You get a driveway that doesn’t crack apart after one winter. No more dodging potholes in your own driveway or watching water pool against your foundation every time it rains.

We handle everything from small repairs to complete driveway replacements. The asphalt we install is built for Long Island’s weather – the freeze-thaw cycles, the heavy rains, the salt from winter storms.

Your property value goes up. Your daily frustration goes down. And you’re not calling someone back in two years to fix what should have been done right the first time.

Asphalt Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out and assess what you’re working with. We look at drainage, the condition of your existing surface, and any specific challenges your property presents.

We give you a clear estimate with no surprises. If we find additional issues once we start, we discuss them with you before proceeding.

The actual work starts with proper preparation – that’s where most companies cut corners and where most problems start. We excavate to the right depth, ensure proper grading for drainage, and use the right base materials. Then we install the asphalt using commercial-grade equipment and techniques that create a smooth, durable surface.

Asphalt Repair and Maintenance

Complete Asphalt Services Available

We handle new asphalt driveways, parking lots, and walkways. We also repair existing surfaces – filling cracks, patching potholes, and resurfacing when that makes more sense than full replacement.

Commercial properties get the same attention to detail as residential jobs. We understand that your business can’t afford extended downtime, so we work efficiently and coordinate timing to minimize disruption.

Proper drainage is part of every job we do. Water is asphalt’s biggest enemy, and in Wheatley Heights, we know exactly how to grade and direct water away from your surface and foundation.

How long does a typical asphalt driveway installation take?

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Day one usually involves excavation and base preparation. Day two is asphalt installation and finishing. We need good weather for installation, so we might reschedule if rain is forecast. You can typically drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles or making sharp turns on the surface.

What's the difference between repair and full replacement?

If your driveway has isolated cracks or small potholes but the overall structure is sound, repairs often make sense. We can fill cracks, patch holes, and seal the surface. But if you’re seeing widespread cracking, major settling, or drainage problems, replacement is usually the better investment. A patched-up driveway that’s fundamentally failing will just need more patches next year. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what makes the most financial sense for your situation.

How do you handle drainage issues with asphalt installation?

Proper drainage is critical for asphalt longevity, especially here on Long Island. We grade the surface to direct water away from your foundation and off the driveway. If needed, we install drainage systems or adjust the slope to prevent water pooling. Standing water will destroy asphalt through freeze-thaw cycles, so we address drainage as part of every installation. This isn’t an add-on service – it’s part of doing the job right from the start.

What kind of maintenance does new asphalt need?

New asphalt should be sealed 6-12 months after installation, then resealed every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. Keep the surface clean of debris and oil stains. Address small cracks quickly before they become big problems. Avoid parking heavy vehicles or equipment in the same spot repeatedly. In winter, use calcium chloride instead of rock salt when possible – it’s gentler on asphalt. Most importantly, don’t ignore small issues. A $50 crack repair today prevents a $500 pothole repair next year.

Do you provide estimates and what should I expect?

Yes, we provide free estimates for all asphalt work. We’ll come to your property, assess the current condition, take measurements, and discuss your specific needs. Our estimates include all materials, labor, and equipment needed to complete the job properly. We explain what work needs to be done and why, so you understand what you’re paying for. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. If we encounter unexpected issues during the work, we discuss them with you before proceeding.

How long will my new asphalt driveway last?

A properly installed asphalt driveway should last 15-20 years with regular maintenance. The key factors are proper installation, good drainage, and routine care like sealing and crack repair. Long Island’s weather is tough on asphalt – the freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure, and heavy rains all take their toll. But when the job is done right from the start with proper base preparation and drainage, your driveway will handle these conditions for decades. Cheaper installations that skip steps might look fine initially but typically fail within 5-10 years.
