## The honest read

Glidden Excavating & Paving describes itself on its website as an employee-owned construction and paving business located in Gorham, Maine, founded in 1986. The same site says the company specializes in municipal and MaineDOT work.

The company's own Better Business Bureau description lists residential driveway and excavation contracting alongside commercial parking lot paving and snow plowing and removal.

A 2025 Google reviewer described a company pickup truck that did not move over while the reviewer was merging onto the turnpike in Auburn, and said they were forced to slow down abruptly.

**Concerns:**
- Road conduct — a 2025 reviewer described an unsafe merge with a company truck
