They were working on our road and stopped my daughters elementary school bus and was fighting with the bus driver, cussing and chasing the bus with his phone. He said "I make $45 an hour standing here holding this flag go F#&@ yourself." Along with much more. Making the bus back down the road full of children. I've called the company twice now and will continue to call until they respond.

I am a facilities manager for an office complex in Pennsylvania and needed to get Parking Lot Resurfacing. We contacted Joseph McCormick Construction Co. and they agreed to finish the job within the weekend and delivered. We have to say they are the best asphalt paving contractors we have worked with.

I needed my driveway repaired here in Pennsylvania. It had broken patches all over after 5 years of use. I got it repaired from Joseph McCormick after I found them online and was absolutely impressed with their machines and professionality. I have to say that they are the best amongst all asphalt repair companies.

I shifted to Pennsylvania a few months ago and shifted into a nice house from an apartment in another city. Our new home was amazing but the driveway and parking lot needed some much-needed work. After a chat with my new neighbors who works for the local government, I contacted James McCormick Construction Company because they are regular at dot municipal services and drainage infrastructure improvements. With such a background I had to contact JMC, they brought all their equipment and renovated my driveway and parking lot with ease and at a great price.
