What our Customers Say About US

We Aim To Please

Con Igan

Nepean ON

Armando and crew just finished our driveway. Amazing job from start to finish, even in the plus 40 degree heat ( temperature before the asphalt, plus 150 degrees during). Amazing team! The owner Steve  is excellent to work with. All around nice bunch of guys. Would recommend them to anyone.

Bjj Smurf

Beaconhill ON

17 Stars! Had Brian, Cody & Armondo (spelling?) came to redo the driveway, grade the front yard and reset my interlock in May. They did an amazing job -beyond what I had expected. Their attention to detail, friendly nature (they put up with a lot of questions from me) and their professionalism was beyond compare. I will be asking for them again to do my backyard as I wa  blown away with their skills! Thanks again.

Dolores Sertal

Orleans ON

Very happy with the job done by A1 top hat. They were on schedule. The guys were great. They cleaned up after themselves. And the final product exceeded my expectations! I would (and have already) recommend them!

David Le Gallez

Ottawa ON

I contracted A1 Tophat Blackcoat to repave the driveway and sod the back yard of one of my rental properties I was selling. I was on a short time line. A1 Tobhat met my time time constraints and did an exemplary job on both the driveway and the sod. They were very communicative about a minor scheduling adjustment and they were still able to meet my requirement. Very happy with A1 Tophat and will hiring them for future work. Highly recommended.

Alain Ouellette

Orleans ON

Steve and his crew did a great job from Galena's initial visit to completion. We are very satisfied with the work and recommend this company.

Barb Virley

Orleans ON

Steve and his crew just finished regrading and re-surfacing our driveway. His crew were fast, courteous and did a great job. Their quote came in well under the others we had from other companies and were very happy with the work. Highly recommend

Karen Ephraim

Orleans ON

Steve and the crew were exceptional. Pleasant to deal with. Even in the intense heat and sun the crew worked super hard. The backyard and driveway are stunning. We are more than happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend them to everyone.
