CONTRACTOR ’ S CORNER
DOCTOR ASPHALT , LLC , MADISON , WISCONSIN
JAKE ABERNATHY
By Jeff Winke
WHO ARE WE ? A couple of childhood friends created Doctor Asphalt , LLC , while sophomores in college at the University of Wisconsin in Madison . It seemed like a good way for Jake Abernathy and Brad LaVesque to fund their college costs . Both had previously worked in the asphalt paving industry so they saw the potential . The company name , Doctor Asphalt , is a nod to Brad who had plans to enter medical school to become a surgeon . By the time they were finishing their undergraduate degrees , the company had exploded in growth and was requiring more than Brad wished to handle . He sold his interest to his partner Jake . During these first few years , the company had grown 100 % annually and also expanded to the Minneapolis area where they both are from .
WHAT WE DO Doctor Asphalt is a full-service residential and commercial asphalt paving and maintenance contractor serving Wisconsin , Northern Illinois and Minnesota . Stated Jake Abernathy , president of Doctor Asphalt : “ We specialize in commercial and residential asphalt paving , milling repairs with finished paved overlay , protective sealcoating , crack filling to ensure functionality and restore appearance , infrared patching , pavement marking and striping to ensure safe navigation and parking .”
RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS The company completed a couple of major pavement maintenance projects for Costco at the end of last season . Costco is the warehouse company that sells items in bulk or in larger sizes than customers can find in the average retail store . There are normal products in Costco stores , including furniture , mattresses , home furnishings , clothing and more . Most notably , one of the Costco projects was completed in full within 24 hours . There is a video of that project on the Doctor Asphalt website as well as YouTube .
