Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway takes a beating from Malta’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and temperature swings that can crack inferior asphalt within a few seasons. When it’s done right, you get a smooth surface that drains properly, resists cracking, and maintains its appearance for 20+ years.
The difference comes down to proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques that account for our local climate. No shortcuts, no corner-cutting—just asphalt paving that performs exactly how you need it to.
You deserve a driveway that enhances your property value instead of becoming a constant maintenance headache.
We’ve been handling asphalt projects throughout Malta and the Capital Region for over 25 years. Mike Morgan personally oversees every project from initial estimate to final cleanup.
We’ve paved driveways near GlobalFoundries, around Saratoga Lake, and throughout the Luther Forest Technology Campus area. Our crews understand how Malta’s clay soils, drainage patterns, and winter conditions affect asphalt performance.
When you call us, you’re talking directly to the owner—not a sales rep who disappears after you sign. Mike handles estimates, answers questions, and makes sure every project meets his standards before our crew leaves your property.
We start with a site evaluation to assess drainage, soil conditions, and any existing pavement issues. Mike provides a detailed estimate that explains exactly what work needs to be done and why.
Excavation and base preparation come next—this foundation work determines how long your asphalt will last. We install proper drainage, compact the base material, and ensure the grade directs water away from your foundation.
The asphalt installation happens quickly once the prep work is complete. Hot mix asphalt gets laid, compacted, and finished to create a smooth, durable surface. We clean up thoroughly and provide guidance on when you can safely drive on your new pavement.

Our asphalt services include new driveway installation, parking lot construction, asphalt repairs, and resurfacing projects. We handle residential driveways, commercial parking areas, and private roads throughout Malta.
Malta’s location near the Adirondacks means dealing with significant frost penetration and soil movement. We account for these conditions by using appropriate base depths, proper drainage systems, and asphalt mixes designed for Northeast weather patterns.
Emergency repairs are available year-round. Winter damage happens, and we respond quickly to handle safety hazards or prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Our equipment and experience allow us to work effectively even in challenging conditions.
Asphalt driveway costs in Malta typically range from $7 to $13 per square foot, depending on the project complexity and site conditions. A standard residential driveway averages between $3,500 and $8,000 for complete installation.
Several factors affect pricing: existing driveway removal, drainage improvements, base preparation requirements, and driveway size. Properties with challenging access, steep grades, or poor soil conditions may require additional work that increases the total cost.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprise charges, no hidden fees—just transparent pricing that lets you make informed decisions about your investment.
The optimal asphalt installation season in Malta runs from late April through October, when ground temperatures stay consistently above 40 degrees. Hot mix asphalt needs adequate temperature for proper compaction and bonding.
Spring and early summer offer ideal conditions—ground has thawed completely, weather is more predictable, and you have the full season ahead to enjoy your new driveway. Fall installations work well too, giving the asphalt time to cure before winter freeze-thaw cycles begin.
Emergency repairs can be handled year-round using specialized techniques and materials. However, full driveway installations should be scheduled during favorable weather conditions to ensure the best long-term performance.
Properly installed asphalt driveways in Malta typically last 20-30 years with regular maintenance. The key is proper installation that accounts for our freeze-thaw cycles, soil conditions, and drainage requirements.
Malta’s winter conditions are tough on asphalt—temperature swings cause expansion and contraction, while ice and snow create moisture penetration risks. Quality installation with appropriate base depth and proper drainage significantly extends pavement life.
Regular maintenance like crack sealing and periodic sealcoating helps protect your investment. Minor repairs handled promptly prevent small issues from becoming major problems that require complete replacement.
Our complete asphalt paving service includes site evaluation, excavation, base preparation, proper grading for drainage, hot mix asphalt installation, compaction, and thorough cleanup. We handle all aspects from start to finish.
Base preparation is critical for long-term performance. We excavate to appropriate depths, install drainage where needed, and use quality base materials properly compacted to create a stable foundation. This prep work determines how well your asphalt performs over time.
The asphalt installation uses hot mix materials delivered at proper temperatures and installed with professional-grade equipment. We compact thoroughly, create smooth transitions, and ensure proper drainage patterns before completing final cleanup.
Yes, we provide emergency asphalt repair services throughout Malta year-round. Winter damage, utility work, or unexpected issues can create safety hazards that need immediate attention.
Emergency repairs might include pothole patching, temporary surface restoration, or safety improvements to prevent further damage. We respond quickly because we understand that some asphalt problems can’t wait for ideal weather conditions.
While emergency work focuses on safety and preventing additional damage, we also provide recommendations for permanent solutions. This approach helps you address immediate concerns while planning for long-term repairs when conditions allow optimal results.
Malta’s freeze-thaw cycles and winter conditions require specific installation techniques and materials designed for Northeast weather patterns. We use appropriate asphalt mixes, proper base depths, and drainage systems that handle seasonal ground movement.
Proper drainage is essential for winter performance. Water infiltration followed by freezing causes most asphalt failures in our area. We grade surfaces to direct water away from the pavement and install drainage improvements where necessary.
Our installation timing accounts for curing requirements before winter weather arrives. Asphalt needs adequate time to achieve full strength and stability before experiencing freeze-thaw stress. This planning approach ensures optimal long-term performance despite challenging conditions.
