Quality work

My experience with this asphalt company was just stellar. They really prioritize quality work and customer service, and it shows. They were super quick to respond to my calls and emails, making it easy to get everything scheduled. The paving job on our driveway? Absolutely exceeded our expectations. And the cleanup afterward was the cherry on top. With their lifetime warranty and all the rave reviews on Google, you know you're in good hands. Definitely recommending them to anyone who needs paving services.

Exceptional Service and Quality Work

My wife and I did a lot of shopping around, we contacted 7 paving companies, 4 of which picked up and showed up for an estimate. Black Tar was fairly priced, but what grabbed our attention was their customer service over the phone and their responsiveness. They picked up the phone immediately and an estimator was out our house just a couple of days later. They paved my driveway last fall, and wow, they really knocked it out of the park! They promised they'd be done on time, and they totally were. Top-notch. Always got back to me super quick, whether it was a call or an email. And the driveway looks as expected. Now I get why my father in law raves about them. Def recommend them to anyone looking for driveway work in Ottawa.

Driveway asphalt removal and installation

Requested and obtained a quote from 3 separate paving companies to replace the asphalt on my driveway.
Selected Black Tar as their price was competitive and mid-range.
They were prompt, efficient, friendly and got the work done as promised and on schedule. They also performed the follow-up maintenance effectively and efficiently. Great company, great people!!
