## The honest read

Hot Top Asphalt Paving is a Londonderry, New Hampshire asphalt contractor led by Joseph Gifford. The company’s public profile identifies asphalt work, while recent customers describe driveway sealing, driveway replacement, walkways, and commercial parking-lot paving.

Reviewers report prompt quotes, clear communication, organized crews, on-time work, and clean, smooth results. A June 2026 customer said Joseph returned a quote the same day and completed the driveway within days; other customers describe two driveways and a walkway, a large parking lot, and a driveway project requiring permits and grading.

BBB lists the business as not accredited and not rated, with nine years in business. Google displays 5.0 from 11 ratings, but the review sample is small and all visible reviews are positive. Confirm project scope, permits, drainage, and written warranty terms before booking.
