When your asphalt is installed correctly, you’re looking at decades of reliable service instead of constant repairs. You get smooth surfaces that handle daily traffic without cracking, proper drainage that prevents water damage, and a finished look that actually enhances your property value.
The difference shows up immediately. No more worrying about potholes forming after the first winter. No more watching your investment deteriorate because corners were cut during installation.
You get asphalt that performs the way it should—protecting your property while looking professional year after year.
We’ve been serving Readington property owners since our family entered the paving industry in 1948. That’s not just experience—it’s a proven track record of understanding what works in New Jersey’s climate and soil conditions.
We’ve seen every type of paving challenge this area can present. From residential driveways that need to handle freeze-thaw cycles to commercial parking lots requiring heavy-duty construction, we know what it takes to build asphalt that lasts.
Our approach is straightforward: one job at a time, full crew attention, and treating every client like our most important client. You’re not getting rushed work or corner-cutting. You’re getting the same careful attention whether it’s a small driveway repair or a complex commercial project.
First, we assess your specific site conditions—drainage patterns, soil stability, and traffic requirements. This isn’t a cookie-cutter approach. Every property in Readington has unique characteristics that affect how the asphalt should be installed.
Next comes proper preparation. We handle grading, base installation, and any necessary water management solutions. This foundation work determines whether your asphalt lasts 20+ years or starts failing after a few seasons.
Then we install the asphalt using professional-grade materials and proven techniques. Our crew stays focused on your project until it’s completed to our standards. You get clear communication throughout the process, so you always know what’s happening and when.
The final step is a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets both your expectations and our quality standards. You’re not dealing with surprises or callbacks—just professional results that perform as promised.

Our services cover the full spectrum of asphalt needs in Readington. Residential driveways get the same attention to detail as major commercial parking lots. We handle new installation, resurfacing, repairs, and specialized applications like water management systems.
For Readington homeowners, this means custom driveway solutions that complement your property while handling our area’s weather conditions. We understand local soil types, drainage requirements, and the specific challenges that come with our climate patterns.
Commercial properties get industrial-strength solutions designed for heavy traffic and long-term durability. From small business parking areas to large-scale industrial sites, we have the equipment and expertise to handle projects that other contractors can’t manage.
Special services include grading, water management, and complex drainage solutions. These aren’t add-ons—they’re integrated parts of creating asphalt installations that actually work in Readington’s specific conditions.
Properly installed asphalt in Readington should last 20-25 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques that account for our local freeze-thaw cycles.
Many driveways and parking lots in our area fail prematurely because contractors skip essential steps like proper drainage or adequate base thickness. When the foundation is right and the asphalt is installed correctly, you’re looking at decades of reliable service.
We’ve seen well-constructed asphalt from the 1980s still performing well today, while poorly installed surfaces start cracking and deteriorating within 2-3 years. The difference comes down to doing the job right the first time.
Commercial paving requires thicker asphalt layers and stronger base construction to handle heavy traffic loads. While residential driveways typically need 2-3 inches of asphalt over a 6-8 inch aggregate base, commercial lots often require 4-6 inches of asphalt with more robust foundation work.
The installation process is also more complex for commercial projects. We need to coordinate with business operations, handle larger equipment, and often work in phases to minimize disruption. Commercial paving also requires more sophisticated drainage systems and precise grading.
For Readington businesses, this means your parking lot gets engineered specifically for your traffic patterns and load requirements. It’s not just thicker asphalt—it’s a complete system designed to handle commercial use while maintaining a professional appearance.
Drainage is critical in Readington because our area gets significant rainfall and experiences freeze-thaw cycles that can destroy poorly drained asphalt. We start every project by analyzing water flow patterns and identifying potential problem areas.
Our solutions include proper grading to direct water away from structures, installation of catch basins or drainage systems where needed, and creating surface slopes that prevent water accumulation. For complex sites, we may install subsurface drainage or modify existing drainage systems.
The goal is ensuring water moves away from your asphalt quickly and efficiently. Standing water is one of the fastest ways to damage asphalt surfaces, especially during winter when freeze-thaw cycles can create extensive cracking and structural damage.
Most residential driveways in Readington take 1-2 days to complete, while commercial projects vary based on size and complexity. We start with site preparation, which includes removing old surfaces if necessary, grading, and installing the aggregate base.
You’ll see our crew arrive with proper equipment and materials. We work systematically—no rushing or cutting corners. During installation, we maintain clear communication about progress and any issues that arise. Your property is protected, and we clean up thoroughly when finished.
After installation, new asphalt needs time to cure properly. We provide specific instructions about when you can drive on it and what to expect during the first few weeks. Most surfaces can handle light traffic within 24-48 hours but reach full strength over several months.
Yes, we provide comprehensive maintenance services including crack sealing, sealcoating, patching, and resurfacing. Regular maintenance is essential for maximizing your asphalt’s lifespan in Readington’s climate conditions.
Crack sealing prevents water infiltration that leads to more serious damage. Sealcoating protects against oxidation and weather damage while refreshing the surface appearance. For more extensive damage, we offer patching and overlay services that restore structural integrity.
We recommend having asphalt professionally inspected every 3-5 years to identify maintenance needs before they become major problems. Preventive maintenance costs a fraction of what you’d spend on complete replacement, and it keeps your surfaces looking and performing like new.
Look for contractors with established local reputation, proper licensing and insurance, and a track record of quality work in the Readington area. Ask to see recent projects and speak with local references who can verify the quality of completed work.
Avoid contractors who show up unsolicited with leftover materials or pressure you for immediate decisions. Legitimate contractors provide written estimates, explain their process clearly, and give you time to make informed decisions. They should also understand local conditions and regulations.
The cheapest bid is rarely the best value. Focus on contractors who demonstrate expertise in proper installation techniques, use quality materials, and stand behind their work with solid warranties. A properly installed driveway or parking lot is an investment that pays dividends for decades.
