Able Paving And Grading Inc

Able Paving and Grading Inc is a family-run asphalt and site work contractor based at 942 Runnymede Street in East Palo Alto, California, working under California contractor state license #975380. The company handles residential and commercial paving, pavement repair, grading, concrete, and sport court construction, with more than 25 years of project experience in the Bay Area. Crews are licensed and insured, and the firm takes on both small property repairs and larger site-scale work.

Asphalt is the core of the business. New installations cover driveways, parking lots, and other vehicle surfaces, with attention to mix selection and proper placement of the bitumen and aggregate blend suited to each application. Repair work ranges from patching and pothole filling to broader pavement restoration and resurfacing overlays where a surface has deteriorated but the base remains sound. Preventive maintenance rounds out the asphalt program: crack sealing to keep water out of the pavement structure, seal coating to shield surfaces from sun and weather, and pavement striping.

Grading is treated as a discipline in its own right rather than a preliminary step. Site work includes leveling, sub-base preparation, and compaction, with slopes set so water drains off the pavement instead of collecting on it — a significant factor in how long an asphalt surface lasts. The company works to city and county specifications and coordinates with municipal engineers on inspections, and it lists public works projects alongside its private commercial work. Project managers oversee scheduling and sequencing from planning through final paving.

Beyond asphalt, the company performs concrete work for residential and commercial properties, including driveway and parking lot repairs, and installs paver hardscapes in a variety of materials and patterns.

A distinct specialty is athletic surface construction. Able Paving and Grading builds and resurfaces tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, as well as multi-use combinations, and can carry out every phase of a court project: excavation, grading, retaining walls, drainage, asphalt or concrete slabs including post-tensioned concrete, clay surfaces, fencing, color coating, and lighting. Resurfacing follows a defined sequence — cleaning the existing surface, repairing cracks and low spots with patching and leveling compounds, then applying acrylic coating layers, optional cushioned base courses, and freshly painted play lines.

Commercial clients include office complexes, retail centers, industrial facilities, and apartment communities, with typical scopes such as parking lot construction, site preparation, and pavement upgrades built to carry regular traffic loads. Residential customers are served for driveways, private roadways, and hardscape improvements.

The company is based on the Peninsula and concentrates on nearby cities including Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, Mountain View, San Carlos, San Mateo, and Foster City, while listing coverage across a broad span of Bay Area communities in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, and Solano counties.
