Highway Rehabilitation Corporation

What Highway Rehabilitation Corporation does

Highway Rehabilitation Corporation is a privately held civil engineering and pavement preservation contractor founded in 1981 and headquartered in Pawling, New York. The company specializes exclusively in Hot In-Place (HIP) Mill Asphalt Recycling, an on-site, in-place asphalt pavement rehabilitation method that heats, scarifies, applies emulsified asphalt rejuvenator, mills to a 1.5-inch depth, and compacts existing pavement to produce a recycled homogeneous asphalt mix. Operations are supported by four custom-designed recycling trains fabricated in-house at the company's Alden, New York corporate and maintenance facility, representing a substantial proprietary equipment asset base.

The company serves municipal, county, and state government clients — specifically Departments of Public Works, Highway Departments, and transportation authorities — across nine Northeast and New England states (NY, MA, CT, RI, VT, NH, ME, PA, NJ). Its service is positioned as a cost-effective pavement preservation strategy that extends pavement life by 12-15 years, reuses 100% of existing asphalt material, reduces traffic disruption, and lowers carbon footprint relative to traditional milling and paving. Customer relationships are characteristically long-term, with several municipal accounts spanning 10-20+ years and embedded within multi-year capital and pavement management programs.

Highway Rehab generates revenue through project-based contracts priced per linear foot or mile of roadway treated, secured through direct sales by five regional sales representatives covering defined territories. The business model is sales-led with no channel partners, with all services delivered using company-owned equipment and crews. The company was acquired in 2020 by longtime employees Tom Colella and Michael Haggerty from founder Ken Carr, both bringing over 50 years of combined industry experience; the founder was also an original founder of the Asphalt Recycling and Reclaiming Association (ARRA) in 1976.
