Question 1

What are the benefits of sealcoating my driveway?

Accepted Answer

Sealcoating protects your driveway from water, sun, and weather damage, helping prevent cracks, potholes, and early deterioration. It also fills minor surface flaws and gives your driveway a clean, refreshed look - all at a fraction of the cost of repairs or replacement.

Question 2

What kind of sealcoat do we apply?

Accepted Answer

We apply a high-quality, commercial-grade sealer that's durable, long-lasting, and eco-friendly.

Question 3

How long before I can drive on my driveway after sealcoating?

Accepted Answer

We recommend staying off the driveway for at least 48 hours.

Question 4

Can I walk on my driveway after sealcoating?

Accepted Answer

It's best to wait at least 24 hours. In warmer, sunny conditions, it may be walkable sooner, but always check that it's dry to the touch before stepping on it.

Question 5

How often should I sealcoat my pavement?

Accepted Answer

Sealcoating is recommended every 2 to 3 years to protect against weather, oil spills, and wear. The frequency can vary based on climate, traffic, and driveway condition.

Question 6

Will oil stains be removed before sealcoating?

Accepted Answer

We apply an oil spot primer to help prevent stains from affecting the new sealcoat, but not all oil stains can be fully removed.

Question 7

Are the tire marks normal?

Accepted Answer

Tire marks are normal in the first few weeks after sealcoating as the surface settles. These marks will fade over time. Avoid turning your wheels while stationary to prevent "power steering marks."

Question 8

Should I turn off my sprinklers?

Accepted Answer

Please turn off your sprinkler system at least 24 hours before sealcoating, and keep them off for a minimum of 48 hours afterward.

Question 9

Is surface preparation included before sealcoating?

Accepted Answer

Yes, surface preparation is included at no additional cost with all of our services.

Question 10

Is it normal to see plow marks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, plow marks are common, particularly on uneven asphalt. While some snow removal companies use rubber plow blade edges or adjust the plow blade height to minimize marks, uneven areas and high spots remain more prone to surface marks. However, these marks are typically cosmetic and don't affect the structural integrity of your asphalt.
