Asphalt Driveway Paving Albany NY
Egan Paving Inc. — Family-Owned Since 1975

Albany winters are brutal on asphalt. Freeze–thaw cycles, road salt, and Upstate UV exposure break down even well-built driveways faster than most homeowners expect. A driveway that looked fine in October can be cracked, heaved, and draining wrong by April.

Egan Paving Inc. has been fixing and building driveways across Albany, Schenectady, and Colonie since 1975. Over 50 years. Thousands of driveways. One family name on every job. We'll give you a straight answer on what your driveway actually needs — and an honest price to get it done right.

Asphalt Driveway Services in Albany, Schenectady & Colonie NY

Not every driveway problem is the same — and not every driveway needs to be torn up and rebuilt. We'll tell you honestly what yours needs, whether that's a sealcoat, a targeted repair, a full resurfacing, or a brand-new installation.

New Asphalt Driveway Installation

Starting from scratch or replacing a failed driveway beyond repair. We build it right — proper grading, base preparation, and compaction before a single shovelful of asphalt goes down.

  • Full site grading and drainage planning
  • Crushed stone base installation and compaction
  • Commercial-grade hot-mix asphalt, properly compacted
  • Clean edges and finished apron at street connection
  • Typical installation: 1–2 days for residential driveways

Asphalt Resurfacing (Overlay)

If your driveway's base is still solid but the surface is worn, cracked, or faded, resurfacing is the smart middle option — a new asphalt surface layer at a fraction of full replacement cost.

  • Old surface cleaned and prepped thoroughly
  • 1.5"–2" new asphalt overlay applied and compacted
  • Restores like-new appearance and surface integrity
  • Extends driveway life by 10–15 years when done correctly
  • Best option for structurally sound driveways with surface wear

Asphalt Crack Repair & Patching

Cracks and potholes don't fix themselves — they grow. Water gets in, freezes, expands, and what was a $200 crack fill becomes a $2,000 resurfacing job. Catch it early.

  • Crack routing and hot-pour rubberized crack filling
  • Pothole patching with proper saw-cut edges
  • Surface leveling for low spots and drainage issues
  • Same-season repairs available in most cases
  • Honest assessment — we won't push repairs you don't need

Sealcoating

The most cost-effective thing you can do for a healthy driveway. Sealcoating locks out water, UV rays, and road salt — the three things that destroy asphalt fastest in the Capital Region.

  • Professional-grade coal tar or asphalt-based sealant
  • Applied to clean, crack-filled surface only
  • Restores deep black color and curb appeal
  • Extends driveway life by several years per application
  • Best in spring or fall — read our complete sealcoating guide →

Why Albany & Colonie Homeowners Choose Egan Paving

There's no shortage of paving contractors in the Capital Region. Here's what's different about working with Egan Paving — and why homeowners who called us in 1985 are still calling us today.

We've been doing this since before most of our competitors were born. Egan Paving was founded in 1975 in Colonie, NY — a family business that has paved driveways for three generations of Capital Region families. That kind of longevity doesn't happen by cutting corners or overselling jobs. It happens by being straight with people and doing work that lasts.

We use DOT-approved materials on every job, residential or commercial. The same hot-mix asphalt specification used on state road projects goes into your driveway. There's no "residential grade" workaround here — the material is either right or it isn't, and ours is right.

We tell you what your driveway actually needs — not what makes us the most money. If your driveway needs a sealcoat, we'll tell you that. If it needs a full replacement, we'll tell you that too. We'd rather give you an honest answer than win a job you'll regret hiring us for. Learn more about our history →

Our 4-Step Driveway Paving Process

Every Egan Paving job — from a simple patch to a full driveway installation — follows the same straightforward process. No surprises, no shortcuts.

1

Free On-Site Assessment

We come to you, walk your driveway, and give you an honest read on what it needs. We assess the base, drainage, existing damage, and what treatment makes sense — repair, resurface, or full install. No obligation, no upsell pressure.

2

Clear Written Estimate

You get a written quote that tells you exactly what work will be done, what materials we'll use, and what it costs. No vague line items, no bait-and-switch pricing. If anything changes during the job, we tell you before we do anything extra.

3

We Show Up When We Said We Would

We book a date, we show up on that date — with the right crew and the right equipment. In 50 years of doing this, showing up on time is still one of the things that separates good contractors from everyone else.

4

Proper Work, Clean Site, Done

Every step done correctly — proper base prep, proper mix temperature, proper compaction, proper edge work. When we're done, the site is clean, you get care instructions, and you know how to reach us if anything ever comes up.

What Capital Region Homeowners Say

"Egan Paving replaced our 30-year-old crumbling driveway last spring. The crew was on time, worked clean, and the driveway looks better than when the house was new. Don't bother calling anyone else."

— Homeowner, Colonie NY

"Got three quotes for asphalt resurfacing. Egan was in the middle on price but the only one who actually walked the driveway and explained what they were going to do and why. That's who I want working on my property."

— Homeowner, Albany NY

"Family has used Egan Paving since the '80s. My parents used them, now I use them. Same family, same quality. That says everything."

Asphalt Driveway FAQ — Common Questions from Albany Homeowners

Straight answers to the questions we get most often.

Residential driveway paving in the Albany area typically runs $3,500–$8,000+ for a full installation, depending on size, site conditions, and base work required. Resurfacing generally runs $1,500–$4,500. Crack filling and repairs start much lower. The only way to get an accurate number is an on-site assessment — which we provide free. We'll tell you exactly what it'll cost before any work starts.
Late spring through early fall — roughly May through October — is the ideal paving window in upstate New York. Asphalt needs ambient temperatures consistently above 50°F to cure properly. Spring is our busiest season, so scheduling early is important.
A properly installed asphalt driveway with a good base should last 20–30 years with basic maintenance — sealcoating every 2–3 years and crack filling as needed. Driveways that are never maintained typically fail in 10–15 years.
You can walk on new asphalt within a few hours. Light vehicle traffic is safe after 24–48 hours. Full cure takes 6–12 months, during which you should avoid parking heavy vehicles in the same spot for extended periods. We'll give you full care instructions when the job is done.
It depends on the base. If cracks are surface-level and the base is solid, crack filling or resurfacing is often the right call. If you're seeing alligator cracking (a network of interconnected cracks), that usually indicates base failure and requires full replacement. This is exactly what our free on-site assessment determines.
Yes. Egan Paving stands behind our workmanship. Warranty terms depend on the type of work and are spelled out in your written estimate. If something goes wrong due to our work or materials, we come back and make it right. That's been our policy for 50 years.
Over gravel: often yes — if the base is properly graded and compacted. Over concrete: sometimes — if the concrete is in good condition without significant cracking or heaving. We assess both situations on-site and tell you what's feasible.
Call us at (518) 221-4132 or use the online quote request form. We'll schedule a free on-site assessment, walk your driveway with you, and give you a written estimate before we leave. No pressure, no obligation.
