History of Eckles Paving

HISTORY

Since the early 1900’s, the Sumsion name has been synonymous with asphalt paving in the state of Utah. Valley Asphalt, based in Spanish Fork, Utah was owned by the Sumsion family until 1997 when it was sold to a nation-wide construction company. Through three generations, the Sumsion family had built one of the largest, well-respected asphalt paving companies in the state.

Ryan Sumsion was born and raised around the family business. Through the years, he has had the opportunity of learning the business from the bottom up. Ryan graduated from BYU in Construction Management and for several years worked for some of the largest Heavy-Civil contractors in the Western United States. In 2006, he formed Sumsion Construction with the intention of continuing his family legacy in asphalt.

In that same year, Sumsion Construction purchased Eckles Paving. Eckles Paving was a small asphalt paving company in Utah County. With a service record of more than 15 years, Eckles Paving had contracted with thousands of customers across the valley and had proven itself as a quality, customer-oriented company.

In 2007, Sumsion Construction purchased GJ Asphalt. GJ Asphalt was primarily focused on the asphalt maintenance niche of the industry. Seal coating, crack filling, patching and striping. The purchase of GJ Asphalt gave Sumsion Construction the flexibility of performing all asphalt paving/asphalt maintenance work in-house.

Park City Sealcoat was added in 2008. Like Eckles Paving, Park City Sealcoat had served the Park City/Heber area for more than 10 years. The purchase of Park City Sealcoat brought a lot of new customers and opened new opportunities for Sumsion Construction in the Park City/Heber area.

In 2017, Sumsion Construction purchased US Star Paving. US Star Paving had served the Salt Lake City market for more than 25 years and primarily focused on larger volume paving projects. This acquisition added to the already strong customer base in the Salt Lake area for Sumsion Construction and solidified our presence in the largest market in Utah.

Today, Sumsion Construction is on of the largest full service asphalt paving/asphalt maintenance contractors in Utah. We continue with the legacy of providing quality workmanship at a fair price. We do what we say we are going to do and we do it when we say we are going to do it. We look forward to being your asphalt company!

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

In 2016 - 2017 we have built 7 Quick Quack Car Washes along the Wasatch Front. We have had the need to do some asphalt work on the different sites. And each time the need has come up, we have called on Eckles Paving to get the job done. The job has always been completed to our high standards. I cannot say enough great things about this company. Very pleasant to deal with. I would refer them to anyone that ask.

To deal with a company that does what they say they will is a pleasure. What really astounded me in today's world was the quality and efficiency of their work crews, which happens as a prep/road base crew 1st and then an asphalt crew. Both crews ran like clockwork and you could watch how each man knew what to do and did it right. My job was done very well, and they cleaned up the road after. I would certainly recommend anyone to Eckles Paving anytime

My parking lot Super Hero's! Eckles paving was Fair, Fast and Friendly! never had so much fun replacing a parking lot! I'm being totally serious. Attention to detail, easy to work with and competitive in price set them apart. I shopped four other companies and I'm so happy I went with Eckles. Amazing experience! They had my 4,000+ sq. ft. parking lot demoed, regraded, paved and striped at Super Hero Speed!

Eckles paving has done work over the years for many State Agencies in Utah and has always been professional and conscientious. As the Engineer on some of these projects I have enjoyed working with them and have found that their new paving and paving maintenance work is done correctly and in accordance with the bid and our direction.

I trust Eckles completely. They are honest and fair. If you’re getting quotes that are substantially different than theirs, do some research to find out why. There are a lot of shortcuts that vendors can take to shave money off, but for an asset that is this big, you need someone to be honest with you!
