Driveway Sealing

How do we apply sealer?

Brushed, not sprayed! We hand apply and pride ourselves on leaving your property, stone borders, aprons, Belgium blocks and garage doors how we found them- Clean!

Why should I seal my driveway?

Sealing extends the life of your driveway investment at a fraction of the cost to replace. It rejuvenates old driveways to a brand new look with a flat black finish. It protects and repels water, ice and oil.

Is sealing environmentally friendly?

Unlike Coal Tar Asphalt Sealer, our Asphalt Emulsion Sealer is environmentally friendly and made from the same basic compounds your asphalt driveway is comprised of. It contains no Volitile Organic Compounds or VOC’s and has very low odor and no skin irritants.

How long does it take to dry?

Our Ashphalt Emulsion Sealer takes 8-24 hours before you can drive on it.  If required, we utilize a fast drying additive that expedites the drying process.

Can we sealcoat cement?

No, but our power washing and soft washing unit can make quick work of your dirty cement leaving it bright and clean.

When is a good time to reseal?

Typically 1-3 years is the normm, however, every driveway is different and wears accordingly to its environment. High traffic and heavily shoveled/plowed driveways may need yearly application. 

Do I need two coats of Sealer?

Badly pitted driveways and extensively “spider cracked” driveways may need two coats for additional protection.

Do you fill cracks?

Yes, cracks are hand filled depending on size, with either a hot liquid crack filler or a trowable fiberglass filler.

Discounted Spring and fall applications available.

House Washing

Will I receive a free Estimate?

Yes, our qualified technician and owner will complete a walk around with you to discuss the cleaning.

Roof Cleaning: What's eating my roof?

The main culprit for dark stains on your roof is a Gloeocapsa Magma. This is an algae that grows in hot, humid, shaded areas. If left unchecked, moss, lichen and damaging organic build up from our oak trees will hold moisture, causing leaks and reducing the life of your roof.

Will the solution you use cause damage to my plants?

We are very careful to take care of your plants and gardens. Pre rinsing, post rinsing, rinsing during service and covering specialty plants is our priority. I treat your home as I would treat my own.

What does House Washing entail?

Like roof cleaning, we evaluate your home and discuss with you problematic areas. House washing is performed in the same manner as roof cleaning but using a much softer solution. The service includes cleaning of all siding, soffits, gutters and foundation below siding. Cedar Shake requires a different solution and technique to clean. The transformation back to beauty is stupendous!

What are the usual problems with homes?

On vinyl siding, Oxidation from UV or low quality siding can occur. It looks like a faded white chalky residue. A different cleaning solution and technique can be applied to remove. Shotgun Fungus is small black spots that looked sprayed on your siding, generally stemming from mulch beds. Unfortunately, removal is not possible.

Gutters are another problematic area. While most gutters come clean, some have oxidation and stains appear after cleaning masking dirt. Gutter brightening is an additional service where we apply a stronger solution with a soft brush. Be advised, Oxidized gutters run the risk of the metal showing through after application. Quality gutters tend to stain less and show less tiger striping/ghosting after cleaning.

Some pavers that have not been properly sealed can show efflorescence or a white seeping stain. Luckily, many times it is not efflorescence but another removable buildup. Unfortunately, efflorescence is a very difficult issue to resolve and generally cannot be fully removed

Can you clean my concrete and pavers?

Yes, concrete and pavers will be surfaced cleaned and treated to kill any organic matter with our soft wash solution. Amazing results! Rust Stains, Tire Shine residue and oil stains can be removed as well.

Can you clean my wood deck?

Yes, stained decks will be stripped to remove stain and neutralized to restore the brightness. Soft wash solution and low pressure wash is often applied to remove algae build up to restore your deck and ready it for staining.
