You’re not looking for the cheapest option that’ll crack in two years. You want a driveway or parking lot that actually lasts, looks professional, and handles New Jersey’s brutal winters without falling apart.
That’s exactly what you get here. Proper drainage that prevents water damage. Thick, quality asphalt that won’t develop potholes after the first freeze-thaw cycle. And a surface that still looks sharp years down the road.
No surprises during the project. No hidden costs after we start. Just straightforward work done right the first time, so you can focus on everything else that matters.
We’ve been handling asphalt projects in this area since 1948. That’s not just experience—that’s three generations of learning what works in New Jersey’s climate and what doesn’t.
You’re not getting a crew that’s here today, gone tomorrow. We live and work in this community, which means our reputation depends on every single project we complete.
When we take on your job, you get our full attention. One project at a time, with clear communication throughout the entire process, because that’s how quality work actually gets done.
First, we assess your property’s specific needs—drainage patterns, soil conditions, expected traffic load. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation, and we don’t treat it like one.
Next comes proper site preparation. That means excavation to the right depth, installing a solid base that won’t shift or settle, and ensuring water flows away from your property instead of pooling on your new surface.
Then we install the asphalt at the correct thickness for your specific situation. Not too thin to save money, not unnecessarily thick to inflate costs. Just right for the job at hand, properly compacted while it’s at optimal temperature.

Whether you need a residential driveway, commercial parking lot, or industrial paving project, we handle it all with the same attention to detail and quality standards.
White House Station properties face unique challenges—from the historic area’s drainage considerations to the mix of residential and commercial needs throughout Hunterdon County. We understand these local conditions and plan accordingly.
You get comprehensive service that includes proper grading, water management solutions, and long-term maintenance planning. Plus specialized discounts for seniors, military, and first-time customers, because we believe quality work should be accessible to everyone in our community.
Asphalt paving costs in our area typically range from $8-$12 per square foot for quality installation, including proper excavation and base work. The exact price depends on your specific project—size, current conditions, drainage requirements, and access challenges.
A standard residential driveway usually runs between $5,500-$12,000, while commercial projects vary significantly based on traffic load requirements and site complexity. We provide detailed, written estimates that break down every aspect of your project, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The key is getting proper thickness and preparation work. Cheaper options that skip base preparation or use inadequate asphalt thickness end up costing more when they fail prematurely and need complete replacement.
Quality asphalt work starts with proper site preparation—excavating to the right depth, installing a compacted stone base, and ensuring proper drainage. Cheap contractors skip these steps, paving directly over existing surfaces or using inadequate base materials.
We use the correct asphalt thickness for your specific application. Residential driveways need at least 3 inches over a proper base, while commercial applications require more. Cheap work uses thin layers that crack and fail within a few years.
Quality installation also means applying asphalt at the right temperature and compacting it properly while it’s workable. This creates a dense, durable surface that handles freeze-thaw cycles and heavy loads. Rushed or improper installation creates loose aggregate that ravels apart quickly.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete—one day for excavation and base preparation, another for asphalt installation. Commercial projects vary based on size and complexity, typically requiring 2-5 days depending on the scope.
Weather plays a crucial role in timing. We won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too cold, because proper compaction requires specific conditions. This might delay your project by a day or two, but it ensures the finished product lasts decades instead of failing prematurely.
We focus on one project at a time, which means when we start your job, you get our full crew and attention until completion. No jumping between multiple sites or leaving your property half-finished while we handle other work.
Most residential driveway projects don’t require permits in White House Station, but commercial work and projects that affect drainage or right-of-way areas often do. We handle all permit requirements as part of our service, so you don’t need to navigate municipal offices yourself.
For projects that do require permits, we submit all necessary paperwork and ensure the work meets local building codes and regulations. This includes proper drainage planning, setback requirements, and accessibility compliance where applicable.
We also coordinate with utility companies when necessary to mark underground lines before excavation. This protects existing infrastructure and prevents costly delays or damage during your project.
Never hire door-to-door contractors or anyone offering “leftover asphalt” deals. Legitimate contractors don’t work this way. Always get detailed written estimates before any work begins, and never pay the full amount upfront.
Check the contractor’s local business address, license, and insurance. Scammers use fake contact information and disappear after collecting payment. Look for established businesses with verifiable local references and Better Business Bureau ratings.
Be wary of prices that seem too good to be true—they usually are. Quality asphalt work requires proper materials, equipment, and skilled labor. Extremely low bids often indicate corners will be cut, resulting in failed pavement that needs complete replacement within a few years.
New asphalt should be sealcoated 6-12 months after installation, then every 2-3 years thereafter. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure break down asphalt over time, and sealcoating provides essential protection against water infiltration and surface deterioration.
Crack sealing is crucial for preventing small issues from becoming major problems. Even hairline cracks allow water penetration, which leads to base failure and potholes during freeze-thaw cycles. Address cracks promptly to extend your pavement’s lifespan significantly.
Regular cleaning and prompt removal of oil stains also help maintain your asphalt’s appearance and integrity. While asphalt is durable, consistent care ensures you get the full 20-25 year lifespan from a quality installation instead of needing premature replacement.
