FAQ

What is the difference between Paving and Sealcoating?  

Blacktop is the initial investment of your paved driveway. The process of which a paving company layers stones, sand and hot asphalt. This rolled surface hardens and creates the flat surface you park, play and drive on.

 

Sealer protects  your investment. Driveway Sealing brushes commercial grade sealer with a strip broom by hand. This method pushes the sealer into the blacktop achieving deep penetration and a longer lasting protection from wear and weather.

How often should my blacktop be sealed and why do it? â€‹

Your upstate NY driveway should be sealed every two years. Weather, oil, gas and oxidation are enemies of your blacktop.

Seal coating extends the life of your blacktop and enhances the look with a nice dark finish. 

​

What if my driveway has oil stains and cracks? ï»¿

Our professionals can apply an oil primer which usually eliminates stains. Cracks are important to have filled right away. Filling and sealing them will prevent the spider cracks that we cannot treat.  Asphalt driveways are an investment. We want you to get the most protection for your investment. With our FREE ESTIMATES we can advise you on how to do that. 

​

How do I prepare for Driveway Sealing?​

Driveway sealing will notify you of the day your driveway will be sealed. However, keep in mind we seal multiple driveways in a day and each sealcoating project depends greatly on the weather, driveway size and condition. These factors make it difficult to determine our exact time of arrival. 

 

The only preparation of your driveway needed is to make sure it is clear of cars, basketball hoops, garbage cans, etc. 

​

If you have moss:

We kindly ask that you treat your driveway before we come to seal it. You can use a mixture of bleach and water on the moss. Let it sit until the moss dies, this might take multiple applications. Scrub the moss and hose/brush it away. This will help prevent future moss growth.​
