Key Takeaways
- For Construction Pros produces an annual, survey-based listing of the Top Paving Contractors; it reports years in business rather than revenue.
- The most established asphalt and paving contractor on the list is Daniel B. Krieg (93 years), followed by Ruston Paving (83 years) and Intercounty Paving (70 years).
- Twelve firms are new to the 2026 Top 40 and 22 from the 2025 Top 50 dropped off. That said, the list shrank from 50 to 40 firms, so most drop-offs reflect survey participation rather than company closures.
- Per-contractor paving revenue rebounded in 2026 to an average of $15.96 million, up 14.3% from 2025, even as total gross sales softened.
Asphalt and paving contractors keep the country moving, from driveways and parking lots to highways and tarmacs. It's a large, fragmented trade (generating roughly $23 billion a year across about 125,000 contractors) with no single firm holding even 2% of the market.
Unlike most trades, paving has no revenue-ranked national list. Engineering-News Record doesn't track it, and the industry benchmark, For Construction Pros' Top Paving Contractors, is a self-reported survey published alphabetically with years in business but no revenue. So the clearest way to rank these firms is by their staying power.
Below is the 2026 Top 40 list of asphalt and paving contractors in the US, ordered by years in business, followed by what changed from the 2025 list.
The 2026 Top 40 Asphalt and Paving Contractors, by Years in Business
Source: For Construction Pros, 2026 Top 40 Paving Contractors (survey reflecting 2025 activity), re-sorted by years in business. Years are self-reported.
What Changed From 2025 to 2026
The 2026 Top 40 is ten spots shorter than the 2025 Top 50, and because the list is a voluntary survey, most of the movement reflects who submitted data this year rather than who is or isn't succeeding.
New to the 2026 List
- Intercounty Paving (Carmel, NY)
- Bear Owen Paving (Peckville, PA)
- Yeager Asphalt (Carrollton, MI)
- Sunland Asphalt (Phoenix, AZ)
- Collegiate Sealers and Paving (Chantilly, VA)
- A.C. Moate Industries (Auburn, WA)
- Asphalt Solutions (Youngstown, OH)
- G&M New England (Sherborn, MA)
- B&G Sealcoating (Endicott, NY)
- C.V.D. Paving Corp. (Saugus, MA)
- Weaver Construction Services (Conway, SC)
- Erskine Sealcoating (Meadowbrook, WV)
On the 2025 List, but Not the 2026 List
- AAA Striping & Seal Coating
- Aegis Asphalt Construction
- All Out Parking Lots
- Alpha Paving Industries
- American Asphalt
- American Paving
- Atlas Asphalt
- Blackjack Paving
- C&R Asphalt
- KNL Industries
- PLM Paving and Concrete
- Pocono Paving
- Pro-Pave
- Rabine
- Rose Paving
- Royal Pavement Solutions
- Seal-O-Matic Pavement Solutions
- Synergy Pavement Group
- The Original DrivewayDesign
- The Paving Lady
- Tibbs Paving
- US Paver
Notably, two of the largest and best-known names, Rabine and Rose Paving, are absent from the 2026 list, almost certainly because they didn't submit survey data this cycle rather than any change in their business.
Industry Trends: 2025 vs. 2026
The aggregate numbers tell a stabilization story. The 2025 Top 50 reported $1.906 billion in total gross sales; the 2026 Top 40 reported $1.278 billion, a smaller figure largely because it covers ten fewer contractors. On a per-contractor basis, the picture improved: average paving-only revenue rose 14.3% to $15.96 million, reversing a multi-year decline that FCP had projected would continue.
The mix also shifted toward smaller-scale and residential work. Single-family work jumped to 13.1% of the average contractor's revenue (from 8.6%), driveway work rose, and highway work fell (only 10 of 40 firms did any highway work, down from 14 of 50). The maintenance-versus-new-construction split held steady at 80/20, which FCP frames as evidence that paving demand is maintenance-driven and relatively stable.

What Up-and-Coming Paving Contractors Can Learn from These Leaders
The firms that last decades in this trade tend to share three habits.
- They focus. The most durable contractors pick their services and sectors deliberately, whether commercial parking-lot maintenance, municipal roadwork, or sealcoating.
- They protect their reputation. In a fragmented market with low barriers to entry, a decades-long track record and repeat accounts are the real moat.
- They run disciplined finances. Paving is seasonal and margin-sensitive, so the survivors manage cash flow and billing tightly.
Paving contractors use Siteline's construction billing software to bill faster, smooth out seasonal cash flow, and pursue the customers that pay on time. Schedule a demo to see how Siteline would benefit your company.
