Asphalt takes a beating from man and nature. Chemicals, gasoline, oil and other compounds soften and destroy the binder in asphalt. Sunlight, water, and oxygen attack the surface as soon as it's installed. In time the asphalt loses its flexibility; the aggregate stone loosens. The surface becomes porous and rough. Grime and dirt become highly noticeable. Pavement sealer is your protection against most damaging elements that man or nature has install for your asphalt surface. As its name says, pavement sealer seals the binder in and seals destructive elements out. What is the price of seal coating? As your house and driveway are unique, each driveway sealing price is different. Based on the size and condition of your driveway, we use our unit pricing model to give you the most fair and competitive price possible. When you call Universal Seal or email your request for a free estimate, we immediately assign an estimator who will provide pricing in 1 to 2 business days. The estimator will measure and evaluate your driveway, leaving a quote and package at your door. In many cases, special discounted pricing is available including neighborhood discounts if we perform several driveways in one neighborhood at the same time. Cracks are an invitation to moisture and harmful chemicals to seep into the pavement's base and ruin your driveway. As this moisture expands and freezes, the pavement will break and the driveway will fail. To prevent this, we install a high-quality, hot applied crack and joint sealant to your cracks before seal coating. Although this crack fill is visible, the sealed cracks prevent moisture for causing further damage. The crack filling is NOT included in the sealcoat price. We at Universal Seal are dedicated to provide outstanding results by applying the seal coating for your driveway by hand. We don't spray! After seal coating, when can I park on my driveway? Dry times for sealcoat depend greatly on the exposure to the sun and temperatures. In most cases, you can walk and drive on the driveway within 24 hours after seal coating. . If the schedule date changes, how will I know? Universal Seal keeps staff on call 24-hours per day to focus on customer service. If weather or other variables affect your schedule date, one of our dedicated scheduling coordinators will contact you to discuss alternate dates. . What time will the crew arrive? Driveway sealing depends greatly on driveway size and condition. Because our crews are performing seal coating on several driveways per day, it is difficult to determine when they will arrive at your driveway. What do I need to do to prepare for sealcoat? The only thing we need from you as a customer is to clear your driveway of all vehicles, equipment, dumpster, and what ever else that might effect our working process. We do not need you to clean or prepare the driveway in any way. We clean and prepare the driveway for sealing when we arrive. When is the best time of year to sealcoat? Seal coating must be performed when the temperature is about 50 degrees over night. This means that the best time to sealcoat is between the months of April and October. When I park on my driveway, why do tire marks appear? Because the sealcoat takes time to fully cure, tire marks sometimes appear 1 to 2 weeks after the sealcoat is applied, especially during humid summer months. After the sealcoat cures, the tire marks will disappear. |
