Woburn, MA U.S. Pavement Services, Inc. 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. 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.

Musto reflected on the award and the year for his company. “We consider ourselves a family at U.S. Pavement Services and the success we experienced in 2015 was unprecedented in our 30 year history. It’s a credit to our hard working and committed staff and crews. We have the industry’s highest standards so recognition from the voice of the industry as number one among thousands of eligible contractors nationwide is gratifying but we’re only getting started.”

Pavement Maintenance and Reconstruction Magazine publisher, Amy Schwandt, said, “The magazine’s selection process was exhaustive and had several stages. Companies were judged on quality of work, safety records, scope and variety of jobs, community outreach and overall growth. U.S. Pavement Services had many credentials that made them stand out above the rest. They are not the biggest company but their standards set the pace for the entire industry.”

Started in 1985, U.S. Pavement Services did nearly $50 million in sales in 2015, up from $36 million in 2014.
