Perrin Asphalt

What Perrin Asphalt does

Perrin Asphalt is a family-owned paving contractor founded in 1963 by Charlie and Pat Perrin and headquartered in Akron, Ohio. The company provides asphalt and concrete paving, excavation, drain installation, government project work, ADA compliance services, and on-site crushing and recycling across eight counties in Northeast Ohio (Summit, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Stark, and Wayne). The business serves government entities (cities, townships, school districts, park districts, transportation authorities, state agencies, universities, hospitals), commercial property owners, and public facilities such as churches and nursing homes, through competitive bidding and direct quote-based contracts. The firm self-describes as the largest paving contractor in the region that does not manufacture its own asphalt, supported by 400+ pieces of equipment and uninterrupted access to ODOT-approved materials.

Perrin Asphalt's core technology centers on conventional paving and excavation execution combined with specialized expertise in porous and pervious pavement systems for stormwater management. The firm operates an NRMCA-certified team for pervious concrete installation, with products capable of 3-8 gallons per minute per square foot infiltration, and porous asphalt systems with 20+ year lifespans that can eliminate detention basin requirements and reduce storm-sewer impact fees. Asphalt milling capability spans 1 to 12 inches of material removal with 100% recyclability, and the on-site crushing and recycling service supports both environmental compliance and cost efficiency. LEED program participation reinforces the environmental positioning.

The company generates project-based revenue from one-time contracts rather than recurring subscriptions, with services priced through project-by-project quotes and competitive bids, particularly for government work where bonding, insurance, and prequalification are required. Eighty-plus employees, including 15 family members across generations, provide hands-on operational oversight. The business operates with no external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and is supported by a marketing and distribution approach centered on direct outreach (phone at 330-253-1020 and website contact form) and government bidding channels.
