One Coat Service

Description

dropdown icon

Best For: Driveways that are in good condition with none to minimal surface defects.

This option is best for driveways in very good condition that do not have significant defects such as cracking, fractures, oil stains and others. This service will leave your good condition driveway with a beautiful black coating as well as providing regular maintenance to your driveway.

Our Process

dropdown icon

Thoroughly prepare the driveway’s surface including edging and blowing. Clean and prime minor wet oil stains as needed. Apply 1 coat of mastic crack sealer to cracks ¼” wide and ½” deep or larger. Apply 1 coat of driveway sealer.

Expectations

dropdown icon

This inexpensive option is only for general maintenance on driveways in good condition. Driveways that have more serious defects including heavy cracking will minimally require a 2 Coat Service. The 1 Coat Service is not warranted for more serious defects such as cracking and severe staining.

Standard 2 Coat Service

Two Coat Service

Description

dropdown icon

Best For: Driveways in fair to good condition that have never been sealed, or have cracking, fractures, stains or surface erosion.

This service is optimal for driveways that have minimal surface defects, such as cracks, fractures and surface erosion. New asphalt driveways should receive two coats the first time it is sealed to ensure proper protection of the asphalt.

Our Process

dropdown icon

1. Thoroughly prepare the driveway’s surface including edging and blowing. Clean and prime minor wet oil stains as needed. Apply 1 coat of mastic crack sealer to cracks ¼” wide and ½” deep or larger. Apply 1 coat of driveway sealer.

2. Apply 2nd coat of driveway sealer.

Expectations

dropdown icon

Our 2 Coat Service is a very affordable option to help protect your driveway from exposure to the elements while aiding in the beautification of your property. Driveways with more severe cracking, stains or other defects may benefit from one of our Premium Sealcoating Services or replacement of the drive.

Premium Crack Service

Description

dropdown icon

Best For: Driveways with many large cracks and fractures.

This three step process allows our technicians to put more crack sealant in large cracks by applying the materials multiple times throughout the service day. After each application of crack sealant, the material is given time to dry and shrink before applying the next round of material.

Our Process

dropdown icon

1. Thoroughly prepare the driveway’s surface including edging and blowing. Clean and prime minor wet oil stains as needed. Apply 1st coat of mastic crack sealer to cracks 1/4" wide and 1/2" deep or larger and allow to dry.

2. Apply 2nd coat of mastic crack sealer and 1st coat of driveway sealer. Allow to dry.

3. Apply 3rd coat of mastic crack sealer (if needed) and 2nd coat of driveway sealer.

Expectations

dropdown icon

This process is an affordable approach to thorough crack sealing; however, due to the shrinkage of the crack sealer as it cures, the cracks will not disappear and they will open back up over time. For a more permanent solution to severe cracking you may consider replacing your driveway.

Other Asphalt Driveway Services

Hot Patch

Hot Patch

Description

dropdown icon

Best For: Driveways with larger holes, dips or fractured areas.

This is a durable, long term solution for severely damaged areas of a driveway. Drives that are rutted, have extreme dipping or have heavily fractured sections are excellent candidates for this service.

Our Process

dropdown icon

1. Saw cut around damaged area and remove old asphalt.

2. Fill the hole with hot asphalt.

3. Fill with hot asphalt and compact.

Expectations

dropdown icon

The patch will not match the same color or texture of the surrounding asphalt. A noticeable seam will be present between the fresh asphalt and the existing driveway. If the majority of your asphalt is severely damaged, you may want to consider an overlay or full replacement of your driveway.

Cold Patch

Cold Patch

Description

dropdown icon

Best For: Holes between 1"-2" deep that are 5 square feet or less in diameter.

Cold patch is air cured cold asphalt that is good for small patches. This is an inexpensive method used to fill small shallow holes in asphalt driveways. Potholes must have support on all sides for the cold patch to be effective. This is not a good solution for driveways missing asphalt on the corners or along the edge of the driveway.

Our Process

dropdown icon

1. Remove loose pieces of asphalt and debris from pothole.

2. Fill the hole with cold patch.

3. Use a hand tamp to compact the cold patch.

Expectations

dropdown icon

Cold patch will have a rough, porous texture that won't blend perfectly with the surrounding asphalt in the driveway. This is an intermediate solution that is not designed to last the life of the driveway. For larger or more severe dips and holes, you should consider a hot patch or complete replacement of the drive.

Crack Sealant

Hot Crack Sealant

Description

dropdown icon

Best For: Large driveways with very wide and deep linear cracks.

This material is solid rubber that is heated until it reaches a liquid form. Once liquefied, it is applied to large linear cracks on your asphalt driveway. As the material cools, it solidifies forming an impenetrable barrier on the crack.

Our Process

dropdown icon

1. Thoroughly clean dirt and debris from large cracks.

2. Apply hot crack sealant to cracks using a bander.

Expectations

dropdown icon

Hot crack sealant will be a different texture than the surrounding asphalt. Noticeable "stripes" will be present where the hot crack sealant has been applied, even after sealcoating. Cracks may still have a small depression; however, the sealant will thoroughly protect your asphalt. For a more permanent solution for large cracks, you should consider a replacement of your driveway.

Premium Primer Service

Primer Service

Description

dropdown icon

Best For: Driveways with severe rust, oil or chemical stains on a significant amount of the driveway.

This two step process utilizes our Primer Sealer, which has a higher latex content than regular sealer to help prevent rust and chemical stains from bleeding through. This special coating dries a rich, black color to dramatically improve the look of your stained driveway.

Our Process

dropdown icon

1. Thoroughly prepare the driveway’s surface including edging and blowing. Clean and prepare wet oil stains as needed. Apply 1st coat of mastic crack sealer to cracks ¼” wide and ½” deep or larger. Apply 1 coat of Primer Sealer.

2. Apply 2nd coat of mastic crack sealer (as needed). Apply 1 coat of driveway sealer.

Expectations

dropdown icon

Our Premium Primer Service covers the vast majority of stains on the driveway; however, some stains may bleed back through the sealer over time based on the severity and saturation of the stain.

Premium 50/50 Service

50/50 Service

Description

dropdown icon

Best For: Driveways with severe chipping or spalling.

We use a premium blended sealer composed of 50% asphalt sealer and 50% mastic crack sealer to create a more viscous material with a higher solid content then regular driveway sealer. The 50/50 blend is an excellent option to ensure all crevices and voids are properly sealed.

Our Process

dropdown icon

1. Thoroughly prepare the driveway’s surface including edging and blowing. Clean and prime minor wet oil stains as needed. Apply 1st coat of mastic crack sealer to cracks ¼” wide and ½” deep or larger. Apply 1 coat of 50/50 Sealer.

2. Apply 2nd coat of mastic crack sealer (as needed). Apply 1 coat of driveway sealer.

Expectations

This process works best for drives that have deep chipping throughout the surface and will dramatically improve the aesthetic of the driveway. This will not leave your driveway completely smooth; therefore, for a long term solution, you may want to consider a replacement driveway.

Description:

Asphalt driveways with severe chipping or spalling are in need of dire repair and protection from the sealant.

Driveways with larger holes, dips or fractured areas.

Description:

When your driveway has severe damage from holes, dips, or fractured areas, you need a thorough repair option.

Saw cut around damaged area and remove old asphalt.

2.

Fill the hole with hot asphalt.

3.

Fill with hot asphalt and compact.
