response capability comes from being an established, year-round operation rather than a seasonal contractor. When you need immediate help, we’re available to provide it.
Our complete asphalt paving service includes site evaluation, excavation to proper depth, installation of compacted stone base, and application of hot mix asphalt using professional-grade equipment. We also handle necessary drainage work and final grading.
Cleanup is included in every job. We remove old materials, dispose of debris properly, and leave your property clean and ready to use. No additional charges for hauling away excavated materials or construction waste.
You also get direct communication with the owner throughout the project, honest answers to your questions, and follow-up to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the results. This comprehensive approach is why our clients recommend us to their neighbors.
