In the business world, a company’s growth is not only a
sign of success but indicates quality work that is trusted by the community at large. Shamos Paving and Sealcoating has done just that, creating a reliable name for itself in the sealcoating industry – and now - in the paving business as well, providing both services to residential and commercial clients.
Andy Shamos first began his sealcoating company when he
was only 18 years old. It was his summer job and he was able to make it
successful through his college years. Shamos was a special education teacher
for five years, doing sealcoating during the summer until 2011, when he moved
the company to fulltime.
“I enjoy it. I liked growing it, so I stuck with it,”
Shamos said. Shamos Paving and Sealcoating now has 12 employees, the most they
have had, which includes a fulltime office manager and a fulltime estimator. And
– they are still hiring!
His crews not only work on patching, sealing, crack filling
and line striping anything from a small path to a 100,000 square foot
commercial parking lot but also provide pavement services as well.
Last year, we added paving to our list of options,”
explained Shamos. “Not only did I have the vision to expand my services to
include paving, but it was often requested by many of our clients so it seemed
like the perfect time to move forward.”
Providing meticulous customer service is their key to
success. “One thing
that we pride ourselves on is our attention to detail - from the first phone
call, right up to the completed project - we focus on the big things, and the
little things,” stated Office Manager, Katie Sherman. “When it comes to
sealcoating a driveway, or repairing a parking lot, or installing a new
driveway - the details are what matter the most, and we work really hard to
ensure our customers are satisfied with our work. We’ll be carrying over that
same attention to detail, and satisfied customer mentality, to our paving side
of the company, too.”
Shamos is a value to the community and a benefit for the
individual families from a convenience factor. If the homeowner doesn’t have
the time or skills to do the sealing, they can rely on us while they go do
something they enjoy like head to the beach or go play a game of golf. “You can
hire us to come take care of it,” Shamos said. “The homeowner doesn’t have to
worry about anything.”
Whether one is a sealcoating customer or a paving client,
satisfaction is guaranteed.
"In
my 20s, I sealed close to 500 driveways with a large outfit, and can recognize
a quality job,” stated a sealcoating client, Jeremy T. “These guys were spot on
with the prep and detail work around the house, steps, doors, and walkways. The
transition lines from hand to spray were great and the fine work around the
concrete was perfect. The modern estimation, quote, invoice system
was top notch. Really happy with the work and the price.”

Shamos Paving and Sealcoating uses a commercial grade
sealer and provides high quality paving products with precision. If a client is
looking for a professional who is insured, Shamos fits that bill. “It’s
important to have good people around to take care of the clients,” he said.
Because of that, he takes care of his employees with health insurance.
“Call us if you’re
looking to get the best service for the best price. When comparing apples to
apples, we do more for your dollar,” he said. Shamos Paving and Sealcoating
warranties their work for a year for any defects of sealcoating. “We stand by
our work.” They did over 900 jobs last summer and still remained detailed
oriented, providing the type of service people trust. In Maine, these values mean something, he
said. “If you want quick and cheap, you aren’t our customers.”
