Islip Terrace Asphalt Contractors

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling asphalt projects across Long Island for years. We understand the soil conditions here in Islip Terrace and how our freeze-thaw cycles affect different installation methods.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. Quality asphalt work requires proper materials, the right equipment, and taking time to do the prep work that determines whether your surface lasts two years or twenty.

You’ll work with contractors who show up when scheduled, explain what we’re doing and why, and leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Asphalt Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your existing surface and drainage situation. Most asphalt failures start with water issues or inadequate base preparation, so we identify potential problems before they become expensive ones.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where corners get cut by other contractors, but it’s the foundation of everything. We remove old material, grade for proper drainage, and compact the base to specifications that work for Long Island soil conditions.

Then we install the asphalt in lifts, compacting each layer properly and paying attention to edges and transitions. The surface gets sealed and marked clearly so you know exactly when it’s safe to use. Most driveways are ready for light traffic within 24 hours, full use within a few days.

Asphalt Repair and Installation

Complete Asphalt Services for Any Project

We handle everything from small driveway repairs to complete commercial parking lot installations. Crack sealing, pothole repair, overlay work, and full reconstruction when that’s what the situation requires.

For residential projects, that means driveways, walkways, and small parking areas. We understand the permitting requirements in Islip Terrace and handle the details that homeowners shouldn’t have to figure out themselves.

Commercial work includes parking lots, loading areas, and access roads. We schedule around your business operations and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your customers and operations. Every project gets the same attention to proper drainage, base preparation, and quality materials regardless of size.

How long does asphalt paving take to complete?

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and whether we’re doing repairs or complete replacement. The actual paving happens quickly, but proper base preparation takes time and can’t be rushed. Commercial projects vary widely based on size and complexity, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it. Weather can affect scheduling, especially if we get rain during base preparation, but we’ll keep you informed about any delays and why they’re necessary for quality results.

What's the difference between overlay and complete replacement?

Overlay means putting new asphalt over your existing surface, which works when the base is solid and drainage is adequate. It’s less expensive but only as good as what’s underneath. Complete replacement involves removing old asphalt, fixing base and drainage issues, and starting fresh. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the approach that makes sense long-term. Sometimes spending more upfront for replacement saves money over time compared to overlaying a surface that’s going to keep having problems.

How do I know if my asphalt needs repair or replacement?

Small cracks and minor surface wear can usually be repaired cost-effectively. But if you’re seeing widespread cracking, potholes, drainage problems, or areas where the asphalt is breaking apart, replacement often makes more sense. The key indicators are whether problems are surface-level or structural. If water is getting underneath and causing base failure, repairs become temporary fixes that don’t address the real issue. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what you’re dealing with and explain the pros and cons of each approach.

Why do some asphalt jobs fail after just a few years?

It almost always comes down to shortcuts in base preparation or using inadequate materials for the conditions. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on asphalt, so proper drainage and base compaction are critical. Some contractors skip steps to keep prices low, but water infiltration and base failure will show up within a few seasons. We see this constantly when customers call us to fix work that other companies did recently. Quality materials cost more, and proper installation takes time, but the difference in longevity is dramatic.

What should I expect to pay for asphalt paving?

Costs vary significantly based on site conditions, access, base work required, and project size. Simple overlay projects cost less than complete replacement with extensive base work. We provide detailed written estimates that break down what you’re paying for, so you understand exactly where your money is going. Be wary of quotes that seem too good to be true or don’t specify materials and methods. Quality asphalt work is an investment, but done right, it should last decades with minimal maintenance.

When is the best time of year for asphalt work?

Late spring through early fall gives us the most consistent weather conditions for quality installation. Asphalt needs warm temperatures for proper compaction and curing. We can work in cooler weather, but there are more variables to manage. Summer is our busiest season, so scheduling earlier in spring or later in fall sometimes offers more flexibility. Emergency repairs can be done almost year-round, but planned installations work best when we’re not fighting weather conditions that affect material performance.
