Services
Asphalt Resurfacing
Our asphalt resurfacing restores deteriorated surfaces through precise milling, grading, and overlay application. This process addresses cracks, depressions, and wear while extending pavement lifespan by 10-15 years. We use high-quality materials and modern equipment to ensure smooth, durable results for commercial parking lots, roads, and industrial sites.
Chip-N-Seal
Chip-n-seal applications provide cost-effective pavement preservation for low-traffic areas like rural roads and farm lanes. Our 20-foot wide seamless application creates durable, skid-resistant surfaces using specialized liquid asphalt and aggregate materials. This method offers aesthetic appeal and extends pavement life by sealing cracks and preventing water intrusion.
Cold Milling
Cold milling precisely removes damaged asphalt layers to prepare surfaces for resurfacing. Our equipment handles partial or full-depth removal, recycling 90% of materials for sustainable, cost-effective solutions. This process corrects surface irregularities while maintaining sub-base integrity for improved long-term performance.
Concrete Services
We provide concrete installation and repair for sidewalks, curbs, parking structures, and drainage systems. Our 30+ years of experience ensures proper material mixing, curing, and finishing techniques that maximize durability. Services include replacement of cracked or settled concrete and new construction for commercial properties.
New Construction
From site excavation to final grading, our new construction services create durable asphalt and concrete foundations. We handle projects ranging from small parking lots to large industrial complexes, using proper compaction techniques and quality materials to ensure long-lasting results that meet engineering specifications.
