Vermont Roadworks LLC, WBE– Award-Winning Vermont Paving Company For Sale
After 14 successful years of building one of Vermont’s most respected paving and asphalt maintenance companies, Tara and Fred Cheney have made the decision to offer Vermont Roadworks LLC, WBE for sale.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully established, turnkey operation with a loyal customer base, modern facilities, valuable equipment, and an outstanding reputation throughout Vermont.
Founded by Tara and Fred Cheney, Vermont Roadworks was built on hard work, integrity, and traditional Vermont values. Both owners come from farming backgrounds and understand the commitment required to build something from the ground up. Long days, early mornings, problem-solving, and perseverance have been the foundation of the company since day one.
Over the last 14 years, Vermont Roadworks has grown into a highly respected and diversified company serving residential, commercial, municipal, and federal clients throughout Vermont and surrounding states.
Services include:
• Asphalt paving
• Driveway construction
• Commercial paving
• Municipal paving projects
• Parking lot construction
• Excavation and site preparation
• Crack sealing
• Seal coating
• Line striping
• Pothole repair
• Parking lot maintenance
• Winter snow removal
One of the company’s greatest strengths is its diversification. Vermont Roadworks has repeat customers, because they can maintain and protect the asphalt long after installation. This creates recurring revenue opportunities and long-term customer relationships.
The company has received numerous awards, including Best Paving Company 2026, by Google in the state of Vermont, just this week. These awards reflect not only the quality of work performed but also the trust and loyalty of customers throughout Vermont and New England.
The sale includes valuable real estate, a state-of-the-art operational facility, dump trucks, paving equipment, rollers, striping equipment, maintenance equipment, support vehicles, shop tools, and operational systems. Everything is in place for a new owner to step in and continue operations immediately.
The decision to sell comes from a desire to simplify life and focus on family, health, and other passions. While Vermont Roadworks has been the primary focus for the last 14 years, with a background in Holistic Health Tara is also the founder of a healing arts center. In addition, Tara serves as Vice Chair of the Guilford Selectboard and is actively involved in community engagement, public service, and grassroots civic initiatives. Her commitment to leadership and community service reflects the same values that helped build Vermont Roadworks into the company it is today.
Fred was a dairy farmer and than worked for a large paving company. He has over 25 years of experience in the paving industry and has dedicated years to overseeing operations, estimating, project management, customer relationships, equipment management, and field supervision. Together, Tara and Fred have built a company they are proud of.
As new grandparents and lifelong Vermonters, they are ready to spend more time with family, reconnect with their farming roots, care for loved ones, and enjoy a more balanced lifestyle.
The decision to sell is not based on business performance. Vermont Roadworks continues to be successful, respected, and positioned for future growth. Rather, it is an opportunity to pass the torch to a new owner who can build upon the strong foundation that has already been established. This is a legacy business.
The growth potential remains substantial. Businesses like Vermont Roadworks rarely become available. With an established reputation, loyal customer base, experienced team, valuable assets, real estate, and significant growth potential, this is an exceptional opportunity for an entrepreneur, investor or contractor.
The foundation is built.
The reputation is established.
The future is yours to build.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Vermont Roadworks has established itself as one of the most recognized and respected paving companies in Southern Vermont. Through a commitment to quality workmanship, customer service, and diversification, the company has become a market leader in the region. It has received numerous state and local awards, including best in the area for the last three years, and best in the state for the past six years.
This diversified service model creates multiple revenue streams while allowing the company to maintain long-term relationships with customers throughout the life cycle of their pavement investment.
A unique advantage is the company's strong position in specialized maintenance services. Vermont Roadworks performs line striping, crack sealing, and seal coating - which few competitors in the region perform or can match. As such, there is limited direct competition within Southern Vermont. - Opportunities for Growth
- One of Vermont Roadworks’s greatest strengths is its diversified service model. Over the past 12 years, the company has intentionally developed into a one-stop solution for paving, site preparation, maintenance, and winter services.
Unlike many paving companies that focus solely on asphalt installation, Vermont Roadworks provides complete project management from excavation and site preparation through paving and long-term maintenance.
Very few competitors in the region offer line striping, crack sealing, seal coating, and infrared pothole repair services, creating substantial opportunities for market expansion and increased recurring revenue.
The infrastructure, reputation, equipment, and customer relationships are already in place. The next owner will have the opportunity to scale operations substantially and potentially grow from one or two crews to multiple crews serving Vermont and the broader New England market.
