U.S. Pavement donates sealcoating and line painting to Habitat for Humanity

According to Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston, U.S. Pavement Services donated sealcoating and line painting for the 17,000 s/f parking lot at Blue Hill Place. Blue Hill Place is Habitat Greater Boston's largest single project to date, and includes 24 Habitat homes and one commercial unit. The donation will help provide important cost savings and benefits for Blue Hill Place owners. Sealcoating the lot will ensure its longevity and minimize future repairs; and the painting of new parking spaces will provide clear and safe markings for vehicle parking. U.S. Pavement's donation came about after their CEO, Mike Musto, heard more about Habitat for Humanity's mission. "U.S. Pavement Services is happy to be able to give back to an organization such as Habitat for Humanity, which provides invaluable services to the community," said Musto. "We welcome the opportunity to help them out," said Robert Pappalardo, VP of business development at U.S. Pavement Services. It's a service that Habitat for Humanity welcomes with open arms. "Habitat for Humanity, Greater Boston is grateful for friends like Mike Musto and his associates at U.S. Pavement Services, Inc. We cannot do what we do without people from companies like U.S. Pavement," said Gerry Patton, construction superintendent. "They are willing participants and indeed partners in our mission to build decent, affordable homes for families in Boston."
