ROAD CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR, AND MAINTENANCE

At John McGowan & Sons, Inc., we have provided premium road construction, road repair and road maintenance services to homes and businesses on Long Island for 90+ years. We specialize in:

Asphalt Road Paving

We place type 6 or type 7 asphalt by using state of the art paving equipment. By constructing a paving course to a thickness of 1 ½”- 2” depending upon conditions set forth, compaction will be completed by using vibratory rollers weighing between 5-10 tons. Rolling and compacting will continue until all areas are sealed and free of lines.

Asphalt Reclamation

A pavement rehabilitation in which the full flexible pavement section and a predetermined portion of the underlying materials are uniformly crushed, pulverized and blended. Once the pavement has been reclaimed, a series of grading and compacting takes place. By using road graders and vibratory rollers we shape and compact all areas to meet required compaction.
