About Us: Porter Paving
Family-Owned Asphalt Paving Built on Trust Since 1967
Porter Paving has been helping homeowners and businesses throughout New Hampshire since 1967 with asphalt paving services built on honesty, quality workmanship, and lasting value, as a family-owned paving company serving the entire state of New Hampshire, with deep roots in the Lakes Region — including New London, Sunapee, Bristol, Franklin, Tilton, Gilford, and nearby communities.
Our promise has always been simple: do the job right the first time. Whether we’re paving a residential driveway, maintaining asphalt, repairing pavement, or completing a pickleball court installation, we bring the same pride, care, and one-on-one attention to every project.
Our Story Started With Hard Work
Porter Paving was founded on the belief that customers deserve paving work they can trust.
Since 1967, we have grown from a local paving operation into a trusted name throughout New Hampshire. The equipment has changed, the materials have improved, and the industry has evolved, but our values have stayed the same.
We still believe in showing up, communicating clearly, preparing the site correctly, and standing behind the work we do.
For us, paving is not just about asphalt. It is about helping people improve their properties, protect their investments, and feel confident they hired the right crew.
Owner-Led Work
On Every Job
One of the biggest things that sets Porter Paving apart is that our owner is on every job.
Richard, our owner and operator, works alongside our crew during preparation and installation. That hands-on leadership gives homeowners and business owners the personal attention they deserve when investing in their property.
We are one hardworking crew, and we take pride in doing things correctly from the ground up.
Proper paving starts long before the asphalt goes down. Site preparation, grading, drainage, quality materials, and proven installation techniques all matter. When those details are handled correctly, the finished surface looks better, performs better, and lasts longer.
Residential and Commercial Paving Services
Porter Paving provides asphalt paving services for homeowners, businesses, property managers, and commercial clients.
Our services include blue stone, driveway repair, porous asphalt, driveways, walkways, pickleball courts, basketball courts, and overlays.
Customers call us because their driveway is past its useful life or because they may need recommendations on how to improve their driveway or commercial property. Others need a parking lot that creates a clean, professional first impression. Some need maintenance to extend the life of existing asphalt.
No matter the project size, we approach the work with the same attention to detail and respect.
Why Customers Choose Porter Paving
Customers choose Porter Paving because they know we are honest, experienced, and committed to quality.
We provide straightforward recommendations, fair pricing, and transparent communication. We do not believe in overselling. We believe in helping customers understand what their property needs and what solution makes the most sense for longevity.
As a family-owned company, we treat every property as if it were our own and every customer as a neighbor.
That mindset has helped us earn referrals, repeat business, and long-term relationships throughout the communities we serve.
Built on Generations of Experience
Our team brings decades of combined paving experience to every job.
We understand how New Hampshire weather affects asphalt. Freeze-thaw cycles, drainage issues, heavy use, and seasonal wear can all impact the life of a driveway, parking lot, or roadway. That experience helps us make better recommendations and complete work designed for long-term performance.
Richard has spent much of his life in the paving industry. His knowledge, work ethic, and commitment to customer satisfaction help ensure each project meets the standards Porter Paving is known for.
Our Values Guide Every Project
Porter Paving is built on integrity, reliability, professionalism, accountability, and respect.
Integrity means we give honest advice. Reliability means we follow through. Professionalism means we treat customers, properties, and timelines seriously. Accountability means we take responsibility for our work. Respect means we listen, communicate, and treat people fairly.
Those values are not just words to us. They shape how we answer the phone, how we prepare a site, how we work with customers, and how we respond if a concern ever comes up.
Serving the Lakes Region and Beyond
For more than five decades, Porter Paving has proudly served customers throughout the greater Lakes Region and surrounding New Hampshire communities.
Our service areas include the Lakes Region, New London, Sunapee, Bristol, Franklin, Tilton, Gilford, Laconia, and more.
We are grateful for the trust local homeowners and businesses place in us. Many of our projects come from referrals and repeat customers, which we consider one of the strongest signs that we are doing things the right way.
