While we are waiting for the spring time to come , and the flowers to bloom , I figured this would be a good time to discuss some issues about Driveway Sealer ....
* Each driveway is different. Some driveways are more porus than others. Some driveways are in full sun .
*Some driveways are in the shade. These conditions will factor in how often your driveway may or may not need to be seal coated.
* Seal coating is recommended to be done every 2 to 3 years .
* Sometimes we have customers who will want their driveway seal coated and their driveways will not benefit from seal coating at all .
*Sometimes a driveway is way beyond repair and cracked , and the sealer will not help the driveway from falling apart ......
* sometimes people have put way too much Sealer on their driveway to often , and this can cause a buildup where sealer is too thick and starts to crack , and flake off like flecks of paint ..... ( which can cause a unsightly mess as well as be tracked in and out of the house ) .
* When we give estimates , we are very transparent with our customers. There are couple of driveways that we have actually have had to say we can not do because the sealer will do more harm than good . Remember a sealer is not a magical Band-Aid. It's maintenance , and every driveway is different.
******Important things to remember about driveway maintenance is to avoid power washing the driveway , avoid using harsh chemicals, and soaps when washing cars , divert any water gutters, and running water away from your driveway .
***The way you plow your driveway in the winter can even affect your driveway pushing road salt up your driveway , over salting your driveway is going to have an effect on your driveway Sealers longevity .
* We will always give recommendations on what we think should be done to maintain your driveway , and if your driveway does not need a seal, we will not just go ahead and seal coat it " just because " .
***** Our written estimates are always free and we are always happy to answer Any questions you may have about your driveway .
We would like to thank our repeat customers we have had over the years that have helped make our business successful , and we look forward to another year of serving our customers !
