Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out and assess what you’re working with. We look at drainage, existing base conditions, and any specific challenges your property presents. You get a written estimate that covers everything – no surprise costs later.

Once we start, we prep the area properly. That means excavation to the right depth, proper base material, and grading that actually moves water away from your foundation. Then we lay the asphalt at the right temperature and compact it correctly.

The whole process typically takes 1-2 days for most residential driveways. Commercial projects vary based on size and complexity. We keep you informed throughout and make sure you know exactly when you can drive on your new pavement.

Residential Commercial Paving Contractor

What's Included in Every Project

For residential work, we protect your landscaping and existing structures. For commercial projects, we work around your business schedule to minimize disruption. All projects include proper cleanup and disposal of old materials.

You get a crew that shows up when scheduled, completes the work as promised, and leaves your property clean. We use equipment sized appropriately for your project – not oversized machines that damage your lawn or undersized tools that compromise quality.

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish. Day one involves excavation, base preparation, and grading. Day two is asphalt installation and final grading. Weather can extend this timeline – we won’t lay asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too low. Commercial projects vary significantly based on size, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it. The key is proper preparation, which sometimes takes longer but ensures your pavement lasts.
Asphalt and blacktop are essentially the same material – a mixture of aggregate and bitumen. The terms are often used interchangeably. What matters more is the quality of materials and installation. We use hot-mix asphalt that’s designed for your specific application, whether that’s a residential driveway or heavy-duty commercial parking lot. The aggregate size and asphalt content vary based on expected traffic loads. For most homeowners, standard residential-grade asphalt provides the right balance of durability and cost-effectiveness.
If more than 30% of your driveway surface is damaged, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. Look for widespread cracking, multiple potholes, or areas where the base is failing and the asphalt is sinking. Edge deterioration and drainage problems also indicate it’s time for replacement. Minor cracks and isolated damage can often be repaired effectively. During our assessment, we’ll be honest about what makes financial sense. Sometimes spending money on extensive repairs just delays the inevitable replacement by a year or two.
Residential driveway costs typically range from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and access challenges. A standard two-car driveway runs roughly $2,500-5,000. Factors that increase cost include poor drainage requiring extra base work, difficult access for equipment, or removal of existing concrete. Commercial projects are priced differently based on thickness requirements and traffic loads. We provide written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
You can typically walk on new asphalt within a few hours, but wait at least 24-48 hours before driving on it. In hot weather, wait longer – asphalt stays softer when temperatures are high. Avoid turning your steering wheel while stopped on new asphalt for the first few weeks, as this can cause scuffing. Heavy vehicles should stay off for at least a week. We’ll give you specific guidance based on weather conditions and the particular mix we use. Following these guidelines helps ensure your new pavement cures properly and lasts longer.
Yes, we handle permit applications when they’re required. Most residential driveway replacements don’t need permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries. However, if you’re expanding your driveway, changing drainage patterns, or working near the street, permits may be necessary. We’re familiar with Harlingen’s requirements and will let you know upfront if permits are needed. Commercial projects almost always require permits, and we coordinate with local authorities throughout the approval process. This is part of working with an established local contractor rather than trying to handle everything yourself.
