We recommend that you stay off your driveway for 48 hours. If you must use your driveway please allow at least 24 hours of drying time. In the spring and fall when the weather is cooler drying will take longer. Also shaded areas can take longer to dry. Try to avoid making any turns of your steering wheel as that can grind away sealcoating that may not be fully cured.

If the cracks on your driveway continue to open up then it is likely that they are deeper than they appear. A homeowner can try to fill the crack with sand or a material like FlexSeal before we arrive for service. The only permanent fix is to cut out and replace that section of driveway.

If you have small holes or pits, we can fix them using cold patch material for an additional charge. Cold patch is a temporary fix and cannot be sealcoated over. For larger areas of potholes or “chunks” taken out of the driveway we can provide a quote for repaving a section of the driveway or a complete driveway replacement.

For best results we recommend that you apply an oil primer or kitty litter on the oil stain for 24+ hours to absorb as much of the oil as possible before we come to sealcoat your driveway. If you are unable to prime the oil stain, we will try to prime it as best we can, however oil is a pesky material and we cannot offer any guarantee that it will not show through again.

If you have weeds, we recommend that you apply weed killer or scrape the weeds out before we arrive, as that will help you to get the best results after sealcoating. We will do our best to remove any weeds before sealcoating, but depending on their size and scope we may not be able to remove everything.

We cannot fix dips or sunken areas with sealcoating.  These areas would need to be cut out and repaved.

We diligently watch the weather forecast throughout each day and week.

As a general rule, if the chance of rain is 30% or greater, we may decide to postpone the sealcoating services and we will contact you the day before or the morning of your scheduled date to re-schedule your appointment.

Occaisionally, we may experience "pop up" showers that cause us to pull our crews. If that happens, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know, and to re-schedule you for another date.

We cannot sealcoat when it rains or if the pavement is wet, so we will have to postpone any sealcoating if this happens.

Oil-based sealcoating products were found to be carcinogenic and were outlawed by the EPA over 10 years ago.

Today, we use a premium commercial grade water-based coal-tar emulsion sealer. It is a water-based material but we never water down our product. We apply the material by brush and squeegee which allows the crew to control the application and get up to the edge of the asphalt.

We also have an asphalt-based material which is our “GREEN” product, available by special request, for those municipalities and/or customers that require it. This product will dry to a matte black shade and typically does not last as long in the Midwest weather.

The coal-tar based material has been approved by the FDA to be safe, and dries to a shinier black. The coal-tar sealer holds up better in the Midwest weather (especially winters).
