You pull into your driveway every single day. Your guests do too. A cracked, pothole-filled surface doesn’t just look bad—it tells everyone your property isn’t maintained.
A properly paved driveway changes that story completely. Smooth asphalt that drains correctly. No more jarring bumps or scraping your car’s undercarriage. No more explaining to visitors why they need to “watch that big hole near the mailbox.”
Instead, you get a clean, professional entrance that adds real value to your property. The kind of driveway that handles everything from daily commutes to emergency vehicles without breaking down after the first hard winter.
We’ve been paving driveways in East Galway and the surrounding region for over 25 years. We’re not a fly-by-night crew or a national chain—we’re your neighbors, and we understand what works in this climate.
Owner-operated means you talk directly to the person responsible for your project. No sales reps, no middlemen, no confusion about who’s actually doing the work. When you call us, you get straight answers from someone who’s been handling East Galway’s paving challenges for decades.
We’ve seen how harsh winters and spring thaws affect driveways in this area. That’s why we focus on proper drainage, quality materials, and installation methods that actually last in upstate New York conditions.
Your driveway paving project starts with an honest assessment of what you actually need. We’ll examine your current surface, drainage situation, and any specific challenges your property presents. You get a clear explanation of the work required and transparent pricing upfront.
Site preparation comes next—proper excavation, grading for drainage, and a solid base that won’t shift or settle. This foundation work determines how long your driveway will last, so we don’t cut corners here.
The paving itself happens when conditions are right. We use quality asphalt mixes designed for our local climate and apply them at proper thickness for your specific use. After installation, we’ll explain the curing process and when you can safely use your new driveway. No guesswork, no surprises—just professional work done right the first time.

Every driveway we install in East Galway gets proper drainage planning. Water pooling destroys asphalt fast, especially with our freeze-thaw cycles. We grade each project to direct water away from your driveway and foundation.
Our asphalt installations use appropriate thickness for residential use—typically 3-4 inches over a properly prepared base. This isn’t the minimum that technically works; it’s what actually lasts in our climate. We also plan for thermal expansion and contraction that comes with upstate New York temperature swings.
East Galway’s rural setting means many driveways are longer than typical suburban installations. We handle everything from short residential drives to extended rural approaches, adapting our methods to your specific property layout and usage requirements. Emergency response capability means we’re available when you need repairs or have urgent access issues.
Driveway paving in East Galway typically costs $4 to $7 per square foot for residential projects, depending on your specific situation. A standard 600 square foot driveway runs approximately $2,400 to $4,200 installed.
Several factors affect your final cost: current driveway condition, drainage requirements, site access, and asphalt thickness needed. Properties requiring significant grading or drainage work cost more than straightforward replacements over existing stable surfaces.
We provide transparent estimates that break down all costs upfront. No hidden charges, no surprise fees after we start work. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we begin your project.
The optimal paving season in East Galway runs from April through October when temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees. Asphalt needs warm weather to compact properly and cure correctly.
Spring and fall often provide the best conditions—warm days without summer’s extreme heat that can make asphalt difficult to work with. We avoid paving during wet periods or when overnight temperatures might drop below freezing within the first week after installation.
Winter work is possible for emergency repairs, but full driveway installations wait for proper weather. We’ll schedule your project during the ideal window for your specific situation and keep you updated if weather delays become necessary.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in East Galway typically lasts 15-20 years with appropriate maintenance. Our local climate is hard on pavement, but quality installation and regular care extend driveway life significantly.
The key is starting with proper installation—adequate base preparation, correct asphalt thickness, and proper drainage. Cheap installations that skip these steps fail within 5-7 years. Professional work using appropriate materials and methods handles our freeze-thaw cycles much better.
Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years protects against water penetration and extends surface life. Prompt crack repair prevents small issues from becoming major problems. We’ll explain the maintenance schedule that keeps your investment performing for decades.
Yes, proper drainage planning is included with every driveway paving project in East Galway. Water management is critical here because pooling water destroys asphalt quickly, especially during freeze-thaw cycles.
We evaluate your property’s natural drainage patterns and grade your new driveway accordingly. This includes creating proper slope away from structures, installing drainage solutions where needed, and ensuring water flows to appropriate areas rather than pooling on your pavement.
Many existing driveways fail because they were installed without considering drainage. We fix these issues as part of your new installation, so you won’t deal with the same problems again. Proper drainage isn’t an add-on service—it’s fundamental to quality driveway construction.
Sometimes overlay paving works, but it depends on your existing driveway’s condition and structure. We’ll assess whether your current base can support additional asphalt weight and whether the existing surface provides a stable foundation.
Overlay works best when your current driveway has minor surface issues but solid underlying structure. If there are significant cracks, settling, or drainage problems, complete removal and replacement delivers better long-term results.
We’ll recommend the approach that makes sense for your specific situation and budget. Overlay costs less initially but may not last as long as full replacement. Complete reconstruction costs more upfront but often provides better value over time, especially in East Galway’s challenging climate conditions.
Yes, we maintain full licensing and insurance coverage for all paving work in East Galway and throughout our service area. We provide documentation of our insurance coverage before starting any project.
Our licensing ensures we meet all local requirements for construction work, and our insurance protects both your property and our workers during the project. We handle any required permits and ensure all work meets local codes and standards.
Twenty-five years in business means we understand the importance of proper coverage and professional standards. You can feel confident that your project is handled by qualified, protected professionals who take responsibility for their work.
