Your driveway takes a beating from harsh Adirondack winters, daily traffic, and time. When it’s properly installed with quality materials and expert technique, you get smooth access to your property for 25-30 years.
No more scraping your car on uneven surfaces or dealing with potholes that damage your vehicle. A well-paved driveway means reliable access in any weather, increased property value, and peace of mind knowing it’s built right the first time.
You’ll drive up to your home with confidence, knowing your investment protects both your property and your vehicles from the damage that comes with deteriorating surfaces.
We’ve been paving driveways across Chestertown and Warren County for over 25 years. We understand how Adirondack conditions affect asphalt—from freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior work to the soil conditions that require proper base preparation.
As an owner-operated business, you work directly with the person responsible for your project from start to finish. No middlemen, no confusion about who’s accountable.
We’ve built our reputation through word-of-mouth referrals from neighbors who know quality work when they see it. That’s how small communities like Chestertown work—your reputation is everything.
First, we assess your property and discuss exactly what you need. We look at drainage, soil conditions, and how you use your driveway to determine the right approach.
Next comes proper site preparation—excavation if needed, grading for water runoff, and compacting the base material. This foundation work determines how long your driveway lasts, so we don’t cut corners.
Then we install the asphalt at the proper thickness for your specific situation. Heavy equipment areas get thicker material, while standard residential driveways follow proven specifications that handle daily use and weather extremes.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished work with you. You’ll know exactly when you can drive on it and what to expect as it cures.

Every driveway project includes proper excavation when needed, quality base material, and asphalt mixed for local conditions. We handle everything from small residential driveways to larger properties that need specialized access.
In Chestertown’s rural setting, many properties have unique challenges—steep grades, curved access, or areas where drainage needs special attention. We’ve handled these situations for decades and know how to adapt our approach.
Our service area covers all of Warren County, and we understand the local soil conditions, seasonal timing requirements, and how different property types in the area need different approaches. Whether you’re on a historic property near the hamlet center or a newer home near Loon Lake, we adjust our methods accordingly.
Driveway paving in Chestertown typically runs $7-15 per square foot, depending on your specific situation. Factors that affect cost include the size of your driveway, how much excavation is needed, the thickness of asphalt required, and site accessibility.
A standard residential driveway of about 800 square feet usually costs between $3,200-5,600 for replacement. New driveways with grading typically range from $4,800-8,400 for 1,200 square feet.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for, so there are no surprises. Every property is different, which is why we assess your specific situation before giving you a firm price.
The ideal time for driveway paving in Chestertown is between April and October when temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees. Asphalt needs warm weather to compact properly and cure correctly.
We typically see the busiest season from late spring through early fall. Scheduling your project during shoulder seasons—late April/May or September/early October—often means better availability and sometimes better pricing.
Winter paving isn’t recommended in our climate because cold temperatures prevent proper compaction and can lead to premature failure. We use the winter months for planning, excavation work when conditions allow, and foundation projects that aren’t weather-dependent.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Chestertown should last 25-30 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate asphalt thickness, and regular upkeep like crack sealing and occasional sealcoating.
Our harsh winters with freeze-thaw cycles put extra stress on driveways, which is why proper installation matters so much. Driveways that fail early usually have problems with the base preparation or were installed too thin for the conditions.
With simple maintenance—filling cracks when they appear and applying sealcoat every 3-5 years—you can extend your driveway’s life well beyond 30 years. We’ll give you specific maintenance recommendations based on your property’s conditions.
Yes, we regularly work with challenging terrain throughout the Adirondack region. Steep driveways, curved access roads, and properties with difficult access are common in Chestertown, and we have the experience and equipment to handle them properly.
Steep driveways require special attention to grading, drainage, and sometimes different asphalt mixes to prevent issues with heavy vehicles or winter conditions. We also consider how emergency vehicles and delivery trucks will navigate your driveway.
Each challenging site gets a customized approach. We’ll assess your specific situation, discuss options that work within your budget, and explain exactly how we’ll handle any unique aspects of your property.
Yes, we offer emergency response for urgent driveway problems that affect your ability to access your property safely. This includes situations like washouts from heavy rain, severe pothole damage, or winter damage that makes your driveway impassable.
Emergency repairs focus on restoring safe access quickly, though permanent solutions often need to wait for proper weather conditions. We’ll stabilize the immediate problem and schedule permanent repairs when conditions allow quality work.

You work directly with the owner from your first call through project completion. No sales people, no project managers who disappear—just straightforward communication with the person responsible for your work.
We’ve been owner-operated in this area for over 25 years, building our reputation through quality work and word-of-mouth referrals. We focus on long-term relationships with clients rather than one-off sales, which means we stand behind our work.
Our approach emphasizes honest pricing, clear communication, and quality results without gimmicks or pressure tactics. We’re part of this community, and our reputation depends on doing right by our neighbors.
