Professional Driveway Sealcoating #25 "Sebastian"

This video goes out to our #1 fan, Sebastian! Thanks for watching little buddy.
There's lots of "1st Person" camera-view here as requested. This driveway was a BIG "soaker". It had a flagstone border leading up to the front door. NO PROBLEM. Here I'm are using a 4 foot brush only. Start to finish this took about 45 minutes. The sun ended up coming out when I was about halfway through. You always want to move quickly, but also efficiently. Getting sealer on the flagstone or garage apron could be disastrous. Slow and steady wins the race. Let me know what you think below.

What is SEALCOATING and why should I do it?
1. Sealcoating protects and prolongs the life expectancy of asphalt pavement by filling surface damage and providing a protective layer to keep out damaging UV rays, vehicle fluids, and water.
2. The low cost of regular sealcoating can save you money in the long run. A properly maintained and sealed asphalt surface has an extended lifetime and reduces long-term repair costs.
3. With exposure to the elements, asphalt pavement over time becomes faded in appearance. A fresh sealcoat application enhances the appearance of asphalt, making it look and wear like new.
4. Sealcoating is typically done using one of two application methods: spray or squeegee/brush.
5. Sealcoating accelerates the melting process of snow and ice on pavement surfaces. This helps to protect against water penetration, rain, frost and snow damage.
6. To correctly complete the sealcoating process, the air and pavement temperature is recommended to be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit for the duration of the application and for eight hours following the application.
7. Prior to pavement sealing, the asphalt surface should be cleared of all dirt and debris. In addition, minor repairs, like potholes and cracks, should be filled and vehicle fluids, like oil, should be properly removed.

Hey nice job bro, good work. What town are u working in?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Chester County, Pennsylvania

[@T.S.T2014]

Can you imagine the feeling of being out for the day and coming home to your driveway perfectly resealed by these guys. I’d get a beer and a chair and stare at it till the sun went down.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Hopefully the HOA, if they have one, lets them park in the street. Seeing as they can't drive on the driveway for a few days. But, yeah, it is beautiful. I just hope it sticks well to those greasy/wet? spots.

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Just a little damp, no problem.

Indeed

[@LauraJebnRayna]

This is one of the best videos you've made. I love watching all your videos. It's like watching an artist paint a picture. I find it very relaxing especially with the sounds of the puddles and the brush and the truck (and no music.) Up close is best as you can see what's going on so much better. 😊 Well done! 👏

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Thank you very much

Between 7-10 minuets is a work of skill and art. No pebbles or pavers were harmed in the making of this movie.

[@NINERSbaby]

Man brushing through the puddle is so SATISFYING and hearing it going through too! 👍🏽

[@thomasarussellsr]

Yup, and doing it right by brushing it in multiple directions to really work it into the asphalt. That will leave a much better coating/result than the crews you see just dragging it straight down the driveway in a single flood coat.

[@marcelomoreira2447]

I'd like to know how someone can say that is easy money. Lot of techniques, spending a lot of time, effort, everything to make a perfect job day by day. You rock bro, you have the gift to do that! ❣👍

[@thomasarussellsr]

True, there is some attention to detail and some skill involved, but it isn't exactly back breaking labor. So on the blue collar side of things, this is a fairly easy job, labor wise. The main down side of course is that it is weather dependent and fairly seasonal, so the income isn't exactly steady. So, you have to pace you expenditures accordingly to spread them out over the year, business wise, as well as personally. Maybe even take a side job in the off season.

[@MajorityIsIrrelevant]

Hi watching from Australia 🇦🇺. I really enjoy your videos and love watching the seal coating for some reason. I bet it stinks to high heaven though hehe 😜. Thanks for sharing your work 👍🏼

[@teacherturnedhomesteader7368]

Super relaxing video puts me to sleep at night then I have to rewind to see the vid

[@thomasarussellsr]

My driveway is gravel, but these videos make me want an asphalt driveway, real bad. Wishing it was in my budget, but right now I am still looking for that post pandemic work position, so I don't really have a budget to squeeze it into as I have no income. We're getting by on the wife's less than $800 US per month SSI.

[@jenniferw5095]

I wanted him to move the hose because that area was so cramped for a few minutes. I know he was edging but I still wanted that hose out of the way. I get followed by 3 big dogs throughout my day, so maybe it's that feeling of not being able to organize and clean with 3 dogs jockeying for attention and treats and wanting to chase squirrels outside. Can I just get some housekeeping done, please? 🐈‍⬛🐕🦮 Beautiful job!! I can't wait to have my very own driveway that I can have sealed. It just better be this good.

[@JoeyHamm3rStix]

Relaxing to watch. Nice job. Seems like a small 6” brush up near the garage would be easier to maneuver and come in handy.

