They remain one of Iowa City/ Coralville area's premier asphalt paving companies. Many of the faces of the crew look familiar, as the employees of the old company were hired by the newly organized Shamrock Construction Company. Terry Miller, Supervisor of Field Operations, Lawrence Graper, Jim Weno, Toby and Josh King, Jerry Short, bring a combined 100 plus years of industry experience to Shamrock Construction Company and their customers.
The intitial cost savings, speed of construction and long lasting durability makes asphalt the better choice for trails, subdivisions and parking lots. Asphalt pavement can be placed more quickly than other products because it requires virtually no curing time. For projects that require different stages of completion, asphalt is the answer. It allows you to place the base first, complete your building project, then place your surface layer upon completion. Completing the paving in stages provides a cleaner, easier work site and allows you to budget for the cost in stages as well.
