Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway becomes the entrance you actually want to pull into. No more dodging potholes or explaining to guests why they need to park on the street. No more water pooling against your foundation because the grade’s wrong.
You get a smooth, properly graded surface that handles our brutal Glens Falls winters without cracking apart by spring. The kind of asphalt work that makes your neighbors ask who did it—because it actually looks professional and lasts.
Most importantly, you get to stop thinking about your driveway. It just works, year after year, the way it should have from the beginning.
We’ve been handling asphalt work in the Glens Falls area for over 25 years. We’re the company locals call when they need it done right the first time, without the drama.
We know this region’s weather throws everything at your pavement—from summer heat that can reach the 80s to winter freezes that drop below zero. We know the soil conditions around here, from the clay deposits that need extra base work to the drainage challenges that come with our terrain.
When you work with us, you’re working directly with the owner. No middleman, no confusion about who’s responsible, no wondering if the crew actually knows what they’re doing. Just straightforward communication and work that holds up to everything Glens Falls weather can dish out.
First, we come out and actually look at what you’re dealing with. Not every driveway needs to be ripped out completely—sometimes an overlay works fine. Sometimes you need full excavation and a new base. We’ll tell you which one and why.
If you need excavation, we handle that too. We’ll remove the old material, grade everything properly for drainage, and install the right thickness of stone base for your specific soil conditions. In areas with clay, that means extra base material and road fabric to prevent settling.
Then comes the asphalt installation. We use proper thickness—typically 3-4 inches for residential driveways—and make sure the grade directs water away from your foundation. The asphalt gets compacted correctly while it’s still hot, so you don’t get soft spots or premature cracking.
The whole process usually takes 1-2 days for a typical driveway, depending on whether we’re doing excavation work. You can drive on it within 2-3 days, though full curing takes about a month.

Every asphalt job includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and installation that’s built to handle local conditions. We’re not just laying asphalt—we’re solving drainage problems, addressing soil issues, and making sure your pavement lasts.
In Glens Falls, that means understanding how our freeze-thaw cycles affect pavement. It means knowing when to use additional base material and when road fabric is necessary. It means proper grading so spring snowmelt doesn’t turn your driveway into a pond.
We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and everything in between. Whether you’re dealing with a small residential patch job or a complete commercial lot renovation, we have the equipment and experience to handle it properly.
Our pricing is straightforward—typically $5-7 per square foot for new installation, depending on site conditions and thickness requirements. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for, so there are no surprises when the work’s done.
Asphalt paving in the Glens Falls area typically runs $5-7 per square foot for new installation, depending on site conditions and thickness requirements. A standard 12×40 foot driveway usually costs between $2,500-4,400.
The price depends on several factors: whether you need excavation, the thickness of asphalt required, soil conditions, and accessibility. If your existing driveway is in decent shape, an overlay can cost $2-4 less per square foot than full replacement.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material costs, labor, and any additional work needed like drainage or base preparation. No hidden fees or surprise charges—you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
The ideal paving season in Glens Falls runs from late spring through early fall, typically May through October. Asphalt needs warm temperatures—at least 50°F consistently—to install and cure properly.
Summer months offer the most flexibility for scheduling, but spring and fall can actually be better for getting on the schedule quickly. We avoid paving during our harsh winters when temperatures regularly drop below freezing, as this can prevent proper compaction and curing.
If you have an emergency repair during winter months, we can handle patching work, but major paving projects wait for warmer weather. The investment in waiting for proper conditions pays off in pavement that lasts decades instead of years.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the scope of work. If we’re just doing an overlay on existing asphalt in good condition, that’s often a one-day job.
Full excavation and replacement takes longer—typically 2 days for site prep and paving. Commercial projects or driveways requiring extensive drainage work can take 3-5 days.
You can walk on new asphalt within 24 hours and drive on it within 2-3 days. However, full curing takes about 30 days, so avoid heavy vehicles or sharp turns during that period. We’ll give you specific guidelines based on weather conditions and asphalt thickness.
Yes, but not immediately. New asphalt should cure for 6-12 months before the first sealcoating application. This allows the oils in the asphalt to properly oxidize and harden.
After that initial period, sealcoating every 3-5 years helps protect against water penetration, UV damage, and the freeze-thaw cycles we get here in Glens Falls. It’s especially important in our climate where winter road salt can accelerate deterioration.
Proper sealcoating can extend your driveway’s life from 15-20 years to 25-30 years. It’s a small investment compared to premature replacement, and it keeps your driveway looking professional instead of faded and worn.
An overlay involves laying new asphalt directly over existing pavement that’s still structurally sound. It’s less expensive and faster—usually about half the cost of full replacement. Good option if you have minor cracking or surface wear but a solid base.
Full replacement means removing old pavement, addressing any base issues, and installing completely new asphalt. It’s necessary if you have major cracking, potholes, drainage problems, or base failure.
We’ll assess your current pavement and recommend the right approach. Sometimes spending extra for full replacement saves money long-term by addressing underlying problems that would just resurface with an overlay. Other times, an overlay gives you years of additional service at a fraction of the cost.
Paving over concrete is possible but requires careful evaluation. The concrete needs to be in good condition without major cracks or settling. We typically need to install a bonding agent and may need to adjust thickness for proper drainage.
Gravel driveways usually need complete removal before asphalt installation. Loose gravel doesn’t provide the stable base asphalt requires, and mixing materials leads to premature failure.
The best approach depends on your specific situation. We’ll evaluate your existing surface and explain your options—sometimes removal and proper base installation costs less in the long run than trying to work around existing materials that aren’t suitable for supporting asphalt.
