The board below is the 2026 board. Jobs booked before the plant’s spring adjustment keep the winter board — whichever board is lower, which is a policy we have never once had to explain twice.
What we do
Three trades, one crew
The big lay — new drives, $4.50–5.85 / sq ft
Two and a half inches of hot mix in two compacted lifts over base we read before we price, tack coat between the lifts at 0.06 gallons a square yard, edges tamped by hand and a crown cut so the Flat’s melt goes to the ditch instead of the garage. A 4,000-square-foot drive is a one-day lay for this crew — the paver does not wait, the plant does.
The rescue — mill & overlay $3.70 · infrared $3.15
For the drive whose surface has given up but whose base has not: milled an inch and a half, tacked and relaid in a fresh two-inch wearing course. The shallow failures — alligatoring, a lifted edge — get the infrared box instead: the top two inches reheated, new mix folded through, one continuous surface with no seam and no scar, at $3.15 a foot.
The fleet lot — commercial from $2.95 / sq ft
Phased so it never closes, striped so it reads right, and scheduled around your hours — nights and weekends if the weekdays do not work. Catch basins raised, tack between every course, the striping package in the same mobilization: 4-inch lines at 15 mils with beads, ADA stalls, arrows, fire lanes.
The striping shop
Lines are the part everybody reads
A lot that drains but cannot be read is half a job. Four-inch lines at fifteen mils wet, glass beads broadcast while the paint is open, stalls re-measured to code and fire lanes re-established where the old layout drifted. Restripe over sound paint runs the same crew at $0.78 a foot — beads and all, because grey lines at night are a liability wearing a paint costume.
How a Milepost job runs
The week on the board
The same five-day shape whether it is a driveway on Coy Staging or a yard in Rand Siding — the board on the fridge and the board on the page agree, or the page is wrong.
Day 0
The board quote
Tape, slope and a base read in one visit. The number comes off the board on the tailgate and goes on your calendar with a real Monday on it.
Day 1
Mill & haul
The old surface comes off at an inch and a half and rides to the plant as RAP — thirty-one percent of it comes back inside the new mix.
Day 2
Tack & level
SS-1h at 0.06 gallons a square yard, leveling course on the low reads, edges squared for the joint. The plant gets the tonnage call that afternoon.
Day 3
The lay, two lifts
Binder then wearing course, joints hot to hot, edges tamped by hand — density checked before the mat cools, not apologized for after.
Day 4
Beads & open
Sweep, stripe, cure card on the door — and the surface opens on the Monday the board promised, which is the only marketing this crew has ever needed.
2025 — 2026
Recent mats
Six surfaces from the last two seasons, shot the week the beads went down. A fresh mat with fresh lines is the only advertisement a paving crew has ever needed — everything else on this page is just the receipt.
The board said Monday and the lot opened Monday. They milled Friday, laid Saturday morning, striped Sunday with the beads down by four. Our tenants found lines instead of cones, and the invoice was the board rate to the square foot. I have hired louder companies; I have never hired a faster one.
Every other bid made me choose between the infrared blend and the saw-cut rebuild. Milepost looked at the apron, said the top two inches were the problem and the base was fine, and blended it for half the tear-out number. A year on you cannot find the edge — and the snowplow cannot either.
The four regulars
Straight from the board
If yours is not here, the yard line runs six to five, Monday to Saturday, and the person who answers has laid mat or run beads in your township. The board on the tailgate answers the rest.
Can you really finish a driveway in a week?
The work is a day and a half — the week is the calendar: plant scheduling, weather and the cure. The board quote comes with a real Monday on it, and the crew has hit it on better than nine of ten driveways for five seasons running. The tenth was a hurricane, and the board moved with the refund offer still standing.
Infrared or saw-cut — how do you decide?
By where the failure lives. In the top two inches over sound base, the box reheats and blends at $3.15 with no seam. Through the mat and into the base — pumping, rutting, a corner that sinks every rain — it gets saw-cut and rebuilt full depth, because a blend over a failed base is paint on a broken canvas. The measure decides, on your lot, with a core if the story is unclear.
What is in the striping package?
Layout chased to code and re-cut where the old paint drifted, four-inch lines at fifteen mils wet, glass beads broadcast on, stall counts to current standard, arrows, fire lanes and the ADA set. $0.78 a foot on new mat, same crew, same mobilization — the lot opens reading right or it does not open.
How much of my new lot is recycled?
About thirty-one percent on the average load — milled pavement from jobs like the one you are replacing, crushed and re-blended at the plant to full spec. The batch ticket prints the percentage every load. It keeps the price off the barrel index and your old lot out of the tip; both of those are on purpose.
