Champion Paving, LLC

Champion Paving describes itself as a family-run southern New Hampshire asphalt paving and grading contractor doing new driveways, repairs and maintenance for homeowners in the Nashua area and just over the Massachusetts line. The company says Don Claxton founded it in 2005 after starting at 17 with a local company and spending 12 years at Mass Paving in Chelmsford and then Newport Construction in Nashua. It says Don works on every job personally, with his daughter Amanda as office manager. Its BBB grade is A+, and on Google it holds 4.6 stars from 22 ratings. A recent commenter on r/newhampshire wrote that Champion removed the existing asphalt, dug down, laid a layer of crushed rock and then two top coats, with special care to hot-rolling, and said they would hire them again. A recent commenter wrote that Champion paved their 150 foot driveway 3 years ago, excavating a foot down and putting down a solid layer of gravel, and pointed to a 5 year warranty. A recent commenter said Champion Paving did their driveway in Nashua. A recent commenter said Champion's bid was more than twice the lowest they got. A recent commenter said Champion was the lowest of three bids. A recent commenter said Champion's quote was the highest of four or so but not by much, and called the warranty a big plus. A 2024 customer said Don and crew communicated weather-related schedule shifts and that the driveway work was done promptly and cleanly, at a fair price. A 2024 customer praised a driveway extension. A 2024 1-star reviewer said the company parked its equipment on a community road in Nashua while doing a driveway in Hollis, ignored a request to move it, drove heavy equipment through at 7 am, and left debris, oil spills and road scrapes on the entry road; that reviewer also said they do not answer their phones.
