Hear From Our Clients
You get a smooth, properly graded surface that drains correctly and stands up to freeze-thaw cycles. No more worrying about cracks spreading every winter or water pooling near your foundation.
Your driveway becomes an asset that adds curb appeal and property value. Neighbors notice the difference, and you drive home with confidence knowing your investment was done right.
The peace of mind comes from working with someone who’s been doing this for over 25 years in your community. You’re not dealing with fly-by-night operators or crews who disappear after the job.
We’ve been serving Rexford and the surrounding Capital Region since 2000. We understand what works in this area because we live here too.
The freeze-thaw cycles that hit our region every winter demand proper installation and drainage. We’ve seen what happens when corners get cut, and we don’t work that way.
You get direct access to the owner throughout your project. No middlemen, no confusion about what’s happening or when. Just straightforward communication and quality work from people who care about their reputation in this community.
First, we assess your existing driveway and drainage situation. Every property in Rexford is different, and we need to understand what we’re working with before we start.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start if it’s done wrong. We grade for proper drainage away from your home and ensure the base can handle our weather.
Then we install your new asphalt using proper temperatures and compaction techniques. The timing matters here—we don’t rush this part because it determines how your driveway performs for the next 15-20 years.

Your driveway project includes proper excavation, base preparation, and professional asphalt installation. We handle the permits and coordinate with local requirements so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues.
Rexford’s clay soils and seasonal weather patterns require specific approaches to drainage and base preparation. We account for these local conditions in every project because generic solutions don’t work here.
You also get clear project timelines and regular updates. We know you need to plan around construction, especially if your driveway is your only access point. Our scheduling keeps disruptions to a minimum while ensuring quality results.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Rexford typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The key is proper installation that accounts for our freeze-thaw cycles and clay soil conditions.
The lifespan depends heavily on the base preparation and drainage. Driveways that fail early usually have drainage problems or inadequate base work. We see this frequently with rushed jobs or contractors who don’t understand local conditions.
Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair extend the life significantly. Most homeowners who follow basic maintenance get two decades or more from a quality installation.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt installation. We typically recommend May through October for new driveways, when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees.
Winter paving is possible for emergency repairs, but new installations perform better when the asphalt can cure properly. Cold weather affects compaction and bonding, which impacts long-term durability.
We book projects year-round but schedule installation dates based on weather conditions. This approach ensures your driveway gets the proper curing time it needs for maximum lifespan.
Proper drainage starts with correct grading during excavation. We slope the driveway away from your home and toward appropriate drainage areas, typically achieving a 2% grade minimum.
Rexford’s clay soils don’t drain naturally, so we often install additional drainage measures. This might include French drains, catch basins, or modified base materials that help water move away from the asphalt.
Poor drainage is the number one cause of premature driveway failure in our area. Water that can’t escape freezes and expands, creating cracks that grow larger each winter. We address this upfront rather than dealing with expensive repairs later.
Most residential driveways take 2-3 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two is asphalt installation and final grading.
You’ll need alternative parking arrangements during construction. We coordinate timing to minimize inconvenience, but your driveway will be inaccessible during active work periods.
The new asphalt needs 24-48 hours before normal vehicle traffic. We provide specific guidance about when you can drive on it safely. Rushing this part can cause permanent damage to the surface.
Residential driveway costs typically range from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions and thickness requirements. A standard 600 square foot driveway usually runs $2,400-$4,800 installed.
Factors affecting price include excavation requirements, drainage needs, and accessibility. Driveways requiring significant drainage work or difficult access cost more due to additional labor and materials.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs. No surprise charges or hidden fees. You know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work.
Yes, we warranty our workmanship and stand behind the quality of our installations. Specific warranty terms depend on the scope of work and are detailed in your contract.
Our warranty covers installation defects and premature failure due to workmanship issues. Normal wear, damage from improper use, or lack of maintenance aren’t covered, but we’re always available to discuss maintenance and repair options.
We’ve been in business over 20 years because we do quality work that lasts. Our reputation depends on satisfied customers, so we address any legitimate concerns promptly and professionally.
