Choose the Protection
That's Right for You
Both methods use the same high-quality sealcoating material and are applied by our experienced crew. The difference is in how the product is laid down — and what that means for your driveway's specific needs.
Spraycoat Sealcoating
Professional coverage. Smart value.
Using a specialized spray wand, our crew applies sealcoat in a precise, even layer across your entire driveway surface. Modern spray technology has come a long way — today's equipment delivers consistent, controlled coverage that penetrates the asphalt's pores and bonds to the surface for lasting protection.
Spray application is efficient by design, which means less time in your driveway and a lower price point without sacrificing quality. If your driveway is in solid condition and you're looking for reliable protection at a great value, spraycoat delivers.
- ✓Even, consistent coverage across the entire surface
- ✓Penetrates asphalt pores for strong adhesion
- ✓Fast, efficient application — less disruption to your day
- ✓Precise material control with specialized equipment
- ✓Great value for well-maintained driveways
Squeegee Sealcoating
Maximum thickness. Done by hand.
Squeegee application is the hands-on approach to sealcoating — and there's a reason it's been the trusted method for decades. Our crew manually works the sealcoat across your driveway using a professional squeegee, pressing the material deep into the asphalt and ensuring it fills every crack, void, and low point along the way.
The result is a notably thicker coat that bonds at a deeper level. It takes more time and more material — which is reflected in the price — but for driveways that have seen some wear, have surface irregularities, or where you simply want the most thorough treatment possible, squeegee is the premium choice.
- ✓Thicker application for deeper, longer-lasting protection
- ✓Manually worked into cracks, voids, and surface texture
- ✓Superior bond — sealer pressed directly into the asphalt
- ✓Ideal for driveways with visible wear or surface variation
- ✓A meticulous, detail-focused finish
