Flynn Brothers

What Flynn Brothers does

Flynn Brothers Contracting, Inc. is a privately held, 100% employee-owned heavy civil construction firm headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, founded in 1973 by brothers Jesse and John Flynn. The company provides site development, asphalt paving, underground utility construction, and concrete construction services to municipal, commercial, and residential clients across Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Its Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) trenchless sewer rehabilitation capability extends service coverage across most of the eastern United States, and a dedicated trucking subsidiary (Flynn Trucking) supports internal material and equipment hauling. Anchor customers include Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), Louisville Water Company, Louisville Metro, and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).

Operationally, the firm owns and operates two asphalt plants (Robards Lane and Brooks/Coral Ridge Road locations), giving it in-house hot mix supply and production control. Its technology stack centers on CIPP for sewer rehabilitation and the proprietary EZ STREET Ambient Asphalt Technology—a ready-to-use cold asphalt patching product that works in wet conditions, requires no mixing, and is marketed as cutting pothole repair cost in half. Revenue is generated through three streams: project-based construction services awarded via competitive bids and government procurement (one-time project model), asphalt material sales from owned plants (hardware/commodity model), and direct EZ Street product sales via a dedicated sales contact (Blake Carlisle). The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting municipal agencies and commercial developers, supplemented by word-of-mouth referrals and a basic digital presence (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn). The company became 100% employee-owned through an ESOP in 2004, and current leadership—CEO Bill Reed, President Steve Mossholder, and CFO Peter Rastocny Jr.—represents a generational transition from the founding brothers.
