Our Story

In 1986, Mark Jones stumbled upon the asphalt maintenance industry and saw more than just blacktop — he saw an opportunity. At a time when the industry carried a tarnished reputation, Mark believed that with hard work, innovation, and integrity, he could raise the standard and carve out a name built on trust and quality.

What began with small driveway projects quickly grew into parking lots, striping, patchwork, and crack repair. As the business expanded, so did the workforce, sometimes reaching 20 field employees at the height of the season. A-1 SuperSeal became known for doing the jobs others overlooked and for delivering workmanship that lasted.

But the road wasn’t always smooth. The seasonal nature of asphalt work created real challenges — keeping employees busy in the winter meant carrying heavy costs. Refusing to settle, Mark pushed forward with new ideas, including the invention of the BeeLiner Roadway Striping Machine, a patented system that brought innovation to roadway marking.

Frustrated with the poor quality of many industry-standard materials, Mark devoted himself to finding and applying better solutions. That pursuit for durability and performance led him to develop improved application techniques and sourcing premium materials that delivered what others couldn’t: long-lasting protection and true value for customers.

Over nearly four decades, A-1 SuperSeal has partnered with municipalities, property managers, and national brands — from Johns Hopkins Hospital and Pepsi-Co to local towns, schools, and businesses. Each project has been approached with the same philosophy that started it all: common-sense solutions, quality workmanship, and a commitment to doing the job right.

Today, A-1 SuperSeal stands as a testament to Mark’s vision — a family-driven business that continues to evolve while never forgetting its roots. What began as one man’s determination to do things differently has grown into a trusted asphalt maintenance company with a legacy of excellence.
