Senn Blacktop

What Senn Blacktop does

Senn Blacktop Inc is a family-owned asphalt paving contractor founded in 1958 and headquartered at 12154 40th Avenue, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The company delivers a full range of pavement services — new asphalt installation, sealcoating, crack sealing, pothole repair, line striping, and parking lot paving — across four counties in Western Wisconsin: Chippewa, Clark, Dunn, and Eau Claire. Its customer base spans three segments: residential homeowners (driveway paving, repair, sealcoating), commercial property operators (schools, churches, retail centers, office buildings, warehouses, apartment complexes, manufacturing facilities), and municipal governments (city streets, town roads, bike trails, new development paving).

The company's operating capability is conventional: site preparation via excavating, grading, and compaction, followed by asphalt laydown, finishing, and maintenance work. Technology consists of standard paving equipment and a static company website (sennblacktop.com) used to showcase projects and capture quote requests. A distinctive offering is the Asphalt Shingle Recycling Program, which collects used shingles from partnered Roofing Associates and reuses them in paving, diverting more than 10,000 tons of material from Chippewa Valley landfills each year and lowering input costs.

Senn Blacktop's revenue model is project-based and quote-driven: each job is scoped through on-site assessment and priced via a custom estimate, with no published rates. Distribution is exclusively direct to customer via phone (715-723-8527) and a website contact form, supported by a careers page for field and CDL hiring. The company is privately held by the founding family, has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no institutional ownership.

The arrangement is described as beneficial for the environment, the homeowner, and future paving customers.
