Stringer Blacktop Sealcoating

Not very well. Once I made the call to express my interest in having the job completed, they sent someone out to look over the driveway and present a final estimate that included the work described above. FIRST: Clean cracks and pavement thoroughly. Apparently, that means taking a powerful blower and walking up and down the driveway a few times to blow off any loose debris. I had anticipated that something of the sort might happen so I spent a few hours the day before using a pressure washer and blasting out all cracks of weeds/etc to thoroughly prep the surface for Stringer. I STRONGLY ADVISE you to do the same. SECOND: Fill major cracks with elastic crack filling compound. That simply never happened. When the job was being performed, I asked the Stringer employee if the cracks would be filled (pointing out substantial cracks) to which he said that he made the sealer thicker to fill in the cracks and that doing so will work better than crack filler anyway. Well, the thicker sealer suck deep into the cracks as if nothing was filled at all. I called up the company to complain (added pictures of the problem) to which I was told that there are too many cracks to be filled, and that it would take too long to fill them correctly. This response is simply unacceptable considering a sales representative looked over my entire driveway BEFORE the estimate was given and listed filling the cracks as part of the job!! If he told be that the driveway was in such disrepair and that it would be $500 to complete the job correctly, that would have been FINE! Stringer ended up coming back out to fix the issue, but ended up just putting another layer of sealer on the driveway, still leaving major cracks exposed. Never was one crack filled with crack filling compound. If your driveway is in very good condition, I'm sure Stringer will do a fine job. You still will want to prep the driveway yourself. Be weary of any company that will not complete a job as promised.

Mediocre They charge more than other companies but promise to seal cracks. Cracks were filled in but not with enough volume to be sealed. They also left my house messy. They blew wood chips all over pricy and a coat of dirt on my newly painted garage. Not very happy
