About us

The experienced history of Tarvia Seal is a direct benefit to the customers we serve each and every day. When Art and Ed Martino started Tarvia Seal in 1973 they had a vision in mind of the customer experience they would deliver and the quality company they would build. This ideal was engrained into their children from any early age as they worked and played along with their role models. After Ed passed away, Art and his two sons Bob and AJ Martinio continued the business. To this day, that same vision of excellence is carried out by AJ, Bob and their sister Cathy each and every day. And 40 years later, Art Martino is still a vital member of the team, hard at work bringing superior results to our clients. Why Tarvia Seal? Working with a reputable company you can count on is essential to having a successful project. For over 40 years we have been delivering superior craftsmanship and honest service to our customers.

in general both the Tarvia Seal office staff and the estimator were professional. The estimator clearly explained about the work to be done.
Before the job started, I wanted to discuss a few concerns about the properties. The work was scheduled for Friday 7/12/13. The foreman was to call me on Thursday but late Thursday when I called, she said he preferred to meet Friday morning between 7:30 and 8:00. At 8:00 no foreman so I called the company to explain that I needed to leave for work at 8:15. He finally showed up around 8:50 so we never talked.
The sealing work was done well: cracks filled, neat edges at the building foundations.
The pre-trim of the grass was excessive in some areas (see pictures). Tuesday 7/16 I called the company to express my concern and was told that one of the owners would call me. On Thursday when Bob Martino called, his general response was that the grass will grow back. His tone was more in defense of his crew than customer oriented. He didn't volunteer to admit that someone on his crew needs training about the trimming process.
On a positive note, the office staff (Debbie and Cathy) are both professional, upbeat and pleasant to deal with.
Would I hire them again? Possibly but
1) I would consider doing my own pre-trimming and
2) I would make sure that I would be there during the work
