Editorial review from Citysearch 10/22/2012

Called them and set up time. They said they check the weather forecast the day of and then canceled first appointment. Returned on a Sunday. Said we did not have to be home and I know why. THEY DO A CRAPPY JOB. The next day after their sealcoat, it rained and washed away about half of the coating. I think they used black water based paint. They have not returned my call yet. I told them on 2 voice mails this was unacceptable and the bill would not be paid until the work is complete and satisfactory. They won't answer my phone calls. more

Watch them if you use them! 9/16/2011

I paid extra $60 to have driveway cracks done first. They came a day late. There were 2 kids doing it, & luckily I watched them & saw that there were no cracks sealed. When they finished & were getting into the truck, I asked about the extra charge for work not done. They pretended not to know, & said to call the office to remove the charge. I did, they removed it, and several days later, it was back on my charge card. I called VISA & the office - & due to heavy work load, didn't have time to follow up on the paper work from VISA. Their office never fixed the problem & I ended up paying for work not done. I would NEVER recommend them! more

GREAT JOB! 7/13/2011

I saw the jobs Barreca Blactop did around my neighborhood in Sleepy Hollow. My wife was concerned as we have brick on each side of our driveway. I mentioned that to the guys when they came to the house -- 20 minutes later I had a fabulously coated driveway and no mess on the bricks. I saw the poster that mentioned the tar on the door, so I asked them if they wanted me to raise our garage door, and they said no. My wife was so pleased at how the driveway turned out. We will have Barreca do all of our recoats. more

Only use if you want them hounding you nonstop 10/15/2010

Although their actual service was ok, they will hound you with emails/calls/flyers nonstop once you use them! Seriously several emails a week without an unsubscribe option! You literally have to call them to get off the list! What a hassle! Every company needs to adverstise but they are beyond annoying!!! more

Poor Customer Service 7/18/2010

I had an appointment scheduled to have a estimate for repair and sealcoating my driveway. After the estimate was provided I could then determine if I would like the services performed. Two gentlemen showed up in a truck (communication very poor), they had no requisition for my job, however, they did have a req. for my neighbor who made their appointment 1 day after me. The gentlemen were confused and had no supplies for repairing even my neighbors driveway. Cons: Non English speaking workers, poor scheduling procedures more

One of the best in this business 5/5/2010

I have read the other reviews and disagree with all of them, in my 7 years of working with this company we have had a problem or two (most beyond their control) like the weather and always they have come back and redid the work without any questions. Their prep work was done like pro's ( cleaning,edging etc.) and I asked for extra sand in the mix and got it. I have a brick walk, a wood walk and 3) 3500 rosewood garage doors that contact the drive way and there is not a drop of seal coating on any of these. I recommend this contract to my neighbors and they have used them and guess what they continue. by the way i had used others before Pros: One time service, Quality Product more

Hire Someone Else 11/21/2009

You'll hire someone else if you don't want a mess of a job and poor customer service. I had Barreca sealcoat my driveway and they got a considerable amount of tar on my garage door and on my newly done hardscaped brick walkway. Not to mention the puddles of tar left behind that I had a neighbor walk on and track into my house three days after it was done. They obviously don't care about their quality of work!!! Pros: Inexpensive and On-time Cons: Poor quality and bad customer service more

You'll be sorry if you use these guys 10/29/2009

After over a month of rain delays, they came and sealed my driveway while it was totally wet with puddles of water on it. On top of that they splashed it all over the garage and made no attempt to clean it. I called and they did nothing. So, never again and I will do my best to let people know how terrible these people are. My drive may cure about next June, maybe. Cons: Poor quality, poor workmanship, no common sense, more

THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! 10/24/2008

I had a very expensive commercial parking lot done by them and they did a horrible job! No cracks were filled as promised and some areas looked never touched. When I called back to have someone come out and fix it, I spoke to the Owner, David, and he was so rude. He talked over me, told me his brother and him ""chuckled"" that I called back for another retouch. Basically, this guy is rude and will make you feel below him. Even when I told him he was being rude, he kept talking over me and making me feel like I was the one that did wrong! DO NOT USE THEM!!!!! They should learn how to treat their customers! more

No issues here at all, coming to do my driveway AGAIN today!! 10/10/2008

I have used Barreca Blacktop before and am very satisfied with the service and results. Each year they even send me a postcard or two and I get an email alert to remind me that it's time to do my driveway again. They are coming out today to seal it and I can't wait to see it look awesome again. If anyone complains about leaves on their driveway, they do fall off the trees while they are working, nothing you can do. (Just a suggestion) if leaves are an issues for your particular driveway, you should have them sealcoat it before autumn? Pros: Friendly customer service, reliable, affordable. more

ANOTHER EXCELLENT JOB. SOLID, PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. 7/29/2008

Have used them several times before, but was a bit concerned about negative reviews. My call was answered promptly and my concerns were discussed. I decided to go ahead. Work was performed on the morning scheduled. Workmanship was excellent, and cracks were filled as promised. Pros: Excellent Quality more

DO NOT USE!! 5/4/2008

Barreca Sealcoating is the rudest and unprofessional company I have worked with. They did an awful job. The driveway was flaking after 5 days. I paid a premium and now he will not return my calls. Pros: I really can't think of any Cons: Owner does not care. Work was sloppy and product was not good. more
