Your driveway becomes an asset, not a headache. No more dealing with cracks that let water seep through and damage your foundation. No more patchy repairs that look terrible after six months.
You get a smooth, durable surface that handles New Jersey winters without crumbling. Your property value goes up. Your neighbors notice the difference.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing it was done right the first time by people who’ve been doing this since 1948.
We’ve been serving Milford and surrounding New Jersey communities since 1948. Three generations of expertise, but we’re not stuck in the past.
We work on one project at a time. That means when we’re at your property, you get our full attention. No rushing off to another job halfway through yours.
Our approach is straightforward: treat every client like they’re our most important client, communicate clearly about what we’re doing and why, and deliver work that lasts. The five-star reviews on Angie’s List back that up.
First, we assess your property and discuss exactly what you need. No generic solutions – every driveway has different requirements based on soil conditions, drainage, and how you use the space.
Next comes preparation. We handle grading, ensure proper drainage, and create a solid foundation. This step determines how long your driveway will last, so we don’t rush it.
Then we install your asphalt using proven techniques and quality materials. We monitor temperature, thickness, and compaction to meet industry standards. Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished work with you.

Every driveway paving project includes site preparation, proper grading for drainage, quality asphalt installation, and complete cleanup. We handle permits when needed and coordinate with local Milford, NJ requirements.
Milford’s climate means your driveway needs to handle freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and summer heat. We account for these conditions in our material selection and installation process.
You also get transparent communication throughout the project. No surprises, no hidden costs, and clear timelines you can count on. Plus, we offer specialized discounts for seniors, military members, and first-time customers.
Most residential driveways take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and site conditions. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers asphalt installation and initial compaction.
Weather plays a role – we won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too low. Milford’s weather can be unpredictable, so we build flexibility into our scheduling.
You can usually drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles or making sharp turns on the surface.
Asphalt costs less upfront and handles New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs – you can patch asphalt seamlessly, while concrete repairs often leave visible marks.
Concrete lasts longer in ideal conditions but cracks more easily when the ground shifts. In Milford, NJ’s climate, asphalt typically gives you better value over time.
Asphalt also looks more uniform and professional. When properly installed and maintained, an asphalt driveway can last 15-20 years with periodic sealcoating every 3-5 years.
Residential driveway paving typically ranges from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, access, and preparation requirements. A standard two-car driveway averages $2,500-$5,000.
Factors that affect cost include excavation depth needed, drainage requirements, and whether we’re replacing an existing surface or starting fresh. Properties with poor drainage or significant grading needs cost more.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs. No surprises, no hidden fees. We also offer discounts for seniors, military members, and first-time customers.
Most driveway replacements in existing locations don’t require permits in Milford, NJ. However, if you’re expanding your driveway, changing drainage patterns, or connecting to a public road, permits may be necessary.
We handle permit applications when needed and ensure all work meets local codes. Milford has specific requirements for drainage and setbacks that we’re familiar with.
Before starting any project, we verify permit requirements with the township. This prevents delays and ensures your project stays on schedule without compliance issues.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt installation in New Jersey. We need temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions for optimal results.
Summer can be ideal, but extremely hot days (over 90°F) can make the asphalt too soft during installation. Early fall often provides perfect conditions – warm days, cool nights, and less chance of rain delays.
We don’t recommend winter installation unless absolutely necessary. Cold weather affects how well the asphalt compacts and bonds, potentially reducing the lifespan of your driveway.
Keep your driveway clean and address oil stains quickly – petroleum products can soften asphalt over time. Avoid using sharp tools for snow removal; plastic shovels work better than metal ones.
Sealcoating every 3-5 years protects against weather damage and extends your driveway’s life. We can handle this maintenance or recommend trusted local contractors.
Watch for small cracks and have them filled promptly. Water infiltration through cracks leads to bigger problems, especially during Milford, NJ’s freeze-thaw cycles. Early repairs save money compared to major reconstruction later.
