Hear From Our Clients
You’re not just getting a surface—you’re getting peace of mind. When we finish your asphalt project, you get a driveway or parking lot that handles Coveville’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking apart in two years.
Your investment stays protected because we use proper installation techniques and quality materials that actually work in New York weather. No more worrying about water damage, potholes, or emergency repairs that cost twice what you paid originally.
The result? A smooth, durable surface that adds real value to your property and keeps your family, customers, or tenants safe year-round.
We’ve been serving Coveville and the surrounding region since day one—not as a franchise or corporate chain, but as a local, owner-operated business with real skin in the game.
When you call, you talk directly to the owner. When work starts, the owner is on-site managing quality control. This isn’t about volume or quick turnarounds—it’s about doing the job right the first time so you don’t need us back in two years for repairs.
We’ve built our reputation in this community one project at a time, focusing on honest pricing, reliable service, and results that last. That’s how you stay in business for over two decades in a place where word travels fast.
First, we come out for a real assessment—not a quick glance from the driveway. We check drainage, measure the area, and explain exactly what needs to be done and why. No surprises, no upselling.
Next, we handle all the prep work that other contractors skip. Proper excavation, base preparation, and grading that actually prevent future problems. This is where most asphalt failures start, so we don’t cut corners here.
Finally, we install your asphalt using the right equipment and techniques for Coveville’s climate. We compact properly, ensure correct thickness, and finish with attention to drainage and long-term durability. You get clear instructions on curing time and maintenance, plus direct access to us if questions come up later.

Your asphalt project includes everything needed for a job that lasts. We handle excavation and grading to ensure proper drainage—crucial in Coveville where spring snowmelt and summer storms can destroy poorly prepared surfaces.
You get quality hot-mix asphalt installed to the right thickness for your specific use, whether that’s residential driveways handling daily family traffic or commercial parking lots supporting delivery trucks. We use commercial-grade equipment, not the residential-style rigs that leave uneven surfaces.
Every project includes proper compaction, edge work, and final grading. We also provide clear guidance on curing time and maintenance schedules specific to our local climate. Most importantly, you get direct access to the owner throughout the entire process—no project managers or middlemen who weren’t there when decisions got made.
Your new asphalt will be ready for light traffic within 24-48 hours, but full curing takes about 6-12 months depending on weather conditions. In Coveville, we typically recommend avoiding heavy vehicles for the first week, especially during hot summer days when asphalt stays softer longer.
During the first few days, you might notice some scuff marks from turning wheels—this is completely normal and will disappear as the surface hardens. We provide specific guidelines based on the season and your particular project, since spring installations cure differently than fall work.
The key is patience during those first few weeks. Proper curing is what separates asphalt that lasts 20+ years from surfaces that start failing in just a few seasons.
Commercial asphalt paving requires thicker base preparation and different mix designs to handle heavier loads and constant traffic. While residential driveways typically need 2-3 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared base, commercial parking lots often require 3-4 inches or more.
The installation process is also more complex for commercial work. We use larger equipment, pay closer attention to drainage patterns across bigger areas, and often coordinate with other contractors for striping, lighting, and accessibility features.
Timing matters more with commercial projects too. We work around your business hours and can often complete sections at a time to minimize disruption to your operations, something that’s rarely necessary for residential work.
Drainage problems are the number one cause of premature asphalt failure in our area, so we address them before any paving begins. We start by identifying where water naturally wants to go, then grade and slope your surface to work with that flow instead of fighting it.
For existing drainage issues, we often need to install proper base materials that allow water to move through rather than pooling underneath your asphalt. This might include adding crushed stone, adjusting grades, or even installing drainage systems in problem areas.
The goal is making sure water moves away from your asphalt quickly and completely. When water sits on the surface or seeps underneath, you get the freeze-thaw damage that creates cracks, potholes, and expensive repairs down the road.
The ideal window for asphalt paving in Coveville runs from late April through October, when temperatures stay consistently above 50°F and we have fewer rainy days. We need warm, dry conditions for proper installation and curing.
Summer offers the best conditions, but we can work effectively through fall as long as the weather forecast shows several clear days. We avoid winter paving entirely—cold weather prevents proper compaction and curing, leading to premature failure.
That said, we handle emergency repairs year-round when safety is a concern. We also use winter months for excavation and foundation work, so we can often prep your project during slower months and complete the paving as soon as conditions improve.
Asphalt typically costs 30-50% less than concrete initially and offers much faster installation with less disruption to your daily routine. While gravel is cheaper upfront, you’ll spend more on maintenance and replacement over time, plus deal with dust, mud, and loose stones.
The real value in asphalt comes from its lifespan when installed properly. Quality asphalt paving lasts 15-25 years with basic maintenance, compared to gravel that needs refreshing every few years or concrete that can crack and require expensive repairs.
We provide transparent pricing based on your specific project requirements—no hidden fees or surprise charges. Every estimate includes all materials, labor, and site preparation needed for a complete job that meets local standards.
New asphalt needs minimal maintenance for the first few years, but small actions make a huge difference in longevity. Keep the surface clean of debris and address any oil spills quickly—petroleum products can soften and damage asphalt over time.
After 2-3 years, sealcoating becomes important. This protective layer shields your asphalt from UV rays, water penetration, and chemical damage. In Coveville’s climate, we typically recommend sealcoating every 3-4 years depending on traffic and weather exposure.
Watch for small cracks and address them promptly. Crack sealing is inexpensive and prevents water from getting underneath your asphalt, which is where major damage starts. We provide specific maintenance schedules based on your project and can handle ongoing care when you’re ready.
