Important questions to ask when getting quotes to seal coat your driveway:
1. How will you be applying the product, do you guarantee that the product won't end up on my house, garage, or lawn? In most cases, residential driveways should be brushed, not sprayed. It takes longer and uses more product, but it will usually be longer lasting, have cleaner edges and no chance of over spray on your house when compared to being sprayed on. Spraying is best for larger parking lots, not small driveways.
2. Are you local? This is very important as it's hard to get an out of town company to come back and fix poor workmanship once they have your money. It's just not worth saving $100 if you have to pay for the job to be re done or for your garage door to be professionally cleaned.
3. How long have you been in business? How many years of application experience does the crew have that will be doing my driveway? You want to make sure that the money your spending is going to be applied properly and with attention to detail.
4. Lastly, to be real sure, you can ask to see other driveways that they have done in your area. If the company is good and reputable, they should be able to provide at least a few examples for you to drive by and look at in your area.
Asking these questions ahead of time will greatly reduce your chances of being scammed by a fly by night company passing through town or help you to avoid a local company that does shoddy work.
