You’re tired of watching your driveway crack and crumble every winter. You’ve seen the potholes that damage your car and make your property look neglected.
Here’s what changes when we handle your asphalt paving project. Your driveway becomes a smooth, durable surface that actually handles New Britain’s freeze-thaw cycles without falling apart. The deep black finish makes your home look well-maintained and increases your property value.
No more avoiding certain spots when you pull in. No more water pooling that turns into bigger problems. Just a professionally installed driveway that works the way it should for 15-20 years.
We’ve been solving driveway problems since 1948. That’s three generations of learning exactly what works in Pennsylvania’s challenging climate and what doesn’t.
We’re not the company that rushes through five jobs in one day. We focus on one project at a time, treating your property like it’s our own. Every client gets the same attention whether you’re paving a small residential driveway or a large commercial parking lot.
Our approach is simple: do the work right, communicate clearly, and build relationships that last. That’s why we have five-star reviews and why customers call us back years later for maintenance and new projects.
First, we assess your property and explain exactly what needs to happen. We look at drainage, base preparation, and any existing issues that could cause problems later.
Next comes the foundation work. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the most important part. We properly prepare the base, ensure correct grading for water runoff, and use quality materials that can handle heavy loads.
Then we install the asphalt using proven techniques and professional equipment. We don’t rush this step because getting the compaction and finish right determines how your driveway performs for decades. After completion, we clean up completely and give you clear instructions for curing and maintenance.

We handle everything from residential driveways to complex commercial paving projects. Our services include new installation, resurfacing, crack sealing, and sealcoating.
For New Britain properties, we understand the specific challenges. The area’s clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles require proper base preparation and drainage solutions. We also know which materials perform best in this climate.
Commercial clients get the same attention to detail as residential customers. We work around your business schedule and complete projects efficiently without compromising quality. Whether it’s a small parking lot or a large industrial facility, we have the equipment and expertise to handle it right.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in New Britain should last 15-20 years with regular maintenance. The key is proper installation from the start.
New Britain’s weather puts extra stress on asphalt with freeze-thaw cycles that can destroy poorly installed driveways in just a few years. That’s why the base preparation and drainage are so critical here. We make sure water moves away from your driveway instead of sitting and causing damage.
Regular maintenance like sealcoating every 2-3 years can actually double your driveway’s lifespan. This simple step costs a fraction of replacement and protects against water penetration, UV damage, and oil stains.
Poor drainage and inadequate base preparation cause most driveway failures in this area. New Britain’s clay soil and winter weather create perfect conditions for problems if the work isn’t done right.
Water is the biggest enemy of asphalt. When it gets under the surface through cracks, it freezes and expands, making small problems into major failures. Many contractors skip proper base preparation or don’t address drainage issues, leading to premature failure.
The other common issue is using inferior materials or rushing the installation process. Proper compaction and allowing adequate curing time are essential, especially with our temperature variations. We take the time to do each step correctly because fixing it later costs much more than doing it right initially.
Driveway paving costs vary based on size, current condition, and access, but investing in quality work upfront saves thousands in repairs and early replacement.
Most residential driveways in New Britain range from basic overlay projects to complete reconstruction with new base work. The condition of your existing surface and drainage issues affect the scope of work needed.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what’s included. There are no surprises or hidden costs. Many homeowners find that spending a bit more for proper installation and quality materials saves $3,000-$5,000 in emergency repairs and premature replacement costs over the driveway’s lifetime.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving, with temperatures between 50-75°F being ideal for proper installation and curing.
We avoid paving when temperatures are below 50°F or when rain is expected within 24 hours. Asphalt needs proper temperature conditions to compact correctly and cure properly. Cold weather installation often leads to premature failure.
Fall is actually an excellent time for paving projects. The weather is stable, and completing work before winter gives your new asphalt time to cure before facing freeze-thaw cycles. We recommend avoiding peak summer heat when possible, as extremely hot conditions can also affect installation quality.
Yes, we handle everything from residential driveways to large commercial parking lots and industrial paving projects. Our approach remains the same regardless of project size: quality work and personal attention.
For residential projects, we focus on enhancing your property’s appearance and value while solving drainage and access issues. We work around your schedule and keep disruption to a minimum.
Commercial clients appreciate our ability to work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. We understand that your business operations matter, so we plan projects to minimize impact on your customers and employees. Whether it’s a small office parking lot or a large industrial facility, we have the equipment and expertise to complete the work properly.
Regular maintenance is simple but essential for maximizing your driveway’s lifespan. The most important step is sealcoating every 2-3 years to protect against water, UV damage, and oil stains.
Keep your driveway clean and address small cracks immediately before they become major problems. Small cracks can be sealed easily and inexpensively, but if water gets in and freezes, you’re looking at much more expensive repairs.
We provide clear maintenance guidelines with every installation and offer ongoing maintenance services. Regular attention to your driveway doubles its lifespan and saves thousands in replacement costs. It’s much more cost-effective to maintain what you have than to replace it prematurely.
