The work itself was done well. However, when the driveway was replaced, the company damaged my garage door. It has a dent, with tar and blacktop embedded in the door from their machine. Not only did they not notify me when they did the damage (I was at work), they will not call me or come over to discuss the damage, and how they will repair it. This company is refusing to take any responsibility for this damage, claiming there is no way they could have done it. Unfortunately, this company was picked by my Homeowners Assocation; I never would have chosen a company that does not have a BBB rating.

Exceptionally well, from the first contact phone call to the finished product. They were quick to respond, always returned calls in a timely manner and did the job when they said they would. The driveway is beautiful and they cleaned up before leaving the job site. I will use them in the future and will definitely recommond they to family and friends!

Sealcoating job is good. The cold patch did not completely cover the area. I still have holes where water leaks. I called the office after the job and asked for someone to come out and fix the patch job. I never heard from them again. Don't expect any follow up to problems!
Response from BLACKOUT SEALCOATING INC
"I WOULD LIKE TO DEFEND OUR COMPANY BY SAYING THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS NOT CHARGED FOR THE COLD PATCH BECAUSE OUR COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE COLD PATCH BECAUSE IT IS A TEMPORARY FIX & MAY NOT WORK THE WAY HOMEOWNERS EXPECT IT TO. I WAS CONTACTED BY THE CUSTOMER & DID GO BACK OUT & LOOK AT HIS DRIVEWAY & THE COLD PATCH WAS FINE AND MAY NOT HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM THE WAY THE CUSTOMER EXPECTED IT TO. THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE AS TO WHY OUR COMPANY DOES NOT CHARGE FOR COLD PATCHING OR COLD POUR CRACK FILLING THESE ITEMS ARE A TEMPORARY FIX & MAY NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CITIES & TOWNS PUT COLD PATCH ON THE STREETS IT DOESN'T LAST VERY LONG. IN RESPONSE TO THE LOW GRADE GIVEN ON RESPONSIVENESS I DID CONTACT THE CUSTOMER BACK AND LEFT A VOICE MAIL & NEVER HEARD BACK FROM HIM AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS CUSTOMER FELT THAT HE OVERPAID WAS IT FOR THE SEALCOATING OR WAS IT FOR THE COLD PATCH THAT OUR COMPANY DID NOT CHARGE HIM FOR WHICH IT SHOWS ON HIS CONTRACT. HE WAS ONLY CHARGED FOR SEALCOATING. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM OUR PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ON THIS SITE WE DO RESPOND TO ANY PROBLEMS THAT COME UP. I'M SORRY THAT THIS CUSTOMER FEELS THE WAY HE DOES ABOUT OUR COMPANY. WE STRIVE TO SATISFY OUR CUSTOMERS NEEDS."

Kim is an active participant in her company. She returned our call promptly and provided a written estimate/contract within a week. We were informed that they would schedule the job and would notify us of the date of the service. Kim notified us the night before the work was to be done and told us that we didn't need to be home. The next day, while we were out, the work was accomplished and the invoice was left in the door. Blackout did a very nice job. We have some pitting from over application by a different company. Kim did not take advantage and try to sell us a new driveway. She said our driveway was in good shape, but did not look so great because of the extra thick layers of coating that had been misapplied by the previous company. I VERY much appreciated her ethics and integrity. I'll be using her company every two year for my sealcoating.

Blackout was responsive in returning my call and scheduled service within the week. The team that performed the work arrived when scheduled, took great care preparing the driveway and edges and overall it looks fantastic. We've had multiple compliments from neighbors.

THE EXPERIENCE WAS POSITIVE. THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL, BUT THE JOB WAS STARTED A BIT LATER, THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED.

What a great company to have every year! They called to set up the appt., was prompt and the work was excellent! The workers were friendly, efficient, and the driveway looked great! The owner came to my door as she does each year to see if I was satisfied or if there were any issues. She makes the effort to know her customers, not just take a check and good-bye! I am very happy with this company, and plan to stay with their service!

They do a great job! The preparation is really well done. The actual sealcoat is complete and extremely neat. I took the quality of their work for granted until, through an odd circumstance, I had another company do the sealcoating last year. There was no comparison in the quality of the work and the quality of the sealcoat material. Blackout's sealcoat always lasted through brutal winters and hot summers. My sealcoating from last year did not last through the year.

BLACKOUT IS REASONABLE IN PRICE, THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK IS BETTER THAN ANY I HAVE HAD IN THE PAST. THEY ARE A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH. THEY HAVE SEALCOATED MY DRIVEWAY FOR 2 YEARS NOW. THIS YEAR THEY OFFERED A $10 DISCOUNT FOR MY JOB WITH A COUPON I FOUND IN A LOCAL FLYER.
