"I am a licensed professional civil engineer in the State of Missouri and frequently specify concrete work in my professional life.  I strongly recommend Domian Paving and Concrete for work similar in scope to what they provided me.

I called on 7 Contractors listed favorably in the BBB in order to get quotes for the work.  Domian came in with the lowest price, and the fullest scope of work.  In meeting each of the Contractors I requested bids, Kevin Domian came across as a true professional and was able to answer many of my technical questions.

Removal of the old driveway took one day, and was performed within the limits of the old driveway - not damaging any of my surrounding lawn.  Formwork and placement of the concrete occurred on another day with a broom finish on the concrete.  Control joints in the concrete were made very straight, and cleanly.  Domian stripped forms that evening, and backfilled and fine-graded the areas where the forms were constructed, to where everything looked nice.  The following day, Domian returned to prep and apply the cure and seal product.  

Domian was responsive in providing me with Certificates of Insurance the day they mobilized to the site.  They also were helpful in getting me release of liens from their material supplier."

Driveway Sealcoating questions, answered by experts

There are more pros than cons, but there are a few disadvantages to sealing your driveway to be aware of. Sealant can make the surface slippery, which can be a hazard, especially when the driveway gets wet. Look for sealants with abrasive additives to help counteract this. You’ll also need to remember to reapply your sealant every two years and budget for the expense that comes with it.

When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.

You should plan on sealing your driveway about once every five years, although you should plan to do it once every three years if your area experiences frequent rain or snow. Sealing your driveway protects it from moisture, UV rays, and chemicals from your car, like motor oil and antifreeze. If you find that your driveway stains easily or appears to be cracking or fading, you may want to schedule a sealing service regardless of when you last sealed it.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

The best time to seal a driveway is during periods of mild, dry weather, typically from late spring through early fall. For the sealant to bond and cure properly, it needs warm conditions. Avoid sealing in the winter when temperatures are too low.

For optimal results, follow these guidelines:

  • Temperature: Apply sealant when air and surface temperatures are consistently above a minimum of 50-55°F. The ideal range is often between 60°F and 80°F. Avoid applying sealer in extreme heat (above 90-95°F), as it can cause the sealant to dry too quickly and improperly.

  • Weather: Choose a time with no rain in the forecast for at least 24 to 48 hours after application. Rain can wash away the sealant before it has fully cured.

  • Timing and Cost: While spring and fall offer ideal temperatures, they are also the busiest seasons for driveway sealing companies, which may lead to higher costs due to increased demand. The best specific month will depend on your local climate.
