Hear From Our Clients
You’ll pull into a smooth, professionally paved driveway that makes your neighbors wonder who you hired. No more cracked surfaces that collect water and ice. No more embarrassing explanations to guests about “planning to fix that soon.”
Your property value jumps immediately while your daily frustration disappears completely. You get the satisfaction of choosing quality over cheap shortcuts, backed by someone who’s been perfecting this craft for over 25 years in your exact area.
Best part? You deal directly with the owner who actually shows up, does what he promises, and stands behind every square foot of asphalt we lay.
We’ve been the go-to paving contractor for Waterford residents and businesses since 1999. We’re not trying to be the biggest company in the Capital Region—we’re focused on being the most reliable.
When you call, the owner answers. When work starts, the owner’s managing every detail on-site. When questions arise, you get straight answers from someone whose reputation depends on your satisfaction.
We’ve survived and thrived for over two decades by doing exactly what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it, for the price we quoted. In a town where everyone knows everyone, that’s the only way to stay in business.
First, we personally assess your project and explain your options in plain English. No junior crews guessing at measurements. The owner evaluates your site, discusses what you actually need, and provides a clear, written estimate with zero hidden surprises.
Next, we prepare your surface the right way. Proper excavation when needed, correct base stone depth, and attention to drainage that prevents future problems. Most paving failures start with rushed prep work. We’ve never rushed a job in 25+ years.
Finally, we install professional-grade asphalt using proven techniques and proper equipment. We compact correctly, finish cleanly, and don’t consider any job complete until you’re completely satisfied with both the process and results.

You get comprehensive paving services specifically designed for Waterford’s challenging climate conditions. Our asphalt mixes and installation techniques account for the Capital Region’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior work within just a few seasons.
We serve residential driveways throughout Waterford’s historic neighborhoods and commercial parking lots from the village center to the industrial areas along the Hudson River. Every project receives identical attention to detail, quality materials, and professional installation standards.
Our year-round availability means emergency repairs get handled promptly, even in winter. While seasonal contractors disappear after October, we shift to excavation and foundation work, maintaining full emergency response capability when urgent paving issues arise.
Properly installed asphalt should easily last 15-20 years in Waterford with basic maintenance, and often much longer with regular care. The difference between 10-year asphalt and 20-year asphalt isn’t the material—it’s the installation quality.
Waterford’s freeze-thaw cycles destroy poorly installed asphalt quickly. We prevent this by excavating to proper depth, installing adequate base stone, ensuring correct drainage, and using appropriate asphalt thickness for your specific application. Most premature failures trace back to shortcuts during these critical steps.
Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair can extend quality asphalt to 25+ years. But longevity starts with proper installation, which is why we never compromise on preparation work regardless of project size or budget constraints.
Commercial paving requires significantly more structural support due to heavier loads and constant traffic. While residential driveways typically need 2-3 inches of asphalt over 6-8 inches of base stone, commercial lots often require 4+ inches of asphalt over 12+ inches of engineered base.
Commercial projects also involve ADA compliance, proper drainage for larger surface areas, and often specific material requirements for heavy truck traffic. The planning phase takes longer because we’re calculating load requirements, traffic patterns, and long-term performance under demanding conditions.
We handle both residential and commercial work regularly, so we understand exactly what each application demands. The techniques and materials vary significantly, but our commitment to proper preparation and professional installation remains identical regardless of project scale.
We maintain emergency response capability throughout winter, even when conditions prevent full asphalt installation. Emergency repairs typically involve cold-mix asphalt patching to address safety hazards and prevent further damage until permanent repairs become possible.
Our winter emergency approach depends on specific conditions and urgency. For immediate safety concerns like dangerous potholes or significant surface failures, we can perform temporary repairs in most weather conditions. These patches provide reliable temporary solutions that hold well until spring permanent repairs.
Unlike seasonal contractors who shut down completely, we shift to excavation and foundation work during winter months. This keeps our crews active and available for emergency calls while maintaining the equipment and expertise needed for urgent paving situations.
Professional driveway paving in Waterford typically ranges from $4-8 per square foot, depending on current conditions, size, and specific requirements. Larger driveways cost less per square foot due to efficiency gains, while smaller projects carry higher per-unit costs due to setup requirements.
The biggest cost variables involve excavation needs and base preparation requirements. Driveways requiring complete removal and reconstruction cost significantly more than overlay situations where existing pavement provides adequate foundation. We always inspect thoroughly and explain exactly what your specific situation requires.
Our estimates are detailed, written, and include all costs upfront. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no pressure tactics. You’ll understand exactly what you’re investing in and why each component is necessary for long-term performance and satisfaction.
Most residential driveways in Waterford take 1-2 days to complete properly. Day one typically involves excavation, base preparation, and final grading. Day two involves asphalt installation, compaction, and finishing work. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time.
Weather significantly affects project timing and quality. We never install asphalt during rain or when temperatures drop below optimal ranges for proper compaction. It’s better to wait for ideal conditions than rush work that won’t perform properly long-term.
We schedule projects carefully and communicate timing clearly from initial contact. You’ll know exactly when we’re starting, what to expect each day, and when your new surface will be ready for use. Most driveways handle light traffic within 24 hours and full use within 48-72 hours.
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive warranties that reflect our confidence in proper installation techniques and quality materials. Warranty terms vary by project scope and application, but we always guarantee our workmanship and address any issues resulting from installation defects.
Our warranties cover workmanship defects, premature failures due to installation problems, and material issues within specified timeframes. Normal wear from regular use, extreme weather damage, or ground movement beyond installation control aren’t covered, but we’re always transparent about what causes specific problems.
The best warranty is work done correctly from the beginning. That’s why we focus on proper site preparation, quality materials, and proven installation techniques. Most warranty situations involve minor issues we’re happy to address quickly to maintain our reputation for reliable, professional work.
