Hear From Our Clients
Your parking lot is the first thing customers see when they visit your business. A professionally paved surface creates an immediate impression of quality and attention to detail that reflects your brand values.
When drainage works properly and the surface stays smooth, you eliminate liability concerns and costly emergency repairs. Your customers can focus on your business instead of dodging potholes or navigating puddles.
Quality asphalt paving with the right base preparation means decades of reliable service. You get a surface that handles daily traffic, seasonal weather changes, and the demands of your operation without constant maintenance headaches.
We’ve served the Starbuckville area for over 25 years with straightforward, honest paving services. As an owner-operated business, you work directly with the decision-maker from your first call through project completion.
We focus on long-term client relationships rather than one-time sales. This approach means transparent pricing, quality materials, and work that’s done right the first time. No gimmicks, no surprises—just reliable paving that stands the test of time.
Local businesses and property owners choose us because we understand the region’s specific challenges. From seasonal weather patterns to soil conditions, our experience shows in every project.
Every quality parking lot starts with proper site assessment and preparation. We evaluate the existing surface, identify drainage needs, and plan any necessary grading work. This foundation work determines how long your pavement will last.
Base preparation follows strict standards with 8-12 inches of properly compacted gravel. This isn’t where corners get cut—the base layer carries the load and prevents settling that causes premature cracking and potholes.
Asphalt installation uses quality materials applied at the right temperature and thickness for your specific traffic needs. The surface is properly sloped for drainage, compacted to specification, and finished with clean edges. Line striping and final details complete the project once the asphalt has properly cured.

We handle every aspect of commercial parking lot paving, from initial excavation through final striping. Our service includes proper drainage design, ADA-compliant layouts, and materials selected for your specific traffic patterns and usage requirements.
Starbuckville businesses benefit from a contractor who understands local conditions and regulations. The region’s freeze-thaw cycles demand specific asphalt mixes and base preparations that prevent seasonal damage. Proper drainage design accounts for local rainfall patterns and soil conditions.
Our emergency response capability means urgent repairs get handled quickly when weather or unexpected damage threatens your business operations. Our seasonal approach allows for optimal paving conditions in warmer months while providing excavation and foundation services during winter months when asphalt work isn’t practical.
Commercial parking lot paving in Starbuckville typically ranges from $2 to $4.50 per square foot for quality asphalt installation, depending on site conditions, drainage requirements, and traffic specifications. A 10,000 square foot lot generally costs between $20,000 and $45,000 including proper base preparation.
The final cost depends on factors like existing pavement removal, grading work, drainage improvements, and the thickness of asphalt needed for your specific use. Heavy truck traffic or challenging soil conditions require thicker pavement sections and more extensive base work.
We provide transparent estimates that break down all costs upfront. You’ll know exactly what’s included in the price, from excavation through final striping, with no hidden fees or surprise charges that appear later in the project.
Asphalt overlay involves placing new asphalt over existing pavement that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. This works when the base is solid and drainage functions properly. Overlay typically costs less and takes less time than full replacement.
Full replacement removes all existing asphalt and addresses underlying issues like poor drainage, failed base materials, or structural problems. This approach is necessary when you see widespread cracking, recurring potholes, or water pooling that indicates base failure.
The right choice depends on your pavement’s current condition and long-term goals. We evaluate each situation honestly—sometimes overlay makes sense, but trying to overlay over structural problems just wastes money and leads to premature failure.
Most commercial parking lot paving projects in Starbuckville take 3-7 days depending on size, weather conditions, and scope of work. Smaller lots or simple overlays can often be completed in 1-2 days, while larger projects with extensive base work take longer.
Weather plays a significant role in scheduling. Asphalt installation requires dry conditions and temperatures above 50 degrees for proper curing. Rain delays are common, but we plan for weather windows and communicate schedule changes clearly.
The project timeline includes base preparation, asphalt installation, curing time, and final details like striping. We coordinate the work to minimize business disruption, often scheduling around your operational needs and peak customer hours.
The most common cause of premature parking lot failure is inadequate base preparation. Contractors who skip proper excavation and base compaction create surfaces that settle, crack, and develop potholes within just a few years instead of lasting 20-30 years with proper construction.
Drainage problems cause the second most failures. Water that pools on the surface or penetrates to the subgrade weakens the entire pavement structure. Poor drainage turns minor surface issues into major structural problems that require complete reconstruction.
Using inferior materials or incorrect asphalt thickness for the traffic load also shortens pavement life. Quality construction uses the right materials for local conditions, proper compaction techniques, and adequate thickness to handle the expected traffic without premature wear.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt paving in the Starbuckville area. Temperatures need to stay consistently above 50 degrees for proper asphalt curing, and dry weather is essential for quality installation.
Summer months offer the most predictable weather windows, but spring and fall can work well when weather cooperates. Winter paving isn’t recommended due to temperature requirements and the risk of freeze damage to fresh asphalt.
Planning ahead allows you to schedule during optimal conditions rather than waiting for emergency repairs during poor weather. We help customers plan paving projects during the best seasonal windows while offering winter excavation and foundation work when paving isn’t practical.
Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete, making it the preferred choice for most Starbuckville parking lots. Asphalt typically runs $2-4.50 per square foot compared to $4-7 for concrete, and repairs are simpler and less expensive.
Concrete lasts longer overall but requires higher initial investment and can crack from winter weather conditions common in New York. The rigid surface doesn’t flex with temperature changes like asphalt, leading to more visible cracking in harsh climates.
For most commercial applications, properly installed asphalt provides the best value. It handles local weather conditions well, costs less to maintain, and can be easily repaired or resurfaced when needed. The choice often comes down to budget, expected traffic, and long-term maintenance preferences.
