GENERAL FAQs

​

Do I have to be home when you come to do the work?

Absolutely not! As long as you make sure nothing is on the driveway, and remember to shut off your automatic sprinkler system, we can do the work and leave an invoice in your mailbox.  You do not have to take time off from work or reschedule your day in any way to accommodate our crew coming to provide our services.

​

What happens if it rains on my scheduled appointment day?

If we’re concerned regarding the weather, we’ll contact you to reschedule to the next available day.  If you’re not home, generally we will go ahead and pick a date for you and leave that information on your voice mail, thereby locking in your spot on the next most available date.  If that day works for you, you don’t have to call us back to confirm.  But if that day does not work for you, you can call us back during normal business hours and we can pick a new date that works better for your schedule.

​

How long do I need to stay off my driveway/parking lot?

The sealcoat goes on in a chocolate brown shade and dries black.  When it’s black, you can walk across it, but we ask you to keep your tires off for at least 24 hours.

​

What is resurfacing?
Resurfacing is adding an additional 1.5” to 2” of asphalt over the existing asphalt surface.  This is more affordable than removing/replacing the entire driveway and will result in the same appearance.  However, any existing cracks will work their way through to the new surface in approximately one to three years, and the cap itself can be expected to last approximately eight to ten years.

RESIDENTIAL FAQs

How often should I seal coat my residential driveway?
Sealer manufacturers and asphalt contractors agree that most asphalt driveways should be sealed everyone to three years.  Older driveways may require more maintenance, especially if the asphalt has gone gray.  Graying indicates the surface is oxidizing and losing the binder that holds the aggregate in the asphalt.
