Our Story

Two veterans, one standard

North State Paving was built by paving contractors, not salespeople. Between them, Sylvester Piona and Michael Steven bring decades of hands-on experience — the kind you only get from years on the crew, laying real asphalt in real conditions across the Bay Area.

They started the company on a simple idea: that most paving problems come down to shortcuts taken on the base, the grade, or the mix — and that a crew who genuinely cares about the craft will outlast the lowest bidder every time. That belief still runs every job we take.

Today, Sylvester and Michael are on-site and hands-on, holding every driveway, parking lot, and roadway to the same standard they'd want on their own property. When you hire us, you get the people whose names are on the company — not a subcontracted crew you've never met.

What Drives Us

The standard behind every project

The principles Sylvester and Michael hold every crew and every job to.

Veteran craftsmanship

Decades in the trade behind every crew. We've seen firsthand what makes pavement last for decades and what makes it fail in a season — and we build for the former, every time.

Quality over shortcuts

We don't subcontract out the work or shortchange the base to hit a number. Every layer — subgrade, base, and hot mix — is installed to spec so the surface holds up under real traffic and weather.

Honest, upfront pricing

The estimate you approve is the price you pay. We walk every job in person, scope it accurately, and skip the surprise change orders that show up after the roller does.

We stand behind it

Every installation comes with a written workmanship warranty. If something isn't right, we come back and make it right — our name is on the job long after the crew leaves.
