Success in construction is built with years of steady effort, smart choices, and a strong work ethic. Alan Santana, founder of Bay Cities Paving Inc., did exactly that. He proved that dedication and discipline can create a lasting business.
Alan Santana started his company on December 1, 1989. After a career-ending accident, he chose a new path. He turned his passion for paving into a profession. That decision changed his life and the lives of many clients across Southern California.
Today, Alan is recognized as one of the leaders behind a company ranked among America’s top 1,000 contractors, a recognition that highlights years of honest work. It reflects a reputation built on craftsmanship, quality, and service.
He believes: Do the job right. Respect the client. Deliver what is promised.
He once said, “Many of these paving projects failed due to contractors cutting corners with the initial contracted scope of work.” Bay Cities Paving does not cut corners. Every project follows a clear scope of work with no shortcuts or hidden costs.
Alan Santana’s Leadership and Industry Impact
Under Alan’s leadership, Bay Cities Paving has grown over the past 36 years. The team members combined bring more than 100 years of experience to every paving project. Alan places a strong value on educating property managers and clients alike. He offers training seminars upon request so that property managers will understand the process for asphalt repairs or work on the parking lots they manage. These seminars help them spot hazards early and prevent trip-and-fall accidents. Bay Cities will also point out any ADA violations during site visits. This will help to protect the property owners from frivolous lawsuits.
Bay Cities Paving is an ADA and HCP specialist, handling everything from compliant walkways to parking stalls to do it all. The company holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and is properly licensed, insured, and bonded. They have 5 Star ratings on YELP and Google consistently.
