Like many paving and pavement maintenance companies, All Out Parking Lots started small. Founders Kevin McGarvey and Marco Menna, elementary school friends who worked landscaping jobs together, started with just the two of them and a work van in 2011.
“We invested in a 2003 Ford E250 Con Edison Electric Work Van. We went to Lowes and Sealmaster New Castle, DE for the tools and materials we needed and spent that summer going door to door and sealcoating residential driveways in Delaware & Chester County, PA,” Menna says. “After I graduated from Temple University & Kevin from West Chester University in 2012, we formed All Out Services LLC, sold the van and bought a new Ford F550 Box truck. We had Sealmaster in Allentown, PA install and mount a new 575 Sealmaster Tank Unit inside the box truck.”
Today, the company has grown to 35 In-house employees and has extended their service reach with over 50 certified partners. As of June 2022 the company has worked in 30 states and has received work order requests in 32.
“Our goal is to have serviced all 50 states,” Menna says.
A Shift in Operations
When the company was founded, they focused solely on residential work. Today, that focus has shifted to nearly 95% commercial work with 5% residential. The growth came from partnering with companies across the country that mirror All Out’s values and always staying top of mind for their customers.
“We have a world class team and group of partners that are set up and ready to assist all our clients quickly,” Menna says. “We have created a system that is designed to keep everyone involved on the same page. “We strive for quick reaction times no matter the job size. For many of our clients, we are their first responders. If there is an emergency in their parking lot, they are counting on us to address the issue as quickly as possible.”
In 2016 the company began working with Comcast Spectacor and since has serviced over 4 million sq.ft. of asphalt for the company over the years. This includes the parking lots for the Philadelphia Phillies, Flyers & 76ers facilities.
“At All Out, we have a commitment to being constantly open to learning and always striving to improve,” Menna says. “We are active members of Associations like RFMA, SPECS, CONNEX, PAA, NJAA, DAA, BOMA, CAI, IREM, ICSC. We also participate in the tradeshows/events and attend industry specific conferences like the National Pavement Expo and World of Asphalt Show.”
And their commitment extends to their employees as well.
“For employee differentiation and recruiting we have added a weekly Bitcoin Bonus along with a very competitive benefits package,” Menna says. “We plan to continue investing in Bitcoin and also promote it to our employees and partners.”
And like most contractors, they have been hit with inflation and shortages, but feel well-positioned for the future.
“We are doing our best to stockpile materials and equipment to set us up for the future,” Menna says. “Having a friendship turn into a successful business partnership during the growth years was crucial to the success we have now. Having strong support from our families, friends and employees along the journey has also been key to our success.”
