Yeghoian Grading and Paving of Apple Valley, CA, Acquired by CA-Based Entrepreneurs

APPLE VALLEY, Calif. - Aug. 3, 2026 - PRLog -- Calder Capital, a nationwide mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, is delighted to announce the successful acquisition of Yeghoian Grading and Paving of Apple Valley, California, by individual entrepreneurs Derrick LeBlanc and Greggory Sgarlata.

Founded in 1986, Yeghoian Grading and Paving has established itself as one of the High Desert region's most respected asphalt paving, grading, sealcoating, striping, excavation, and parking lot maintenance contractors. After 28 years with the business, Bill Chaves engaged Calder Capital's Sell-Side team  to identify a qualified buyer capable of preserving the company's legacy, as he sought to spend more time with his 22 grandchildren.

Chaves' engagement led to Calder Capital marketing and advising the sale of their business to individual entrepreneurs Derrick LeBlanc and Greggory Sgarlata.

Derrick LeBlanc discovered Calder Capital's listing for Yeghoian Grading and Paving on BizBuySell. As an established business owner looking to expand his portfolio and enter the paving industry, he expressed strong interest in the company.

During the sale process, Calder's Sell-Side team recognized complementary strengths between two prospective buyers, Derrick LeBlanc and Greggory Sgarlata, and facilitated an introduction. The two ultimately partnered to acquire Yeghoian Grading and Paving, combining their experience and resources to position the company for continued growth and success.

Brad Wallace of Calder Capital served as the Lead Mergers & Acquisitions Advisor to Yeghoian Grading and Paving. Serving as Lead Analyst was Riley Hagen of Calder Capital.

Calder's Sell-Side team generated strong market interest during the sale process, with 102 Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs) distributed to qualified buyers, and multiple offers received.

"Yeghoian Grading and Paving's position within the Southern California construction industry made it a particularly attractive acquisition opportunity, and we are proud to have helped facilitate a successful transition for both the seller and buyers," commented Garrett Monroe, Calder's Sell-Side Managing Director. "Brad Wallace did an outstanding job representing our client throughout the sale process.
