Asphalt Specialties

Asphalt Specialties Co., Inc. is a family-owned and operated heavy highway contractor with a rich history spanning over three decades. Our story began in 1991 when Daniel W. Hunt, driven by a desire for independence and the opportunity to build something meaningful, founded the company in Henderson, Colorado. Initially operating with a small crew and a focus on specializing in asphalt paving, patching, and milling services, Asphalt Specialties gradually expanded its operations.

Responding to the burgeoning construction industry in the Denver area, the company embraced growth, investing in its own equipment and expanding its workforce. This strategic decision proved to be highly successful, ultimately positioning Asphalt Specialties as a leading force in the Colorado construction landscape.
