About Us
Founded by Hank Green, a hands-on pavement expert
Founded by Hank Green, a hands-on pavement expert with over 15 years of experience battling Michigan’s toughest freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic wear, MaxBlack LLC was born from frustration with an industry that prioritizes speed over longevity. Hank’s solution? A company built on three non-negotiables: integrity (transparent pricing, no hidden fees), commercial-grade materials (like coal-tar emulsions with 35% higher solids content than retail products), and proven techniques (proper crack routing before filling, spray systems for even sealcoat application).
What began as one truck and an unwavering commitment to quality has grown into Southeast Michigan’s trusted name in pavement preservation, serving everything from historic neighborhood driveways in Inkster to 50,000 sq. ft. industrial lots in Metro Detroit. Today, Hank still personally oversees mix temperatures, surface prep, and final inspections on every project—because he knows Michigan pavement demands more than generic solutions.
Homeowners and businesses choose MaxBlack for what we don’t do: we don’t water down sealants to stretch profits, don’t ignore substrate issues before coating, and don’t believe in "good enough." Our 97% client retention rate proves that when you combine Hank’s field expertise with military-grade precision, pavement isn’t just maintained—it’s future-proofed.
At MaxBlack, we don’t just maintain pavement—we protect investments. Our mission is to deliver solutions engineered for Michigan’s harsh climate, using top-tier materials and precision techniques that outlast the competition. We replace short-term fixes with long-term protection, saving property owners thousands in avoidable repairs. But we’re not just solving pavement problems; we’re raising industry standards. Our vision is a Michigan where every driveway, parking lot, and roadway receives care worthy of its value—because when pavement thrives, communities thrive. From residential sealcoating to commercial striping, we’re redefining what "quality" means in asphalt maintenance, one honest job at a time.
