As a professional contractor for almost 40 years , I’d say you did a nice job. No matter how efficient and good your job is there’s always a critic who can’t get their own work and always a buyer that thinks everyone is desperate for their work.Reality is very different 😂
Thanks, very well said
For everyone concerned about the grass, maybe you're not familiar with grass, it grows.
yeah but I dont want to see black on my grass ametuer job. The guys who did mine layed out paper not just a piece of ply wood I wouldn’t pay these guys to do my driveway
Exactly, and also the little overspray was gone with the morning cut
I don’t care that it grows back… The finish product as a whole does not look professional when the grass looks like that. You already had the plywood out, so use it for the grass.
@@TheOriginalAndysGarage are you mowing black grass after his customers call you complaining? LMAO
@@TheOriginalAndysGarage speaking of dick… I grow too, every time I sleep with your mom.
I recognize a perfectly well executed task, performed in an insanely short amount of time when I see it.
High octane work, physically and mentally. Great Job !
Special mention to the hose guy for shadowing you.
Thank you
Curb appeal all day long. 20 in 20... in other words, adds 20K value in 20 mins to be precise. Looks outstanding. Gr8 job! 👍
Thank you .......
I’ve got 35+ years in the asphalt paving and sealcoating business and you sir are an artist with that spray gun. I always preferred a quarter quarter turn to a California gun myself but it sure gives you good control. Nothing looks better than Gilsonite on asphalt. Great job.
Thank You
I helped a friend do this for his Eagle scout project late '80's when did this to his churches parking lot
Getting the grass and debris out of the cracks was the hard part. It was the middle of Summer in western KY. His dad got a thick tar to fill the cracks then we started in the back parking lot and worked to the street.
Nothing better than a fresh coat of sealer! Looks awesome! The prep that goes in ahead of time sure helps too!
One tip for doing driveway coatings, get yourself a pair of golf shoes, the kind with plastic cleets. You walk on the cleets and don't leave footprints. You can walk right across the freshly coated surface without leaving a mark on it, plus they barely leave a trace if you make a bad step somewhere on a sidewalk. Still good to use care, but the tell tale black footprints won't happen.
I have a better tip: do it correctly and you won't need to walk across a freshly coated surface. Makes sense eh?
@@bigmacdaddy1234 right, if we were just perfect, all the time, we wouldn't need any protective gear or precautions.
My neighbor had this done, it didn't last long. Also it helps retain heat, not something one wants around their home. He regretted it within 4 months of having it done.
what if I do it now before winter
Again, done with a cheap product, please understand that there are different grades of sealer. Always make sure good products are used.
@@gheezymarro8755 With good quality product , you can do this in summer or fall, will not make a difference.
@@FastFordClub how much does this cost?
@@thetruthfornow6045 Depends on the type of asphalt, how much cleaning is required, has it been sealed before, how many cracks to be fixed etc. but does range between 30 - 50 cents per square foot
Beautiful job !!!
Loved and enjoyed watching your video, great presentation on product.
Thank you so much!
Used to do sealcoating asphalt the sealer we put down came from a plant that would fill the tanker up we added sand to it and a little bit of water also the sealer we used to spray down contain de creosote same stuff they use on railroad cross ties or they used to and when we spray the parking lot it was a lot thicker than what's coming out of the end of that that might hold up for a driveway but for commercial use I don't think it would last
I used the same type material on a parking lot and it lasted more than 9 years. The water based sealer only lays on top of the pavement and does nothing to prolong the life of the pavement. I have seen water based sealer completely disappear in 30 days
I found this very therapeutic to watch
Thanks .......
Dude, why am I watching this before starting work? 🤦🏾♂️😄
LOL ... Get you ready for work
I had a guy do this to my driveway. Lasted about three months
You then had the wrong guy ....
@@FastFordClub no doubt

Great video, great job!
Those who complain about the grass getting black, apparently they smoke it, that's why they care! 🤣
Thanks ......
My algorithm sent me here and I am glad.
Awesome ... Thanks
Very steady hand, and great confidence. Well done
Thanks .....
wow, love this, just found you and subscribed. viewers are going to love this instant fast gratification. great job, i love it.

Thank you very much
Nice, but you guys need a better method for protecting things you do not want to spray. Like tje black you can clearly see on the brick, and on the white flooring below the left garage door.
Done this for a job back in high school, awesome work on the no over spray.
Thanks .........
That white trim up close had me worried, but the triggerman changed his angle and kept it low pressure near it.
@@radar98 Definitely has a better sprayer set up than I did back in high school, then again our sealant was J16 mixed with some black silicone sand blasting sand to add a rougher texture for winter months.
