Ninth Generation

5416. Alvin Bryant Veirs was born on 12 March 1922 in Washington, DC. He died on 23 October 1994 at the age of 72 in Gaithersburg, Montgomery, MD. He had Social Security Number 578-24-5009. Alvin was an A.B. Veirs and Sons, Inc. Paving in Rockville, Montgomery, MD. Since 1947, AB Veirs and Sons, Inc. has been family owned and operated. Our Veirs family has a long history in the greater Washington area, starting in Rockville, MD going back to 1677. Several generations later, Samuel Clark Veirs built the "Veirs Mill," which was owned and operated by our family where present-day Veirs Mill Road is located.

AB (Alvin) started the paving company with one dump truck hauling stone. From there, he grew the operations to a full service asphalt company. The company was located off of Route 28 in Rockville, MD by exit 6 on 270. The area used to be the Veirs farm, but has since been sold and developed into the Rockshire neighborhood. We (Michael, Billy, and Jimmy) grew up working for the company right in our own backyard. In 1980, the three brothers started managing A.B. Veirs, Inc. Then in 1990, we achieved full ownership, and it became A.B. Veirs and Sons, Inc. At that point, we moved operations to our current location in Gaithersburg, MD.
Throughout the years, we have had the privilege of working with some excellent employees who are the best at their jobs as we have ever seen. Our current crews are even better than ever, and we have all managed to keep two things consistent: our commitment to quality and our corporate culture. Our culture is best described as a large family: a lot of fun, strong relationships between everyone, and no fear of politely notifying another employee if there is a better way to accomplish the task at hand! And we do have fun on the job - on a lot of jobs, we will be out there with our guys helping out as an operator, laborer, grade setter, truck director, or a supervisor discussing the plan with the owner. We strongly believe that our culture and heavy involvement in every job has led to our consistent reputation and ability to produce the highest quality outcome.
Our current quality and attention to detail is higher than ever. We are the proud employers of the third generation of "Veirs" working in asphalt. Their job descriptions include everything from laborer to operator to foreman. This ensures the "grass-roots" approach to maintaining our culture and quality.
Our sense of pride is contagious to all of our employees. This empowers every employee to feel a sense of pride and ownership in their work. This combined with their experience and training proves them to be a huge asset to our company. We believe that if our employees come first, you as the customer will get the best products and service in the industry.
