Hear From Our Clients
Your parking lot takes a beating from Adirondack winters. Freeze-thaw cycles crack the surface, spring runoff creates drainage issues, and summer heat can soften inferior asphalt.
You need paving that’s built for this climate. Our asphalt installations use proper base preparation and quality materials designed to handle temperature swings from -20°F winters to 90°F summers. The result? Parking lots that stay smooth and safe for years, not months.
When your pavement fails, it’s not just an eyesore. Cracked, uneven surfaces create liability risks, damage vehicles, and make your business look unprofessional. Quality paving eliminates these headaches while protecting your investment.
We’ve been handling paving projects across the Adirondack region since the late 1990s. We understand what works in this climate because we’ve seen what fails.
As an owner-operated company, you work directly with us—the decision-makers. No middlemen, no confusion about who’s responsible for what. When you call, you get straight answers about timeline, costs, and what your project actually needs.
We’ve built our reputation one project at a time in communities like Horicon, where word travels fast and quality work speaks for itself. That’s why we focus on doing things right the first time instead of cutting corners to win bids.
Every quality parking lot starts with proper excavation and base preparation. We remove existing damaged pavement, grade the area for proper drainage, and install a compacted stone base that can handle the weight and weather.
Next comes the asphalt installation. We use hot-mix asphalt applied at the correct temperature and thickness for your specific traffic needs. Commercial lots get different treatment than residential driveways because the demands are different.
Finally, we handle the finishing details. Proper compaction, edge work, and any necessary striping or marking. We clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you to ensure everything meets expectations. No surprises, no shortcuts.

Our parking lot paving services include everything from initial excavation to final striping. We handle site preparation, drainage solutions, base installation, asphalt paving, and restoration work for existing lots.
In Horicon’s climate, proper drainage is critical. Spring snowmelt and summer storms can destroy poorly designed parking lots. We grade every project to direct water away from the pavement and buildings, preventing the pooling that leads to premature failure.
We also understand the seasonal nature of paving work in the Adirondacks. Optimal paving conditions exist from late spring through early fall. During winter months, we focus on planning and preparation so your project can start immediately when weather permits. Emergency repairs are available year-round when safety demands immediate attention.
Most parking lot paving projects in Horicon take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Weather plays a role since asphalt needs dry conditions and temperatures above 50°F for proper installation.
Small commercial lots under 5,000 square feet typically require 2-3 days including excavation and base work. Larger projects or those requiring significant drainage improvements may take a week or more. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed if weather delays affect the schedule.
The key is not rushing the process. Proper base preparation and allowing adequate curing time between steps ensures your parking lot will last for decades, not just a few years.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for parking lot paving in the Adirondack region. We typically start projects in May once ground thaw is complete and continue through October before winter weather arrives.
Summer months provide optimal conditions with consistent temperatures and lower humidity. However, spring and fall installations work well too if scheduled properly. Winter emergency repairs are possible but limited to temporary solutions until permanent work can be completed.
Book early for peak season scheduling. Many property owners wait until they see damage, but planning ahead ensures your project gets completed when conditions are ideal rather than when it becomes urgent.
Parking lot paving costs vary based on size, current condition, and specific site requirements. Most projects range from $3-7 per square foot including excavation, base preparation, and asphalt installation.
Factors affecting price include: depth of excavation needed, drainage requirements, accessibility for equipment, and thickness of asphalt required for your traffic load. Commercial lots handling delivery trucks need thicker asphalt than light-duty parking areas.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs. No hidden fees for equipment mobilization, disposal, or “unforeseen” conditions that should have been obvious during the initial site visit. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
Yes, many parking lots can be restored through patching, crack sealing, and overlay applications rather than complete replacement. The decision depends on the extent of damage and the age of existing pavement.
Surface cracking and minor settling can often be addressed with crack sealing and a new asphalt overlay. However, if the base has failed or there’s extensive alligator cracking, full reconstruction provides better long-term value than repeated patch work.
We evaluate every parking lot honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes spending a bit more upfront for complete reconstruction saves money over 10-15 years compared to ongoing repair costs on failing pavement.
Yes, we provide complete parking lot striping services including layout design, ADA-compliant handicap spaces, directional arrows, and custom markings. Proper striping maximizes your parking capacity while ensuring safety and compliance.
We use high-quality traffic paint designed for durability in harsh weather conditions. Standard white and yellow striping typically lasts 2-3 years before requiring touch-up, depending on traffic volume and snow removal practices.
For new installations, striping is typically completed 2-3 weeks after asphalt placement to allow proper curing. We can also re-stripe existing lots that are structurally sound but need fresh markings for better organization and appearance.
We provide a comprehensive warranty covering workmanship defects and material failures. Specific warranty terms depend on project scope, but typically include 2 years on workmanship and material defects under normal use conditions.
Our warranty covers issues like premature cracking due to improper installation, base failure from inadequate preparation, or asphalt defects from material problems. Normal wear from traffic and weather is expected and not covered, but structural failures due to our work are fully addressed.
We stand behind our work because we use proven methods and quality materials. Most issues that arise in the first few years are due to shortcuts during installation—something we don’t do. When problems do occur, we respond quickly to protect both your investment and our reputation.
