The name on the truck.

Santana Paving & Grading is what it says it is: Santana Noble's company, family-run out of Capitola since 2007, with family roots in Santa Cruz County that go back seventy-five years.

Santana, a father of four, makes it a point to be present at every job — a hospital campus or a two-hundred-square-foot side yard. That's not a slogan; customers mention it in their reviews. The phone gets answered seven days a week, nights included, because that's what it takes to run a business on customer satisfaction.

The work speaks for the rest: parks, schools, hospitals, city streets, and public facilities across the Bay — including paving work at the Olympic Club as it prepared to host the 2012 U.S. Open. Stellar customer service and quality drive a successful business. That has been the whole philosophy since day one.
