Should I seal fresh asphalt?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend sealing brand-new asphalt; instead, wait for at least three months so that the asphalt has some time to cure. If it’s applied too soon, the seal coat can trap oils and chemicals in the asphalt, preventing it from fully curing and leading to a weaker surface that’s susceptible to damage. </p></div>

Can you DIY chip seal?

• <div><p>Driveway installation is challenging. While chip seal might sound easier to apply than asphalt, the process still involves heavy machinery and professional skills. Unless you come from a construction background, we recommend hiring <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/asphalt-companies/">an asphalt company</a> to chip seal your new driveway. If you are paving the driveway entirely with chip seal, expect to pay <b>$5 to $10 per square foot</b>.</p></div>

Is it better to spray or roll the driveway sealer?

• <div><p>If you don’t want to seal the entire driveway using a squeegee, you can use a roller instead. Rolling the driveway sealer also provides an even, sufficient coating, although it might require more skills to control the speed and pressure. We don’t recommend spraying the driveway sealer because it would cause more splash, hence wasting more material. If anything, you may spray the sealant and go over the surface again with a squeegee to ensure proper coating. </p></div>

Prompt estimate and job completed when promised. Replaced bad sections of asphalt, filled cracks and seal coated driveway. Extremely courteous crew and great cleanup. I would definitely use them again.

We had a sunken driveway, to soft to drive on, they removed all soft areas and installed a new base. The price was excellent, the job was great, and workmanship was excellent (very honest and good workers).
