Howard Paving Co., Inc.

Howard Paving Co., Inc. is a paving contractor founded in Hamden, Connecticut, in 1957. It is licensed, bonded and carries a liability policy in the millions, belongs to the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, its local chamber and the BBB, and puts a company officer on every job.

Residential work, where the company began, runs from a plain driveway to a cobblestone-lined drive built with heavy road equipment for single-family homes, multi-family properties and condominiums. Commercial services cover every phase from clearing the site through drainage to the final mat and striping for shopping centers, roads, factories, office and medical parking lots, churches and schools, with curbing in asphalt, concrete or granite and pavement rehabilitation plans prepared with or without the owner's engineer.

The company reclaims existing pavement in place, recycles all project waste into screened topsoil and processed aggregate, installs drainage from yard drains to detention systems, and pours floors, colored patterned concrete and slipform curbing. It sells bulk topsoil, aggregate, sand and mulch from its yard. Crews are long-tenured, not temporary, and attend annual paving seminars.
