You pull into a smooth driveway that doesn’t jar your teeth loose. Your neighbors stop staring at those embarrassing cracks. Your property value jumps because curb appeal actually matters in Richlandtown’s competitive housing market.
The difference shows immediately. No more water pooling where it shouldn’t. No more wondering if your car will scrape bottom on that one bad spot. Just clean lines, proper drainage, and asphalt that can handle Pennsylvania’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles.
Your investment pays off every single day. While other homeowners patch and re-patch their failing driveways, you’re done worrying about it for the next twenty years.
We’ve been solving paving problems since 1948. That’s before your grandfather worried about his driveway. Three generations of Richlandtown property owners have trusted us because we do what we say we’ll do.
We’re the paving contractor that treats your $5,000 driveway project like it’s our $50,000 commercial job. Same attention to detail. Same quality materials. Same commitment to getting it right the first time.
In Richlandtown’s tight-knit community where everyone knows everyone, reputation is everything. Our five-star reviews on Angie’s List didn’t happen by accident. They happened because we show up when we say we will, finish when we promise, and stand behind our work.
First, we evaluate your existing surface and drainage situation. No guesswork. We measure, test the base, and identify any problems that could sabotage your new asphalt. If your foundation isn’t solid, your driveway won’t be either.
Next comes proper site preparation. We grade for correct water flow because Richlandtown’s weather patterns demand it. Remove the old material if necessary. Compact the base until it’s rock-solid. This step separates professional contractors from the guys who show up with a truck and good intentions.
Then we install your new asphalt using the right thickness for your specific traffic load. Our crew focuses on one job at a time, so you get our full attention. We compact properly, finish the edges clean, and make sure the surface slopes exactly where water needs to go.
You wait 24-48 hours before driving on it. That’s it. No months of wondering if it’ll hold up. No crossing your fingers during the first winter. Just a driveway that works.

Your driveway paving project includes proper base preparation, quality asphalt installation, and correct compaction. We handle grading, water management, and edge finishing. No hidden extras. No surprise charges for “unforeseen circumstances” that any experienced contractor should anticipate.
For Richlandtown’s mix of traditional homes and newer developments, we adjust our approach accordingly. Victorian-era properties often need different drainage solutions than the suburban developments near Quakertown. We know the local soil conditions, typical foundation issues, and what works long-term in this area.
Commercial paving gets the same thorough approach. Parking lots, access roads, and industrial surfaces that need to handle heavy traffic. We design the thickness and base requirements for your specific use case, not some generic specification that might fail under your actual conditions.
Driveway paving in Richlandtown typically runs $4,000 to $8,000 for most residential projects, depending on size and site conditions. That includes proper base preparation, quality asphalt, and professional installation.
The wide range reflects real-world variables. A straightforward 600-square-foot driveway with good drainage runs toward the lower end. Complex sites with drainage issues, steep grades, or foundation problems cost more because they require more work to do correctly.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for. No vague “paving services” line items. You’ll know the cost for materials, site prep, installation, and any additional work your specific property requires.
Properly installed asphalt driveways last 20-30 years in Pennsylvania’s climate when maintained correctly. The key word is “properly.” Shortcuts during installation can cut that lifespan in half.
The longevity depends on three critical factors: correct base preparation, appropriate asphalt thickness for your traffic load, and proper compaction during installation. Skip any of these steps and you’ll be repaving much sooner than you planned.
Regular maintenance extends the life significantly. Sealcoating every 3-4 years protects against water infiltration and UV damage. Prompt crack repair prevents small problems from becoming expensive failures. Most homeowners who follow basic maintenance get the full expected lifespan from their investment.
Late spring through early fall provides ideal paving conditions in Pennsylvania. We typically schedule most residential work between April and October when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F and rain is less frequent.
Summer offers the most flexibility for scheduling, but don’t wait too long. Fall scheduling fills up quickly as property owners rush to complete projects before winter. Spring can be tricky due to ground conditions from freeze-thaw cycles, but it’s often the most cost-effective time.
Emergency repairs happen year-round, but planned installations work best when weather cooperates. We’ll advise you on timing based on your specific project requirements and current weather patterns.
Yes, we handle both residential driveways and commercial paving projects throughout Richlandtown and surrounding areas. Parking lots, access roads, and industrial surfaces require different specifications than residential work, and we design each project accordingly.
Commercial projects demand thicker asphalt, more robust base preparation, and careful attention to traffic flow patterns. We work with business owners to minimize disruption during installation, often scheduling work during off-hours or in phases to keep operations running.
Our commercial clients include everything from small office buildings to larger industrial facilities. Each project gets the same thorough approach: proper site evaluation, appropriate materials for the expected traffic load, and installation that meets or exceeds industry standards for commercial applications.
We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. If problems develop due to installation issues, we return to make it right at no additional cost to you.
Most paving problems stem from poor base preparation or inadequate compaction during installation. When we do the job correctly from the start, these issues simply don’t occur. But if something does go wrong on our end, we fix it promptly and completely.
Normal wear and maintenance issues aren’t covered, but we’ll explain exactly what to expect and how to maintain your new surface for maximum longevity. We want your driveway to perform well for decades, not just until the warranty expires.
If damage covers more than 25% of your driveway surface, or if you have widespread alligator cracking, full replacement usually makes more financial sense than patching. Isolated cracks and small potholes can often be repaired effectively.
The decision depends on the underlying cause of the damage. Surface-level problems from normal wear might only need repairs. But if the base has failed or drainage issues have caused structural damage, patching becomes a temporary band-aid that won’t solve the real problem.
We evaluate every situation honestly and recommend the most cost-effective long-term solution. Sometimes that’s strategic repairs. Sometimes it’s complete replacement. We’ll explain exactly what we find and why we recommend a particular approach for your specific situation.
