Our five-star reviews on Angie’s List come from treating every client like our most important client, whether you’re paving a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot.

Once we schedule your project, we handle all the prep work: proper excavation, grading for drainage, and base preparation. This foundation work determines how long your pavement lasts, so we don’t rush it.
The paving itself happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine. We clean up completely and walk through the finished work with you, making sure everything meets our standards and yours.

Whether you need a residential driveway, commercial parking lot, or industrial paving project, we handle the full scope. Excavation, grading, water management, base preparation, and final paving using quality materials designed for Pennsylvania’s climate.
Trumbauersville properties often deal with drainage challenges due to the area’s terrain and weather patterns. We factor in proper slope, drainage solutions, and base preparation to prevent water damage and extend pavement life. No shortcuts that cause problems later.
You also get specialized pricing for seniors, military members, and first-time customers because we believe in supporting our local community, not just extracting profit from it.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and prep work needed. Day one typically involves excavation, grading, and base preparation. Day two is paving and final cleanup.
Weather affects timing since we can’t pave in rain or when temperatures drop below certain thresholds. We’ll give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if weather delays the schedule.
You can usually drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles or placing dumpsters on the surface.
Quality paving starts with proper excavation and base preparation, which cheap contractors often skip to save time. Without adequate base work, your pavement will crack and settle within a few years, requiring expensive repairs or complete replacement.
We use appropriate asphalt thickness for your specific use case. Residential driveways need different specs than commercial parking lots that handle truck traffic. Cheap contractors use the same thin layer for everything.
Quality work also includes proper drainage planning and edge sealing. Water is asphalt’s biggest enemy, so we design slopes and drainage to move water away from your pavement, not let it pool and cause damage.
Residential driveway paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot, depending on prep work required, thickness needed, and site accessibility. A standard 12×50 foot driveway usually falls between $2,000-4,500 including all prep work.
Factors that affect cost include excavation depth needed, drainage solutions, base material requirements, and any obstacles like mature trees or tight access. We provide detailed estimates that break down each component so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
We offer senior, military, and first-time customer discounts because we’d rather build long-term relationships than maximize profit on every job. Quality work at fair pricing builds the reputation we want in Trumbauersville.
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of your existing surface. If the current pavement is structurally sound with minor cracks, an overlay can work well and costs less than complete replacement.
However, if you have significant settling, large cracks, or drainage problems, overlaying just masks the issues temporarily. The underlying problems will eventually show through the new asphalt, wasting your money.
We’ll assess your existing surface honestly and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term value. Sometimes spending more upfront for proper removal and replacement saves money over the next decade.
New asphalt needs minimal maintenance for the first few years if installed properly. Avoid heavy loads for the first week, and be careful with sharp turns from cars until the surface fully cures.
Sealcoating every 3-4 years helps protect against weather damage and extends pavement life. Small cracks should be filled promptly to prevent water infiltration and larger problems.
Regular cleaning removes debris that can stain or damage the surface. Oil stains should be cleaned quickly since petroleum products can soften asphalt. Simple maintenance protects your investment and keeps your pavement looking professional.
Yes, we handle commercial parking lots, industrial paving, and larger residential projects. Commercial work requires different specifications than residential driveways due to heavier traffic loads and different drainage requirements.
We design commercial projects to handle the specific traffic your business sees, whether that’s customer cars, delivery trucks, or heavy equipment. Proper thickness, base preparation, and drainage planning prevent premature failure and costly repairs.
Commercial projects also require coordination to minimize business disruption. We work with you to schedule paving during slower periods and complete work efficiently so your customers and operations aren’t affected longer than necessary.
