About us

Honesty, integrity and quality workmanship since 2000

A Hampton paving company built on answering the phone, showing up when we said we would, and doing the job right.

Our story

Hampton Roads paving, since 2000

Peninsula Paving was founded in 2000 and earned its name on smaller commercial work that larger paving companies don't usually take on: parking lots, community trails, golf cart paths and repairs of every size. Founding member Andrea Lerner and partner Danny Johnson brought more than 60 years of combined heavy construction experience to the company.

We've kept our VDOT prequalification for more than a decade, and we're SWaM certified as a service-disabled veteran owned small business. Our focus is still the same: respond fast to bid requests, communicate at every step, and leave pavement we'd be proud to park on.

Today we self-perform paving and milling with our own pavers, rollers, trucks and a Wirtgen W207 mill, working for general contractors, municipalities, property managers, churches, schools and HOAs from our yard on Plum Avenue in Hampton.

Leadership

Eric Donahue, President

Eric bought Peninsula Paving in early 2025 after retiring from the US Navy SEAL Teams, where he served from 2004 to 2025, including 13 years at Naval Special Warfare Development Group. He brings the same planning, problem solving and leadership to a small business: clear scopes, crews that know the plan, and follow-through on every job.
