What You Get With Professional Paving

Your driveway or parking lot becomes an asset, not a headache. No more dodging potholes or making excuses for cracked, uneven surfaces that make your property look neglected.

You get smooth, durable asphalt that handles New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles without falling apart in two years. The kind of surface that actually enhances your property value instead of detracting from it.

Professional paving means proper drainage, so you’re not dealing with standing water or ice patches. It means materials and techniques designed for our climate, not some quick fix that looks good for six months.

How long does asphalt paving typically last in New Jersey?

Properly installed asphalt paving in New Jersey typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, appropriate thickness for your traffic load, and quality materials designed for our freeze-thaw climate. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair extend the life significantly. Cheap installations with inadequate base prep or thin asphalt might only last 5-8 years, which is why proper installation matters more than saving money upfront.

What's the difference between residential and commercial paving requirements?

Commercial paving requires thicker asphalt (typically 3-4 inches versus 2-3 inches for residential) to handle heavier vehicle loads and more frequent traffic. Commercial projects also need to meet ADA compliance for accessibility, proper drainage for larger surface areas, and often require specific base depths. The materials are essentially the same, but commercial installations demand more robust engineering and stricter specifications. Residential driveways focus more on proper drainage away from foundations and appropriate thickness for typical car traffic.

How do I know if I need complete replacement or just repairs?

If more than 30% of your surface has cracks, potholes, or drainage issues, replacement usually makes more financial sense than patching. Widespread alligator cracking, significant settling, or standing water after rain typically indicate base failure that repairs can’t fix long-term. However, isolated cracks or small areas of damage on otherwise solid pavement can often be repaired effectively. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach based on the overall condition and your long-term goals.

What should I expect to pay for driveway paving in Union Valley?

Driveway paving costs in Union Valley typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and access challenges. A standard two-car driveway (600 square feet) generally runs $1,800-4,200 installed. Factors affecting price include excavation needs, base material requirements, drainage solutions, and any obstacles like mature trees or tight access. We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all costs, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for without surprises.

When is the best time of year for paving projects?

Late spring through early fall (May through October) provides the best conditions for asphalt paving in New Jersey. Asphalt needs warm temperatures for proper installation and curing – ideally above 50°F consistently. Summer months offer the most flexibility for scheduling, while spring and fall can have weather delays. Winter paving is possible during warm spells but not ideal for curing. We recommend scheduling your project early in the season to ensure availability during optimal weather windows.

Do you handle permits and what insurance protection do I have?

We handle any required permits for your paving project and ensure all work meets local Union Valley and New Jersey requirements. We carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, protecting you from any accidents or property damage during the project. You’ll receive certificates of insurance before work begins. We also provide written warranties on our installation work, giving you recourse if any issues develop due to workmanship problems. All permits, insurance documentation, and warranty information are provided in writing.
