We’re based at 160 Energy Boulevard in Rocky Mount, Virginia. Our crews work across Franklin, Roanoke, Henry, Floyd, Botetourt, Pittsylvania and Bedford counties and the city of Lynchburg — including Rocky Mount, Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, Martinsville and Lynchburg. ### Are estimates free? Yes. Estimates are free for commercial, municipal and residential projects. Send a request online or call (540) 483-5606, and we’ll visit the property, measure up and give you a detailed estimate. ### Do you warranty your work? Yes. When we build a commercial job from the ground up — site prep, grading, a proper stone base and then the asphalt — it comes with a one-year workmanship warranty. Because we control every layer, we can stand behind the finished surface. We’ll go over exactly what’s covered when we give you your estimate. ### What commercial paving services do you offer? New asphalt parking lots, entrances and drive lanes; patching, crack repair and lot maintenance; sealcoating and line striping; tar-and-gravel surface treatment; grading and excavation; stonework; and parking and traffic signage. ### Do you work as a subcontractor for general contractors? Yes. We’re a dependable paving subcontractor for general contractors, and we schedule around the weather, the scope of work and the GC’s timeline. ### Do you work for cities and counties? Yes. We’ve surface-treated more than 100 alleys under the City of Roanoke’s alley contracts without a failed inspection, and we pave public lots, alleys and roads for local governments. ### What should I include with a commercial bid request? Site plans or specs if you have them, the approximate size of the area or number of parking spaces, and your target timeline or bid date. We’ll follow up to set a site visit. ### Should I choose asphalt or tar and gravel for my driveway? Asphalt gives a smooth, uniform black finish, suits neighborhood homes and typically lasts 10 to 15 years; it costs more up front, and periodic sealcoating protects it. Tar and gravel (sometimes called tar and chip) has a textured, rustic stone finish, costs less up front and typically lasts 5 to 7 years before it’s re-treated, which makes it a popular upgrade for long rural and gravel driveways. We’ll walk your driveway and recommend the right surface at no charge. ### Can you stop water from running into my garage or basement? Often, yes. Drainage problems usually come down to the grade of the driveway. We regrade and repave so water runs away from the house — like we did for a couple whose driveway had been sending rainwater into their garage and basement for years. ### Do you sealcoat driveways? Yes. Sealcoating protects an existing asphalt driveway, restores its deep black finish and helps stop small cracks from spreading. ### What happens after I request an estimate? Our office reviews your request and reaches out. We visit the property and measure up at no charge, then give you a detailed estimate. Once you approve it, we work out a start date with you. ### Is Arrington Paving hiring? Open positions are listed when you click Apply online on our careers page.

We provide on-the-job training, so tell us what you’ve done and what you want to learn. Heavy-equipment experience matters most for operator positions. ### What should I bring to an application? Just your contact information and a short note about your experience — the equipment you’ve run, any CDL, and when you can start. A résumé is welcome but not required. ## What customers say > “The City always receives fair pricing with the absolute best service.” > — Chris Price, Public Infrastructure Inspector, City of Roanoke > “After the first project, Arrington is now the only paving contractor that we use at our facility.” > — David Callis, Steel Dynamics > “The time frame was good and the price was fair, so we hired them.” > — Terrell & Cinny Barrett, Homeowners > “I appreciate the professionalism and honesty when we are going through the entire process.” > — Chris Price, Public Infrastructure Inspector, City of Roanoke > “When you hire Arrington, you are hiring the best.

Arrington Paving has worked with the City of Roanoke on its alley surface-treatment contracts for several years. Surface treatment — also called tar and gravel — resurfaces an alley with a layer of liquid asphalt covered with stone that is spread and rolled into place. Under those contracts our crew has surface-treated more than 100 alleys. None has failed the City’s inspection, and according to the City’s Public Infrastructure Inspector, the City has not had to ask us to repair any of the work from prior years.
