Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway or parking lot faces serious challenges here in Kings, NY. Salt exposure from winter treatments. Freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior work. Heavy traffic that tests every installation.
You need asphalt work that accounts for these realities from day one. Proper base preparation that handles our soil conditions. Materials selected for temperature swings. Installation techniques that prevent the drainage problems that destroy even good asphalt.
When it’s done right, you get smooth surfaces that stay that way. No constant patching. No premature replacement. Just reliable performance that protects your investment and keeps your property looking professional.
We’ve been handling asphalt paving, excavation, and foundation work throughout the Kings, NY area for over 25 years. We’re owner-operated, which means you deal directly with the person responsible for your project.
No middlemen. No confusion about who’s accountable. When you call, you talk to someone who actually understands the work and can give you straight answers about your specific situation.
We’ve seen what works in this area and what doesn’t. From the drainage challenges near Route 25A to the soil conditions around Pulaski Road, we adapt our approach to match local realities rather than using one-size-fits-all methods.
We start with an honest assessment of your current situation. What’s the existing base condition? How does water flow across your property? What kind of traffic will this surface handle?
Next comes proper preparation. This isn’t the step to cut corners on. We remove failed material, address drainage issues, and install the right base for your specific conditions. Poor preparation destroys even premium asphalt.
Installation happens when conditions are right. Temperature matters. Weather matters. We coordinate scheduling around these factors rather than pushing ahead when conditions aren’t optimal. The asphalt gets applied at proper thickness, compacted correctly, and finished to specifications that make sense for your property.
You get clear communication throughout the process. No surprises about timeline or scope. No wondering what’s happening next.

Our asphalt services cover everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots. New installations, complete reconstruction, and targeted repairs. We handle the excavation, base work, paving, and cleanup as a complete package.
For Kings, NY properties, this often means addressing drainage first. The area’s soil composition and slope patterns create specific challenges that need to be solved before any paving begins. We identify these issues during our initial assessment and build solutions into the project scope.
You also get our emergency response capability. Asphalt problems don’t always happen during business hours, and we understand that some situations need immediate attention to prevent bigger issues.
Our work comes with straightforward pricing and clear timelines. We explain what’s included, what might cause changes, and how we handle any issues that come up during the work.
Properly installed asphalt typically lasts 15-25 years in our climate, but the key word is “properly.” Kings, NY sees some challenging conditions—freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure, and varying soil conditions that can significantly impact lifespan.
The difference comes down to installation quality. Correct base preparation, proper drainage, and materials selected for local conditions can push that lifespan toward the upper end of the range. Shortcuts in any of these areas can cut it to 8-12 years or less.
We focus on the factors that actually matter: adequate base thickness, proper compaction, and drainage solutions that prevent water infiltration. These aren’t the most visible parts of the job, but they determine whether your asphalt performs for decades or starts failing within a few years.
Late spring through early fall provides optimal conditions for asphalt installation in our area. We need ambient temperatures consistently above 50°F and dry conditions for proper compaction and curing.
The timing isn’t just about weather, though. It’s about giving the asphalt the best chance to achieve maximum density during installation. Cold temperatures prevent proper compaction. Wet conditions create bonding problems. Rushing the timeline to fit a schedule rather than waiting for right conditions compromises the final result.
We coordinate scheduling around these requirements rather than pushing projects when conditions aren’t suitable. This might mean waiting a few days for better weather, but it’s the difference between asphalt that performs properly and asphalt that develops problems within the first year.
Drainage is critical here because of our soil composition and the way water moves across properties in this area. We evaluate your property’s natural water flow patterns during the initial assessment and design solutions that work with these conditions rather than fighting them.
This might involve adjusting grade to direct water toward appropriate drainage areas, installing catch basins where needed, or incorporating permeable materials in specific locations. The goal is preventing water from sitting on or infiltrating through the asphalt surface.
Poor drainage destroys even high-quality asphalt installations, so we never skip this step. We’ve seen too many otherwise good paving jobs fail because drainage wasn’t addressed properly during the planning phase. It’s much more cost-effective to solve these issues upfront than to deal with premature failure later.
Most residential projects take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers material installation and initial compaction. Day three handles final details and cleanup.
You can expect clear communication about what’s happening each day and any factors that might affect the timeline. Weather, material delivery, or unexpected site conditions can sometimes require schedule adjustments, and we’ll explain these situations as they arise.
We coordinate material delivery and handle any required permits as part of the service. You don’t need to manage multiple contractors or worry about sequencing different phases of work. We also handle complete cleanup when the job is finished, so you’re left with a professional result and a clean property.
Costs typically range $4-8 per square foot depending on surface area, base preparation requirements, thickness specifications, and site accessibility. The wide range reflects the reality that every property has different needs and challenges.
A straightforward residential driveway with good existing conditions will be toward the lower end of that range. Properties requiring extensive excavation, drainage work, or difficult access will be higher. We provide detailed estimates that break down these factors so you understand what drives the pricing.
We also explain what’s included in our pricing and what might cause changes during the work. Unexpected conditions can sometimes require scope adjustments, but we discuss these situations before making any changes and get your approval for additional work.
Yes, we provide warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship. Material warranties vary by product and manufacturer, while our workmanship warranty covers installation quality and ensures the job was done to proper standards.
Specific warranty terms depend on project scope and materials chosen, but we explain all coverage before work begins so you know exactly what’s protected and for how long. This includes what’s covered, what might void coverage, and how to address any issues that arise.
Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our work and materials. We’ve been serving this area for over 25 years, and our reputation depends on standing behind what we do. If something isn’t right, we come back and fix it—that’s how local contractors stay in business in a community where reputation matters.
