Let's face it. I'm not a meteorologist but one thing is for certain: The weather we have just experienced for nearly an entire month was something straight out of the global warming playbook. Is it us? Is it a natural progression of our planetary system? Is it the government? What ever it was it seems to have settled down a bit and that's good news for us!
While we were not protecting properties and beautifying homes during the Amazonian Deluge, we were diligently working and updating our ever-informative website, which means more education for you; The homeowner. We now have a frequently asked questions page to address many of the concerns associated with sealcoating in general. We also have introduced a new flowchart to determine if we are the best choice for your driveway's needs.
Since we're on the topic, let's discuss what we don't do: If you have sealed your driveway in the past by Latex or Coal Tar Emulsion and looking to re-seal it this year I would suggest sticking with the same material for two reasons:
1. Acrylic is engineered for unsealed driveways simply because it will naturally degrade over the course of two years and it will keep the texture of your new driveway, instead of leaving you with a flat surface prone to cracking. 2. It would not be cost-effective for you to use acrylic after using a different material. The reason for this is because Acrylic will not bond correctly to Latex or Coal Tar and it will exhibit faster wear characteristics.
We have also received quite a bit of calls for commercial sealcoating. Although we have sealed parking lots in the past, they have exhibited faster wear patterns than that of residential driveways. For high traffic applications such as parking lots and gas stations, Latex is the way to go.
If you have a specific question that is not covered on the website, feel free to give me, Kraig with a 'K' a call.
