Question 1

What is Sealcoating?

Accepted Answer

Sealcoating is the process of applying a protective layer over asphalt surfaces, such as driveways and parking lots, to protect them from damage caused by water, UV rays, chemicals, and daily wear and tear. It extends the life of the asphalt and enhances its appearance by providing the signature "jet black" finish.

Question 2

Why should I choose asphalt emulsion over coal tar?

Accepted Answer

Asphalt emulsion is a safer, environmentally-friendly alternative to coal tar sealers. It does not off-gas harmful toxic fumes and is safe for children, pets, and the environment. Our asphalt emulsion sealer provides the same protection as coal tar, with none of the health or environmental concerns.

Question 3

How often should I sealcoat my driveway?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to sealcoat your driveway every 2-3 years, depending on the level of traffic and environmental conditions. Regular sealcoating helps maintain the appearance and durability of your asphalt surface, and can extend your driveway's useful life by an additional 20+ years.

Question 4

Will sealcoating fix the cracks in my driveway?

Accepted Answer

Sealcoating provides a protective layer but does not fill large cracks. Before applying sealer, we will fill any cracks in your driveway to provide a smooth finish and prevent further damage.

Question 5

How long will my driveway last after sealcoating?

Accepted Answer

With regular maintenance and proper care, a sealcoated driveway can last over 40 years, significantly extending the life of the asphalt compared to an untreated surface.

Question 6

How much does sealcoating cost?

The cost of sealcoating varies based on the size of your driveway, and the condition of the asphalt. We offer free estimates to give you a clear idea of the cost for protecting your driveway.
