| Things you should know about Sealcoat and Sealcoaters |
What you need to know about sealcoat and application!
The products we use come from GemSeal, which is made from the finest materials in the world! I know how important your home is to you and your driveway is a reflection on how your home looks. This is why I use the right material and the proper method to apply it.
What is the best sealcoat ?
The best sealcoat is rubberized emulsion sealcoat. Residential Application: Hand applied. We use a two-step process.
First we spread the sealcoat out to fill and cover all the little nicks and holes thoroughly Second we do the fine finish |

I've sealcoated over 2,500 driveways "Most of which are yearly maintenance customers".
If I Sealcoat the same driveways every year, lets say for the last 39 years
| The Driveway will look almost as good as the first day the driveway was installed. Given it was installed by a quality reputable Paving company |

Sealcoat that contains sand, sludge or any other compound will cause chipping, flaking, peeling and spider cracks.
Now this is why sand is so bad to use in sealcoat:
Your driveway expands & contracts, (it stretches and bends in all different ways during the weathers)
Since sand is a rock, it does not stretch therefore the sealcoat pulls apart from the sand leaving little tiny areas all over your driveway unprotected from water.
Sealcoat is tested in the labs to stretch.
So when your driveway stretches the sealcoat will stretch with it to protect from water getting in to bare asphalt.
Now if you use sealcoat that has sand sludge or any other compounds the driveway will stretch and the sealcoat will but the sand won't(remember it�s a rock ) therefore little spider cracks appear in the sealcoat, leaving room for water to get in to the bare asphalt and wash it away. And if nothing is done about it, the spider cracks turn in to alligated broken asphalt. |

In some cases you will notice the effects shortly after using the sandy sealcoat. |
|
| On bare asphalt that means the asphalt will turn into rubble. |
|
| This is the reason for sealcoating your driveway every year and with "No Sand in the Sealcoat"! |
|
| My driveways don't chip, flake or peal.
Now why would that be? |
| Maybe it's because Mr. Sealcoat & Paving doesn't use sand in sealcoat!!! |
