Copper State Pavement, Inc.

What Copper State Pavement, Inc. does

Copper State Pavement, Inc. is a privately held commercial paving contractor founded in 2020 by USMC veteran Sean Bulmann and operating as a division of Ben's Asphalt (in business since 1960). Headquartered in Peoria, Arizona, the company delivers a full suite of asphalt and concrete pavement services — asphalt paving, sealcoating, crack sealing, concrete installation and repair, parking lot striping, asphalt patching, asphalt milling, grading and excavation, and asphalt tack spreading (via the Ben's Express sub-brand) — for commercial, industrial, and municipal clients. The company runs its own equipment and crews rather than subcontracting, and maintains contractor licences in Arizona, California, and New Mexico.

The firm's go-to-market is direct sales targeting enterprise retail tenants (Walmart, Home Depot, CVS, T-Mobile, Cracker Barrel), entertainment venues (Topgolf, Andretti Indoor Karting & Games), and municipal and federal customers (Cities of Tempe and Chandler, USPS, Safford Unified School District). Pricing is project-based with quotes generated on request; project sizes range from individual retail parking lots to multi-property maintenance programmes. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by the website (with request-a-quote workflow), Google reviews (16 reviews, 4.7-star average), industry association memberships (NAIOP, APWA, AGC, 1GPA, AASBO, AMA), and direct enterprise outreach.

The business operates as a licensed, bonded, and insured multi-state specialty-trade contractor with offices in Peoria AZ (headquarters plus yard), Houston TX, and Santa Ana CA, and coverage across 17 Arizona cities. The New Construction Division extends the offering into site preparation, grading, and earthwork. Operationally the company runs lean — 21 total employees — and revenue is not publicly disclosed; awards from Ranking Arizona in 2026 (ranked #2 for asphalt/sealcoating, #5 for Heavy Construction) provide third-party validation.
