History

The year was 1970, and Ed Reiff was looking for ways to keep the people in his basement waterproofing business “Desert Dry Waterproofing” busy during drought season. Staffed by men experienced in paving and concrete, Ed started Associated Paving Contractors, named with “A” to get peoples quick notice in the yellow pages. Ed’s 3 sons came into the business, with son Adam taking an interest in the paving company. Adam took over on 1981 and purchased the business from Ed in 1992. Since then Associated has grown from a small driveway paving company to a recognized leader in the industry in the Philadelphia area. In 1989 Adam saw the need for a qualified environmental contractor to meet current regulations, and started APCON Environmental Services. Today the sister companies use the APCON moniker, as Associated Paving grew to become much more than just a paving company. Today the company employee approx. 50 people and has acquired a large fleet of varied and versatile equipment and trucks. At this writing the company is planning to expand to a brand new shop and office facility to accommodate its growth.
