    I hired Black Tar for a driveway redo and was extremely pleased with their service. They showed a high level of professionalism and the end result is stunning. The online tracking kept me well-informed of the project's progress, which was a great touch. Definitely recommending Black Tar for all driveway-related services."

    I paid for a complete driveway replacement in August of 2021, and the prep team showed up the following May to get everything ready.When they left, they said that they would return as soon as the pavers were installed.Pavers were not installed until last month.The "Paving Project Deadline" was June 30th, 2022.They are happy to keep my deposit, but not happy enough to do the work they contracted to do in 2021...When do you think that they will be embarrassed enough to do something?They had to subcontract the pavers out to someone more competent/willing to work, but the pavers were not installed properly so will need to be replaced.Can't see that happening any time soon...

As a token of appreciation for your patience and understanding, I have just sent you a free sealing visit worth $217+hst.

    *************************** Chief **************************************** Reference: Quote **** - Accepted August, 2021, Stated Final Completion Date - June 30th, 2022 Sir,I have included the bulk of your response to my complaint (** italics) as it has not yet shown up on the BBB website..."Dear *******, We sincerely apologize for the significant delays and frustrations you've experienced with your driveway replacement project.

My interlock ******* stated he spoke to you regarding ************* installation and that you are satisfied with ************* implemented.

As a CEO, I am certain that you have far more pressing items on your agenda.Also, let me say that I am grateful, both as a senior citizen and as a military veteran (Army, 1970's, Navy, 1990's, and Air Force, 2005-2008, 3b medical release), that your company offers a 5% discount for either of these instances. I will be happy to pass this letter on to all of my military brothers and sisters and to all of the *** people with whom I currently work; we all need to save money wherever we can.Sadly, due to my continuing physical situation, and the certainty that that deterioration will progress, I will not be able to do much more than get my 2019 ***** Gold Wing Touring DCT motorcycle out of storage, where it has resided since the fall of 2021, shortly after agreeing to your quote.I was, in May of 2022, when your prep crew came and did its work on my driveway, overjoyed by the prospect of riding the summer away, but my joy was short-lived.I am currently left with the prospect of asking a friend or paying someone to drive my motorcycle to my home, just so that I can park it in my garage and run a 'For Sale' notice on AutoTrader.Due to a medical accommodation, I have been designated as a 'work from home' individual, and that provides me ample time (with 24 hours notice) to meet with people during the daytime, as opposed to waiting until my return home in the evening.That being said, I look forward to meeting with you and your job-site ******* at my home in the days before your paving crew arrives, so that we can discuss the attached drawing, examine the model I have created, and go over your intended plan of execution.Also, I would welcome the inclusion of *****, the paver installer, as I value his input in this matter.Sincerely,************************
