Abetter Asphalt 1.0
Pamela Zion founded Abetter Asphalt in 1994 as a way to provide a better life for her and her family. With some experience sealcoating and the little bit of money she had, she drove down to Florida to buy her very own sealcoating tank.
Being the perfectionist and go-getter that she is, she quickly started picking up work all over New England and for the first time in her life, started making enough money to provide the kind of life she always dreamed of providing for her family.
20+ years later, she is still one of the only women in the sealcoating business.
