Esquivel Grading & Paving Inc

San Francisco, California

Asphalt Paving · Sitework & Excavation · Drainage & Grading · Commercial

Esquivel Grading & Paving Inc. has worked across the San Francisco Bay Area since 1984, operating from a San Francisco base under CSLB license 463185. The company describes itself as specializing in large municipal projects, and its work spans grading, excavation and paving rather than surfacing alone. That combination matters on sites where the finished pavement depends on what happens underneath it, and on projects where earthwork and paving are contracted together rather than split between trades. Typical projects include commercial parking lots, roadways and site preparation for new construction. Its stated clients are developers, contractors and property managers, which places it on the general-contracting side of the market rather than the small-lot maintenance side.

QA Constructors Inc

San Francisco, California

Asphalt Paving · Asphalt Repair · Sealcoating · Commercial & Residential

QA Constructors is a construction contractor based on South Van Ness Avenue in the Mission district of San Francisco, working under CSLB license A1013265. Its asphalt work splits three ways: surfacing for new and rebuilt areas, milling to remove and profile existing pavement, and patching for localized failures. Alongside that it repairs culverts and drainage, which is the kind of work that decides whether a resurfaced lot lasts or fails early from water sitting under it. Sealcoating is offered for both commercial lots and residential driveways. The company also holds Small Business Enterprise, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and California Department of Industrial Relations registrations, which matter on publicly funded work where those certifications are a condition of bidding.

Asphalt Paving · Concrete Sitework · Commercial & Residential

Lewis M. Merlo Inc. works from Grove Street in San Francisco's Western Addition, and is registered for both asphalt paving and concrete repair. The detail worth noting is the license itself. CSLB number 184527 is a low, early-series number, and the registration has been held for more than sixty years — a span that predates most of the firms on this page and that is unusual to see still active. Long license tenure is not a guarantee of anything about a specific project, but it does mean the business has stayed continuously registered through several construction cycles, which is a harder record to accumulate than it looks. Carrying both asphalt and concrete registrations matters on the kind of San Francisco work where the two meet: a lot edged by sidewalk, curb and gutter, or a paving job whose transitions and thresholds are concrete. Splitting that across two contractors is where responsibility for the joint tends to get lost. This profile was built from public business records rather than supplied by the company, so it lists no website, no crew size and no project history. Confirm current license status, insurance, and whether the firm takes work at your project's scale directly with them before requesting a proposal.
