Finding the Best Paving Company Near You in the Capital Region (Hint: It’s Not Just About Asphalt)
If you live in Colonie, Albany, or Schenectady, you know:
We don’t pick contractors the way the internet says we do.
Sure, we Google “best paving company near me” — but then we call our cousin who knows a guy, ask the neighbor who just redid their driveway, or hit the diner and ask Tony behind the counter.
And honestly? That might be the best approach.
Because in the Capital Region, it’s not just about price or Google stars — it’s about trust, grit, and whether the company you hire actually shows up when they say they will.
“Who Did Your Driveway?”
That question gets asked a lot in neighborhoods like:
Loudonville, where the edges matter
Schenectady, where cracked concrete’s more common than curbs
Albany, where even parking is political
Latham and Westmere, where home values ride on curb appeal
When you see a crisp new blacktop, smooth transitions, proper grading, and a crew that’s not blocking the whole street — that’s the real marketing. That’s what makes people ask questions.
Around here, we know that word of mouth and workmanship go hand-in-hand — and it’s usually your neighbor who gives the most honest review.
What Makes a Paving Company the “Best”?
Let’s cut through the fluff.
The best paving company near you probably isn’t the cheapest, or the loudest online. It’s the one that:
Answers the phone on the second ring
Sends an estimator out who actually looks at your site
Walks you through what your options are
Doesn’t confuse you with contractor lingo
Sends a team that respects your property and your time
That’s not a national chain — that’s local, Capital Region service.
Proof You Can See — In Your Own Neighborhood
We’ve had homeowners call us in Colonie and say,
“You did my brother-in-law’s driveway in 2020 and it still looks new.”
Or local businesses in Albany that say,
“We’ve been through three paving companies — you’re the first one that didn’t disappear after the job was done.”
In Schenectady, we’ve taken on parking lots so damaged they were basically gravel again. We built those back into clean, striped, fully-drained lots that businesses can be proud of.
No drama. Just pavement that holds up — year after year.
We’re a Construction Crew, Not a Call Center
When you hire Egan Paving, you get:
Local crew members who live in the Capital Region
In-house prep, grading, and equipment
A real foreman on-site — not someone calling in from another city
No subcontracting, no shortcuts
This isn’t a pop-up paving outfit. We’ve been at this for over 50 years, through snowstorms, summer heat waves, and city detours.
Where We Work (And Why It Matters)
We’ve paved:
Driveways in Loudonville, Colonie, Guilderland, and Delmar
Parking lots in Downtown Albany, Schenectady, and Latham
Commercial zones, banks, churches, and private homes — even a horse farm or two
We know the difference between sandy soil in Colonie, wet spots near the Mohawk, and sun-beaten blacktop that breaks down fast in open commercial lots.
Your paving needs are local. Your contractor should be too.

To wrap things up…
If you’re still searching for the best paving company near me — think about what best really means.
It’s not about the biggest billboard or the flashiest website. It’s about the company you’ll still see working in your neighborhood next season. The one that knows the city inspector by name. The one your neighbor already recommends.
That’s Egan Paving. Quietly reliable. Always local.
