From One Man’s Vision to Fifty Years of Commercial Paving
In 1974, Freddie Satterfield left a comfortable corporate career to pursue the American Dream of building his own business in Durham, North Carolina. He believed the key to success was sharing his customers’ vision at every stage of the paving process, and that principle still guides the company today.
Over the decades, Freddie built a strong foundation for the business, later partnering with his son Trent to lead the company through its next chapter of growth. Today, under new leadership, Satterfield Paving continues to build on that legacy while expanding its reach across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
The Leadership Behind the Work
Nick Buege, CEO
Nick holds an MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management and brings a background in finance, operations, and entrepreneurship to Satterfield Paving. He leads the company with a focus on building the right team, running projects with discipline, and growing Satterfield’s presence across the Southeast without compromising the standards the company was built on.
The Leadership Behind the Work
Satterfield Paving specializes in commercial asphalt paving, milling, overlay, patching, crack filling, seal coating, concrete work, and striping. We serve a wide range of clients, including property management companies, HOA communities, retail and hospitality groups, industrial and warehouse facilities, healthcare and education campuses, and government and municipal agencies.
With over five decades of experience in the Southeast, we combine seasoned field crews with modern project management systems to deliver projects on time, on budget, and to a standard our clients can count on.
What Every Job Comes Down To
We are committed to making our customers’ ground a place of pride. That means planning smart, teaming up to deliver quality work in a respectful and safe manner, and adapting when needed, all to earn the trust of our customers, suppliers, and teammates.
Trust is Earned. We Protect It on Every Job.
Quality, integrity, safety, and expertise are embedded in how we operate every day. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Pave the Way
We take personal accountability for every project from the first call to the final walkthrough. We do not wait to be asked. We anticipate, we lead, and we own the outcome.
Team Up
Our project managers and field crews operate as one unit. Clear communication throughout, seamless coordination between teams, and no gaps between what was promised and what was delivered.
Built on Respect
Respect for the craft means using the right techniques. Respect for our crews means keeping every site safe. Respect for our customers means showing up on time, keeping a clean site, and honoring every commitment we make.
Deliver Quality
We use top-grade materials and proven methods because we want our work to last and because we stand behind every job we complete.
Safety is Not Optional
Every person on our team goes home safe at the end of the day. We run daily job site briefings, maintain our equipment properly, and operate a culture where any team member can stop work the moment something looks wrong.
Trust is Earned
We earn trust through transparent quotes, honest answers, and projects delivered to the standard we committed to from day one. It is the most valuable thing we build with every client, every supplier, and every teammate.
Plan Smart, Adapt Fast
The best paving jobs are won before the trucks arrive. We plan thoroughly upfront, and when conditions change on site, we have the experience to adapt without losing pace or quality.
A Legacy Worth Protecting
Satterfield Paving has been a trusted name in commercial paving for five decades. That kind of reputation is not built overnight, and it is not maintained without effort. Every project we take on, every crew we put on site, and every commitment we make to a client is held to the same standard Freddie set when he started this company in 1974.
That is what our customers, suppliers, and teammates can expect from us on every single job.
