Testimonials
COMMERCIAL
The Milord Company
Whoever says all contractors are the same has never worked with Gallagher Asphalt - there is a difference. Our experience working with Gallagher Asphalt has been very positive. They are committed to working efficiently and safely from the first day their crews pull onto jobsites. Most recently, while working for us at CSX in Bedford Park, Gallagher’s superintendents, foreman and crews demonstrated their focus on delivering quality and getting it done sooner than we expected. They tackled challenges creatively and like a real “partner”. We enjoy working with Gallagher Asphalt and look forward to the next opportunity. They stand by their work and are proud of what they do. We are, too.

FCL Builders
For many years now, FCL Builders has worked with Gallagher Asphalt on some very large and critical projects. Gallagher Asphalt gives us peace of mind. We know they conduct themselves with the utmost integrity. Bottom to top, the people at Gallagher take their job seriously. They care about what they’re doing and it shows. Even when things don’t always go according to plan, we know they work hard at being a part of the solution, not a part of the problem. That means a lot to us. We look forward to future projects involving them.

Village of Homewood, Illinois
Gallagher Asphalt recently completed paving Harwood/Maple Road in Homewood and I would like to compliment you on a job well done. It isn’t often that I have citizens stop in to say ‘that contractor really did a nice job on that repaving,’ but this did occur. Most mentioned was that your crew had painted the sides of the manholes so they were visible to motorists during the construction. That was appreciated. Again, thanks for doing such good work. It makes my job so much easier.
—Richard A. Hofeld, Mayor
Village of Bradley, Illinois

You and your team did excellent work in the Village of Bradley for our MFT Maintenance Program. We have worked with you for 2 years and hope to continue working with Gallagher for a long time.

I just want to give a big thank you for the job well done this year in Manteno. Your crew and staff performed well and there was great cooperation and coordination for the project. That volume of traffic at the overpass and intersections is very difficult to manage during any construction activity, but the crew did a good job in their efforts.
