Frequently Asked Questions

Browse through some of our most frequently asked questions regarding our sealcoating program.

What is the price of sealcoating?

As your house and driveway are unique, each driveway sealing price is different. Based on the size and condition of your driveway, we use our unit pricing model to give you the fairest and most competitive price possible.

When you call or email your request for a free estimate, we immediately assign an estimator who will provide pricing as quickly as possible. The estimator will measure and evaluate your driveway, leaving a quote at your door. In many cases, special discounted pricing is available including neighborhood discounts if we perform several driveways in one neighborhood at the same time.

What about the Cracks?

Cracks are an invitation to moisture and harmful chemicals to seep into the pavement’s base and ruin your driveway. As this moisture expands and freezes, the pavement will break and the driveway will fail. To prevent this, we install a high-quality, hot applied crack and joint sealant to your cracks before seal coating. Although this crack fill is visible, the sealed cracks prevent moisture for causing further damage. The crack filling is NOT included in the sealcoat price.

How is the sealcoat applied?

We are dedicated to providing outstanding results by applying the seal coating for your driveway. For driveways, we apply sealcoat "by hand" which involves spreading the material back and forth, working the material with squeegee brooms and the evenness can be controlled and observed by at least 2 people. Essentially, we achieve the same result as our "2 coat process."

For commercial jobs, we use a proven "2 coat process." We apply the first coat with a squeegee machine and then spray a second coat.

After sealcoating, when can I park on my driveway?

Dry times for sealcoat depend on the exposure to the sun and temperatures. In most cases, you can walk and drive on the driveway within 24 hours after sealcoating.

If the schedule date changes, how will I know?

If weather or other variables affect your schedule date, one of our dedicated scheduling coordinators will contact you to discuss alternate dates.

What time will the crew arrive?

Driveway sealing depends greatly on driveway size and condition. Because our crews are performing sealcoating on several driveways per day, it is difficult to determine when they will arrive at your driveway.

What do I need to do to prepare for sealcoat?

The only thing we need from you as a customer is to clear your driveway of all vehicles, equipment, dumpster, and anything else that might effect our working process. We do not need you to clean or prepare the driveway in any way. We clean and prepare the driveway for sealing when we arrive.

When is the best time of year to sealcoat?

Sealcoating must be performed when the temperature is about 50 degrees overnight. This means that the best time to sealcoat is between the months of April and October.

When I park on my driveway, why do tire marks appear?

Because the sealcoat takes time to fully cure, tire marks sometimes appear 1 to 2 weeks after the sealcoat is applied, especially during humid summer months. After the sealcoat cures, the tire marks will disappear.
