We take great pride in our consistent and effective process. Every driveway we seal goes through the following 6-step process.

First Step: Clean the Driveway

This is the most important step as the blacktop will only adhere to a clean asphalt surface. Many sealcoating companies skimp on this step because it can be time consuming to do correctly. We take this step very seriously.

1. Edging. We will use weed wackers to remove any grass growing over the driveway’s edges.

2. Cure Oil Spots. We will treat ugly oil spots left by cars using professional-grade chemicals to ensure the stains will not seep through the sealer.

3. Wire brushing. Using handheld and mechanical wire brushes, we remove caked-on dirt and moss inside cracks and on the surface.

4. Power washing (Not Included) For especially dirty driveways, we use power washers to remove all dirt. If your driveway has areas with caked on dirt or moss, please send us images so we can determine if this is necessary, and the additional cost.

Second Step: Fill Cracks and patch holes

1. Filling cracks. We use a cold-pour crack filler called Gator Pave, a thick/rubbery crack filler, to fill larger cracks. We usually do this before sealcoating. This way, each crack is filled by Gator Pave and then covered again by the regular sealer. Gator Pave makes the cracks much less noticeable and will help prevent more cracks from forming in the winter. Smaller cracks are filled with sand in the sealer.

We include up to 50 feet of crack filling IF your total bill is under $750. If the cost exceeds $750, we include 100 feet.

2. Patching (NOT Included.) We can patch smaller holes with defined edges and meaningful depth. We use Aquaphalt, a product by Seal Master that does a great job of patching holes in driveways. The best part about Aquaphalt is that you can seal over it directly after putting it down. Sometimes, we have to use regular coal patch that cannot be sealed over for three months.

This IS NOT included in the quote. If you have a smaller hole you would like filled, send us a picture and we can let you know if we can fill it!

Third Step: Applying sealer to the driveway

We apply Tarconite, a coal tar-based blacktop from Neyra, the best material for residential driveways. We love Taconite because it is a tough material that lasts longer than oil—or latex-based sealers. It also leaves a clean black finish, unlike oil-based sealers, which leave a shiny, ugly finish. We almost always brush-apply Tarconite, but we can sometimes spray-apply the sealer. If you have a preference between these two methods, please let us know.

We have some crews that use PMM (Polymer Modified Masterseal). This is an asphalt emulsion sealer that is also an excellent product.

If you have a preference between the two, let us know! We may be able to accommodate at no extra cost.
