Sealcoating

3. What is sealcoating and why is it important?

Sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces that shields against UV rays, water, oils, and weather damage. It helps extend the life of your driveway or parking lot and enhances its appearance.

4. How often should I sealcoat my driveway or lot?

We recommend sealcoating every 2 to 3 years, depending on traffic volume, weather conditions, and surface wear.

5. How long does sealcoating take to dry?

Typically, sealcoating takes 24 to 48 hours to fully cure under normal weather conditions. During this time, you should avoid driving or walking on the surface.

6. Can you sealcoat a new asphalt driveway?

Yes, but it’s important to wait at least 90 days after installation so the asphalt has time to cure.


Crack Filling & Asphalt Repair

7. Do you repair cracks before sealcoating?

Yes. Crack filling is a key step before sealcoating to ensure a smooth finish and prevent water from seeping into the base layer of the asphalt.

8. What kind of cracks can you repair?

We handle both narrow and wide cracks using hot rubberized crack filler, which is flexible and designed to withstand seasonal temperature changes.


Line Striping & Parking Lots

9. Do you offer line striping for parking lots?

Absolutely. We provide clean, precise line striping services for commercial lots, including handicap markings, directional arrows, and fire lane compliance.

10. Can you re-stripe existing lines?

Yes, we can re-stripe faded or worn lines and also redesign the layout if you need a new configuration.

12. When is the best time of year for sealcoating?

Spring through early fall is ideal, as temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions are needed for the best results.


Other Concerns

13. Will you clean the driveway before sealcoating?

Yes, surface preparation is part of our process. We blow and brush away dirt and debris to ensure the coating adheres properly.

We use high-quality, eco-friendly products that are safe for your property and the environment when applied properly. We take care to minimize mess and clean up after every job.
