What Aci Asphalt & Concrete does

ACI Asphalt & Concrete LLC is a commercial paving and pavement maintenance contractor founded in 1993 by Jim Bebo and headquartered in Maple Grove, Minnesota, with a secondary office in Roberts, Wisconsin. The company serves commercial property owners, managers, and developers across Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and South Dakota, operating as a Heartland Paving Partner platform company and backed by private equity firm Soundcore Capital Partners. Its service portfolio spans asphalt paving and resurfacing, sealcoating and crack filling, concrete design and repair, drainage solutions, parking lot striping, polyjacking (polyurethane foam injection), infrared asphalt repair, ADA compliance, and winter asphalt maintenance, with services tailored to Upper Midwest freeze-thaw climate conditions.

The company's technical approach combines state-of-the-art paving equipment with specialized repair methods, including high-density polyurethane foam injection for concrete leveling and infrared radiation heating (350-400°F) for seamless asphalt patching. ACI employs 100+ unionized professionals (Local Union 49 & 139) and self-performs all work with its own crews and equipment. The business operates a sales-led, direct field-sales go-to-market targeting enterprise retailers, industrial sites, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, retail centers, office properties, hospitality venues, and multifamily HOAs, with relationship-driven account management and free, no-obligation project quotes.

ACI generates revenue through one-time project fees for paving and resurfacing work, complemented by recurring maintenance cycles (sealcoating recommended every 2-3 years, crack sealing, pothole repair, polyjacking). The company reports delivering thousands of projects annually, with the majority of work coming from returning customers including some of the world's largest retailers and commercial companies. ACI has expanded its footprint through acquisition, including the August 2023 purchase of Asphalt Solutions, and has been recognized with industry awards including the 2021 Contractor of the Year designation from Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction Magazine.

Revenue model

1. Commercial Paving and Resurfacing Services: ACI generates revenue through one-time project fees for asphalt paving, resurfacing, and new asphalt installation. Projects range from small commercial lots to large shopping centers and industrial facilities. Pricing is quote-based and determined by project scope, size, and materials required.
2. Asphalt and Concrete Maintenance Services: Recurring revenue from maintenance services including sealcoating (recommended every 2–3 years), crack sealing, pothole repair, polyjacking, and infrared repair. While individual services are one-time transactions, the company actively promotes recurring maintenance cycles to commercial property owners, creating repeat business over the life of a property.
3. Specialty Services (Parking Lot Striping, Drainage, Polyjacking): Revenue from ancillary services including parking lot striping, drainage solutions, polyjacking, and concrete design and repair. These services are sold as add-ons to core paving projects or as standalone maintenance solutions.

Scale indicators6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Heartland Paving Partners: ACI's parent platform that aggregates and supports commercial paving operating companies. Directly comparable because Heartland's mission and operating model revolve around building and scaling ACI-type regional asphalt and concrete contractors through tuck-in M&A and shared services.
• Pavement Coatings Co. A California-based commercial pavement maintenance contractor specializing in sealcoating, crack sealing, striping, and overlays. Directly comparable because Pavement Coatings operates the same service portfolio and recurring-maintenance motion that ACI promotes in the Upper Midwest, targeting commercial property managers nationally.
• Wolf Paving & Concrete Paving: A Midwest commercial paving, asphalt resurfacing, and concrete contractor serving Wisconsin, Illinois, and surrounding states. Directly comparable because Wolf operates a near-identical mix of paving, sealcoating, and concrete services to commercial customers from a base near ACI's Wisconsin operations.
• Viking Paving: A Midwest-focused commercial asphalt maintenance contractor providing paving, sealcoating, crack sealing, and pavement marking. Directly comparable because Viking offers the same recurring-maintenance, commercial-customer model with comparable technology adoption.
• Asphalt Maintenance Solutions (AMS): A national commercial pavement maintenance provider offering paving, sealcoating, striping, and concrete repair services to multi-site commercial customers. Comparable because AMS pursues the same enterprise multi-property maintenance contract motion that ACI uses to win national retailers and HOAs.
• B&E Construction Services: A commercial site development and asphalt paving contractor serving property managers and developers across the Upper Midwest. Comparable because B&E's asphalt and concrete offering, bid-build commercial sales motion, and regional focus closely mirror ACI's daily operating profile.

Broad incumbents

• Ace Asphalt: A long-established Arizona-based commercial asphalt and concrete maintenance contractor. Comparable because Ace offers the same core service mix (paving, sealcoating, crack sealing, striping, concrete) to commercial and property-management customers at a larger regional scale, validating the same operating model ACI pursues in the Upper Midwest.
• Lindy Paving: A Pennsylvania-based heavy civil paving and asphalt contractor. Comparable because Lindy performs commercial paving, milling, and resurfacing work using similar equipment and methods to ACI, and competes in adjacent bid-build markets for institutional and commercial pavement work.

Others

• Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction Top Contractors (industry cohort): The annual Top Contractors list published by Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction, on which ACI has appeared (2020, 2017). This list aggregates ACI's true public peer group — other regional commercial paving contractors competing for the same institutional awards and RFPs.
• Soundcore Capital Partners portfolio peers (other paving roll-ups): Other Soundcore-backed companies in adjacent service-contractor verticals. Comparable as comparators for ACI's PE sponsor economics, hold-period dynamics, and value-creation playbook rather than direct operational overlap.
