Tarmac Paving is a Manchester, New Hampshire paving contractor serving New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts. Its site lists asphalt installation, repair, resurfacing, sealcoating, driveway work, parking-lot paving, and line striping, and claims over 15 years of industry experience, licensing and insurance, emergency service, and free same-day estimates. Many HomeAdvisor and Angi reviewers praise driveway paving, preparation, drainage, speed, cleanup, and pricing, including a 2023 account describing gravel compaction and asphalt thickness and a 2022 account describing a next-day tear-up and repave. But the record also includes a 2025 allegation of an $16,000 sealcoating quote and aggressive follow-up, a 2023 no-show and unprofessional call, and a 2022 report of three weeks without a callback. BBB reports an F grade because the business failed to respond to two complaints and says it is not accredited. Before booking, get the scope and price in writing, confirm scheduling and warranty terms, and ask how complaints are handled. The strongest fit appears to be residential driveways and parking-lot paving, but the negative complaint and communication reports warrant direct confirmation.
Grifters. They quoted me $16,000 to sealcoat an 8,000-square-foot driveway. I haggled it down to 14k, then talked to my wife (who is smart, unlike me) and she had me cancel it. Two different dudes started blowing up my phone, telling me anyone offering less was scamming me. But this is a $3-4k job, so I know who was actually scamming me. Avoid these people. And yes, I'm an idiot for shaking this guy's hand.
A neighbor was getting their driveway done and the owner of Tarmac, Howard came by and asked if we'd be interested in getting our driveway done today at a great cost, because they had the team there and all the equipment available. Within three hours they were at our house and made our driveway look brand new! The team worked fast and the outcome was fantastic! I'd highly recommend.
Tarmac did a outstanding job tearing up my old driveway and laying down a fantastic new driveway. Tarmac exceeded my expectations by miles with everything they did. From compacting the gravel to the prep work and the thickness of the asphalt. Howard and Sandy were great to work with along with all the crew. My driveway was completed on 10-17-23 I can not thank Tarmac enough for the great CLEAN workmanship they did to the driveway. Obviously I highly recommend Tarmac paving you won't be disappointed. Just look at mine.
I called the company for a quote. They took all my information and said that someone would get back to me. I get a call from Howard but could barely make out what he was saying as there were loud children in the background. If he was calling from his house, he should have found a quiet room before calling me. Said he would be over at noon but didn't show until 12:30 with no apologies. Not professional at all!!I asked some questions regarding the project but he seemed like I was bothering him. With the impression that I got, I decided to go with a different company.
We had a small family paving business back in the 80’s so I know a little but forgot most. I can tell you that this company came in much lower than 4 other quotes but because of my past experience I wasn’t worried of a lesser quality service as I was working from home during the 2 days it took them to remove the old driveway , grade and lay the new one. The job came out great and I was able to confirm my asks during the first rainstorm. Great deal great crew! Thanks
