John H. Lyman & Sons, Inc. is an earthwork and road-building contractor, as a 2023 Google customer put it, adding that they get the job done. A 2024 customer wrote about the Rollinsford job: they said they were not notified of the work, were told they did not need to move their car, and then a 5ft wide, 5ft deep ditch was dug across their driveway so they could not leave. That 2024 customer also said the workers turned off their water without notifying them and went into their gated back yard, and that they notified the State of New Hampshire and the town of Rollinsford. A 2024 customer said they dig into private property without getting permission and called the job in Rollinsford a joke. A 2024 customer said a Lyman plow came by on very short notice after 3 days of snow. A 2024 customer said one of the plow guys, Mark, helped their fiance when she got stuck in the slush, brought sand, ran a pass with the plow, helped push and would not take any money.
Where do I even begin? The Rollinsford job is the largest display of incompetence and disregard for residents I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. Between not being notified of the work being done, the blatant disregard for private property and gates, plus the attitude from the "workers" when you mention something, this whole job is a joke. I was almost hit twice in one day when the flagger was playing on his phone instead of directing traffic. When i asked if I needed to move my car, I was told no, but then a 5ft wide, 5ft deep ditch was dug across the entirety of my driveway, so I was unable to leave. The way they drive heavy machinery up and down the road, like there aren't kids and animals is absolutely disgusting. We are a home full of non-smokers that are having to pick up cigarette butts, ear plugs and trash just discarded in our driveway. The disrespect and disregard of the residents by this company is out of this world. When speaking to the self-proclaimed project manager, he basically said he can't control them. Today, and the reason I'm finally writing this, it came to a head when the workers turned off our water without notifying us and then decided to go in our back GATED yard. When I stepped outside to question why they were there, it was met with a rude answer and a threat to not turn our water back on. I've notified the State of New Hampshire, the town of Rollinsford and now you. I will make sure I let every single person I know, know how terrible this company and the workers are.
They love to dig into private property without getting permission prior. The job they are doing in Rollinsford is a joke. I’ve never witnessed a less professional crew in my life.
After 3 days of relentless snow, a Lyman plow came by to save our day on very, very short notice. Can’t say thanks enough!!
One of his plow guys helped my fiance who got stuck in the slush in her Audi got us some sand and ran a pass with his plow and helped push... and wouldn't take any money... his name was Mark ... not all heros wear capes... would definitely use this company!
Great earthwork and road building contractor. They get the job done.
