You need asphalt work that won’t crack, settle, or fail in two years. That means proper preparation, quality materials, and contractors who actually know what they’re doing.
When your driveway or parking lot is done right, you stop worrying about it. No more standing water after rain. No more explaining to visitors why they need to avoid certain spots. No more getting quotes for repairs that should never have been necessary.
You get a surface that handles New Jersey weather, looks professional, and adds value to your property. Your neighbors notice. Your customers notice. Most importantly, you can focus on everything else because this part of your property maintenance is handled.
We’ve been handling paving projects since 1948. That’s 75+ years of figuring out what works in New Jersey’s climate and what doesn’t.
We’re the contractors who show up when we say we will, do exactly what we quoted, and treat your property like it matters. Whether you need a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot, you get the same level of attention and craftsmanship.
Readington property owners choose us because we’ve built our reputation on doing things right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises, no excuses. Just solid asphalt work that lasts.
First, we assess your property and discuss your specific needs. Every site is different, and cookie-cutter approaches lead to problems later. We measure, evaluate drainage, and explain what your project requires.
Next comes preparation – the part that separates lasting asphalt from the kind that fails. We handle grading, base preparation, and any drainage issues before the first load of asphalt arrives. This foundation work determines how long your surface will last.
Finally, we install your asphalt using proper techniques and quality materials. We work systematically, pay attention to details like edges and transitions, and don’t rush the process. When we’re finished, you get a surface that’s ready to handle years of use.
Ready to get started?
Your paving project covers everything from initial site preparation to final cleanup. We handle excavation, grading, base installation, proper drainage solutions, and asphalt application using commercial-grade equipment.
Readington’s soil conditions and weather patterns require specific approaches to ensure lasting results. We account for freeze-thaw cycles, proper drainage for your property’s slope, and the right asphalt mix for your intended use.
You also get transparent communication throughout the process, cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it, and honest answers to your questions. No technical jargon, no hidden steps, no surprise charges.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and site conditions. Commercial projects vary based on square footage and complexity, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Weather affects scheduling – we won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too low. This protects your investment since asphalt needs proper conditions to cure correctly.
We focus on one project at a time, so when we’re scheduled for your job, our full crew and attention are dedicated to getting it done right.
Quality asphalt work starts with proper base preparation – excavating to the right depth, installing and compacting a solid foundation, and addressing drainage issues. Cheap work skips these steps.
We use commercial-grade asphalt mix appropriate for your specific use, whether that’s residential driveways or heavy commercial traffic. Lower-quality contractors often use thinner applications or inferior materials.
The difference shows up in longevity. Properly installed asphalt lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. Poor installation starts showing problems within 2-3 years, costing you more in the long run.
If you’re seeing widespread cracking, significant settling, or drainage problems, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. Surface cracks and small potholes can often be repaired effectively.
Age matters too. If your asphalt is over 15 years old and showing multiple issues, replacement gives you a fresh start with modern materials and techniques.
We’ll assess your current surface honestly and explain your options. Sometimes repair work buys you several more years. Other times, replacement is the smarter financial choice.
Residential driveways typically range from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and preparation needed. Commercial projects vary based on traffic requirements and site complexity.
Factors affecting cost include excavation depth, base material requirements, drainage solutions, and access to your property. We provide detailed written estimates that break down these components.
Beware of quotes that seem too good to be true – they usually are. Quality asphalt work requires proper materials and techniques, which cost money upfront but save you from expensive repairs later.
You can typically walk on new asphalt within 24 hours and drive regular passenger vehicles after 2-3 days. Heavy vehicles should wait at least a week.
Hot weather extends curing time, while cooler temperatures allow faster use. We’ll give you specific guidance based on weather conditions and your asphalt thickness.
Avoid turning your steering wheel while stationary on new asphalt for the first few weeks – this can leave marks. The surface continues to harden over the first year, reaching full strength gradually.
Most residential driveway projects in Readington don’t require permits, but we’ll verify requirements for your specific situation. Commercial projects and work affecting drainage or right-of-way areas typically need permits.
We handle permit applications when required and coordinate any necessary inspections. This ensures your project meets local codes and protects you from potential issues later.
We’re familiar with Readington’s requirements and work regularly with local officials. This experience helps avoid delays and ensures your project proceeds smoothly from start to finish.
