When It Comes To Pavement Repair And Maintenance, New England Sealcoating Has You Covered
BOSTON, MASS. -- Successful business owners know that one of the best sources of new business is referrals from people they trust.
When it comes to recommending a firm to handle commercial pavement maintenance and repair, installation of specialty surfaces (such as sports and high friction), decorative coatings, and line marking, many of New England’s most experienced commercial and multi-housing property managers recommend New England Sealcoating / NESCO (www.newenglandsealcoating.com).
“Many companies do what we do,” says NESCO President Craig Swain. “Our success and growth are due to a combination of factors: a trained, trustworthy and experienced professional staff; the most advanced equipment technologies; and the highest quality materials.” He estimates that his company, founded in 1945, has sealcoated over 400 million square feet of parking lots, driveways, roads and walks.
Swain also credits much of his success to product and equipment versatility: “These allow us to tailor our maintenance programs to the specific needs of the customer’s surfaces.”
To the untrained eye, says Swain, sealing pavement and filling cracks looks easy. “But to do the job right and make it last, we consider factors such as traffic patterns, pavement conditions, texture and porosity,” he says. Attention to detail results in satisfied customers – and repeat business.
John Sullivan, Operations Director for E. J. Paving Co. of Methuen, Mass., a long-time NESCO client and a paving industry expert for 31 years, says, “We’ve been doing business with New England Sealcoating for 21 years. They’ve done many jobs, often with very sensitive schedules, and have always come through.”
Another satisfied customer is Paul Tallen, Senior Vice President at Niles Management Co. based in Canton, Mass., who has 25 years in commercial real estate. He likes the personal service provided by Craig Swain. “NESCO’s crew always gets it right the first time,” says Tallen. “Their workmanship makes me look good.”
Tallen says, “We appreciate Craig’s personal service. His proposals are detailed, he consults on what needs to be addressed in the near and short term, his plans are carefully mapped out, and his prices are always competitive.”
Swain says, “Our philosophy is that preserving and upgrading pavement surfaces the right way from the outset is efficient and cost effective, which can result in lower maintenance or replacement costs down the road.”
Swain and NESCO Sales Manager Jay Muir are also committed to giving back to the community. NESCO has pledged to donate a portion of sales during the next few months – up to a maximum of $35,000 – to Homes for Our Troops (HFOT), an organization that helps to build customized homes with adaptive features so disabled veterans will gain maximum freedom of movement and the ability to live more independently.
The explanation of his support illustrates Swain’s character. “I’ve always been a history buff, especially related to the Vietnam era because I lived through it. I remember how poorly the Vietnam vets were treated when they returned and how bad I felt, especially for those who were injured. After September 1, 2011, knowing how these courageous men and women’s lives had changed, I wanted to do something tangible to thank them for their sacrifice. HFOT is a perfect fit for what we want to do. Now that I’m in a position to help, I feel it’s my duty to step forward.”
