About us

Serving the Greater Sacramento Region Since 1977

Sierra Asphalt Inc. is a locally owned commercial paving and site improvement contractor based in Rancho Cordova, California.

Established in 1977 as an asphalt maintenance company specializing in sealcoating and crack filling, we’ve expanded over the years to provide commercial asphalt paving, pavement repairs and rehabilitation, maintenance, and related sitework throughout the Greater Sacramento region.

We work with commercial property owners and managers, general and specialty contractors, and public agencies on projects ranging from localized pavement repairs to new construction and commercial site improvements.

Experience You Can Rely On

With decades of experience in asphalt paving and commercial sitework, we understand that every project has different requirements, site conditions, and budgets.

Our approach is straightforward: understand the customer’s needs, evaluate the work, and recommend practical solutions. Whether that means repairing an existing parking lot, reconstructing deteriorated pavement, or completing a more involved site modification, our goal is to provide dependable workmanship and a sensible approach to the project.

More Than Asphalt Paving

Our capabilities extend beyond paving to include grading, aggregate base preparation, concrete improvements, drainage modifications, and ADA accessibility improvements.

Sierra Asphalt also has a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) on staff, bringing additional knowledge of accessibility requirements to our commercial site improvement projects.
