Star Paving Company

What Star Paving Company does

Star Paving Company is a family-owned asphalt, concrete, earthwork, and utility contractor headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, operating as a Division of The Cruz Corporation since 1956. The company delivers site preparation, new paving construction, overlays, pulverization and repaving, sealcoating, crack filling, decorative and flatwork concrete, excavation, grading, and underground utility installation, plus recycled asphalt product (RAP) sales for pickup or delivery. It serves three primary customer segments — residential homeowners, commercial enterprises, and government/public works clients — across more than a dozen New Mexico markets including the Albuquerque metro, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Taos, Gallup, Farmington, and several tribal pueblos. Notable enterprise and government customers include Fidelity, Sysco Foods, Santa Ana Star Hotel & Casino, City of Albuquerque, NM Department of Transportation, Santa Ana Pueblo, and Pueblo of Zia.

The business model is project-based, quote-driven, and transactionally discrete: every engagement is a one-time contract with no recurring revenue stream, and pricing is determined per project scope through free estimates. Star Paving runs an entirely direct go-to-market motion via phone (1-800 ASPHALT), website quote forms, and sales specialists, with supplementary content marketing through a blog and Facebook/Instagram presence. Operationally, the company self-performs all major scopes with a full fleet of heavy construction equipment and 3D digital modeling software for estimating, which together enable execution across a wide project-size range — consistent with its "Large or Small We Do All" positioning. Capital structure is private and family-controlled under The Cruz Corporation with no disclosed institutional investment, M&A activity, or funding rounds.

Regional players

• AUI, Inc. Albuquerque-based contractor providing site preparation, underground utilities, and heavy civil construction across New Mexico. Direct regional competitor to Star Paving's earthwork and utility service line within the same Albuquerque market.

Direct peers

• Construction Partners, Inc. Public civil infrastructure company operating across the Sunbelt with asphalt paving, site preparation, and utility services as core offerings. Closely mirrors Star Paving's integrated asphalt + earthwork + utility self-perform model and federal/state highway customer mix.
• Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. Heavy civil construction company with e-infrastructure, transportation, and building services segments. Its transportation solutions business (formerly Petillo) operates as a regional paving and sitework contractor comparable to Star Paving's integrated service lines.
• Rieth-Riley Construction Co., Inc. Family-founded, multi-generation asphalt paving, site work, and aggregate supplier operating across Indiana and the Midwest. Closely mirrors Star Paving's family-owned roots, integrated paving + earthwork model, and regional highway/municipal customer base.
• Knife River Corporation: Aggregates, asphalt, and construction services company serving public and private customers across the western and central U.S. Comparable business model combining materials production and paving services, with significant highway and municipal contract exposure similar to Star Paving's public works book.

Broad incumbents

• Vulcan Materials Company: Largest producer of construction aggregates in the U.S., with vertically integrated asphalt production and paving services. Competes indirectly with Star Paving on highway and commercial projects through its asphalt mix supply and contracting operations.
• Primoris Services Corporation: Infrastructure construction firm with utilities, energy, and civil operations including site preparation and paving. Comparable in performing turnkey civil work for municipalities and private developers, though with broader scope and larger scale than Star Paving.
• Granite Construction Incorporated: Large diversified heavy civil contractor with material production and paving operations across the U.S. Overlaps with Star Paving's highway, earthwork, and utility work but at substantially greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Summit Materials, Inc. Vertically integrated construction materials supplier with aggregates, cement, ready-mix concrete, and paving operations across North America. Overlaps with Star Paving on aggregates sourcing and asphalt paving in adjacent geographies.
• Astec Industries, Inc. Manufacturer of equipment and components used in asphalt road building, aggregate processing, and concrete production. While an equipment supplier rather than a contractor, it serves the same end market and customer base as Star Paving and is a relevant comparable for industry dynamics.
