The Pavement Repair 75 is a list that is still seeking its equilibrium. In 2014 we were able to list 75 companies with a total repair-only sales of $141,152,385. Then last year, participation declined so we listed only 50 contractors – but repair-only sales skyrocketed to $269,158,362.
That brings us to the 2016 Pavement Repair list which jumps back up to 75 companies as a result of significantly increased participation – yet total repair-only sales declined 5% to $255,068,871. (Note: This year’s list contains 76 companies as there was an exact tie for #75 so we included both contractors.)
One thing we can say is that pavement repair is truly a support service as only five companies reported that pavement repair-only sales generated 50% or more for their company (52%, 55%, 65%, 75% and 85%). This is not a surprise.
Also not a surprise is that 68 companies (91%) generate sales from paving and 69 generate sales from sealcoating (92%) – work segments that dovetail closely with pavement repair. Interestingly, 60 companies (80%) generate sales from striping, but clearly striping, based on the percentages of contribution, is not a primary service of these companies. They are primarily paving and sealcoating operations that provide repair before they pave or sealcoat.
