About
The Leader in Pavement Services Since 1965
“Wherever you walk, park or play – MAC is your first call when you need an asphalt pavement service company.” This means more to us than a company slogan. We mean it. We adhere to it proudly. It stems from our humble beginnings as the first company to bring sealcoating to Kansas City. Since that time, we have expanded our asphalt pavement services to meet the needs of our many customers throughout the Midwest region.
Today, MAC is the first choice for premium sealcoating products used by contractors and homeowners everywhere. We’re also the first choice of business owners, facility managers, apartment managers and others who need our full range of pavement services, including sports and recreation surfaces.
From a full spectrum of colors in sports surfaces, to the leading blends in high-performance sealcoating – MAC has you covered – literally. Technology changes frequently and the professionals at McConnell & Associates are prepared to help you navigate those changes. Count on us to bring you the latest technology and materials for all of your surface sealing and maintenance projects.
