From Albany to Colonie: Why Capital Region Businesses Trust Egan Paving for Parking Lot Perfection
Parking Lots: The First Impression of Your Business
When a customer pulls into your business, what’s the first thing they notice? More often than not, it’s the parking lot.
In Albany and Colonie, high-traffic areas like strip malls, supermarkets, banks, and medical centers see thousands of cars daily. If the lot is cracked, potholed, or poorly marked, it doesn’t just look bad — it sends a message about how you care for your business.
At Egan Paving, we’ve been helping Capital Region businesses make the right first impression for over 50 years.

Why Albany & Colonie Businesses Choose Local Paving Experts
Unlike national contractors who may not understand our climate, local paving experts know exactly how freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and salt treatments affect asphalt in upstate New York.
For businesses in Albany, Colonie, Schenectady, and Guilderland, this means:
Durability: Asphalt designed to withstand Capital Region winters.
Safety: Smoother lots mean fewer trip hazards and reduced liability.
Efficiency: Work scheduled around your busiest hours to minimize downtime.
Buyer Beware: Common Parking Lot Mistakes Businesses Make
Too often, property owners fall for shortcuts. Here are the top mistakes we see across Albany and Colonie:
Hiring Unmarked Crews
Those “cheapest bid” offers often come from fly-by-night operators who disappear before the job fails.
Skipping the Base Layer
Some contractors pave over dirt or crumbling asphalt — leading to cracks within months.
Ignoring Drainage
Without proper grading, puddles form, freeze, and create potholes.
Delaying Repairs
Waiting until spring often means higher costs. Freeze-thaw cycles magnify small cracks into costly potholes.
