We’ve been serving West Amwell and surrounding areas since 1948. Our company combines family tradition with modern paving techniques, handling everything from residential driveways to complex commercial projects.
What sets us apart is our approach: every client gets treated like the most important client. Whether you’re paving a small driveway or a large parking lot, you get the same attention to detail and transparent communication.
We understand West Amwell’s unique challenges – from soil conditions to local weather patterns. This local knowledge means better preparation, proper drainage solutions, and paving that’s built for the area’s specific demands.
First, we assess your property and discuss your specific needs. You get a clear explanation of what’s required, realistic timelines, and upfront pricing with no hidden costs.
Next, we prepare the site properly – proper grading, drainage considerations, and base preparation that many contractors skip. This foundation work is what separates paving that lasts from paving that fails.
Then we install your asphalt using quality materials and proven techniques. You get regular updates throughout the process, so you always know what’s happening and when to expect completion. The job isn’t finished until you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Properly installed asphalt in New Jersey typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance, and up to 25-30 years with regular sealcoating and crack repair. The key factors are proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques that account for our freeze-thaw cycles.
Many homeowners see premature failure because contractors skip crucial steps like proper drainage and base compaction. When the foundation isn’t right, even the best asphalt will crack and settle within a few years. That’s why we focus heavily on site preparation – it’s the difference between a driveway that lasts decades versus one that needs replacement in five years.
Commercial paving requires thicker asphalt layers and more robust base preparation to handle heavier traffic loads and frequent use. Residential driveways typically use 2-3 inches of asphalt, while commercial parking lots often need 4-6 inches depending on expected traffic.
The installation process also differs in timing and logistics. Commercial projects require coordination with business operations to minimize disruption, often working in phases or during off-hours. Residential work is typically more straightforward but still requires attention to drainage, especially around West Amwell where soil conditions can vary significantly from property to property.
Both require the same attention to quality materials and proper installation techniques, but commercial projects have stricter specifications and often need to meet specific municipal or insurance requirements.
Residential driveway paving in West Amwell typically ranges from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, access, and preparation requirements. A standard two-car driveway usually costs between $2,500-6,000, but prices vary based on specific circumstances.
Commercial projects are priced differently due to larger scale and specific requirements, typically ranging from $2-5 per square foot for parking lots. Factors that affect cost include site accessibility, drainage needs, base preparation requirements, and project timing.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. The estimate includes all necessary preparation work, materials, and cleanup. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start, and the final cost won’t change unless you request additional work.
Look for contractors with local experience, proper licensing and insurance, and a track record of completed projects in your area. Ask to see recent work and speak with past customers – reputable contractors will gladly provide references.
Avoid contractors who go door-to-door or pressure you to sign immediately. Quality paving companies don’t need high-pressure tactics. Also be wary of unusually low bids – they often indicate shortcuts in materials or preparation that will cost you more in the long run.
The best contractors provide detailed written estimates, explain their process clearly, and focus on building long-term relationships rather than quick sales. They should be able to discuss local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and why their approach is right for your specific property.
In New Jersey, the ideal paving season runs from late spring through early fall, typically May through October. Asphalt needs warm temperatures for proper installation and curing – both air temperature and ground temperature should be above 50 degrees.
Summer months offer the most consistent conditions, but spring and fall can be excellent times for paving with proper planning. Winter installation is generally not recommended due to temperature constraints and potential weather delays.
However, the “best” time also depends on your schedule and project urgency. We can work with you to find optimal timing that balances weather conditions with your needs. Planning ahead allows for better scheduling and often better pricing than emergency situations.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty terms depend on the project type and scope, but we typically provide 2-3 years on workmanship and pass through manufacturer warranties on materials.
Our warranty covers defects in installation, premature cracking due to improper technique, and settling caused by inadequate base preparation. Normal wear from traffic and weather isn’t covered, but properly installed asphalt should handle typical use without issues for many years.
More importantly, we focus on doing the job right the first time rather than relying on warranty work. Our reputation depends on installations that last, so we take the time to prepare sites properly and use quality materials that perform long-term.
