Our Story

30+ Years Paving Northern California

Family-owned. Owner on every job. Built on the belief that great paving starts with an honest quote and ends with a surface that outlasts the warranty.

Who We Are

Bay Area’s Most Trusted Paving Team

Bay Area Grading & Paving has been serving homeowners, businesses, wineries, and municipalities across Sonoma, Marin, and Napa Counties since the mid-1990s. What started as a small grading operation has grown into a full-service asphalt company — but we’ve never lost the family-owned approach that built our reputation.

The owner is on every job. Not just at the estimate, not just for the first day — on the job from start to finish. That means decisions are made by someone who takes pride in the work, not a crew manager reading off a clipboard.

We work across the full spectrum: residential driveways and estate roads, commercial parking lots and retail centers, winery access roads in Napa and Sonoma, hillside properties in Marin. Same standards, same crew, same result regardless of project size.

Why Choose Us

What Makes Us Different

Honest Estimates

We quote what the job actually costs — base thickness, drainage work, and all. No low-ball to win the bid and upcharge later.

Built to Last

We don’t cut corners on base prep — the invisible work that determines whether your pavement lasts 10 years or 30.

Local Knowledge

30+ years in Sonoma, Marin, and Napa means we know the clay soils, hillside drainage, and coastal conditions that affect paving here.

Owner On Site

You’re not handed off to a sub-crew after the estimate. The owner is present on every job from day one to closeout.

Full Service

Grading, paving, sealing, striping, ADA compliance — one contractor handles the full scope. No coordinating multiple subs.
