Centerport Paving Company

We Know Long Island Driveways

All Purpose Paving has been handling residential paving projects across Long Island for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.

Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles destroy poorly installed driveways within a few seasons. We’ve seen too many homeowners get burned by contractors who don’t prepare the base properly or use substandard materials. That’s why we focus on doing it right the first time.

Our team knows Centerport’s soil conditions, drainage requirements, and local regulations. We’re not learning on your driveway.

Residential Paving Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your current driveway and drainage situation. We measure everything, check the existing base, and identify any problem areas that need special attention.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the most critical step. We remove old materials, grade for proper drainage, and install a solid stone base that won’t shift or settle.

Then we install the asphalt in layers, using professional-grade equipment to ensure proper compaction and smooth finish. We pay attention to edges, transitions, and drainage slopes. The final step is cleanup and a walkthrough to make sure everything meets our standards and yours.

What's Included in Every Project

Every residential paving project includes proper excavation, base preparation, and professional-grade asphalt installation. We handle drainage considerations, edge work, and transitions to existing surfaces like sidewalks or garage floors.

You also get cleanup that actually means something. We don’t leave debris in your landscaping or asphalt chunks scattered around your property. The job site gets restored to better condition than when we started.

Most importantly, you get our warranty on workmanship. We stand behind our installation because we know it’s done right. If something goes wrong due to our work, we fix it. That’s the difference between working with a real paving company and hiring whoever shows up with the lowest bid.

How long does a new asphalt driveway last in Centerport?

A properly installed asphalt driveway should last 15-20 years in Long Island’s climate with regular maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, quality materials, and correct installation techniques. Driveways that fail early usually have problems with inadequate base preparation or poor drainage. We focus on these critical elements because they determine whether your driveway lasts two decades or starts cracking within a few years. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years helps extend the life even further.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete for driveways?

Asphalt is more flexible and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete, which is important in New York’s climate. It’s also more cost-effective and easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete can crack from frost heaving and is expensive to fix. Asphalt can be patched or resurfaced more easily and economically. The main trade-off is that asphalt requires periodic sealcoating to maintain its appearance and protection, while concrete doesn’t need this maintenance but costs significantly more upfront.

How long does driveway installation take?

Most residential driveway installations take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two is asphalt installation and finishing. Larger or more complex driveways might require an additional day. Weather can affect timing since we can’t install asphalt in wet conditions or when temperatures are too low. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather causes delays. You can usually drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours of completion.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Centerport?

Most driveway replacements don’t require permits if you’re staying within the existing footprint. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, changing drainage patterns, or working near property lines, permits may be required. New driveways or significant modifications typically need approval from the Town of Huntington. We’re familiar with local requirements and can help determine if permits are needed for your specific project. It’s always better to check beforehand rather than deal with violations later.

What should I do to prepare for driveway installation?

Move all vehicles and clear any items from the driveway and surrounding area. We’ll need access for our equipment, so make sure gates are unlocked and there’s clear access to your property. If you have sprinkler systems or utility lines near the driveway, mark their locations or let us know where they are. Plan alternative parking arrangements for the duration of the project. We’ll handle most of the preparation work, but having clear access and knowing where utilities are located helps us work more efficiently and avoid any surprises.

How much does residential paving cost in Centerport?

Driveway paving costs vary based on size, current condition, and site-specific factors like drainage requirements or accessibility. Simple replacements typically cost less than new installations that require extensive excavation. The investment usually ranges from a few thousand dollars for smaller driveways to more for larger or complex projects. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Remember that the cheapest bid often means corners will be cut on base preparation or materials, which costs more in the long run when the driveway fails prematurely.
