Driveways & Paving Services
Asphalt Milling
Asphalt milling provides an affordable alternative to asphalt pavement restoration as it is a cheaper process compared to complete demolition and repaving. The asphalt milling process involves removing a layer of a paved surface, such as a parking lot or road. Milling allows for the recycling of asphalt surface.
Asphalt Overlays
Asphalt overlays are a cost-effective solution for rejuvenating old asphalt surfaces. The process involves adding a new layer of asphalt over an existing pavement surface, improving its appearance and functionality. Overlays are a great option for driveways and parking lots that have become worn but are not severely damaged.
Asphalt Paving
Asphalt paving provides a durable, long-lasting surface for driveways, parking lots, and roads. The process includes laying a fresh layer of asphalt to create a smooth, even surface that is built to withstand the elements. Asphalt paving is ideal for residential and commercial properties, offering excellent performance at a reasonable price.
Asphalt Reclamation
Asphalt reclamation is a process that involves the removal and reprocessing of old asphalt pavement to create a new base for repaving. This environmentally-friendly option saves time and resources by reusing the existing material. It is a great choice for large-scale projects where a strong base is needed without the cost of new materials.
Asphalt Repairs
Asphalt repairs involve fixing damaged asphalt surfaces, such as cracks, holes, and uneven areas. The repair process typically includes cleaning and preparing the affected area, followed by patching it with hot or cold asphalt. This restores the surface to its original condition and helps extend the life of the asphalt.
Asphalt Resurfacing
Asphalt resurfacing is an ideal solution for driveways and parking lots that have started to show signs of wear but are still structurally sound. The process involves applying a thin layer of new asphalt over the existing surface, which provides a fresh, smooth finish and improves the overall durability of the pavement.
Blacktop
Blacktop is a type of asphalt pavement that is commonly used for driveways, roads, and parking lots. It is made from a mixture of asphalt, stone, and sand, and is known for its smooth finish and long-lasting durability. Blacktop is an affordable and reliable choice for residential and commercial applications.
Crack Cleaning and Filling
Crack cleaning and filling is a crucial part of asphalt maintenance. It involves cleaning out debris from cracks and then sealing them with a durable filler material to prevent water from entering and causing further damage. This process helps maintain the integrity of the surface and extends the life of the asphalt.
Hot Oil and Stone
Hot oil and stone application is a pavement treatment used to restore the appearance and longevity of an asphalt surface. It involves spraying a layer of hot oil over the asphalt, followed by the application of small stone chips. This creates a sealed surface that is more resistant to wear and weather damage.
Pothole Repairs
Pothole repairs are essential to maintain a safe driving surface. This process involves removing debris from the pothole, cleaning the area, and then filling it with fresh asphalt to create a smooth and durable surface. Prompt pothole repair helps prevent further damage to the asphalt and ensures safety for all drivers.
RCA Installation
Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) installation is an environmentally-friendly method of using crushed concrete as a base for new asphalt surfaces. RCA provides a strong, durable foundation for driveways, parking lots, and roads while reducing the need for new materials. It is a cost-effective and sustainable choice for paving projects.
Seal Coating
Seal coating is the process of applying a protective layer to asphalt surfaces to extend their lifespan. The sealant acts as a barrier against water, UV rays, and oils that can damage the asphalt. Regular seal coating helps maintain the appearance of the asphalt while also enhancing its durability and performance.

Asphalt Driveways vs. Concrete Driveways: Which is Right for You?
Choosing between asphalt paving and concrete driveways depends on your needs, preferences, and budget.

The office staff was always responsive and considerate, and the workers on the job were polite and kept the job site neat and clean. The pricing was also very good compared to other bids we received.
I highly recommend this paving contractor.”
HOA Road Improvement Project
“John and his team did a great job replacing our old retaining wall, stairs, extending our front porch, and repaving our driveway at our home on the North Shore of Long Island.
John McGowan & Sons were recommended by a friend in the neighborhood after seeing the beautiful work they had done at their home. A job that I thought would take weeks was done in just 10 days — start to finish.
When we thought there might be an issue with an old tree being in the way, John had someone take it down the same day so his crew could keep working. When we suspected a potential problem with the water main, he had his plumber there immediately to ensure no damage would occur. And when our outdoor light stopped working, his electrician showed up within the hour to reconnect it.
They really went above and beyond to get the job done right, on time, and at the exact price quoted.
I highly recommend John McGowan & Sons to anyone looking for professional masonry work.”
