A properly installed driveway does more than look good. It handles Pennsylvania winters without cracking, drains water away from your foundation, and gives you decades of reliable use without constant repairs.
You won’t deal with contractors who disappear mid-project or surprise you with hidden costs. No more worrying about whether the work will hold up through another harsh winter.
When the job’s done right the first time, you get peace of mind and a driveway that actually protects your property investment instead of becoming a recurring headache.
We’ve been serving Pennsylvania property owners since 1948. That’s 75 years of learning what works and what fails in our climate—knowledge you can’t get from YouTube videos or weekend warriors.
We focus on one job at a time. While other paving contractors juggle multiple projects and spread their crews thin, our team gives your driveway complete attention from start to finish.
Milford property owners choose us because we treat every project with the same care—whether it’s a small residential driveway or a large commercial parking lot. Our five-star reviews on Angie’s List reflect this one-client-at-a-time approach.
First, we assess your property’s specific drainage needs and soil conditions. Every Milford property faces different challenges, and cookie-cutter approaches lead to expensive problems down the road.
Next, we handle proper grading and base preparation. This foundation work determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25 years. Most contractors rush this step—we don’t skip it.
Finally, we install the asphalt using proper compaction techniques and temperature controls. You’ll know exactly when we’re coming, how long each phase takes, and when you can safely use your new driveway.

Your driveway paving includes complete site preparation, proper grading for water management, and quality asphalt installation designed for Pennsylvania’s climate. We handle permits and ensure everything meets Milford’s local requirements.
Our area’s freeze-thaw cycles demand specific installation techniques that many contractors ignore. We use the right asphalt mix for our climate and apply it at optimal temperatures for long-term durability—not just quick completion.
You also get transparent communication throughout the project. No surprises about timeline changes, no hidden fees appearing on final invoices, and no wondering when we’ll actually show up to finish the work.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and existing conditions. Day one covers excavation, grading, and base preparation. Day two handles asphalt installation and final grading.
Weather affects timing significantly—we won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees. Pennsylvania’s unpredictable climate requires patience for quality results that won’t fail prematurely.
You can typically drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours, though we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles or making sharp turns that could damage the surface.
Asphalt handles Pennsylvania’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles much better than concrete. It’s more flexible, so it moves with ground shifts without developing the spider-web cracks that plague concrete driveways within just a few years.
Asphalt also costs significantly less upfront and is much easier to repair when damage does occur. Road salt from winter treatments is gentler on asphalt surfaces compared to concrete, which can pit and deteriorate quickly.
Maintenance is simpler and cheaper too—asphalt can be seal-coated every few years to extend its life dramatically, while concrete repairs usually require expensive section replacement that never matches the original.
Residential driveway paving typically ranges from $3-7 per square foot in our area, depending on site conditions, required thickness, and access challenges. A standard two-car driveway runs between $2,400-$5,600 installed.
Several factors affect final cost: excavation needs, drainage requirements, base material depth, and existing surface removal. Properties with poor drainage or soft soil need more extensive preparation work to prevent future settling.
We provide detailed written estimates with every cost broken down clearly—no hidden fees or surprise charges. Senior, military, and first-time customers receive special discounts on their paving projects.
Late spring through early fall offers ideal conditions for asphalt installation. We need consistent temperatures above 50 degrees and dry conditions for proper curing that ensures long-term durability.
Summer provides the absolute best results—warm temperatures help asphalt compact properly and cure to full strength. However, we can work effectively from April through October in most years, weather permitting.
Never attempt winter installations. Cold temperatures prevent proper compaction, and moisture can completely compromise the bond between asphalt layers. Smart property owners plan ahead and schedule for spring installation.
Most residential driveway replacements don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and maintaining current drainage patterns. However, new driveways or those changing the footprint typically need borough approval first.
Commercial paving projects and driveways connecting directly to state roads have different requirements and stricter oversight. We handle all permit research and applications as part of our comprehensive service.
Milford has specific drainage and setback requirements that vary by neighborhood. We ensure your project meets all local codes before breaking ground, preventing costly corrections and delays later in the process.
Seal-coat your driveway every 2-3 years to protect against water penetration and UV damage. This simple maintenance step can easily double your pavement’s usable lifespan at minimal cost.
Address small cracks immediately—Pennsylvania’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles turn minor issues into major structural problems incredibly quickly. Small crack repairs cost pennies compared to section replacement.
Avoid sharp turns with heavy vehicles during the first year while the asphalt fully cures to maximum strength. Keep the surface clean and remove oil stains promptly to prevent permanent staining and surface deterioration.