Looks great. You have good control of the sprayer. I would end up with it all over me.
Thanks .......
@@FastFordClubwhat kind of sprayer is it?
Amazingly satisfying video. Cheers.👏👏👍👍
Thank you
Excellent job man what a difference👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much
That was satisfying to watch
Thank you
No worries, be happy. 👏👍
That’s some skill with the old sprayer there at the end, no boarding, just doing it by judgement 👍🏻😁
Cool, fine job👍🏻
Thank you very much
This type of driveways doesn't need edging before spraying. It's a water-based seal coat that doesn't have as much sand in it as commercial jobs and works well in this low-pressure system. In some cases, a sand-free coat is used just to change the color before a sale. The grass will be fine. If you want the price to go up a bit, shielding the grass should be added in the estimate. For the quality of this house, I would have shielded the grass for free advertising's sake. Keep using that board, but use a thin one for curved work and cut out handles for more control. Most guys will brush a line along the garage edge for a tighter line. Spraying right at the edge of the house is risky and doesn't lay a perfect line without getting overspray on the house. The material is going down well and the hose management is much better this time. Remember, these guys are working on the clock and you get what you pay for.
Oil base is best. Actually rejuvenates the asphalt and adds more life. Water base is the scam. Literally just a paint coat that does nothing and ends up making a mess. Nice to see people still doing this work properly. Too much water base guys where I am at
I agree for sure, thanks
effortless, great work.
Thank you
Great channel
Thank you very much
I love it. Great job.
Old dude good with the sprayer
LOL Thanks .. I guess
black grass is expensive at the garden centre....
do the lawn as well....
I had mine sprayed and I wasn’t impressed. The year after, the fading was so much that you could see the circular spray pattern. I’d did the entire driveway myself (huge driveway), with barrels of sealant and a squeegee, after filling cracks etc. The thickness was impressive, and I know it will last at least 5 years. Tough on my back though, but worth it.
Yes, Not all guys use a quality sealer, and some even thin it out, sorry to hear it wore off that soon, you should get art least 3 years out of this product.
And he made a beautiful landscape portrait at the same time.
Looks like a professional to me
Haha nope.
Best way to maintain an asphalt driveway is to replace it with concrete.
Not in cold climates.
Why did he block across the garage, and then paint the grass? Not very professional!
@@bobandtamibise9314 Not professional, but it will be gone after a couple mowings.
@@jamiemacdonald436 Yall are so upset about the grass. Did you forget it grows? The lawn is getting cut anyway.
@@Apollo55_ That's exactly what I already said. Sounds like you're the one who's getting upset over nothing.
So many negative comments from ppl who have never done manual labour...this is extremely difficult to be that good with a sprayer.
Yes also not to spray the hose get yourself boxed in or get the product on you your shoes or your clothes . Let the professionals do it you will be much happier . It's a messy job if you don't know what the hell your doing.
Oh come on, not that difficult, probably most impressive part is how fast/accurate he can stop on an edge
@@devilmonkey have you ever even set up a spray machine let alone use one plus that isn’t paint he needs to thin it down and get the psi set to spray right according to how much he thind down the product every home owner thinks owe that’s easy until they have to actually do it and do it well while producing it at a productive rate of time
@@louisderosa6154 yeah I have and that's a sealer, that's basically paint buddy. Oh oh the correct psi and thinning it out, the horror. What's so difficult about this, explain yourself. The way he moves it side to side 😯 do you want to see how this is done exactly on a house
Never ever accept this spray this is just color water nothing else
He's still good with the sprayer.
Thank you
We cut the edge by hand then spray but looks good
Thanks
You're not putting enough product down. Just painting the asphalt.
SALUTE heck I wish you were in Dallas keep up the great work
Thank you very much
Great job
Man I’ve always liked the look of oil base better than water base we can only get water base in KY
It does look better I find also, and of course I like the idea of the sealer actually soaking into the pavement.
Great job looks good from Fontana Ca
Thank you very much
Whenever they do that the first time it rains you see all the chemicals running off,,
if it's oil based some oil probably would come out, that's my guess at least
Thats why the frogs are gay 🤷♂️😄
Not so
Really nice job
Thank you
Extremely thin coats of sealer look good but this will be gone in 3 years probably 40% gone first year. Never seen anyone advertising this kind of work
is there anymore steps to do after the seal coat? i wanna start a business doing this in my area but i have no idea how to do it im in the research process rn
No, no more steps after this, just start by cleaning off the dirt, fill cracks if customer wants, then spray seal and that's it. Give the sealer 12 - 24 hours to set up before driving on it.
