Doing what they do best

"The main entrance driveway was the most difficult part of the job because it's the only entrance in and out with a traffic control device so it couldn't be closed, plus it required thermoplastic markings," Maul said. So they showed up at 1 a.m. to get the entrance done, increasing some additives to speed sealer drying so the thermoplastic sub could get on and off quickly.

"We were on and off in four days, and we're very proud of that and the client appreciated that too," Maul says. "As a result of this we got another AMC Quarry cinema job and they wanted us to sealcoat it in the fourth week of October and we wouldn't do it because of the weather."

Maul suggested cracksealing the lot in the fall and then waiting until this spring to sealcoat.

"We got that job as it was a direct result of doing a good job on the Warrenville property," Maul says. "They were looking for good service and a quality job, and that's what we provide. It's not only about price. They want to find a quality vendor and we try to go in and cut their problems to a minimum and anticipate their needs."
