 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deep and Ariel did a great job patching a sunken spot on our driveway.  Good clean work, and the area in question now very effectively grades away from our house.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work itself was good, but scheduling needs to provide a few days advance notice in order to enable the driveway be made available, e.g. to arrange for alternate parking.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Black Tar  - responsive, quick, cost effective and gracious workers - would definitely recommend them for your paving and sealing needs!

Deep and Ariel kept me informed all day long with their tracking system and even called to detail when they would arrive.  When they did arrive they explained exactly what they were doing at each stage and at the completion gave a quick overview of the work they just completed - amazing!

I would definitely recommend Black Tar - all the staff have been attentive and amazing ... thank you,
