Straight answers.
The questions people actually ask us on the phone, answered the way we would answer them.
How much does sealcoating a driveway cost?
It comes down to square footage, how much crack filling the surface needs first, and how easy the driveway is to get to. That is why the estimate is free and why we come out and look rather than quote over the phone. Call or text 330-708-9804 and we will get you a real number.
How often should a driveway be sealed?
For most residential driveways in this part of Ohio, every two to three years. Seal it too often and you build up a shell that can flake. Leave it too long and water gets underneath, which is where the expensive problems start. If you are not sure where yours sits, we will tell you honestly when we look at it.
When is the right time of year?
Sealer needs warm, dry weather to cure, so the season here runs roughly from spring through early fall. Late summer books up fastest. If you know you want it done this year, get on the list early rather than in October.
How long before I can drive on it?
Plan on staying off it for about 24 hours, longer if the weather is cool or damp. We tape the ends off before we leave so nobody drives on it by accident, and we tell you exactly when it is ready.
Do the cracks get filled before you seal?
Yes, and it matters. Sealer is a coating, not a filler. If a crack is left open, water keeps getting under the asphalt and the sealcoat sitting over it will not stop that. We fill first, then coat.
Should I seal it or is it too far gone?
There is a point where sealing a surface is just paint on a problem. If the asphalt is crumbling, sunk in, or has alligator cracking across a big area, sealing will not save it and we will say so. Sometimes the answer is a repair in one section and a seal over the rest.
Do you do parking lots as well as driveways?
Both. We seal residential driveways and commercial lots, and we stripe lots once the surface is done. Stalls, arrows, handicap spaces and fire lanes.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully insured before we start any job.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in East Liverpool and cover the surrounding tri-state area, including Calcutta, Wellsville, Lisbon, Columbiana, East Palestine and across the river into Chester and Newell. If you are not sure whether you are in range, just ask.
Can I text instead of calling?
Yes. 330-708-9804 takes calls and texts. A photo of the driveway with your text helps a lot.

Tell us where you are and what you have. We come out, look at the surface, and give you a price. If sealing is not the right call, we will tell you that too.
