You get a surface that handles New Jersey weather without cracking under pressure. Your driveway or parking lot drains properly instead of pooling water that seeps into foundations and creates expensive problems later.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind. When paving is done right from the start, you’re not dealing with potholes next spring or calling contractors to patch up shoddy work. You’re investing in a solution that actually lasts.
The difference shows up in your property value, your maintenance costs, and your daily life. No more avoiding certain spots in your driveway or apologizing to customers about your parking lot’s condition.
We’ve been serving Alexandria and Hunterdon County since our roots began in 1948. We understand this area’s unique challenges—from the rolling terrain that requires proper grading to the freeze-thaw cycles that test every surface.

Alexandria’s location in Hunterdon County presents specific challenges—from soil conditions to weather patterns. Our local expertise means we account for these factors in every project, ensuring your pavement performs well through New Jersey’s demanding climate conditions.
We also offer specialized services like sealcoating, crack repair, and water management solutions. These aren’t just add-ons—they’re essential components of a comprehensive paving strategy that protects your investment long-term.
Properly installed asphalt paving in Alexandria typically lasts 20-30 years with appropriate maintenance. The key factors are quality installation, proper drainage, and regular sealcoating every 2-3 years.
New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles can be particularly challenging for pavement, which is why proper base preparation and drainage are crucial. When these fundamentals are handled correctly during installation, your pavement can withstand decades of seasonal temperature changes without significant deterioration.
Regular maintenance like crack sealing and sealcoating extends this lifespan significantly. Many of our Alexandria clients see their driveways and parking lots performing well beyond the 25-year mark because they invested in quality installation and stayed proactive with maintenance.
The difference shows up in the preparation work you can’t see and the materials you can’t easily verify. Cheap contractors often skip proper excavation, use inadequate base materials, or apply asphalt too thin to handle local traffic and weather conditions.
Professional paving includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques that ensure long-term performance. We excavate to appropriate depths, install properly compacted base materials, and apply asphalt at the correct thickness for your specific application.
The real difference becomes apparent over time. Cheap paving typically requires repairs within 2-3 years, while professional installation provides decades of reliable service. When you factor in the cost of premature repairs and replacement, professional paving is actually the more economical choice.
Drainage is the foundation of every successful paving project in Alexandria. We start by evaluating your property’s natural water flow patterns and identifying potential problem areas before any work begins.
Our approach includes proper grading to direct water away from structures, installing adequate drainage systems where needed, and ensuring the pavement surface promotes water runoff rather than pooling. This is particularly important in Hunterdon County’s rolling terrain.
Poor drainage is the leading cause of premature pavement failure. Water that sits on or under asphalt eventually causes cracking, settling, and costly repairs. By addressing drainage properly during installation, we prevent these problems from developing and ensure your pavement performs as intended for decades.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that reflect our confidence in quality installation. Our warranties cover both materials and workmanship, giving you protection against defects and installation issues.
The specific warranty terms depend on your project type and scope, but we always provide clear documentation of what’s covered and for how long. We believe in transparent communication about warranties—no fine print or exclusions that leave you wondering about coverage.
Most importantly, we’re a local Alexandria contractor with deep roots in the community. We’ll be here to honor our warranties and maintain the relationships we’ve built. When issues arise, you’re dealing with people who live and work in your community, not a distant corporate entity.
Spring through fall typically provides the best conditions for paving in Alexandria, with late spring and early fall being optimal. We need consistent temperatures above 50 degrees and dry conditions for proper asphalt installation and curing.
New Jersey’s weather patterns mean we have a relatively narrow window for ideal paving conditions. However, we can work in less-than-perfect conditions when necessary, adjusting our techniques and materials to ensure quality results.
Planning ahead is key to getting your project completed during optimal weather. We recommend scheduling consultations in early spring for summer projects, as the best contractors fill their schedules quickly during peak paving season. Emergency repairs can be handled year-round with appropriate techniques and materials.
The decision depends on the extent of damage and the age of your existing pavement. Minor cracks and surface wear can often be addressed with repairs and sealcoating, while extensive cracking, settling, or drainage issues typically require replacement.
We evaluate several factors: the percentage of surface area affected, the depth and pattern of cracks, drainage performance, and the pavement’s age. If more than 30% of your pavement shows significant distress, replacement is usually more cost-effective than extensive repairs.
During our assessment, we provide honest recommendations based on your pavement’s condition and your long-term goals. Sometimes strategic repairs can extend pavement life by several years, while other situations call for complete replacement to avoid ongoing maintenance costs and safety concerns.
