Hear From Our Clients
You get asphalt that handles what Igerna’s weather throws at it. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and summer heat won’t crack properly installed pavement.
Your driveway becomes an asset, not a liability. No more worrying about potholes damaging vehicles or guests tripping on uneven surfaces. Quality materials and proper installation mean fewer headaches and lower long-term costs.
Commercial properties see immediate improvements in customer experience and reduced liability concerns. A smooth, well-maintained parking lot tells customers you care about details and safety.
We’ve served the Igerna area for over 25 years. You work directly with the owner from your first call to project completion – no sales reps, no middlemen.
We know Warren County’s soil conditions, drainage challenges, and how winter affects pavement. That local knowledge means proper base preparation and materials selection for surfaces that last.
The owner handles every estimate personally and stays involved throughout your project. You get straight answers, competitive pricing, and the accountability that comes with a family name on the business.
First, we assess your site conditions and drainage requirements. Proper excavation and base preparation matter more than most people realize – especially in our climate where frost heave can destroy shortcuts.
Next comes material delivery and installation using commercial-grade equipment. We compact in lifts, ensuring proper density and avoiding future settling issues. Weather timing matters, so we schedule around temperature requirements.
Final steps include edge work, cleanup, and curing instructions. You get clear guidance on when you can use your new surface and how to maintain it for maximum lifespan.

We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and private roads throughout the Igerna area. We manage excavation, base preparation, asphalt installation, and final grading in-house.
Warren County’s rural properties often need additional services like land clearing, foundation work, and drainage solutions. We provide excavation and sitework year-round, shifting focus to foundations and land clearing during winter months when paving isn’t practical.
Emergency response available for urgent repairs. Potholes and pavement failures don’t wait for convenient timing, and neither do we. Direct owner contact means faster response when you need immediate attention.
Properly installed asphalt typically lasts 15-30 years in our area, depending on traffic, maintenance, and installation quality. Igerna’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement, but correct base preparation and proper drainage extend lifespan significantly.
The key factors are foundation depth, material quality, and installation timing. We excavate deeper than minimum requirements because Warren County’s frost line demands it. Shortcuts during installation cost more in the long run when premature failure occurs.
Regular maintenance like crack sealing and occasional sealcoating can push that lifespan toward the upper end of the range. We provide maintenance guidance specific to your installation and site conditions.
Commercial installations need thicker asphalt and stronger base materials to handle heavier loads and more frequent traffic. Residential driveways typically use 2-3 inches of asphalt over proper base, while commercial lots often require 4+ inches depending on expected traffic.
Drainage becomes more critical on larger commercial surfaces. Poor drainage causes premature failure, liability issues, and expensive repairs. We design proper slopes and install drainage systems that handle Igerna’s heavy snow melt and summer storms.
Commercial projects also involve ADA compliance, fire lane requirements, and local code considerations that residential work doesn’t face. We handle permitting and ensure your project meets all requirements from the start.
Late spring through early fall provides optimal conditions for asphalt installation. We need consistent temperatures above 50°F for proper material performance and curing. Igerna’s weather typically allows paving from April through October, depending on the specific year.
Summer offers the most scheduling flexibility, but it’s also our busiest season. Spring and fall often provide better availability and can be more cost-effective. We don’t rush jobs to meet weather deadlines – quality installation requires proper conditions.
Winter focus shifts to excavation, foundation work, and land clearing. These services don’t require the temperature sensitivity of asphalt installation, allowing year-round productivity for complete site development projects.
Drainage design happens before excavation begins. We evaluate existing water flow, identify problem areas, and design proper slopes to direct water away from structures and pavement edges. Poor drainage destroys even the best asphalt installation.
Installation includes crown and slope adjustments to ensure positive drainage. Water sitting on asphalt accelerates deterioration, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. We also install edge drains and catch basins where needed for larger projects.
Existing drainage problems get addressed during excavation. Sometimes this means additional excavation, stone installation, or drainage pipe work. These aren’t extras we add for profit – they’re necessary for long-term performance in our climate.
New asphalt needs time to fully cure and harden. We provide specific instructions for your installation, including when you can drive on it and weight restrictions for the first few weeks. Following these guidelines prevents premature damage.
Annual inspection for cracks and edge deterioration helps catch problems early. Small cracks sealed promptly prevent water infiltration and major repairs later. We recommend professional crack sealing every 2-3 years and sealcoating every 4-5 years depending on traffic and exposure.
Winter maintenance matters in our climate. Proper snow removal techniques, appropriate ice melt products, and avoiding metal plow blades directly on asphalt extend surface life. We provide maintenance guidance specific to your installation and local conditions.
Pricing depends on site conditions, access, material requirements, and project complexity. Simple residential driveways with good access cost less per square foot than complex commercial installations requiring extensive excavation or drainage work.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down materials, labor, and any additional services needed. No surprises or change orders unless you request modifications. Transparent pricing means you understand exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Local material sourcing and efficient project management keep costs competitive while maintaining quality standards. We’re not the cheapest option, but we deliver value through proper installation, quality materials, and long-term performance that reduces your total ownership costs.
