Continental Paving is the company whose dump trucks you share the highway with, not one you call for a driveway. The Londonderry outfit, run by brothers Rick and Mark Charbonneau and family-owned since the 1970s, produces its own asphalt and aggregate and does milling, paving and site work at highway scale — the New Hampshire Executive Council has repeatedly authorized state paving and asphalt-supply contracts with it, and a 2023 Reddit post noted it was handling state work on Route 3. Its BBB grade is A+. It holds an active City of Nashua drainlayer licence for sewer and water connection work. That is why its Google page reads the way it does. Of 96 ratings averaging 3.1, nearly every written review is from a motorist, not a customer, and they describe the same things over and over from 2024 into this summer: dump trucks tailgating on I-89 and I-93, a truck doing 60 through a Spaulding Turnpike work zone in September 2025, one blowing a stop sign in Dover, another in August 2026 swerving close to a woman rollerblading in her own neighborhood. Flaggers come in for as much criticism as drivers — one commuter this June said traffic control sent him into oncoming traffic three times in one drive, and 2024 reviewers described lane closures around blind turns with little signage and a half-mile that took 30 minutes. A 2024 driver said rocks flying from the trucks cracked his windshield repeatedly and the company's insurer refused to pay; an April 2026 resident said a crew tore up the grass by his driveway and left garbage on the lawn. The few kind words come from the road too: a July 2026 commuter grateful for the crew paving Pembroke and Allenstown, a 2025 reviewer calling it the premier paving company for as long as he has been driving, and a 2024 defender pointing out that most of the complaints come from people who never hired them. OSHA's website lists an inspection of the company (1105405.015) with no detail here. If you are a municipality, a developer or a commercial owner with a large paving or site job, Continental is one of the state's established contractors and the crews finish the work. For a home driveway, ask first whether they take residential jobs at all — and whoever hires them should ask about traffic-control staffing and how truck-safety complaints are handled.

I give my ratings based on how nice people are, this place is not it. I called the office to let them know that over the past few weeks including today. I had been noticing how rude some of the flaggers at this company are, yelling at people when the workers have their phones out and aren’t turning their signs to the correct side and getting mad at people for it. I also had another incident today being yelled at because I didn’t slam on my gas the second the sign turned to “slow”. That brings me to the phone call this morning, I was trying to bring my complaint the whole complaint, to whoever I spoke with at their office and she couldn’t have been more annoyed with the fact that Il was calling to complain. Her tone changed from nice to annoyed within two seconds of figuring out I wasn’t a customer but just calling to let them know about the flaggers. “We could just keep going on and on “ she said to me not even knowing if I was done speaking. If I were the owner of one of the biggest paving companies in NH, I would give a shit, but that’s just me.
Vehicle operators are dangerous on the highway. They weave in and out of traffic with tractor trailers going well over the speed limit and treat lane as suggestions. Directionals must not be a feature in their trucks. Drivers need their licenses revoked before they cause an accident. If their carelessness operating vehicles is any indication of how they perform work then they should never be hired for another job.
I witnessed my fiancée get hit by a Continental Paving company dump trucks while she was rollerblading in our residential community to get the mail. The driver speed up, failed to yield, swerving dangerously close to hit her. When she approached the driver to ask for an apology or clarification, I saw him hold up his beer can and flip her off. Totally unsafe, unprofessional, and dangerous behavior.
I’ve been pleased with the work being done on the road that I drive to get to work. Grateful for the lady and gentleman paving the roads in Pembroke and Allenstown.
Traffic control directed me into oncoming traffic 3 seperate times in a single commute. Unsure if its just poor planning not having enough people directing traffic or if the crew is just not doing their jobs but either way; extreme danger and incompetence is what you can expect from this company evidently.
