From humble beginnings the company has risen to the challenge of making road travel in Texas a safe and pleasant experience since being established in 1974.

The firm handles engineering site construction concrete work paving and aggregate materials for various infrastructure needs around the area while serving as an equal opportunity employer with solid benefits packages in place.

They manage site access concerns such as the call from Dane Penn about difficult entry to a street during work on FM 123 which led to a quick direction to the right contact and a returned message inside an hour. At the same time reports detail problems like Roberto Rodriguez noting a truck on Highway 183 turning into Water Street in Gonzales exceeding the 45 mile per hour limit at 5 PM on December 1 2022 with plate NJC 0598 recorded or Eric Summerlin describing a southbound driver on Hwy 173 tailgating passing at high speed and hitting 70 plus in a 55 zone on January 20 2023. Ryan Jeffords highlighted the eleven year delay on the FM 1103 expansion in Cibolo hired through TxDOT after a 2014 bond vote leaving the existing road crumbling with little forward movement.

“You’ll need to tell your drivers to slow down. It is December 1, 2022 @ 5 PM on Highway 183 which it turns to Water Street when you pass through Gonzales speed limit 45 miles an hour your truck passed me like I was standing still was able to get his TXLP# NJC-0598 when we got to red light”

“It’s Jan 20, 2023 @ 3:15 and one of your drivers traveling south on Hwy 173 almost went head on with two different vehicles, tailgated vehicles, then proceeded at 70+mph through a 55mph area. Your drivers are going to cause an accident and when the lawyers see these post they’ll know your company has a history of it. Good luck!”

“I want to thank your employees for their hard work. I called Hunter Industries about access to our street being difficult due to ongoing construction on FM 123. I was promptly directed to the appropriate person to leave a message, and within an hour my voicemail was returned. This person was already on sight and actively working to improve the access point to our street. By the time I headed home from work the access had been fully restored and improved. Thank you for your hard work, prompt response, and for keeping my family safer on the road!”

“Hunter was hired by TxDOT when the city of Cibolo voted to approve a bond to expand FM-1103 in 2014. For the past 11 years, the progress on this expansion project has been so slow that it has caused significant frustration within the city. The existing road is crumbling and ALL progress has been non-existant. I keep getting emails that construction is going to resume but nothing happens. This project is an absolute disaster and as a citizen of Cibolo, I am forced to suffer because Hunter can get their act straight and GET STARTED. Enough excuses already - it's time to get this project going.”

“FM1660... From someone with a background in civil engineering, whoever is in charge of this project should be fired. The amount of time it is taking them to complete 2 miles of two-lane road is just pathetic... The only thing these workers do all day is keep people waiting to be escorted thru (controlled traffic) so they can maintain a dirt road, instead of finishing the job and moving on. Why wasn't the road closed after covering it with fresh tar? $3000 in damage was done to my truck (and more than 60 other vehicles) as a result of their incompetence. I wouldn't contract this company to pave 2ft of sidewalk let alone a public road.”
