Professional Driveway Paving Services in Markham

Empire Paving offers a full suite of driveway paving solutions tailored to Markham homeowners:

1. New Asphalt Driveway Installation

Perfect for new builds or complete driveway replacements.
We remove the old asphalt (if required), regrade the base, and install fresh hot-mix asphalt with heavy-duty commercial rollers.

2. Driveway Resurfacing (Asphalt Overlay)

If your existing driveway is structurally sound but showing wear, resurfacing provides a cost-effective way to restore smoothness and appearance without full replacement.

3. Driveway Removal & Replacement

For driveways with cracks, dips, or base failures, we remove all material, rebuild the foundation, and pave a brand-new asphalt surface engineered for longevity.

4. Driveway Extensions & Widening

Increase parking space, improve convenience, and elevate curb appeal with properly blended driveway additions.

5. Asphalt Repairs

We repair cracks, potholes, depressions, and damaged areas to restore safety and maintain driveway lifespan.

6. Custom Edging & Drainage Solutions

We ensure proper slope and water flow—critical for Markham properties that experience heavy rain and rapid snowmelt.

Driveway Paving in Markham: Built for Local Conditions

Markham’s climate is demanding. Freeze-thaw cycles, fluctuating temperatures, and road salt can break down poorly installed asphalt. That’s why our driveways feature:

• Stable granular bases
  
• Thick asphalt layers for strength
  
• Precise compaction for density and durability
  
• Expert water drainage management
  
• High-grade asphalt mixes suitable for Markham’s seasonal extremes
  

Our installations follow strict residential paving standards used by commercial projects, giving homeowners a higher-quality driveway than most contractors provide.

Customer Reviews From Markham Homeowners

RIAN MADORE — 5 Stars

“Requested a quote from a few companies on our long driveway. Met with Luciano. He praised his company and workers, to the point I had to listen. Of course, having read the Empire references I had no doubt. Having removed the old asphalt and prepped the driveway back in late April, we waited (by their plan) a couple of months for the new drive. On July 6th, they rolled in at 7 am as promised, with a number of pieces of modern equipment. My wife and I were totally impressed. Under the supervision of Joe, they completed touch ups before the asphalt arrived. The versatile crew had good work ethic and operators could move from one piece of equipment to another. They worked tirelessly, even after the heat wave moved in, to complete a professional job. We were completely satisfied. I would highly recommend.”

Kris Vosper — Local Guide

“Empire was exceptional! The salesperson came out and quoted our driveway quickly, and explained some of the processes they use. They arrived early on the scheduled day and were done in less than two hours. Of the four we called, only Empire and one other showed up. We are very happy with how our driveway turned out!”

professional workmanship, honest communication, and results that exceed expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions – Driveway Paving Markham

How long does a new driveway last in Markham?

With proper installation and maintenance, an asphalt driveway typically lasts 20–30 years.

How long before I can drive on the new asphalt?

Light foot traffic is okay after a few hours. Vehicles should wait 24–48 hours, depending on weather.

Should I seal my driveway?

We recommend sealing 12 months after installation, then every 2–3 years.

Is resurfacing an option, or do I need full replacement?

If the base is stable and the asphalt structure is intact, resurfacing is cost-effective. Severe cracking or sinking usually requires full replacement.
