K&R Seal Coating filled the cracks and sealed our driveway today. They did an excellent job. The products they used were high quality, and they were very careful near the house and crafted cement patio. We are very pleased with the work they did.

It was good. He was very good, thorough, and I was pleased with the job that he did. They sent one guy out to do the job. He got the job done in about an hour and a half to 2 hours. We had to reschedule one time due to the weather, but everything worked out fine.
