A Legacy of Quality: The Story of Your Trusted Local Paving Company
Since its founding on November 26, 2001, Denny McCowan General Engineering Inc. has established itself as a premier paving company and trusted leader in excavation services across California’s Central Valley.
As a family-owned and operated business, we are built on a foundation of integrity, quality, and a multi-generational passion for the construction industry. We proudly serve residential and commercial clients throughout Tulare, Kings, Fresno, and Kern Counties.
Our Roots
The company was founded by Denny McCowan with a vision to provide high-quality work and gain lifelong customers. Denny’s expertise is deeply rooted in his family history; he was raised in the industry, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, father, and uncle, who all owned successful construction companies.
This heritage makes Denny a third-generation contractor with over 40 years of personal experience in the field. The business began humbly in the McCowans’ home, with an initial focus on grading, excavating, asphalt sealing, and establishing ourselves as a reliable paving company.
Innovation and the Future
While our values remain traditional—treating every job like it is our own—our methods are modern. As the industry has changed due to technological advances, we have adapted by training our team to use the latest GPS and automated machine control systems to ensure precision and efficiency.
The McCowan legacy is set to continue for years to come. Denny is currently training his son and daughter to take over the business as the fourth generation of contractors in the family. This commitment ensures that our clients will continue to receive the same high level of quality and dedication they expect from their preferred paving company for decades to come.
