The honest lifespan numbers — and the three habits that decide which end of the range you get.

Commercial crack filling and residential driveway repair in Hillsboro, Greenfield, Chillicothe, Washington Court House and surrounding Southern Ohio communities.
Why Hester
Since 2003, the Hester name has earned its reputation one driveway, one parking lot, and one customer at a time. We put the same care into every job, from proper preparation to clean edges and straight lines. That attention to detail keeps customers coming back and recommending us to friends and family.
It's a family business, too. Sonny's father started it, and Sonny later took it over.
Experience matters. Quality matters. Treating people right has always been part of the job.
How we workWhat We Do
Proper asphalt protection and maintenance can make the difference between pavement that lasts 12 years and pavement that lasts 25.

A deep black protective layer that blocks UV rays, water and chemicals, extending the life of your pavement for a fraction of the cost of replacement. It's in our name for a reason.
