We’ve seen every type of driveway problem this area throws at contractors. From drainage issues that turn driveways into ice rinks to soil conditions that cause premature cracking.

Our Paving Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we evaluate your existing pavement and drainage situation. We measure everything and identify any underlying issues that need addressing before new asphalt goes down.

Next, we prepare the base properly. This means removing old, damaged asphalt, grading for proper water runoff, and compacting the foundation. Most paving problems start with shortcuts during this step.

Then we install your new asphalt using quality materials designed for New Jersey’s climate. We compact everything to the right density and make sure edges are sealed properly. The result is smooth, durable pavement that handles whatever weather comes next.

Residential and Commercial Paving

Complete Asphalt Services You Need

We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and everything in between. Whether you need a small driveway repair or a complete parking lot installation, we have the equipment and experience to do it right.

Our asphalt paving services include proper drainage solutions, which is crucial in Madison Heights where water management can make or break a paving job. We also handle blacktop repairs, sealcoating, and line striping for commercial properties.

Every project gets the same attention to detail, from material selection to final cleanup. We use hot-mix asphalt that’s designed to handle local traffic loads and weather conditions, not the cheap stuff that starts failing after one winter.

How long does a typical driveway paving project take to complete?

Most residential driveway projects take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves removing old pavement and preparing the base. Day two is when we install the new asphalt. Weather can affect timing, especially if we need extra time for proper base preparation. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. You can usually drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, though we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles or placing dumpsters on it.

What's the difference between asphalt and blacktop for driveways?

Asphalt and blacktop are essentially the same material – a mixture of aggregate and bitumen. The terms are often used interchangeably, though “blacktop” sometimes refers to asphalt with a higher stone content. What matters more is the quality of materials and installation process. We use hot-mix asphalt that’s designed for your specific application, whether that’s a residential driveway or commercial parking lot. The key is proper installation with the right base preparation, compaction, and drainage – not what you call the material.

How much does it cost to pave a driveway in Madison Heights?

Driveway paving costs depend on size, current condition, drainage needs, and access to your property. A typical residential driveway ranges from $3-7 per square foot, but that’s just a starting point. Driveways requiring extensive base work or drainage improvements cost more upfront but last much longer. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – no surprises or hidden fees. The investment usually pays for itself through increased property value and eliminated repair headaches.

Will my new driveway crack during New Jersey winters?

Properly installed asphalt should handle New Jersey winters without significant cracking. The key is correct base preparation, proper drainage, and using quality materials designed for freeze-thaw cycles. Cracks usually develop when water gets underneath the pavement or when the base wasn’t prepared correctly. We address drainage issues during installation and use asphalt mixes that flex with temperature changes rather than cracking. Minor surface cracks can develop over time, but major structural problems shouldn’t happen if the job is done right from the start.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Madison Heights?

Most driveway replacement projects don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and not changing drainage patterns. However, expanding your driveway or significantly altering grading might require approval from local authorities. We’re familiar with Madison Heights requirements and will let you know if permits are needed for your specific project. When permits are required, we can help guide you through the process or recommend what steps you need to take before we begin work.

How long will my new asphalt driveway last?

A properly installed asphalt driveway should last 15-20 years or more with basic maintenance. Longevity depends on factors like base preparation quality, drainage, traffic load, and weather exposure. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years helps extend life by protecting against water penetration and UV damage. The biggest factor is getting the installation right the first time – proper base preparation and compaction make the difference between a driveway that lasts decades versus one that starts failing after a few winters.
