Driveway Sealcoating Chronicles - S2:E1 - "Richmond, Virginia"

Welcome back to the 2024 Sealcoating Season!
We're beyond excited to be operating full-time in a newish market that we've been servicing on a part-time basis; Richmond, VA for the past several years. We've got a great team in New Jersey that's handling operations as we type & we'll be jumping back up and down for some the larger projects we have scheduled this summer.
In the meantime, it's all systems go with the same services and expertise we've been providing up and down the East Coast.
Follow us along as we grow our driveway sealcoating and concrete coating business in two different states.
We had some comments asking to slow down our brushing speed on the time lapse to get a better idea as to the techniques, so here ya go!

Congratulations on everything man. It’s awesome watching you grow man. Keep it up!

[@royerfromjersey]

Very much appreciated, thank you!

[@chrisryan8863]

Welcome back! It looks great. One question: do you ever use an oil primer product to help the sealer adhere to spots with motor oil on the asphalt? If so, what is your opinion on well those products actually work in terms of

[@royerfromjersey]

Yep! We use the Prep Seal from Sealmaster in the blue jug. We don't guarantee any spots unless they want a full rip and removal, but it does help the sealer adhere better.

[@javierlopez1623]

Great work question how many coats you guys do one or two?

[@royerfromjersey]

Thank you! For residential we one coat with the broom finish. Commercial we'll spray two coats.

[@cmichales3113]

What’s in the squirt bottle and spraying the rocks and edges while you’re sealing?

[@royerfromjersey]

Lol calling me out! Just kidding, good question! It's just water we keep in the spray bottle that we use to clean any sealer we accidently touch with the broom / brush. I'm sorta OCD about that kind of stuff and always try to leave the property like we were never there

[@iantripp1667]

Is there a special trick to getting the rubber crack fill to disburse out of the side at a consistent rate when u pull the trigger?

[@royerfromjersey]

Normally, it should pour out a pretty consistent rate with the trigger and valve open. I try to keep the U shoe full of material and with enough to just finish the crack. If it's a flow rate issue out of the spout, I'd take off the cotter pin and remove the sleeve to see if there's clogs or coked / burnt build up inside the stem from the kettle chamber > downspout out of the machine.

[@peterszenkowski7769]

ever wonder why the brush handles are so long?

[@royerfromjersey]

Good question! More length to charge us more for probably lol

[@peterszenkowski7769]

That too.. But the real reason is that you push the sealer down and than pull up the broom. Than you hit it sideways like you do.. That brush rubs that asphalt from all sides.

[@royerfromjersey]

@@peterszenkowski7769 all sorts of different techniques out there. Different strokes for different folks!

[@muziv82]

Hey, I wanted to hire you. I’m in NJ. Are you done (you, personally) with seal coating in Central Jersey?

[@royerfromjersey]

I'll personally be back up for a few commercial concrete projects and will hopefully be able to get out with the team to knock out a few driveways in between our downtime. Feel free to shoot me an email and we'll see what we can line up! [e-mail]

[@muziv82]
