More Things To Know About Dan The Paver

How Dan The Paver works: a family-owned, licensed asphalt crew that comes to you, focuses on driveways and lots, and answers the phone.

If you have found your way to this page, you probably already know the basics: we pave asphalt driveways and parking lots in central New Jersey. This post answers the practical questions people tend to ask before they pick up the phone, so you know what working with us actually looks like.

We don’t have a storefront, and that’s on purpose

Dan The Paver is a mobile, service-area business. There is no showroom or office to visit, because our work happens at your property. Our crew and equipment travel to the job, and estimates are done on site where we can see the driveway or lot, check the drainage and talk through what you want. That keeps our focus on the pavement, not on running a storefront.

The best way to reach us

Call or text 732-403-3053. A text with a couple of photos of your driveway or lot and your town is a great way to start. You can also email danthepaverinc@aol.com or use the quote form on our contact page. We will set up a time to come out.

What a free estimate includes

When we visit, we look at more than the surface. We check for signs of base failure like alligator cracking and sinking, look at where water goes when it rains, measure the area and note things like the transition to the garage, walkways and the street. Then we explain what we recommend and why, whether that is drainage and edge work, milling and repaving or a full replacement. The estimate is free, and there is no pressure.

We do two things

We focus on asphalt driveways and asphalt parking lots. That includes the work that goes with them, such as removal of the old surface, grading, base preparation and milling. For homeowners, that might mean a new driveway, repaving a worn driveway, or widening an existing driveway. For commercial owners, HOAs and property managers, it means paving, milling and repaving lots and entrances. We do not take on unrelated work; keeping to asphalt is how we keep quality consistent.

Where we work

Our service area covers three parts of central New Jersey:

  • All of Monmouth County, from the Bayshore to the inland townships and the shore towns.
  • Ocean County from Toms River north, including Brick, Lakewood, Jackson, Manchester and the Point Pleasant area.
  • Southern Middlesex County, including Old Bridge, Sayreville, South Amboy, Edison, East Brunswick, Monroe and the towns south of them.

You can see the towns in each county on our Monmouth County paving page and the other county pages.

Licensed, insured and family-owned

We hold New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor registration #13VH03282800 and carry insurance. Dan The Paver is family-owned, and the person you talk to about your project is part of the business, not a call center.

Why the details matter to us

Asphalt is only as good as what is beneath it. The parts of the job you will never see after we leave, like digging out soft spots, compacting the base and getting the pitch right, are the parts that decide how your driveway holds up through freeze-thaw winters and summer heat. We take the time to do them right. You can read more about how we build driveways on our asphalt driveway paving page.
