You get a driveway that actually drains properly instead of pooling water near your garage. No more cracking after the first winter because we use proper base preparation and quality materials that handle New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Your property value increases with professional-grade asphalt that looks like an extension of the road, not a patch job. Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing the work is done right with our transparent process and honest communication every step of the way.
The result is a driveway you’re proud to pull into, one that your neighbors notice and that holds up year after year without constant repairs or headaches.
We bring three generations of paving expertise to East Windsor, with roots in the industry dating back to 1948. We understand what works in Central New Jersey’s climate and what doesn’t.
Unlike contractors who rush between multiple jobs, we focus on one project at a time. That means your driveway gets our crew’s complete attention, not divided focus. Our approach is straightforward: treat every client like our most important client, find custom solutions for your property’s unique needs, and keep you informed throughout the entire process.
We’ve earned five-star reviews on Angie’s List by doing exactly what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it. East Windsor homeowners choose us because we combine old-school craftsmanship with modern expertise, and we stand behind every square foot we pave.
First, we assess your current driveway condition and drainage situation. Many East Windsor properties have specific grading challenges, and we identify these upfront rather than discovering problems mid-project.
Next, we remove old asphalt if needed and prepare a proper foundation. This isn’t where you want corners cut – the base determines how well your driveway handles our winters. We grade for proper water flow away from your house and install drainage solutions where necessary.
Then we pave with quality asphalt at the right thickness for your specific use. We don’t just dump and roll – we ensure proper compaction and finishing. After paving, we clean up completely and walk you through maintenance recommendations to protect your investment.
Throughout the process, we keep you updated on progress and timing. No surprises, no showing up unannounced, no leaving you wondering what’s happening next.

Your driveway paving includes complete removal of existing surfaces when needed, proper excavation and grading, installation of drainage solutions, and professional-grade asphalt installation with appropriate thickness for your traffic needs.
We handle all the details East Windsor homeowners care about: protecting your landscaping during construction, ensuring proper water management to prevent basement flooding, and matching the grade to your garage and street connections seamlessly.
For East Windsor’s specific climate challenges, we use asphalt mixes designed for New Jersey’s temperature swings. This means better performance through our harsh winters and hot summers compared to generic mixes some contractors use.
Additional services include sealcoating recommendations, crack repair, and ongoing maintenance guidance. We also offer senior discounts, military discounts, and first-time customer incentives because we believe quality paving should be accessible to everyone in our community.
Driveway paving in East Windsor typically costs $8-$12 per square foot for complete asphalt installation, including excavation and proper foundation work. A standard two-car driveway (20×40 feet) usually runs $6,400-$9,600 depending on current conditions and drainage needs.
Several factors affect your final cost: whether we need to remove existing concrete or asphalt, the extent of grading required, drainage solutions needed, and your driveway’s accessibility. East Windsor’s clay soil and drainage challenges sometimes require additional base preparation, which we identify during our free estimate.
We provide transparent, written estimates with no hidden costs. Unlike contractors who give low estimates then add charges, we include everything upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Most East Windsor driveway projects take 2-3 days from start to finish, weather permitting. Day one typically involves removal of old surfaces and excavation. Day two focuses on base preparation and grading. Day three is asphalt installation and finishing.
Weather plays a big role in timing – we don’t pave in rain or when temperatures are too cold for proper asphalt curing. During peak season (spring through fall), we schedule projects in advance to ensure quality timing rather than rushing to fit everything in.
We give you specific timing expectations during our estimate and keep you updated if weather or other factors affect the schedule. Our one-project-at-a-time approach means when we’re at your property, we’re focused entirely on getting your job done right.
Asphalt performs much better in East Windsor’s freeze-thaw climate than concrete. When water freezes in concrete cracks, it expands and causes significant damage that’s expensive to repair properly. Asphalt flexes with temperature changes, making it more durable through our winters.
Maintenance is also simpler with asphalt. Small cracks can be sealed easily and blend invisibly. Concrete repairs are obvious and often require replacing entire sections. Salt used for ice removal can pit and stain concrete, while asphalt handles road salt without permanent damage.
Cost-wise, asphalt installation runs about half the price of concrete, and the long-term maintenance costs are lower too. For East Windsor homeowners, asphalt offers the best combination of performance, appearance, and value.
East Windsor requires permits for most driveway work, especially if you’re changing the size, location, or drainage patterns. The permit process ensures proper setbacks from property lines and compliance with stormwater management requirements.
We handle all permit applications for our customers as part of our service. This includes preparing the necessary drawings, submitting applications to the township, and coordinating inspections. We’re familiar with East Windsor’s specific requirements and have established relationships with the building department.
Permit costs typically range from $50-$200 depending on project scope. While it adds time to the project timeline, proper permits protect you from future issues and ensure your work meets local codes. We never recommend skipping permits – it’s not worth the risk to your property or resale value.
Drainage is critical in East Windsor due to our clay soil and frequent heavy rains. We start every project by evaluating how water currently flows and where problems might develop. Many properties need specific grading adjustments or drainage solutions to prevent water from pooling near foundations.
Common solutions include installing French drains along driveway edges, adjusting the grade to direct water toward appropriate outlets, and sometimes adding catch basins for properties with severe drainage challenges. We also ensure proper crown in the driveway surface so water sheds to the sides rather than pooling.
Our experience with East Windsor’s specific soil conditions and drainage patterns means we can identify potential problems before they become expensive headaches. We include drainage solutions in our initial estimates rather than treating them as costly add-ons discovered mid-project.
The ideal time for driveway paving in East Windsor is late spring through early fall when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F during the day and night. Asphalt needs proper curing temperatures to achieve maximum durability and longevity.
We typically see the best results from May through October, though exact timing depends on weather patterns. Early fall can be excellent because temperatures are moderate and there’s less chance of rain delays. Spring installation gives you a full season to enjoy your new driveway before winter.
Winter installation is possible during mild periods, but we’re selective about timing to ensure quality results. We’d rather wait for proper conditions than rush a project and compromise the final product. Our scheduling approach prioritizes quality over speed, which means better long-term performance for your investment.
