Woburn, MA

The condition of your parking lot is a strong indicator of the general condition of the entire property. Your pavement is the first impression of your property. Property and facility managers in charge of individual properties or a portfolio of properties are responsible for maintaining the care and condition and also finding the best price for goods and services to accomplish that. Any contractor proposing to work on your parking lots must have an appreciation and understanding of what property and facility managers are up against. It is the first crucial step when considering a paving and pavement maintenance site solution. In the case of your parking lots it is doubly important to know the specific needs of your properties. A good contractor’s first order of business is to educate themselves thoroughly on your properties.

When providing a recommendation, the breadth of services provided by a contractor is a critical element to the unbiased nature of their recommendation. A fully self-performing contractor – with in-house offerings of all scopes – will have a more comprehensive view of the life cycle of your pavement and concrete assets. In-house capabilities are also a crucial measure of control on the project – both in evaluation and bidding, to coordination and delivery, to quality control. Coordination to ensure minimized or eliminated downtime to tenants and customers is only achieved with all in-house capabilities. Property managers want assurances that the work being done meets the owner’s specifications as well as any corporate standards that may apply. More importantly they want to know who they are dealing with. In every industry there are good and reliable subcontractors who do excellent work. The pavement industry is no different. However, given the highly specialized large scale operations and quite frankly the investment, the additional safeguards inherent with self-performing contractors has become a must have for facility and property managers.

U.S. Pavement Services was named the number one contractor for 2016 by Pavement Maintenance and Reconstruction Magazine from a pool of over 20,000 paving and paving maintenance contractors nationwide. The award was accepted at the National Pavement Expo (NPE) by founder and CEO, Mike Musto. It was the culmination of a remarkable year for the company which saw record growth for the fifth consecutive year. As a result, additional investments in equipment such as a new Kasi Infrared truck and milling machine have increased offerings to property and facility managers.

That buying power translates into savings that allow U.S. Pavement Services to bid competitively without sacrificing quality. It’s that value coupled with full scope capabilities that uniquely positions the company among the nation’s best.
