Johnson & Sons Paving has grown quickly since opening in September 2014. The asphalt and concrete construction company has more than 50 employees.
Johnson & Sons has experienced year-over-year revenue increases, recently received an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and also opened a new office in Madison.
“Like most companies, we have a lean management team, so we’re focused on building the internal infrastructure we need to support our growth,” said Jason Johnson, president and owner.
According to Johnson, the company has earned a reputation for quality work, on time and on budget.
“That’s led to a lot of repeat business and referrals,” he said.
Like most companies in the industry, Johnson & Sons has dealt with the challenging labor shortage. There is a small group of qualified candidates, particularly for positions requiring specialized skills, Johnson said. The challenge puts a strain on hiring efforts and potential growth.
Johnson plans to expand into new markets and consider strategic acquisitions, he said.
