You get a smooth, durable surface that handles New Jersey winters without cracking or settling. Your driveway or parking lot looks professional from day one and stays that way for years.
We focus on one project at a time, so you’re not competing with three other jobs for attention. That means better preparation, cleaner installation, and results you can actually count on.
The difference shows immediately. Neighbors notice. Property value increases. And you stop worrying about potholes, drainage issues, or having to redo the work in two years because corners were cut the first time.
We combine family tradition dating back to 1948 with modern paving expertise. We’ve been serving Milford and surrounding New Jersey communities for decades, building our reputation one driveway and parking lot at a time.
Our approach is straightforward: treat every client like our most important client, communicate clearly throughout the project, and deliver custom solutions that fit your property’s specific needs. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional—you’re investing in quality materials, experienced installation, and long-term durability.
The owner personally oversees every job site to ensure our standards are met. We’ve earned five-star reviews on Angie’s List and industry recognition because we do what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it.
First, we assess your property and discuss your specific needs during a free consultation. We explain exactly what your project requires, from grading and drainage considerations to material choices that make sense for your situation.
Next, we prepare the site properly—removing old asphalt if needed, addressing drainage issues, and ensuring a solid foundation. This step determines how long your new surface will last, so we don’t rush it.
Then comes installation using quality materials and proven techniques. We handle everything from residential driveways to complex commercial projects, adjusting our approach based on your property’s unique requirements. You get regular updates throughout the process, and we don’t consider the job finished until you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Our services cover everything from simple driveway installation to complex commercial parking lots and industrial paving projects. We handle water management, grading, asphalt repair, and maintenance to keep your surfaces in top condition.
Milford’s weather patterns demand quality materials and proper installation techniques. We understand how freeze-thaw cycles affect asphalt and plan accordingly. That means better drainage, appropriate thickness for your specific use, and materials that hold up to New Jersey’s temperature swings.
We also offer specialized discounts for seniors, military personnel, and first-time customers because we believe quality paving should be accessible. Whether you need a residential driveway, commercial parking lot, or industrial surface, we customize our approach to deliver results that match your timeline and budget.
Properly installed asphalt in New Jersey typically lasts 15-20 years with regular maintenance. The key factors are quality materials, proper thickness for your specific use, and correct installation techniques that account for our climate.
New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on asphalt, so proper drainage and adequate thickness are crucial. We install asphalt at the right depth for your traffic load and ensure water drains away from the surface to prevent premature cracking and settling.
Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years extends the life significantly by protecting against UV damage and water penetration. With proper care, many of our installations exceed the 20-year mark while maintaining their appearance and functionality.
An overlay involves placing new asphalt over existing pavement, while complete replacement means removing the old surface and starting fresh. The right choice depends on your current pavement’s condition and your long-term goals.
Overlay works when your existing base is solid but the surface is worn or cracked. It’s more cost-effective and faster, typically lasting 10-15 years. However, if your base has drainage issues, significant settling, or structural problems, overlay just postpones bigger problems.
Complete replacement costs more upfront but addresses underlying issues like poor drainage or inadequate base preparation. We assess your specific situation during our consultation and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your property and budget.
Proper drainage is critical for long-lasting asphalt, especially in New Jersey where water damage causes most premature failures. We evaluate drainage patterns during our initial assessment and address problems before paving begins.
This might involve adjusting grades to direct water away from structures, installing drainage systems, or modifying the base preparation to improve water flow. We also ensure the asphalt surface itself has appropriate slope to prevent water pooling.
Many paving problems stem from contractors who ignore drainage issues to keep costs low. We include necessary drainage work in our initial proposal so there are no surprises, and you get a surface that performs properly from the start.
The process typically takes 1-3 days depending on project size and complexity. We start with site preparation, which includes removing old asphalt if needed and ensuring proper grading and compaction of the base material.
Installation day involves laying the asphalt in lifts, compacting each layer properly, and finishing edges and transitions. We work efficiently but don’t rush critical steps like compaction, which determines long-term durability.
You’ll need to keep vehicles off the new surface for 24-48 hours while it cures. We provide specific care instructions and timeline for your project. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your routine while ensuring the work is done right.
Asphalt thickness depends on your expected traffic load and soil conditions. Residential driveways typically need 2-3 inches over a proper base, while commercial parking lots require 3-4 inches or more.
Heavier traffic, poor soil conditions, or areas with delivery trucks need thicker asphalt to prevent premature cracking and rutting. We evaluate your specific situation including soil type, drainage, and intended use to recommend appropriate thickness.
Going too thin to save money usually costs more long-term through repairs and early replacement. We explain the trade-offs clearly so you can make an informed decision based on your priorities and budget.
New asphalt should be sealcoated 6-12 months after installation, then every 2-3 years thereafter. This protects against UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills that can deteriorate the surface.
Regular cleaning removes debris that can cause staining or damage. Address small cracks promptly before they allow water penetration and expand. Keep heavy vehicles in designated areas and avoid sharp turns that can scuff the surface.
We provide specific maintenance guidelines for your installation and can handle sealcoating and repairs as needed. Proper maintenance is the most cost-effective way to protect your paving investment and extend its useful life.