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

[@noahproblemo1257]

You don’t have to be a perfectionist to do this work but, if you’re not everyone will know.

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

😂 SO TRUE

[@thomasarussellsr]

He got those narrow parts by the garage with that big brush, but I think I'd have to keep a 3-4 inch brush handy for those smaller areas myself. I am starting to get a bit of a tremmor in my hands, and would rather cut in around "do not cover/touch" areas with a more controllable brush myself than risk "coloring outside the lines". But he's still young with a steady hand, so if this giant brush works for him, as it obviously does, more power to him. I only saw one place were the grass got painted pretty good.

[@macsloan58]

It’s a cold, crappy day in Western Pennsylvania and I am in front of the wood burner watching this video. Thanks for warming my day. I have a torn muscle in my thigh and can’t do much as it heals. And….I won’t watch the NFL because of various factors. Even if it were an option, I would watch this. Also, please get a backpack blower - you won’t regret it. Buy a Stihl with the electric start. It’s the only one to get. I look forward to seeing you use it. 😏😀

Watching you work I feel like that guy at every road-work site who is leaning on a shovel and watching. I have a couple questions if you could; at the end of the day do you have to purge the hose and wand of sealer? Or soak and clean your broom/squeegee?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Everything goes into a brush box. We only clean out at the end of the year. All seal tools remain submerged until it’s time to use them. We use 4 foot brushes.

[@larrywarolin7215]

Nice asphalt, good slope, professional brush. Does it get any easier? I wish my drive was in that good of shape

[@rickrick8953]

My dude outstanding work every driveway is flawless. How often are neighbors approaching you guys while your working looking to get theres done?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

A few times per day. As long as they wait until the end, it’s all good. It’s tough to stop the work and talk to them.

[@mariaisabelsilva957]

Uhuuuuuu 👌legal👌🇧🇷

[@apparatus4chill]

I need a 4 × to watch it more satisfyingly

[@teodormurgovski3318]

Any reason why you guys push the sealer instead of pulling it? Or is it just what works for you guys? We find pulling the sealcoat to take half the time, which also means we never have to walk in it. Love the content!

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

I honestly think pushing in multiple directions is the best application method.

[@bl1352]

Do you guys use a coal tar or asphalt emulsion product? Do you put in additional additives?

[@user-ci7bs7gv7l]

It`s pretty cool ! and I`m courios about the performance evaluation on these Tack Coat . How long dose it take to creak or Deterioation

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

About 3-5 years

[@brandonshaffer3144]

Great work!! I have been in the business for years, we do mostly commercial lots. Few questions. Where are you located? What material do you use, is it seal master? And last one why brush vs squeegee?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

We're in Pennsylvania. We fill up at an asphalt company. I just feel brushing in multiple direction gives the best results.

[@JoeyHamm3rStix]

Also I sealed for 6 years and never wore a respirator witch now I wish I would a have. When do you use yours? Only for spraying? Or brush and spray?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Dont know if you’ve answered this before, but do you listen to music or something like that when you’re working? Really love the videos!

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Hi Sofia. I never listen to music when I seal. I need to listen to the compressor, make sure everything working properly and not leaking all over the road. I’m always singing song in my head though 🎤

[@wdeetee80]

Nice I do the exact same work out in north chicago suburds so happy it's the winter. It's a seasonal job here! Does anyone know what town this young man is sealing in?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

[@jeramyjohnson1511]

Do you guys have to dispose the broom comb every day, or are they reusable?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

Reusable. They go into a brush box filled with water. They wear out every two weeks or so.

[@TheBarry57]

It looks like this is a new, never sealed before driveway. Is there anything you do differently in this case? Does it require more product?

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

New or unsealed asphalt can sometimes take 2x the amount of material.

[@adam.neese25]

Hey I got a curious question for you in your videos the liquid that you put down is brown is that the color is going to stay or when it dries it becomes black is that rotard that you're putting down or what is it

It dries jet black. It’s emulsion

Is it possible to gravity feed the sealcoat out of a hose? From say a tank in the bed of a pickup truck through a 50 foot hose?

I didn’t know the physics of that. You can always gravity feed out of the tank into 5 gallon buckets 🪣, and pour from there.

Any problems with the seal when it is damp?

With drying possibly. You definitely need 48 hours of sun and ZERO % rain. At that time of the year (mid October) the high temperature was 75. We’re constantly checking the weather forecast.

[@SEALCOATINGISLIFE]

It's all priced by square footage. We have minimums unless they are getting a group rate. Sometime we'll do 10 smaller ones that are in walking distance too each other for a reduced rate. It's all about what you are comfortable with.
