At the start of the 20th century, with the introduction of the automobile, the dry and muddy conditions that roads offered were not sufficiently safe and a change was needed. In Scotland, a man named Alfred McAlpine invented a substance known as tarmac. Tarmac had a tar base and was sprayed onto the road surface at a very hot temperature. Gravel was then thrown onto the tar, and this innovation marked the beginning of asphalt paving.
In 1988, 22-year-old Wayne Houston gave up college to start his own asphalt paving business, as his father and grandfather before him were pavers as well. Along with his wife, a dump truck, a rented roller and three workers, ASAP Paving was born. This company is known as northern Virginia’s number one asphalt paving company. The hundreds of miles of roads and highways in the greater DC metro area, as well as northern and central Virginia, dictates a great deal of planning before and during the actual paving contact. ASAP Paving knows this best and is the premier paving company in the region. ASAP Paving has served these areas for more than 20 years, and the growth of the company shows how they have satisfied this very important criteria.
When a company becomes large, it may allow the small projects like paving a driveway to be neglected, but that is one reason ASAP Paving is so well respected. They have not forgotten the small projects like patio in VA, and in fact, over the years they have paved thousands of residential driveways. Although they may bid the largest paving contracts, ASAP Paving still offers a full one year guarantee to even the most minor projects. They have many satisfied customers, from the largest city or county authority, to the personal driveway of a happy homeowner.
