from Global Economic Press · host Global Economic Press

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the remarkable achievements of Taylor Ridge Paving & Construction, recently named the number one paving contractor in Davenport, Iowa, by Small Business Trendsetters. The company, founded by Chris Dowell in 2011, has excelled in various criteria such as customer ratings, Better Business Bureau standing, and financial accountability. Dowell's journey from a laborer to the youngest paving foreman in the Quad Cities and eventually the founder of Taylor Ridge is a testament to his commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The company operates with a robust infrastructure, including seven crews and ownership of the Superior Asphalt Plant, which allows them to control the entire paving process and ensure consistent quality. Taylor Ridge Paving & Construction's portfolio includes commercial and industrial projects for clients like Walmart, Steak 'n Shake, and MercyOne Genesis Health Systems. The company's stability and financial credentials make it a reliable partner for long-term projects, offering zero money down and meeting government accountability standards. The Small Business Trendsetters article highlights the importance of name continuity, which Taylor Ridge has maintained since its inception, as a sign of contractor accountability. Chris Dowell also authored "The Pavement Trap," a book guiding property managers and business owners through the pitfalls of hiring low-bid contractors.
