I called and someone came out right away to give me a quote. I was also scheduled promptly. My issue is the way the driveway looks. The sealer looks like good qualify but the application was subpar. I can see the brush strokes down my driveway. I thought I would be getting a nice even application.
Response from First State Driveway Sealcoating
"The customer was scheduled on June 8th and her driveway was sealcoated by brush. She contacted us the following day regarding the brush marks. I explained that it takes time to cure and to contact us within a week if it didnt. She then expressed that she wanted a “smooth driveway”. Unfortunately, her expectations of that is unrealistic. We did NOT process her check and mailed it back to her, therefore, providing a FREE sealcoating."

In 2015, I read about First State Driveway Sealcoating on Angie's List. I hired the company to sealcoat my driveway and was happy with the results. In January of this year, I received a solicitation / offer of a discounted price for the same service. I sent a check, which was promptly cashed. It is eleven months later, and I never received the service. I've called several times to see about scheduling the sealcoating, and then about a refund. None of my calls were returned. I emailed the business owner with my address and phone number and information about the cashed check, asking for a refund by the end of November. No response. Very troubling.

Not all that well! The salesperson made statements that seemed like they will do the whole repair, but the results showed all they did was just pouring some crack filler along the cracks, and seal coating. The price they charged me was 50% higher than my regular seal coating guy, but the service was the same. Also, in all my 30 years of having driveway work done, this was the first time that the vendor did not bother to put barrier tape to warn people. Before I got home, a UPS truck and a friend had driven on my wet driveway because there was no warning. I would not recommend these people.
Response from First State Driveway Sealcoating
"Customer's expectations were unrealistic for the damage on the side of the driveway. He was made aware that that repair could not be done and would require a new section of asphalt. Although, we try to remain as competitive as possible, our pricing may be higher than other companies because we do not spray and all work is done by hand. Additionally, as we were sealing the driveway, the county came into the neighborhood and replaced the street. Yellow caution tape was placed at the end of the driveway. The county may have taken it down while they were working on the street."

We used First State Driveway Sealcoating at our previous house and were always happy with their work. They did a wonderful job again and the driveway looks great.

Good job - cleaned driveway, filled cracks, then applied sealcoat (brushed on).  No complaints.

I called First State after reading their reviews on Angies's list. I had called another service before joining Angies's list and after repeated attempts to get them to perform the service they didn't show up on July 21st (their last chance). I called First State on Tuesday and had an estimate that afternoon. They called me twice to confirm and give me information and they showed up Friday and completed the job.

My husband was home while they coated the driveway and was very impressed with their work ethic and professionalism. I would recommend this company to others.

Our driveway looks beautiful! Matt came out within 2 days of my call to give an estimate. Very willing to have conversation and to answer questions. Knowledgeable and helpful. Original date set ended up being one of those very hot and humid days so we rescheduled. He and Donna came...put on driveway by hand (not spray) from can. Very skillful; no drips on to sidewalks, etc. Careful to put sealcoat over all ridges to seal them as they are most vulnerable areas for cracks to develop they informed me.
We will get another sealcoat next spring and our driveway should be set for a long time!

Our driveway had several growing cracks and had turned a faded black. First State Driveway Sealcoating did an amazing job restoring the driveway. Its been about a year and the color still looks great. Some of the cracks are reappearing but they recommended getting a second sealcoating this year since it was originally in such bad shape. They did a great job of watching the weather for a few days so the work was not rained on. The price came in under other quotes we received.
