About Richard's Paving & Sons in Whitesboro, NY

Four Generations of Family-Owned Asphalt Expertise

Richard's Paving & Sons is a licensed and insured paving contractor serving Whitesboro, Utica, Rome, New Hartford, Clinton, and Marcy with four generations of hands-on experience since 1960. When you hire us, you work directly with Richard and his sons—not a crew that gets dropped off while ownership stays back at the office.

What started with Richard's grandfather over sixty years ago has grown into a family operation where the owners personally put the work in on every job. You'll see Richard and his sons on site handling all phases of blacktop—from initial grading and base preparation through final rolling and compaction. This hands-on approach means quality control happens in real time, not through callbacks after problems surface.

We handle all asphalt and blacktop work the same way: properly prepared base, correct drainage to move water away from structures, and attention to detail that comes from decades of experience watching how pavement performs through Central New York winters. When drainage isn't addressed correctly, water pools near foundations or creates ice problems—we make sure runoff moves where it should before the first load of asphalt arrives.

That generational knowledge makes a difference when you're evaluating base conditions or determining whether existing material can stay or needs removal. Richard learned from his grandfather and father, and his sons are learning the same way—by doing the work, not just managing it.

Locally Owned and Operating Throughout the Utica Area

Based in Whitesboro, we've built our reputation on straightforward communication and quality work throughout Oneida County. You won't get a sales pitch from someone who never picks up a shovel—you'll talk with the people who actually perform the work and can answer questions based on what they've seen on hundreds of projects.

Central New York's freeze-thaw cycles and winter weather demand proper installation from the start. Shortcuts in base preparation or drainage show up fast when temperatures swing and moisture moves through the ground. We've watched how pavement holds up across four generations of work in this area, and that experience guides decisions about material depth, grading angles, and where compaction matters most.



Being locally owned means we stand behind our work in the communities where we live and do business. When you see our trucks around Whitesboro, Utica, Rome, New Hartford, Clinton, or Marcy, Richard or one of his sons is behind the wheel heading to a job site—not a subcontractor you've never met.
