Verified record
Continental Paving is a large, long-established New Hampshire paving and site-work contractor, family-run by brothers Rick and Mark Charbonneau out of Londonderry, with three in-state asphalt plants and decades of state, municipal, commercial, and residential paving work — including current New Hampshire DOT contracts. The company holds an active City of Nashua drainlayer license, letting it do sewer and water connection work there. The overwhelming pattern in the public record, though, is about how the company's crews and drivers behave on the road and at job sites, not the paving itself. Across dozens of reviews from 2022 through 2026, homeowners and drivers repeatedly describe dump trucks speeding, tailgating, running stop signs, and making dangerous passes — and in an August 2026 review, one person said their fiancée was hit by a company dump truck while rollerblading in their own residential community, with no apology from the driver when confronted. Traffic control at job sites draws similarly consistent complaints: drivers say they've been directed into oncoming traffic, left with no signage around blind turns, or nearly hit by trucks emerging without warning. A 2024 review describes rock damage to a windshield from a passing company truck, with the company's insurer declining to take responsibility. This isn't an old, resolved pattern — five of the last six reviews, all from 2026, describe the same kinds of incidents. A handful of reviewers who describe actual paving work done — road resurfacing in Pembroke and Allenstown, a parking lot repave — call it fast and well executed, distinct from the flood of complaints about how the crews conduct themselves in transit and around traffic control. For a homeowner weighing Continental Paving against the company's decades of paving experience and municipal-scale operation, the safety and conduct record around the actual work sites is the thing to reckon with most directly — ask pointedly about traffic control plans, driver conduct, and how property damage claims are handled before signing on, and expect the crew and truck traffic that comes with a large operation like this one.
“Continental Paving will be doing various paving related work for the State along the section of Route 3 that runs between the junction of NH Route 175 and Grapevine Cove Road.”

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.
I don't know who trained their people to drive! In the last 24 hours I watched two drivers in two different pickups at the same location make an illegal U turn into danger close on coming traffic, forcing all traffic to stop. Then, from a straight only lane, while the left turn lane had a red light, they blew the red light and made another U turn again into danger close on coming traffic. Then this morning, I watched one of their dump trucks come to a complete stop at a red light, then proceeded to turn left blocking other drivers who had a green light.