Beautiful
Thank you
Hi, wath do you use to fix the cracks?
Wow
Good investment. Some companies do warranty maintenance.
This is a piss poor job. I have done this myself and it is laborious. Takes a heck of a lot more time to do it right, I can assure ya that.
What did they do wrong?
Well for one, the spray there applying is just that watered down sealant. All that’s gonna do is temporarily change the color of the asphalt. It does not seal the cracks and is applied so sparingly, doesn’t get absorbed, just dries on surface.
You sure are smart. That is definitely not water based. It’s a oil based penetrating sealer and does not have to be flooded to get good results.
@@rebeccayates6398you’re very dumb
Beautiful job
Thank you very much
Qui in Svizzera pitturano il pavimento dei parcheggi sotterranei per evitare che il sale antighiaccio che si deposita con l’entrate delle auto in sosta , degeneri il cemento 👋🏻
Good Idea
People would tell me you can do that yourself. My reply you can do that yourself I'll hire someone to do it. Great job.
Thank you very much
The same people that say you can do this yourself probably go to Walmart or jiffy lube to get the oil changed in there vehicle and don't even know what a drain plug looks like. Sure you can diy but if you have no idea wtf you are doing you will just make everything worse
Nice job - very impressive.
Thank you very much
Great job looks amazing what machine do you use and what spray-gun and were would I be able to get one thinking about opening Similar business Thank you
Thank you, spray gun and wand can be ordered from MK Rittenhouse in Ontario, the equipment can be build with a small engine running a hydraulic pump and a relieve valve.
nice job damn
Thank you very much
You are brave ,, cutting in with the sprayer ,, Question how many PSI are you using ? Thanks for sharing 👍
When cutting in I use around 400 PSI, and for the rest around 850PSI
What an awsome work ,great equipment I really like this ,can you tell us how to do this and the equipment you use , im really interested in start doing it ,thank you sir best wishes
Thank you, just using a small engine that powers a small hydraulic pump that pulls sealer out of my tank. In my video " New Hose and Wand day" you can see part of my setup, check it out
@@FastFordClub thanks for your response ,ill check it out I dont know nothing about sealer or what you doing but you really got me interested ill subscribe to your channel and best success
@@OZREY9 Thanks .......
The overspray in the grass will be gone by morning and the spray on the driveway will be gone by next month…😂
Nice try .... BUT ...This product lasts several years. It's not that cheap garbage, maybe if you don't know someone, or the materials used , maybe not make foolish statement. And yeah, as stated in the video, the little bit of overspray on grass was gone in the morning cut
This isn’t driveway sealing. It’s driveway panting. 🤣
@@FastFordClub
I can't believe you got NFL Hall of Famer Marcus Allen commenting. LOL
@@michaelprosperity3420 Right LOL
@@HuntMountain06 Like I said, please enlighten us then Mr. Pro LOL
Have you ever sprayed this on a gravel driveway? Wondering how it would hold up.
I have sprayed asphalt tailings, not the greatest result (same as gravel) as the tailings will turn over in time
@@FastFordClub good to know. Thank you very much.
Lol😅
Damm nice job 👍
Thank you very much
Why are you constantly pressing the sprayer instead of holding it in?
Just how I have gotten used to doing it, no particular reason
So he can have more pressure in there
Same as when spray painting - if you hold it down, at the end of every stroke, you'll end up depositing more paint as you change directions at the end, leaving uneven lines.
@@penguins9645 Exactly .......
Q
I'm guessing he's done this once or twice.
Wow!
Thumbs-up 👍
Thank you
Are you using an AK 130 or 230? And can you remove the spray tip and leave strips to brush if you wanted to?
Yes I can, but this equipment I build myself it's not the AK series
@@FastFordClub could tell us more about how you build it. I love your wand and was wondering what it would take to make one?
We use this technique here in the UK ..... The only difference is we spray it underneath the tarmac or concrete before laying .... This is blackjack spray and thinners i assume 🤔
Different application, you are referring to part of the asphalting process but this is a maintenance coat done every few years.
Dude is Pretty liberal holding the board. Thought on the one he moved it to Quickly while guy was spraying
How long you wait until you can walk on it?
You can walk on it after about 1 hour, Drive on it between 12 - 24 hours depending on the type of asphalt.
Ty,
It's only a spray not a spray and back roll
What product do you guys use for something like this?
It is a commercial asphalt/oil based sealer
Not an expert, but the guy spraying should probably also be wearing a mask.
He's an adult who can make his own decisions.
@@reallunacy for sure. I just meant that as a heads up to people to do their own research.
