Manny R Paving & Contracting Inc

Manny R Paving & Contracting is an East Taunton, Massachusetts asphalt paving contractor run by President Manuel Rodriguez, offering driveway paving and repairs, sealcoating and crack sealing, pavement markings, parking lot maintenance, and asphalt trucking across southeastern Massachusetts. Its own marketing claims 'Excellence in Paving Since 1985' and 41 years in business, but its Better Business Bureau profile shows the company was incorporated in 2014 — the two accounts of the company's history are far apart, and the more recent one is the one BBB itself records. The review record is genuinely mixed, and Google shows a 3.6-star average from 22 ratings. Several 2024 and 2025 reviews describe driveway jobs completed on time, at competitive prices, with professional and courteous crews — one customer said Manny personally handled two of their driveways and recommended him without hesitation. But a run of specific, serious complaints sits alongside that praise. A 2022 review described paying for 2 inches of asphalt thickness and receiving roughly half that, which has since broken up. A 2024 review described a driveway from three years earlier with plants growing through the surface, and said the company characterized it as a maintenance issue rather than a defect. A 2023 review described the company failing to follow through on a scheduling commitment it had promised to honor, and a separate 2023 review described a company driver operating recklessly in a parking lot, nearly hitting other vehicles and a pedestrian. Given the split record, the underdelivered-thickness complaint in particular, and the unresolved discrepancy about how long the company has actually operated, anyone hiring for a paving job here should get the specified asphalt depth and materials in writing, confirm the timeline in writing too, and ask for recent references before signing anything.
