Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway stops being a problem when it’s built correctly from the start. No more worrying about cracks spreading every spring or water pooling after storms.
When we finish your project, you’ll have a smooth, properly graded surface that drains water away from your foundation and handles everything from school pickup traffic to delivery trucks. The difference shows immediately—and it lasts.
Most importantly, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting before we start, with clear timelines and transparent pricing that won’t change halfway through the job.
We’ve been paving driveways in Schuylerville and the greater Capital Region for over 25 years, which means we understand exactly what works here and what doesn’t.
Your project gets the attention of the owner, not just a crew supervisor. We’ve built our reputation one driveway at a time through word-of-mouth referrals from neighbors who were happy with the results.
The local advantage matters more than you might think. We know how Schuylerville’s soil drains, what the freeze-thaw cycles do to different asphalt mixes, and how to grade a driveway so water flows away from your foundation instead of toward it.
The work starts with proper site preparation—excavation, grading, and installing a compacted stone base that won’t shift or settle. This foundation work determines how long your driveway will last, so we don’t cut corners here.
Next comes the asphalt installation using DOT-approved materials designed for New York’s weather conditions. We apply the right thickness for your specific use, whether that’s daily family traffic or accommodating heavier vehicles.
The final step is proper compaction and finishing, followed by clear instructions on when you can start using the driveway. We handle cleanup completely, so you’re left with just the finished result.

Every project includes proper excavation, stone base preparation, and professional-grade asphalt installation with the right thickness for your needs. We also handle all the details like proper drainage grading and connection to existing surfaces.
In Schuylerville’s climate, timing matters. We schedule projects during optimal weather conditions—typically April through October—when temperatures allow asphalt to cure correctly. This seasonal approach ensures better long-term performance than rushing jobs during marginal weather.
You’ll also receive clear maintenance guidance to protect your investment. Simple steps like crack sealing and periodic sealcoating can extend your driveway’s life significantly, and we’ll explain exactly what to watch for and when to act.
Driveway paving costs in Schuylerville typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, depending on several factors. The main cost drivers include the size of your driveway, thickness of asphalt needed, amount of excavation required, and site accessibility.
A standard residential driveway of about 600 square feet usually runs between $4,200 and $9,000 for complete replacement. New installations requiring extensive excavation and grading will be toward the higher end of this range.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges—just transparent pricing based on the actual work required for your specific project.
The optimal paving season in New York runs from April through October when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F during installation and curing. Asphalt needs warm weather to compact properly and achieve maximum durability.
We avoid paving during winter months or when temperatures are expected to drop significantly within 48 hours of installation. Cold weather prevents proper curing and can lead to premature cracking and failure.
Spring and early fall are often ideal because temperatures are moderate and weather patterns are more predictable. We monitor forecasts closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right—it’s better to wait for proper weather than compromise the quality of your driveway.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Schuylerville should last 25 to 30 years with appropriate maintenance. The key factors affecting longevity include quality of initial installation, proper drainage, and regular upkeep like crack sealing and sealcoating.
Our area’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on pavement, which is why we use DOT-approved asphalt mixes designed for New York’s climate conditions. Cheaper materials or poor installation techniques can reduce lifespan significantly.
Regular maintenance every 3-5 years—mainly sealcoating and addressing small cracks before they spread—can actually extend your driveway’s life beyond 30 years. We provide specific maintenance schedules based on your driveway’s usage and exposure conditions.
Most driveway replacement projects in Schuylerville don’t require permits if you’re staying within the existing footprint and not changing drainage patterns. However, new driveways or significant expansions typically do need approval from local authorities.
We handle permit applications when required and ensure all work meets local building codes and drainage requirements. This includes proper setbacks from property lines and ensuring runoff doesn’t impact neighboring properties.
It’s always better to check requirements upfront rather than deal with compliance issues later. We’ll review your specific situation during the initial consultation and advise you on any permits needed for your project.
You can typically drive on your new asphalt driveway within 24 to 48 hours after installation, depending on weather conditions and asphalt thickness. We’ll give you specific guidance based on your project’s details and current temperatures.
For the first week, avoid parking in the same spot repeatedly and be careful with sharp turns or heavy vehicles. The asphalt continues curing for several weeks, becoming more durable over time.
We provide clear instructions on post-installation care, including when it’s safe for heavy delivery trucks or moving vehicles. Following these guidelines helps ensure your driveway reaches its full strength and durability potential.
Look for contractors with established local experience, proper insurance coverage, and a track record of completed projects in your area. Avoid door-to-door solicitors or contractors who can’t provide local references and proof of insurance.
A professional contractor will provide detailed written estimates, explain their process clearly, and be willing to discuss materials and methods. They should also guarantee their work and be available for follow-up if issues arise.
Red flags include demands for full payment upfront, pressure to sign immediately, or quotes significantly below others. Quality paving requires proper materials and techniques—extremely low bids usually mean corners will be cut somewhere in the process.
