We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling asphalt projects across Long Island for years. We understand exactly what works in this climate and what doesn’t.

Most asphalt problems come from shortcuts during installation or using materials that can’t handle our weather. We use commercial-grade materials on every job and follow proper installation procedures.

Our team lives and works in this area. We see our completed projects regularly, which means we have every reason to do the job right the first time.

Asphalt Installation Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we evaluate your current surface and drainage situation. Many asphalt failures start with poor drainage or inadequate base preparation, so we address these issues upfront.

Next, we prepare the base properly. This means excavating to the right depth, installing proper stone base, and ensuring everything is compacted correctly. This foundation work determines how long your asphalt will last.

Finally, we install the asphalt using commercial-grade materials and professional equipment. We handle the timing, temperature, and compaction to ensure a smooth, durable surface that will perform for years.

Asphalt Repair and Maintenance

Complete Asphalt Solutions

We handle everything from small driveway repairs to large commercial parking lots. Whether you need crack sealing, pothole repair, or complete resurfacing, we have the equipment and experience to handle it properly.

For Wading River properties, we often see damage from water infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles. Our repair approach addresses the root cause, not just the visible symptoms. This means your repairs actually last instead of failing again next winter.

We also provide sealcoating services to extend the life of existing asphalt. Proper timing and application of sealcoating can add years to your pavement’s lifespan and keep it looking professional.

How long does new asphalt last in Long Island weather?

Properly installed asphalt typically lasts 15-20 years in Long Island’s climate when maintained correctly. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate thickness, and good drainage. Many asphalt failures we see are actually from shortcuts during installation rather than normal wear. With proper sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair, your asphalt investment should perform well for decades. The harsh freeze-thaw cycles here require quality materials and professional installation to achieve this longevity.

What's the difference between asphalt repair and replacement?

Repair works when you have isolated problems like small cracks or minor potholes, but the overall structure is sound. We can patch these areas and seal cracks to prevent water infiltration. Replacement becomes necessary when the base has failed, there’s extensive cracking, or the surface has multiple layers of patches. A good rule of thumb is that if more than 30% of your asphalt needs repair, replacement is usually more cost-effective long-term. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most practical solution.

How much does asphalt paving cost per square foot?

Asphalt paving typically costs between $3-7 per square foot depending on the project size, site conditions, and thickness required. Driveways usually fall on the higher end due to smaller quantities and site access. Large parking lots cost less per square foot due to economies of scale. The price includes excavation, stone base, and asphalt installation. Additional costs may apply for drainage work, permits, or removing existing pavement. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

When is the best time of year for asphalt work?

Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt installation in New York. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to install properly and cure correctly. We typically work from April through October, with May through September being optimal. Cold weather makes asphalt difficult to work with and can affect the final quality. However, we can handle emergency repairs year-round when necessary. Planning your project for the warmer months ensures the best results and allows the asphalt to cure properly before winter weather arrives.

Do I need permits for driveway asphalt work?

Most residential driveway work doesn’t require permits if you’re staying within your existing footprint. However, if you’re expanding your driveway, changing drainage patterns, or working near property lines, permits may be required. Commercial projects typically need permits and inspections. We’re familiar with local requirements in Wading River and surrounding areas and can help determine what’s needed for your specific project. When permits are required, we can often handle the application process or guide you through the requirements to avoid delays.

How soon can I drive on new asphalt?

You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours under normal conditions. However, the asphalt continues to cure and harden for several months. We recommend avoiding heavy vehicles, sharp turns, and parking in the same spot repeatedly for the first few weeks. Hot weather can make new asphalt softer, so extra caution is needed during summer months. For commercial applications with heavy traffic, we may recommend a longer curing period. We’ll provide specific guidance based on your project, weather conditions, and intended use.
