Why Two Identical Lots Get Totally Different Asphalt Paving Quotes in New York
Avello's take
Similar-looking commercial lots can come with very different paving quotes. This video explains why, looking beyond lot size to the work involved in getting crews and equipment on site, the strength of the ground beneath the asphalt, drainage, and traffic loads. It also explains how new asphalt installation, milling, and overlay work differ. We see an important distinction here: a lower bid may leave base repairs or drainage corrections out of the work, keeping underlying problems out of view rather than addressing them.
For Hudson Valley property owners, managers, boards, and public works teams, that makes the scope of work worth understanding before comparing bids. We think a sensible next step is a clear review of what each quote includes, how it addresses the base and drainage, and how ongoing maintenance fits into the paving investment. The comparison is about more than the surface.

It walks through the difference between new asphalt installation, milling, and overlay work, along with pricing ranges for each, and shows how skipping base repair or drainage correction can hide problems beneath a cheaper bid. It closes by linking sealcoating and ongoing maintenance choices to whether that initial paving investment actually lasts.
