Why Hester
For more than 30 years, the Hester name has earned its reputation one driveway, one parking lot, and one customer at a time. We put the same care into every job, from proper preparation to clean edges and straight lines. That attention to detail keeps customers coming back and recommending us to friends and family.
Experience matters. Quality matters. Treating people right has always been part of the job.
How we workWhat We Do
Proper asphalt protection and maintenance can make the difference between pavement that lasts 12 years and pavement that lasts 25.

A deep black protective layer that blocks UV rays, water and chemicals, extending the life of your pavement for a fraction of the cost of replacement. It's in our name for a reason.
Explore sealcoating
Hot rubberized filler stops water from reaching the base, helping prevent potholes, base failure and a five-figure repair bill.
Explore crack filling
Driveway repairs, pothole patches and edge fixes with square cuts, compacted fill and sealed seams so the repair holds.
Explore repair
Crisp stalls, fire lanes, ADA markings and directional arrows — the details inspectors check and customers notice.
Explore striping
Scheduled inspections and a written plan catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs.
