How We Handle Your Driveway Project

First, we assess your existing driveway and drainage situation. Every property is different, and we need to understand what’s happening with your specific site before recommending solutions.

Next comes proper preparation. This means excavating to the right depth, installing proper base materials, and ensuring drainage flows away from your home. Shortcuts here cause problems later, so we don’t take them.

Then we install your new asphalt using proper temperatures and compaction techniques. We coordinate the timing so your driveway cures correctly and you’re not stuck without access to your home. Once complete, we walk through everything with you and explain how to maintain your investment.

Asphalt Driveway Installation

What's Included In Your Paving Project

Every residential paving project includes proper site preparation, quality asphalt materials designed for Long Island conditions, and professional installation techniques that ensure longevity. We handle permits when required and coordinate with utility companies if needed.

You get proper drainage solutions tailored to your property’s specific needs. This isn’t just about laying asphalt – it’s about creating a system that directs water away from your foundation and prevents the pooling that causes damage.

We also include cleanup and restoration of any landscaping disturbed during installation. Your property should look better than when we started, not like a construction zone was abandoned there.

How long does a residential driveway paving project typically take?

Most residential driveway projects take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one usually involves excavation and base preparation. Day two is asphalt installation. If weather cooperates and no unexpected issues arise, smaller driveways can sometimes be completed in a single day. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if anything changes. The key is not rushing the process – proper curing time is essential for long-term durability.

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

Asphalt repair works when you have isolated problem areas – a few cracks, small potholes, or edge damage. We can patch these areas and seal coat the entire surface to extend its life. Full replacement becomes necessary when more than 30% of your driveway shows significant damage, when the base has failed, or when repair costs approach replacement costs. During our assessment, we’ll be honest about which approach makes financial sense for your situation. Sometimes spending a little more upfront saves you from repeated repair bills.

How do I know if my driveway needs proper drainage improvements?

Look for water pooling anywhere on your driveway after rain, especially near your garage or foundation. Cracks that run parallel to your house often indicate drainage problems. If you see erosion along driveway edges or water stains on your foundation, drainage needs attention. Long Island’s clay soil doesn’t drain naturally, so proper grading and drainage systems are critical. We evaluate drainage as part of every estimate because fixing it during paving is much less expensive than addressing water damage later.

What should I expect to pay for residential paving in Setauket?

Residential driveway paving costs vary based on size, current condition, drainage needs, and access to your property. A typical single-car driveway ranges from $3,000-$5,000, while larger two-car driveways run $5,000-$8,000. Extensive excavation, drainage work, or difficult access can increase costs. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Beware of estimates that seem too good to be true – quality materials and proper installation have real costs.

How long should I wait before driving on my new asphalt driveway?

You can typically walk on new asphalt within 24 hours, but wait at least 3-7 days before driving on it, depending on weather conditions. Hot weather requires longer curing time. We’ll give you specific guidance based on the conditions when we install your driveway. Driving on asphalt too early can cause permanent indentations and damage. If you absolutely must access your driveway sooner, we can discuss temporary solutions during planning. Patience here prevents problems that can’t be easily fixed later.

Do you handle permits and inspections for residential paving projects?

Most residential driveway projects in Setauket don’t require permits if we’re replacing existing pavement within the same footprint. However, if you’re expanding your driveway, changing drainage patterns, or working near property lines, permits may be necessary. We handle permit applications when required and coordinate any needed inspections. We’re familiar with local requirements and will let you know upfront if permits are needed for your specific project. This is part of our service – you shouldn’t have to navigate municipal requirements on your own.
