FAQs

Rest assured, our team takes meticulous care to ensure a clean and precise application. We employ careful techniques to contain the sealer within the intended areas, maintaining the neatness of your property throughout the process.

For asphalt in sunny locations, you can typically drive on it after approximately 6 hours. However, we recommend allowing shaded areas to cure overnight for optimal results and longevity of the surface.

To maintain the integrity and appearance of your driveway, we recommend having it sealed every three years. This regular maintenance helps protect the asphalt and extend its lifespan.

To protect the Asphalt surface underneath the sealcoating.

Sealcoating applied in two coats dries and cures much faster.

Yes. Applying asphalt is a lot cheaper than other methods, and asphalt has better cool-weather performance.

Anywhere from 1-5 years.

Asphalt can typically last 15-25 years.

Seal coating adds anywhere from 5, 8 to 20 years to the life of an asphalt surface.

Seal coating can fail due to poor preparation or bad weather conditions. An experienced paving contractor will take steps to prevent both.

Yes. You can apply seal coating in all geographies as long as it’s warm and dry during application time.

Warm and sunny with dew points below 50%

Yes. Some use squeegee, spray and or brush methods.

Spray application is probably the most common technique.

Most California based seal coating contractors also use spray application.

Streaks in general are primarily caused by uneven sealcoat application.

White streaks in seal coating are usually caused by trapped moisture or mineral deposits within the seal coating.

Because of environmental factors like high humidity.

Typically, this term refers to the high-heat propane torches seal coating contractors use to burn away organic material or contaminants during the preparation stage.

Due to mechanical abrasion from tires grinding away the protective layer.

Late spring to early Fall. When temperatures are between 50-55°F and no rain for 48 hours.

Typically it will dry within 24-48 hours.

The best way to ensure sealcoating lasts the longest is to apply it in thin, even coats, in optimal weather conditions, and with proper surface preparation.

Typically, yes, with only slight differences due to variance in lot size.

Yes. Sealcoating should be applied before striping.

Sealcoating before striping is recommended for a better, longer-lasting finish.

Sealcoating helps striping last longer because it creates a strong, durable barrier that protects the underlying asphalt and the striping from the elements.

Mix design sealcoating refers to the precise formulas a contractor uses in specific mixes or formulas.

Yes. Even in areas without snow or freezing temperatures, the constant sun exposure can dry out or weaken asphalt, requiring sealcoating.

No. Sealcoating is a maintenance step. It does not provide repairs. Repairs have to be done separately.

Every 2-4 years to prevent wear and tear.

Yes.

Yes. Marks will typically appear after the initial 30-day period.