He smokes weed all day. No need for a mask.
How much did this customer end up paying to get a job like this
Very Nice
How much does something like this cost? LOVE watching stuff like this.
depending on the type of asphalt, how much clean up required, cracks ... etc it can range from 30 - 50 cents per square foot
Could you please tell me what set up you are using?
You get what you pay for..
Exactly, and that's why the $60 tip also .........
Hey what spray system you have? I like how that wond sprays!!
Made it myself, aluminum tank, small engine, hydraulic pump and t-relive valve. In my video "
New Hose and Wand day" you can see part of my
setup, check it out
@@FastFordClub Thats a sweet dyi sprayer! Any idea how many PSI your spraying at? Also what type of tip/key are you using the spray head?
@@brendontompa-clinch2306 it's the XR8003VS tip , PSI I spray usually around 700 - 800 PSI
Maybe a second coat? One just doesn’t seem enough to last a good year in my humble opinion
It looks deceiving, it's a pretty good coat. Remember, this is a rejuvenation sealer, it soaks into the asphalt.
Yeah !!!
Clever
Can we get a look at your spray system?
The video " New Hose and Wand Day" shows some of the equipment. I might make a video of the setup soon tho, stay tuned
@@FastFordClubplease do
Methodically done. Basically painting the driveway How long tome does it take before it dries?
It cures pretty quick really as this material soaks into the pavement. But I still recommend 12 - 24 hours
What does a job like this cost? about $150-$300? I can't see it being more than that ans some of these 5 gallon sealers are from $25 and the better brand ones? a little over 100+
Would be something I would look into for sure If I had Black Tar, but here in NYC we have Cement in most places unless you go to Long Island, they have more Asphalt driveways over there.
Yeah, this is way better product than the pails of sealer you buy at hardware stores for sure, far more expensive. The job is worth a little more than than your guessed amount, I won't give the exact amount .... Thanks
How many coats of asphalt do you provide, it looks too thin, if it's only one coating, it will not last very long. It's supposed to be thicker and hot coming out of a machine. You are just coating the top of the old asphalt.
It's not Asphalt its a Sealcoating. From the looks of it Gilsonite. Which is a oil based product but not new Asphalt
It's seal coating, not paving.
That light of a coat isn’t sealing anything. 🤣
@@HuntMountain06 LOL okay then, enlighten us Mr. Pro
@@FastFordClub 🤣A blind man can see you have almost no penetration. Don’t get mad. Just label the video “Cosmetic Facelift” or “Lipstick on a pig” instead of asphalt sealing.
Really hoping it doesn’t snow where these jobs are because if it does you are providing a straight up scam.
If you can’t handle the criticism don’t post videos on TH-cam.
What type of sprayer is that ?
I build the setup myself, basically a small engine driving a hydraulic pump thru a t-relieve valve, to see a little more check out my video called "New Wand and Hose Day" I believe it shows a little more of the equipment
Can this be sprayed onto a concrete driveway ?
@@pjaython6030 Hi, no I would not recommend that, I have done it before but the problem is it does not stick really well, it will peel off after a while
@@pjaython6030 you can get concrete paint to change the color
What spray wand is that? Thanks
That's the T-Jet AA23H from MK Rittenhouse works really well for sure
@@FastFordClub thank you!!

Seems kinda thin
Not a lot of sand and not a lot of pressure. Pretty thin.

@@gheezymarro8755 just like everyone watching this video
Does this add any value, besides it looks new?
Protects the asphault from the elements, extending its life by at a minimum of 5 years from ice, rain, salt, and temperature shock.
5 years from a spray.. that isnt thick enough for that.. a real poured on tar would last and fill in gaps
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 no liquid product will fill the gaps

Why does everyone expect a tip for the job they're already getting paid to do. WTF even seen a tip jar at a battery store, yeah give me a tip for wheeling out a battery from the back.
Well, we certainly do not expect any tips every, but this awesome customer offered and insisted. But yeah, I do not expect tip to be given.
@@FastFordClub May you always have pride in you work. Don't let some people sour you from doing a satisfying job. You did fabulous.
@@deborahshufflebarger5381 Thank you very much
I tipped $20 to the gentleman at Autozone for swapping my battery out. He Carried the old one in by hand, brought the new one on cart and installed it. Would've tipped $50 but I never have cash on me. Well worth it to me
I have no problem w/tipping for great work but everyone setting the jar out is ridiculous.
Doesn't look like it's very thick.
it isnt.. doesnt even fill in the pavement voids.
Can you use this over shingles?
I would not recommend that, it would color them but no real protection I don't think
