You're probably one of those 90% water 10% seal guys who want to return every year. They're doing a job that proves any homeowner can do it. - roads crew employee
@@johns1187 I watch the video till the end. They put all the excess material in the grass on the edge. They did not cut the edge of the driveway it splattered all over. And the middle of the driveway has footprints. Which the footprints will be even more noticeable when it dries. This is the best job if you want to "cut all the corners"
I waited till the end and I saw three major mistakes. 1.) 4:00 - 4:06 You left so much excess on the edge of the grass- black grass does not look good, 2.) 4:00 you did not cut in the edge of the driveway so you ended up with splatter on the road- uneven line of sealer does not look good, and 3.) 4:08 you left footprints in the middle- seeing footprints (once dried) on a freshly sealed driveway is displeasing for the homeowner.
Looks like a lot of people commented before seeing the entire video. If you watch, they run the long way and then side to side and they covered their prints. By the end, it was a job well done.
There was three mistakes. All around the four-minute Mark you can see. Two of which are very major, at least to the paying client homeowner. 1.) They did not cut the edge of the driveway where it meets the road. 4:00 2.) 4:00 - 4:06 the Sides of the driveway where it meets the grass, the grass is covered with the excess sealer. They used too much and they pushed it over into the yard, though grass can be cut and grows back those clients are displeased upon seeing that because it's not eye-pleasing nor does it seem professional. 3.) They did not pull behind themselves I only pushed in front of them so that means when the sealer dries Footprints will be visible. Again it's not pleasing to the customer. Even though the driveway will get dirty again it's the fact that it's a Fresh coat and it's not I pleasing. At least for me the clients matter more than the job. And if anyone's trying to start a business I suggest caring more for the client than just getting the job done quick. Even if the job was done correct without taking any shortcuts it's still would have been a quick job. Suggestions: cut the edges of with the driveway with a brush that you can handle I would make a good line, especially use at the front of the driveway make a straight line that meets the road. Pull squeegee or brush from behind, I recommend a squeegee. And that way you won't get your feet in it saving your shoes but also having a nice appearance in the driveway. don't put down an excess amount of sealer if you don't need to only use what you need.
@user-ug4xk7fu2p I don't have a video myself, but I recommend reading the suggestions in my comment from 2 years ago. If you're wondering about good videos to watch suggest just search "how to properly seal a driveway" in the search bar.
Looks good, but I've never seen anyone work the material in the order. Generally you cut in near home, then dispense material and work backwards and brush both ways from left to right. But hey gets the job done.
vad we do this way because we can mix and cover better bed spots and dirty spots, doing hard with the brooms, the foot prints are taken out going across side by side and edges at the end, try get done one driveway like this, Also is much easy to work around Belgian blocks, think if you try do a driveway like this, you going to start doing this way to!
@@sealcoating why wouldn't you do as the ashpalt paving company that installed it and also the Pro Seal Coating crews. $ay? Please allow to cure 6 months before you put the 1st coat of coal tar emulsion or Ashpalt Emulsion down. And now you can seal your Ashpalt as often as you want be we recommend that it is sealed 6 months 1coat and first coating as suggested from the installer then you can wait 18 months and keep it going bling bling.
Anibal Rivera you may see stripes makers for the brooms, where going across and edges, you may see a different shade on edges because is cut on other direction at the end, but the color should be the same.
@@sealcoating I did mine by squeegee, but noticed some areas depending where you are stand you can see the squeegee marks like having a different tone. Is this normal (sunlight reflection). Would be ok to apply a second coat?
That’s complete normal It’s the sun light and de direction you pull the squeeze, when you change directions or because has been done in sun day, you may see diferentes shades.
What product is being used? I purchased the Latex-ite at Home Depot and it's a freaking nightmare. Like trying to spread toothpaste. Certainly not this thin and easy to apply. I want to return it for something, ANYTHING else.
@@Worthfishing Yeah, I finally realized that I was going to be forced to dilute it to get it to work. When I did, it worked SO much better. This is one product where people definitely should NOT follow the manufacturer's instructions.
@@upnatm2 Yeah and it will last longer. People that put this on real thick don’t realize that after a while it starts peeling and flaking because it has sand in it..sand separates..you’re better off to thin it down like 25% and do two coats it will last for years! trust me I’ve been seal coating for 40 years.Over 40 years I put it on every which way you can think of and what I found out what makes it last longer is by using a brush coater specially made for applying sealer and doing two thin coats.
Latex Ite is a good Sealer. But I recommend everyone to apply early in the morning and is possible on the shade, also add same water, 20%, it will make the sealer easy to apply, taking more time to start dry, any sealer has to be done quicker, when starts dry is hard to give the driveway a good finish.

