Rahway Asphalt Driveway Installation

Your Property Value Just Went Up

A properly installed driveway does more than just look good. It gives you smooth access to your home without dodging potholes or worrying about scraping your car’s undercarriage.

You get a surface that drains water away from your foundation instead of pooling it there. No more ice patches in winter or standing water that seeps into cracks and makes everything worse.

The right materials and installation mean you’re not calling for repairs every few years. Your driveway becomes an asset, not a headache that keeps costing you money.

New Driveway Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your current situation and measure everything properly. No guesswork on materials or costs. We explain what needs to happen and why, so you understand what you’re paying for.

Next comes the prep work. We excavate to the right depth, grade for proper drainage, and compact the base material. This foundation work determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 20 years.

Then we install your chosen material – asphalt or concrete – using proper techniques and equipment. We don’t rush this part because getting it right the first time saves you money and frustration later.

Driveway Resurfacing and Repair

Complete Driveway Solutions

Whether you need a brand new driveway installation, resurfacing of your existing asphalt, or concrete driveway work, we handle residential projects of all sizes in Rahway.

Our asphalt driveway paving uses quality materials that stand up to New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles. For concrete driveways, we ensure proper curing and finishing that prevents cracking and surface deterioration.

We also handle driveway repair services for existing surfaces, blacktop driveway maintenance, and drainage corrections that prevent water damage to your foundation and landscaping.

How long does a new driveway installation take in Rahway?

Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one is excavation and base preparation. Day two is material installation. Day three handles finishing touches and cleanup. Weather can extend this timeline, but we’ll keep you informed of any delays. For asphalt driveways, you can typically drive on the surface within 24-48 hours, though we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete driveway paving costs?

Asphalt driveway paving typically costs less upfront than concrete, usually running $3-5 per square foot installed. Concrete driveways cost more initially, around $4-8 per square foot, but can last longer with proper installation. However, the total cost depends on your specific site conditions, drainage needs, and prep work required. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you can make an informed decision based on your budget and long-term plans.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Rahway, NJ?

Most driveway replacement projects in Rahway don’t require permits if you’re staying within the existing footprint. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, changing drainage patterns, or connecting to a different street location, you may need township approval. We’re familiar with Rahway’s requirements and can help determine if permits are needed for your specific project. When permits are required, we can guide you through the application process to avoid delays.

How do I know if my driveway needs resurfacing or complete replacement?

If your driveway has minor cracks and surface wear but the base is still solid, resurfacing might work. However, if you see large cracks, significant settling, drainage problems, or areas where the base material is visible, full replacement is usually the better investment. We can assess your current driveway and explain your options honestly. Sometimes spending a bit more on replacement saves you from having to redo the work in a few years when resurfacing fails.

What maintenance does a new asphalt driveway need?

New asphalt driveways need minimal maintenance for the first few years. Avoid parking in the same spots repeatedly during the first month to prevent indentations. Clean oil spills promptly to prevent staining. After 2-3 years, consider sealcoating to protect against weather and extend the surface life. Small cracks should be filled quickly to prevent water infiltration. With proper care, a quality asphalt driveway can last 20+ years before needing major work.

Can you install driveways during winter in New Jersey?

Concrete driveway installation can continue in mild winter weather with proper precautions, but asphalt installation requires temperatures above 50°F for proper compaction and curing. We typically schedule asphalt projects from April through November in New Jersey. However, we can handle emergency repairs and prep work during winter months. If you’re planning a spring installation, booking during winter often means better scheduling and sometimes better pricing since it’s our planning season.
