What Sealcoating Can’t Do!!
No matter how great our work is, some pavement issues are beyond our control. This info should clarify misconceptions about seal coating.
Scheduling
All scheduled jobs are subject to change due to current weather conditions and/or the weather forecast. In our trade, we are somewhat reliant on the weather. Due to the nature of our work we are unable to provide the exact time during the day that your job will be done. The first job of the day is at 8 am (the only time we can guarantee) and that will determine the rest of the day’s job order. Each job is unique: some jobs can take one hour while others may take four hours. We will progress from one job to the next. We will estimate how long jobs will take. We hope this helps explain our working schedule. You do not need to be home for us to begin working. Please make sure the area being sealed is cleared out. Please remember to shut off lawn sprinklers the day before and the day after. Payment can be made upon completion of work unless otherwise stated.

Uneven or Un-level Pavement
Sealcoat won’t fix uneven or un-level pavement. If there is a dent, bump or depression in your pavement the sealer will not level it out.
​
Surface Cracks / Alligatoring Asphalt
Lots of pavements have small surface cracks or alligatored areas. These areas will look like spider webs of many smaller cracks. The sealer will not hide them. We will seal coat over them but the sealer will not fill them, make them level or make them unnoticeable.
Our Process
Step One
We start by edging your pavement to remove any overgrown grass or weeds, and cleaning your driveway surface with power blowers and brooms which remove all loose debris. We do this because the area being seal coated needs to be clean of debris, sand, mud, and water to provide for proper adherence to the asphalt that will create longer-lasting results.
Step Two
Next, we edge your driveway with asphalt sealer. This is done by taking small edging brooms and coating around the edges of your garage doors, brick walls, concrete or anything else that is not to be covered in sealer, to give it a professional look and finish it off by making a neat line with asphalt sealer at the end of the driveway or parking lot.
Step Three
Now that your pavement is completely seal-coated we flag off the area seal-coated so that traffic doesn’t enter the area until the sealer is dry. Please allow 24-48 hours before driving on your asphalt. You can walk on it when it gives off a flat dry finish.
Disclaimer
Sealcoating is not intended to repair any aspect of the asphalt surface or base. Sealcoating will not level off depressions, remove humps, or repair broken asphalt or concrete. We are not able to fill gaps between any type of concrete slab, foundation or stone wall. The customer is responsible for the removal of all cars from the work site prior to the commencement of work. Worksites must be clear of overhanging bushes, ground cover, play chalk, mold and or moss, and other items such as basketball hoops etc.
