How this list was put together, and why we are on it

This article is published on the website of Amarillo Pavement Pros, so the obvious question is whether it is a genuine survey or an advertisement wearing a survey’s clothes. Here is the method, so you can judge it.

Every company named below is a real, operating business with a working phone number, a verifiable presence in the Amarillo area, and a website of its own. Nobody paid to be here and nobody can. The facts about each come from the company’s own site and its public listing, and they are the kind that stay true: how long it has operated, what it does, where it works. We have not published anybody’s prices.

Entries are ordered by length of verifiable trading history, the one criterion that cannot be manufactured. Our own entry is last, included for transparency rather than ranked.

Amarillo has more paving contractors than the five named here, including good ones with no website that are harder to verify from a desk. Absence is not a judgement.


1. Fuller & Sons Construction

Operating since: the company describes itself as having been in business over 75 years Work: asphalt paving, utility work, general construction Area: Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle

Fuller & Sons is the longest-established name in this market by a considerable margin, and that history is the strongest thing about them. A construction business that has traded through three quarters of a century in one region has survived every downturn the Panhandle has produced.

They present as a broad civil and utility contractor rather than a pavement specialist. A project involving utilities, site work and paving together is exactly the shape they are built for.

Their public listing shows a rating in the low fours across a modest number of reviews, which for a business of this age reflects a firm that has never leaned on online reputation rather than one with a problem.

2. Advanced Pavement Services

Operating since: the company describes over two decades in business Work: new paving, milling and overlays, asphalt maintenance, mass grading, site concrete, striping and signage, commercial and residential site development Area: Amarillo and throughout the Texas Panhandle

Advanced Pavement is the most visible pavement-focused contractor in Amarillo and carries the strongest review profile of the established firms, at 4.7 across roughly fifty reviews at the time of writing.

The notable thing is genuine breadth within pavement. Mass grading, milling, overlays, concrete and signage under one roof means a property needing several does not have to coordinate separate contractors, which on a larger site is worth real money in avoided delays.

Their website is, in our assessment, weaker than the business behind it. It is thin on technical detail and its pages are split across two versions of the domain. That is a marketing observation rather than a comment on their work, and it is worth saying plainly that a contractor’s website quality and their paving quality are unrelated variables.

3. Bryer’s Paving

Operating since: public listing shows five or more years in business Work: asphalt paving, chip sealing, seal coating, crack filling Area: Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle, with a physical address on Sanborn Street in Amarillo

Bryer’s is the newest of the established names here and has built a strong review profile quickly, at 4.7 across roughly thirty reviews.

Their service mix is worth noting because chip sealing appears on it, and that is not something every paving contractor offers. Chip seal is a genuinely useful surface treatment for large areas, rural access roads and properties where a hot mix overlay is more surface than the situation warrants. A property owner who has been quoted only for overlay and sealcoat may find that a third option exists.

They are visible and active locally, including on social media, which in this trade usually correlates with a firm that is comfortable being held to what it says.

4. All Country Asphalt

Operating since: public listing does not show a tenure figure Work: asphalt paving, with a published project gallery Area: describes statewide asphalt paving work, based in Amarillo

All Country presents specifically as an asphalt paving specialist rather than a general contractor, and their site leads with driveways, parking lots and ranch roads.

That last category is worth pulling out. Ranch road work is a real and under-served need in this region, and a contractor who does it routinely is set up for long runs of surface over unimproved subgrade, which is a different operation from a commercial parking lot. Properties outside town with access road problems are worth asking them about.

Their review count is small, which means it carries less information than a large one either way.

5. Lone Star Construction

Operating since: the company states it has been building and maintaining asphalt and concrete pavements since 1979 Work: asphalt paving, concrete Area: Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle

Lone Star has one of the longest continuous trading histories in the market, and combines asphalt and concrete under one contractor, which matters on a property where curbs, aprons and dumpster pads must be coordinated with the asphalt around them.

Their public review profile is small and mixed, which is common for older contractors who built their business on repeat commercial relationships long before anyone rated anything online. It is a reason to ask for references on comparable local jobs rather than a reason to rule them out.

6. Amarillo Pavement Pros

Included here for transparency, since this article is published on this company’s own website.

We connect commercial property owners in Amarillo and the surrounding Panhandle with local paving contractors, and we focus on the commercial pavement lifecycle: crack sealing, sealcoating, patching, milling, overlay and full-depth reconstruction, together with striping and accessibility work.

What we try to do well is the diagnosis. The most expensive mistake in this trade is not choosing the wrong contractor, it is buying the wrong work: overlaying a lot whose base has failed, sealcoating a lot that needed patching, or repainting accessible parking on a lot that has settled out of tolerance. Getting that judgement right before anybody quotes is worth more than any price difference between bidders.

We are not going to claim tenure, crew numbers or awards on a list where everyone else’s figures are verifiable. Judge us on whether the assessment we give you is straight.


What actually separates a good paving job from a bad one

Having named the contractors, here is the part that matters more than which one you call.

The diagnosis comes before the price. Ask any bidder to tell you whether your base is sound, and how they know. A contractor who will overlay anything you ask them to overlay is not protecting you from the most expensive error available. If your lot has potholes that keep reopening, pumping fines, or surface that deflects under a loaded truck, the base has failed and an asphalt overlay will crack through within a season or two.

Compare scope, not totals. The commonest reason paving bids differ wildly is that they are for different work. Get every bidder to state square footage, lift thickness, milling depth, patching quantity and what happens to the markings.

Ask about compaction. Density decides whether a mat lasts fifteen years or six, it is invisible on handover day, and it is the easiest corner to cut.

Check the accessibility position early. In Texas, a commercial construction project estimated at $50,000 or more must be registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, plan-reviewed by a Registered Accessibility Specialist before construction, and inspected within a year of completion. Commercial pavement work reaches that figure easily. Finding out afterwards is expensive.

Understand what this climate does. NOAA engineering weather data puts Amarillo at roughly 85 freeze-thaw cycles a year. That is why pavement here needs crack sealing on a shorter cycle than a contractor from a milder market might suggest, and why standing water is not cosmetic. The same applies from commercial property in Canyon out to the smaller Panhandle towns.

Get it in writing, with quantities. A lump sum with no measurements cannot be compared, verified on completion, or defended if something goes wrong.

Questions we get asked

How many quotes should I get for a commercial paving job?

Three is the usual answer and it is a good one, provided the three are quoting the same scope. The most common problem with comparing paving bids is not price, it is that one contractor has priced a mill and overlay, another has priced a straight overlay, and a third has priced patching plus a sealcoat. Those are three different jobs.

What should be in a written proposal?

The area in square feet, the thickness of any asphalt being laid, whether the existing surface is being milled and to what depth, how much full-depth patching is included and where, what happens to the markings, and what is excluded. A proposal that gives a lump sum with no quantities cannot be compared with anything.

Does the cheapest bid usually cost the most?

Often, and there is a specific reason. The two easiest places to save money on a paving job are base preparation and compaction, and neither is visible when the job finishes. A lot that was under-compacted looks identical on handover day and fails years early.
