Your property looks better immediately. No more cracked, uneven surfaces that make visitors question your attention to detail. No more water pooling in low spots that turns into ice patches come winter.
When we handle your paving project, you get surfaces that drain properly, look professional, and hold up under Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles. Your driveway becomes an asset, not an ongoing headache.
The difference shows up in how smooth your car rides over it, how easy snow removal becomes, and how much longer you go between needing repairs. That’s what happens when the job gets done right the first time.
We’ve been paving East Rockhill properties since 1948, combining old-school craftsmanship with modern equipment and techniques.
We treat every job—from a residential driveway to a commercial parking lot—with the same level of care. We work on one project at a time, so you’re not competing for attention or watching quality slip because we’re rushing to the next job.
East Rockhill property owners choose us because our work lasts. Our five-star reviews on Angie’s List reflect what happens when you prioritize long-term results over quick turnarounds.
First, we evaluate your property’s drainage, existing base, and specific needs. We don’t just show up and start paving—every project gets a proper assessment to determine the right approach.
Next comes site preparation. This means proper grading, ensuring adequate drainage, and preparing a solid base that can handle East Rockhill’s weather patterns. Shortcuts here cause problems later, so this step gets done thoroughly.
The paving itself uses quality asphalt mixed to specifications that work in Pennsylvania’s climate. We monitor temperature, timing, and compaction to ensure proper bonding and durability. You get clear updates throughout the process, so you know exactly what’s happening and when it’ll be finished.

Every project we complete includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and professional installation. You also get transparent communication throughout the process—no surprises about timeline changes or additional costs.
Our service extends beyond just laying asphalt. We handle grading, drainage solutions, and any necessary repairs to existing surfaces. For East Rockhill’s commercial properties, this includes ADA compliance considerations and proper traffic flow design.
You receive specialized discounts if you’re a senior, military member, or first-time customer. We stand behind every project with clear warranties and ongoing support. When issues arise—which they rarely do—you get prompt response and professional resolution.
Properly installed asphalt paving typically lasts 20-30 years in Pennsylvania’s climate when maintained correctly. East Rockhill’s freeze-thaw cycles can be tough on pavement, but quality installation with proper base preparation and drainage significantly extends lifespan.
The key factors are using the right asphalt mix for local conditions, ensuring adequate thickness, and proper compaction during installation. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair help maximize durability. Properties that skip proper installation to save money upfront usually need major repairs or replacement within 10-15 years.
Asphalt overlay involves placing new asphalt over existing pavement, while full replacement means removing the old surface and starting fresh. Overlay works when your existing base is solid but the surface is worn or has minor cracking.
Full replacement becomes necessary when the base has failed, there’s extensive cracking, or drainage problems exist. In East Rockhill, properties with significant settling or water damage typically need full replacement. Overlay costs less initially but won’t solve underlying structural problems.
The decision depends on your current pavement’s condition, budget, and long-term goals. A proper assessment reveals which approach gives you the best value and longest-lasting results for your specific situation.
Proper drainage is critical for asphalt longevity in Pennsylvania’s wet climate. The process starts with evaluating existing drainage patterns and identifying problem areas where water pools or flows incorrectly.
Solutions include adjusting grade to direct water away from structures, installing drainage systems where needed, and ensuring proper crown and slope in the finished pavement. For East Rockhill properties with challenging topography, this might involve more extensive grading or drainage infrastructure.
Water that sits on or under asphalt causes premature failure through freeze-thaw damage and base erosion. Addressing drainage during installation prevents expensive problems later and significantly extends your pavement’s lifespan.
Professional paving installation typically takes 1-3 days depending on project size and complexity. Day one usually involves site preparation, including any necessary excavation, grading, and base work.
Asphalt installation happens when weather conditions are optimal—typically when temperatures are above 50°F and no rain is forecast. We coordinate delivery timing carefully since asphalt must be placed while hot. You’ll need to keep vehicles off the new surface for 24-48 hours.
Throughout the process, you receive updates about progress and any timing changes. We protect landscaping and clean up thoroughly when finished. Final inspection ensures proper compaction, smooth transitions, and correct drainage before considering the job complete.
Paving costs vary significantly based on project size, site conditions, and specific requirements. Residential driveways typically range from $3-7 per square foot, while commercial projects may cost $2-5 per square foot due to economies of scale.
Factors affecting price include excavation needs, base preparation requirements, drainage solutions, and access challenges. East Rockhill properties with steep grades or poor existing conditions require more preparation work, increasing costs but ensuring better long-term results.
The lowest bid isn’t always the best value. Quality installation with proper materials and techniques costs more upfront but saves money over time through reduced maintenance and longer lifespan. Get detailed written estimates that specify materials, preparation work, and warranties for accurate comparison.
Optimal paving season in Pennsylvania runs from late spring through early fall when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. Late spring and early summer often provide the best conditions with stable weather and moderate temperatures.
Scheduling during peak season (summer) may mean longer wait times but ensures ideal installation conditions. Fall installation works well but requires careful weather monitoring to avoid temperature drops that affect asphalt quality.
Emergency repairs can be done year-round using specialized techniques, but major installations should wait for proper weather. Planning ahead and booking early in the season gives you more flexibility in scheduling and often better pricing than last-minute projects.
