Driveway Paving Company in Amherst

Amherst experiences freezing, snowy winters with 63 inches of annual snowfall, requiring aggressive driveway maintenance and frequent sealcoating cycles. Over 61.5% of Amherst's housing stock was built before 1980, meaning older driveways and parking lots face accelerated freeze-thaw damage and base deterioration.

Asphalt Built for Amherst's Freeze-Thaw Cycle

With 63 inches of annual snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles that crack and heave asphalt, your driveway needs more than standard installation. We use proper base preparation and binder courses to handle Amherst's seasonal stress.

Most of Amherst's homes and commercial properties date to before 1980, with driveways that have absorbed decades of salt, snow, and moisture. Sealcoating every 2–3 years protects against further deterioration and extends pavement life.

From brick paver installations for curb appeal to full parking lot resurfacing for commercial properties, we handle the complete range of asphalt and hardscape work that keeps Amherst properties safe and functional year-round.

Spencer, Spencer, Spencer, He is the Man. I had a challenging grading issue. he had the machinery and the manpower to make the impossible possible. He did my driveway for a reasonable price and quickly. This is the best driveway work I have ever seen. June 2026.

Dan Novak (Prime Time Real Estate) Google review · June 2026

Hardworking young company. No nonsense, just easy information and quick estimate. After the work was complete I had some concerns. The owner came right back and addressed them himself within 24 hours. You get conflicting information from the other outfits. This company is smart and they get the project done. Recommended them already to my own clients. Happy to leave a review.

The crew was polite and efficient and came on time on the day they said they would. They were very efficient and cleaned up well. Very kind over the phone and in person and the price in this economy was very fair. I am quite pleased with the job they did

Was very quick to show up and give an estimate. Good price. Showed up the day that they said they would and got the work done quickly and efficiently. I'll be having them do some more work in the fall, highly reccomend.

Empire State Asphalt did an amazing job redoing our driveway. Spencer was polite and knowledgeable about the products and process. It was easy to schedule a date that worked for all of us. The day of the project, the team was polite and courteous. They worked hard the whole time. The driveway looks and feels amazing. No more craters and a smooth drive. They made sure everything was cleaned up and that we were satisfied with the job. Thank you to the guys that did our driveway! Looks great!

Asphalt Contractor FAQ for Amherst

Common questions from Amherst customers about our services, process, and coverage.

Amherst's freezing winters and heavy snowfall cause water to seep into asphalt, freeze, and expand—pushing the surface up and cracking it. Proper base preparation and regular sealcoating prevent water penetration and extend pavement life significantly.

In Amherst's climate, we recommend sealcoating every 2–3 years. The combination of 63 inches of annual snowfall and salt application accelerates wear, so frequent maintenance prevents costly repairs.

Over 61.5% of Amherst's housing stock predates 1980, and many original driveways show base failure. Resurfacing is often more cost-effective than full removal if the base is still sound—we assess and advise on the best option.

Late spring through early fall is ideal—temperatures must stay above 50°F for proper curing. We avoid winter work to ensure quality installation and full adhesion before the freeze-thaw cycle returns.
