Pittore Bros. Paving LLC

Pittore Bros. Paving is a Derry, New Hampshire asphalt contractor that homeowners across southern NH call for whole-driveway tear-outs and replacements rather than patch jobs — the Better Business Bureau has had it accredited since 1995 and grades it A+, and its BBB listing runs from driveway paving and parking lots through drainage excavation, line striping and loam delivery. The praise in its review record is unusually specific about the work itself. A homeowner writing in November 2023 described a 20-year-old driveway with dips and low sections regraded flat, with the gap at the garage slab gone; a March 2023 customer who asked for custom detail and a complicated water-pitch design said the crew made it happen; and a July 2025 reviewer recounted work going back to 1996, when the same family enlarged a driveway and built granite steps for a handicap walkway. Estimates come up again and again by name: Nicole measuring on site rather than quoting from the curb, in reviews from May 2018, June 2022 and April 2025, and Al running the crew on the job. The platform numbers sit at 4.2 stars across 47 Google ratings and 4.8 across 12 reviews on each of Angi and HomeAdvisor, and a Reddit commenter answering a 2023 southern-NH paving thread simply said they had used Pittore Brothers and were happy with the work. What pulls the read down is a repeated pattern in the complaints, and it is about what happens after the paving. A 1-star reviewer in October 2023 said a new driveway held puddles after rain, the company came out once, agreed to fix it and never came back; a June 2022 reviewer said an 8-inch-deep section collapsed near the foundation the summer after installation and three calls to the office went unreturned; a November 2024 account described equipment breaking mid-job, a four-day driveway, rough frozen seams that had to be ground down, and a reseal the customer paid for; and a September 2022 caller said repeated requests for a sealcoating estimate were never returned. A December 2023 reviewer who used the company for three projects said quoting was easy but follow-up questions went unanswered. So: a long-established family crew with a deep, mostly enthusiastic driveway record and a real weak spot in callbacks and warranty follow-up. Worth asking, before booking, exactly who to call if something settles or ponds afterwards, how pitch and drainage will be handled on your grade, and whether the job is one they take at all — reviewers note they concentrate on full driveways, roads and lots.