Hi, I came across your video. I want to seal my asphalt driveway. I wanted to know if using a broom is better than a squeegee. Also can you use a roller? What do you use to fill cracks? Any recommendations on a brand to use. Looks really good guys. I hope my comes out the same way. Thanks
You can use the squeeze or a broom, roller is not good. We use brooms because is better to mix with dirty spots and oil spots on old driveways and because is faster. Also in my opinion, it looks nice and uniform at the end.
If you start your own business make sure you don't do what they did. Make sure you cut in the driveway from the road don't just splatter it on the road. Make sure you don't put the excess of that amount back on to the yard. Make sure you use enough for the job but not too much that you put a lot on the grass. You should cut in your edges first, then work by pulling the sealer. Clients will thank you later and most likely call you back.
Anibal Rivera residential work we do all by hand, brushing entire driveway, it will make the driveway looks much better then spraying. We only use the spray for parking lots.
@@sealcoating huh thats a good idea . and your guys were laying it down thats for sure fast too but i would rather cut it in doing the edges with push brooms and then let the sealer spray a nice even uniform coat also i do 2 coats everytime and at the road i roll out ashpalt roll of roofing freshest crispy line out at the road and no jagged edges . thats just me but i see you got it now get up refill the tank get the edgers blowers and shovels and its may bro let the sealer go and get that papef.
@@136lt6 "OK snowflake". You really came back with an great argument there. "I'm trying to start my own business." 136 LT -2021. Good luck with your way of communicating.
If these guys do 10 jobs a day, one person could only do 7. Its the driving time between houses that limits numerical production. That extra 3 jobs they get done MORE than pays for the second guy to be there all day. And if the customer or a neighbor comes out and starts griping, its always good to have backup. Every 20 jobs you always get some asshole trying to bother you no matter what you do. And who knows..... The boss maybe makes 100/hr + The one main worker makes $30=hr and has no driver's licence. The other worker is slow, but has a licence and makes 15/hr, and is content as the other 2 guys.
Pushing and pulling this is not the way to do sealer..it clearly states to go in 1 dorection. Damn can he even read his own product and how to use it.. also, that's brown, not black.
First, all sealer dryes dark grey, no black. Second, you do one way when you are not professional and is working alone, wach the entire video and you will see one off the guys doing the finish on sealer, we do over 300 driveways a year, i am pretty shure what we are doing, broom residential driveway is best for quality an looks amazing.
@sealcoating is not a professional. Lol says the guy who has a dude in timberland is not even tied. Talking about professional. Lmao pro, you're not. There's a reason you do drive ways and not government jobs. See, we're not on the same level, hero.. your so-called pro wouldn't even be allowed on a military base to work.
Just watching these guys walk all through the sealer is telling me that this is a good job hahahaha
They replace shoes every day 🤣
This is horrendous. They lleft so much excess sealer on the driveway I bet they had to come back next day and scrape it all off and redo the job.

On 5/16/20 I will be my adventure in EH resurfacing my driveway....
If you trying to do yourself and alone, do early in the morning or late after sun, then you will have time to get foot prints out before start drying.
Totally a great job. Enjoyed watching you guys. Thanks
Ronald Stephens thanks for the compliment! I personal make shure all driveways get done at best way is possible.
Found Trump's alt account.
How long should you wait to seal a new asphalt driveway? Thanks
D Who? Once every year
D Who? You should wait 2 years. Seal the driveway every 2 to 3 years.
2 years to seal

It hots to be away to not leave foot prints on the grass right
What you do with the broom
Or how you clean it after ?
You got to have a broom Sealer box with water, then you can reuse the broom on your next job
Is normal to have some stripes or color differences in some areas after the application?
Anibal Rivera you may see stripes makers for the brooms, where going across and edges, you may see a different shade on edges because is cut on other direction at the end, but the color should be the same.
@@sealcoating I did mine by squeegee, but noticed some areas depending where you are stand you can see the squeegee marks like having a different tone. Is this normal (sunlight reflection). Would be ok to apply a second coat?
That’s complete normal
It’s the sun light and de direction you pull the squeeze, when you change directions or because has been done in sun day, you may see diferentes shades.
No it should all be uniform. However I wont use a squeegee. I broom and never have color difference
@@johnnycarter1966 squeegee is used for a more "shiny" and uniform finish. Brush is used for textured finish.

Just add a little water to it and mix it up it’s better to have it a little thin then to have to thick

"Asphalt Sealer" or "Driveway Sealer"
sellador de asfalto
This is seems to be water based sealer. I heard oil based sealer are much more effective and last longer. Any thoughts?
There is no oil base sealer, all sesler is water base. We use coal tar sand mix sealer.
@@sealcoating Blackmac Cutback is a oiled based sealer...
@@asadniazi9256. Is this the kind of sealer you recommend?
@@sealcoating. What brand do you use and how long does it last
@@user-ug4xk7fu2p a week ago i put a oil based sealer on my drive. Blackmac asphalt sealer. It last at least 3 to 4 yrs.
I do this for a living they did a great job
Because you do this for a living doesn’t mean they did a great job if you do it like this you’re doing it wrong too
He didn't go all the way across the driveway left blobs of sealer all down prolly got a complaint 😄
How many gallons to do this driveway?
Guess it was 20 or 25 galons!!

How much a job like that cost ?

Is around $300
Pro-Sealers Sealcoating and Asphalt Repairs but should of been around $550
Pete Stanley for a small driveway is our price, 550 is for a driveway over 2000sf
Yeah with half a day spent on crack filling and cleaning
Why walk all thru it. Start one area and work your way back. Squeegees also work better than brooms
Also why not spray it....theyve got a rig capable of doing it...
