_______________________________________________________________________________________________ Gallegos Paving
South Texas based contractor, Gallegos Paving, has seen over a decade of enduring success thanks to its communityfirst approach. Founded from humble beginnings, the company is now a trusted partner for public works across the region, as Company President, Sheldon Gallegos, begins:“ I started the business in 2012. It was a very small operation, and I worked primarily on maintenance services such as fixing potholes and repairing seals. I also resurrected fences and provided repair services on warehouses. At the beginning, I was just picking up work where I could, building up my experience and technical skills.
“ Things started to ramp up when I got my first on-site contract, working to prepare the land for construction. I learned a lot on the job, and met some industry contacts who helped me expand my client base and even find an investor for the business. I was able to buy some machines and secure my first major project as a result. It was valued at $ 1,000,000, and we started work in 2016. From there, the business continued to grow, and here we are.
“ I now work exclusively on commercial sites, with a focus on large-scale industrial projects, specifically industrial parks. We also work on a lot of infrastructure projects, designed to support public improvement. Our services extend from construction to maintenance, and a lot of the work we do is inside the warehouses.
“ We offer underground utility installation, paving and earthworks, as well as some newer services, such as milling and stabilizing. We’ ve recently invested in the equipment to open our service offering even more, so we’ re now able to provide concrete paving solutions to customers looking for very robust infrastructure.”
