Atlantic Asphalt Paving

Atlantic Asphalt Paving is a family-run paving contractor at 213 Bypass 28 in Derry, New Hampshire, working across southern New Hampshire. It is BBB-accredited with an A+ grade, and the Better Business Bureau lists it as family-owned and carrying a U.S. Department of Transportation licence that runs to October 2027. Most customers describe a straightforward, fast job at a competitive price. Reviewers name Rob, Dean and Antonio personally, and the recurring story is a quote given quickly, a crew that shows up on time and a driveway torn out and repaved in a single day — including harder jobs where a boulder had to come out or a slope and tight corner had to be worked around. A Reddit commenter answering a 2026 request for southern-NH paving recommendations put it simply: they did a great job and were reasonable. The complaints are fewer but they are specific and they are about the part of the job a homeowner cannot see. In a 2024 review a new-build owner dug up their driveway and reported finding only an inch to an inch and a half of stone and no subgrade; a 2021 reviewer measured under an inch of pavement on a parking pad; and a 2025 reviewer described the driveway pitched the wrong way so rain ran into the garage, cracking after two years, and said they obtained a judgment against the company. A 2022 reviewer described repeated no-shows and getting their money back in person, and a 2023 reviewer a job cancelled without notice. So the thing to nail down before booking is the base, not the finish: get the stone depth, compaction, asphalt thickness and the pitch away from the house written into the quote, agree what happens if water pools afterwards, and hold back a payment until the first heavy rain. Ask who is running your job by name — the good accounts all name the person who showed up. New Hampshire does not license or register paving contractors, so there is no state credential to check here. Proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation is the practical ask.
