Hear From Our Clients
No more dealing with contractors who disappear mid-project or leave you with surfaces that crack after one winter. You get asphalt work that handles New York’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic without falling apart.
Your property looks professional and functions properly. No more water pooling in your driveway or parking lot because we understand drainage. No more explaining your project to different people every time you call because the owner stays involved from your first call to final cleanup.
You know exactly what you’re paying upfront. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, no pressure tactics. Just straightforward pricing for quality work that protects your investment for decades.
We’ve been serving the Starks Knob area since before most paving companies even existed. We’ve seen every type of soil condition, drainage challenge, and weather pattern this region can throw at asphalt surfaces.
The owner handles your project personally. When you call, you’re talking to someone who actually knows your job and can make decisions on the spot. No phone tag with office staff who don’t know what’s happening on site.
We’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time in this community. Your neighbors have trusted us with their driveways, parking lots, and commercial paving projects because we show up when we say we will and deliver what we promise.
First, we come out and assess your specific situation. Every property in Starks Knob has different drainage patterns, soil conditions, and usage requirements. We measure everything, check the existing base, and identify any potential issues before they become expensive problems.
Then you get a detailed, written estimate that breaks down exactly what work needs to be done and why. No vague line items or confusing technical jargon. You’ll understand what you’re paying for and how long it will take.
During the work, the owner or foreman is on site managing every detail. We coordinate with local requirements, keep you updated on progress, and handle any unexpected issues without nickel-and-diming you. When we’re done, you get maintenance instructions and a direct number for any questions down the road.
Ready to get started?
Your asphalt work is designed specifically for Starks Knob’s climate conditions. We account for the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poorly installed pavement and ensure proper drainage to prevent water damage. The base preparation and material selection are matched to your soil type and expected traffic load.
You get year-round service availability. While most contractors disappear in winter, we shift to foundation work, excavation, and emergency repairs. If a water main breaks and damages your driveway in February, we can handle both the excavation and the asphalt restoration.
Every project includes direct access to the owner throughout the process. No dealing with different crews who don’t know your specific requirements. No waiting for callbacks from busy office staff. When you have a question or concern, you get an answer from someone who can actually do something about it.
With proper installation and maintenance, your asphalt driveway should last 20-30 years in our local climate. The key factors are base preparation, drainage design, and using the right asphalt mix for New York’s freeze-thaw conditions.
We’ve seen driveways we installed 25 years ago still performing well because we don’t cut corners on the foundation work. Poor base preparation is the main reason asphalt fails early in our area. We excavate to the proper depth, install adequate stone base, and ensure water drains away from the surface instead of pooling and causing damage.
Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair will extend the life even further. We provide specific maintenance schedules based on your driveway’s usage and exposure conditions.
Our estimates break down every aspect of your project so you know exactly what you’re paying for. This includes excavation depth, stone base thickness, asphalt depth, and any drainage work needed for your specific site conditions.
We also include cleanup, disposal of old materials, and restoration of any landscaping or lawn areas affected by the work. If we need to coordinate with utility companies or obtain permits, that’s detailed in the estimate too. No surprise charges later for “extras” that should have been included from the start.
The estimate also specifies our timeline, weather contingencies, and maintenance recommendations. We want you to understand the entire process before any work begins so there are no misunderstandings about scope or cost.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent asphalt repairs year-round. While major paving projects are best done in warmer weather, we can handle emergency situations like water main breaks, utility repairs, or safety hazards that can’t wait until spring.
For winter emergency work, we use specialized cold-mix materials and techniques that provide temporary but reliable repairs until permanent work can be completed. We’ve handled everything from emergency access roads to critical parking lot repairs during winter storms.
Our emergency response typically gets someone to your site within 24 hours to assess the situation and provide temporary stabilization if needed. We then coordinate with you on the best approach for permanent repairs once weather conditions allow proper hot-mix asphalt work.
Proper drainage design is critical for asphalt longevity in New York’s climate. We start by evaluating your property’s natural water flow patterns and identifying where water needs to go during heavy rains and snowmelt periods.
The asphalt surface is graded to direct water away from structures and toward appropriate drainage areas. We install proper crown and slope to prevent ponding, and add drainage structures like catch basins or French drains where needed. The stone base is also designed to handle subsurface water movement.
We also seal all joints and transitions where water typically penetrates. Areas around garage doors, sidewalk connections, and utility penetrations get special attention because these are common failure points. Preventing water infiltration is much less expensive than repairing damage after it occurs.
The biggest difference is owner involvement throughout your project. You’re not dealing with different crews, estimators, and office staff who don’t communicate with each other. The owner handles your project from initial assessment through final cleanup and follows up afterward.
We also focus on long-term relationships rather than one-time sales. That means we’re not cutting corners to maximize profit on your job because we want you to call us for future work and recommend us to your neighbors. Our reputation in this community matters more than squeezing extra margin out of any single project.
Our approach is straightforward and transparent. No high-pressure sales tactics, no confusing technical jargon, no surprise charges. We explain what needs to be done, why it needs to be done that way, and exactly what it will cost. You make informed decisions based on honest information about your specific situation.
Absolutely. We handle crack sealing, pothole repair, sealcoating, and other maintenance services to extend the life of your existing asphalt. Regular maintenance is much more cost-effective than waiting until you need complete replacement.
We can assess your current asphalt condition and develop a maintenance schedule that fits your budget and usage requirements. Some driveways need attention every few years, while others can go longer depending on traffic, exposure, and how well they were originally installed.
Our maintenance services include both emergency repairs and planned preventive work. We can handle everything from small crack repairs to larger section replacement if part of your surface has failed. The goal is always to protect your investment and avoid more expensive problems down the road.
