Professional Paving Process

How We Handle Your Paving Project

First, we assess your specific site conditions and discuss exactly what you need. No generic estimates or one-size-fits-all approaches. We look at drainage, existing base conditions, and how you’ll be using the surface.

Next comes proper preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the foundation of everything. We excavate to the right depth, ensure proper grading, and install the base materials that will support your asphalt for decades.

Then we install your asphalt using the right mix for your application and our professional equipment. We pay attention to compaction, edge work, and finishing details that separate professional work from amateur jobs.

Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you. You’ll know exactly how to maintain your new surface and what to expect as it cures.

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and site conditions. Commercial projects vary based on square footage and complexity, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront. Weather can affect scheduling, especially during New Jersey’s unpredictable seasons, but we communicate any delays immediately. The actual paving work moves quickly once preparation is complete – it’s the proper base work that takes time and ensures your asphalt lasts.
Quality paving starts with proper excavation and base preparation – something cheaper contractors often skip. We excavate to the right depth for your specific use, install proper base materials, and ensure correct drainage. The asphalt mix itself matters too – we use appropriate thickness and the right mix design for East Hanover’s climate. Cheap jobs might look fine initially but develop cracks, potholes, and drainage issues within a few years. Quality work costs more upfront but saves money long-term through durability and fewer repairs.
Most residential driveway work doesn’t require permits in East Hanover, but commercial projects and work affecting public right-of-way often do. We handle permit requirements as part of our service and know local regulations. If your project involves changing drainage patterns, connecting to public roads, or expanding beyond existing paved areas, permits might be necessary. We’ll identify any permit needs during our initial assessment and take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate township requirements yourself.
If more than 30% of your surface has cracks, potholes, or structural damage, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. Widespread alligator cracking, significant settling, or drainage problems typically indicate base failure that repairs can’t fix. However, isolated cracks or small damaged areas can often be repaired effectively. We’ll assess your specific situation honestly – sometimes a good repair job buys you several more years, and sometimes it’s just throwing money away. Our recommendation depends on the actual condition of your asphalt and base, not what makes us more money.
Residential driveways typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on thickness, base requirements, and site conditions. Commercial work varies widely based on specifications and complexity. Factors affecting price include excavation depth needed, base material requirements, asphalt thickness, site accessibility, and current material costs. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for. Beware of estimates that seem too good to be true – they usually are, and you’ll pay more in the long run through premature failure or change orders.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in New Jersey. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees and dry conditions for proper installation and curing. Summer and early fall are ideal because asphalt plants are running full production and weather is most predictable. Winter paving is possible but limited by temperature and weather windows. Spring can be tricky due to ground conditions from freeze-thaw cycles. We schedule most projects between May and October, but can often accommodate urgent repairs year-round when conditions permit.
