C&C Asphalt and Concrete Construction

Meet John Clements

Vice President

When it comes to building durable corporate parking structures, high-capacity municipal roadways, or heavy-duty industrial concrete foundations, your structural pavements represent a massive capital investment. Crafting a ground-level system that can reliably withstand decades of high-volume traffic and extreme seasonal ground shifting requires more than basic construction knowledge—it demands deep civil engineering insight and an unyielding commitment to material optimization. Meet John Clements, the Vice President and Co-Founder of C&C Asphalt and Concrete Construction. Since pioneering the business over two decades ago alongside Thomas Clements, John has established his enterprise as the premier, full-service asphalt and concrete contracting authority serving the region. He has built the firm on a rock-solid foundation of absolute structural precision, state-of-the-art manufacturing, and transparent customer relations.

John approaches civil paving from a highly comprehensive and technical perspective. He understands that asphalt and concrete are not merely passive surfaces; they are complex, multi-layered structural systems that depend entirely on proper sub-grade compaction, hydrological drainage design, and precise chemical mixture ratios to prevent premature cracking, rutting, and structural failure. Under his executive direction, C&C Asphalt and Concrete Construction has evolved from a dedicated local outfit into a robust, vertically integrated contracting powerhouse. By controlling their own raw material manufacturing, John ensures that every ton of material deployed onto a client’s property meets an elite, uncompromised tier of durability and safety compliance.



From Humble Beginnings to Regional Infrastructure Leaders: The C&C Legacy

True operational leadership within the heavy construction industry is forged through hand-on immersion at every physical layer of the trade. John’s distinguished career path highlights an inspiring trajectory of strategic business expansion, industrial investment, and deep local commitment:

The Foundation in Scottsboro (2002): C&C Asphalt and Concrete Construction was officially established in 2002 by Thomas and John Clements. They entered the industry as a lean, highly focused maintenance operation in Scottsboro, Alabama, specializing in professional sealcoating and surface preservation. Operating directly in the field, John mastered the chemistry of asphalt binders, developing an old-school work ethic and an intimate understanding of how environmental elements degrade structural pavements over time.

Strategic Industrial Expansion & Plant Acquisition: Driven by a relentless commitment to absolute quality control and operational independence, John and Thomas systematically expanded their operational footprint into macro-scale asphalt paving and comprehensive concrete construction. This growth culminated in a massive corporate milestone: the strategic acquisition of their own state-of-the-art asphalt manufacturing plant in Guntersville, Alabama. Subsequently relocating their corporate headquarters to the Guntersville facility, this industrial asset empowers John to direct raw material formulation directly, guaranteeing that his clients receive premium, custom-blended mixes engineered explicitly to survive intense regional heat and heavy axle loads.

Comprehensive Expertise in Asphalt & Concrete Construction

Under John’s direct executive oversight, C&C Asphalt and Concrete Construction provides a full suite of civil infrastructure and site preparation services tailored to commercial, industrial, and municipal clients alike. He manages complex project lifecycles from initial grading metrics to final line-striping configurations:

Industrial-Grade Asphalt Paving & Overlay: John specializes in heavy-duty asphalt applications, including new road construction, massive commercial parking lots, industrial logistics terminals, and municipal street updates. His paving protocols focus heavily on advanced sub-base stabilization and precision aggregate layer compaction, creating a flexible pavement structure that distributes heavy traffic loads uniformly and resists structural cracking.

Structural Concrete Engineering: To accommodate high-stress zones that demand rigid load-bearing thresholds, John directs master-level concrete installations. His division excels at pouring and reinforcing high-durability commercial loading docks, structural foundations, industrial dolly pads, and ADA-compliant pedestrian sidewalks, utilizing proper rebar placement and advanced curing compounds to eliminate structural shifting.

Proactive Pavement Maintenance & Asset Preservation: Leveraging the firm’s historical roots, John remains an expert in maximizing the operational life of existing pavement investments. He coordinates large-scale commercial sealcoating, advanced hot-rubberized crack filling, and high-performance asphalt milling and patching, protecting underlying pavement structures from destructive water intrusion and chemical oxidation.

Grounded Identity: Outdoor Enthusiasts and Dedicated Family Men

To fully understand John’s relentless drive, straight-shooting honesty, and deep sense of professional accountability, one only needs to look at his lifestyle and core values outside of the corporate office. John is a profoundly family-oriented individual who operates C&C as a proud reflection of family pride. He believes that a business partnership built on family trust naturally fosters a higher tier of integrity, an ethos that inspires him to treat every single client's capital project with the exact same financial care and strict structural oversight that he would demand for his own family’s investments.

When they can safely step away from active paving crews and the daily logistics of the Guntersville asphalt plant, you will almost certainly find John and Thomas out on the lake alongside their families. Both men are passionate outdoorsmen who recharge their mental energy by completely immersing themselves in nature and enjoying the expansive, active lifestyle that the regional waterways offer. Spending decades navigating local waters and respecting the natural landscape has fostered a deep sense of strategic patience, situational awareness, and long-term planning. John translates this exact focused discipline onto his construction sites every single day—analyzing terrain variables, planning for severe weather impacts, and executing complex infrastructural builds with a calm, steady, and calculated hand.

The C&C Advantage: Vertically Integrated, Veteran-Led Paving Mastery

Under John’s direct leadership, C&C Asphalt and Concrete Construction has completely redefined industry standards for civil contractors. John actively fights against common industry shortcuts like cutting corners on sub-base preparation, utilizing unvetted subcontracted crews, or applying diluted, low-grade sealants. By blending over two decades of practical field execution with direct ownership of an asphalt manufacturing plant, John provides an unmatched technical and economic advantage for his clients, keeping construction timelines fast, reliable, and completely predictable.

Every single project begins with an honest, comprehensive engineering evaluation and a highly transparent, itemized cost breakdown, ensuring that property owners, corporate developers, and municipal managers get exact pricing models without any hidden fees or manufactured upcharges. By putting the human element and absolute pride back into the heavy civil construction market, John has ensured that the C&C name remains permanently synonymous with trust, structural longevity, and premium asset protection throughout the entire region.
