"Prompt and hard-working, Carlos and his crew did a great job sealcoating our long driveway. Working quickly, but avoiding any errors, they did the job in half a day. Guaranteed for a year, their bid, among the 4 I looked at, stood out."
"Couldn't be happier with the service, timeliness, cost and quality of the job. Mike from Mike & Martin's personally viewed the job site and together we negotiated and agreed on a plan, timeline and cost for the job. Mike's crew arrived on time, followed the plan exactly as discussed and completed the job as promised. The quality of work was exceptional and Mike took the time to make personal contact at the completion of the job and again after a couple of weeks to insure my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Mike & Martin's Asphalt Paving and Sealcoating as a reputable, conscientious, and quality business. I have and will continue to refer M&M to others seeking quality, cost effective asphalt services. They also have an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. Thanks Mike."

Driveway Sealcoating questions, answered by experts
Though they may look similar, tar and bitumen come from different sources. Bitumen is a petroleum product—extracted during crude oil refining—and is mostly made up of hydrocarbons. Tar comes from burning down organic materials like coal or wood. Bitumen is strictly oil-based, while tar is a mix of compounds from natural sources. Both are used as binders in paving; however, bitumen is the standard for today’s asphalt. Tar use has mostly faded out of road construction.
Professionals restore the surface to a fresh, attractive finish by applying a new, even sealant layer.
New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.
DIY sealants exist, but professional application ensures uniform coverage and long-term durability.
Whether you should resurface or replace your asphalt driveway heavily depends on its condition. If the foundation is solid and the damage is minor, resurfacing is your best bet because it’s more affordable and faster than replacing the driveway. But if your driveway has foundational problems and/or severe damage, like large, deep cracks and potholes, then it makes more sense to replace it.
