Our Residential Paving Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

We start with a site visit to assess your current driveway and discuss what you need. No pressure, just straight answers about what’s involved and what it costs.

If you decide to move forward, we schedule the work around your convenience. The old asphalt gets removed properly, and we prepare the base with the right materials and proper grading for drainage.

The new asphalt goes down in the right thickness for your specific use. We compact it correctly and make sure the edges are clean and the surface is smooth. Most residential paving projects in Northport wrap up in one to two days, depending on size and complexity.

Everything Your Driveway Project Needs

Your residential paving project includes complete removal of the old surface, proper base preparation, and professional asphalt installation. We handle the permits if needed and coordinate with utility companies for any marking requirements.

The drainage gets addressed during base preparation. Too many Northport homeowners have dealt with water problems because the original contractor skipped this step. We grade everything properly so water moves away from your home and doesn’t pool on the surface.

You also get cleanup and disposal of all old materials. We don’t leave you with a pile of broken asphalt to deal with. The job site gets cleaned up completely, and you get a driveway that’s ready to use as soon as it cools.

How long does a new asphalt driveway last in Northport?

A properly installed asphalt driveway in Northport typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate thickness for your specific use, and quality materials that can handle Long Island’s climate. Driveways that fail early usually had shortcuts taken during installation – thin asphalt, poor base prep, or inadequate drainage. With sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair, you can expect decades of reliable service from quality residential paving.

What's the difference between repair and full driveway replacement?

Driveway repair works when you have isolated cracks or small sections of damage, usually covering less than 30% of the surface. We can patch these areas and blend them with the existing pavement. Full replacement makes sense when the damage is widespread, the base has failed, or when repairs would cost more than half of a new installation. If your driveway has multiple large cracks, significant settling, or drainage problems, replacement usually gives you better long-term value than trying to patch everything.

How thick should residential asphalt paving be in this area?

Most residential driveways in Northport need 2-3 inches of compacted asphalt over a properly prepared base. The exact thickness depends on your soil conditions, drainage requirements, and expected traffic. Heavier vehicles or commercial use require thicker installation. The base preparation matters more than most people realize – we typically use 4-6 inches of crushed stone base, properly compacted and graded. Skimping on base thickness or asphalt depth leads to premature cracking and failure, especially with our freeze-thaw cycles.

When is the best time of year for driveway paving?

Late spring through early fall gives you the best conditions for asphalt installation in Northport. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees for proper compaction and curing. Summer and early fall are ideal because the ground is dry and stable. Winter paving is possible but not recommended except for emergency repairs. Spring work depends on ground conditions – we need the frost to be completely out and the base to be stable. Planning your residential paving project for May through October gives you the best results.

How much does residential paving cost in Northport?

Residential paving costs in Northport typically range from $8-15 per square foot for complete replacement, depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and access challenges. Simple repairs cost less, while complex projects with drainage work or difficult access cost more. The total depends on your specific situation – soil conditions, existing base, drainage needs, and size of the area. We provide written estimates after evaluating your property because every driveway project has unique requirements that affect the final cost.

Do you handle permits and inspections for driveway projects?

Most residential paving projects in Northport don’t require permits if you’re replacing existing pavement within the same footprint. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, changing drainage patterns, or working near property lines, permits may be required. We handle the permit process when needed and coordinate with the town for any required inspections. We also arrange utility marking through Dig Safe before any excavation work begins. Part of hiring experienced local contractors is getting someone who knows the local requirements and handles these details properly.
