DOs and DON’Ts
What happens if I seal my driveway myself?
Do it yourself and this is what your driveway will look like:
This is a result of store bought do-it-yourself roll on acrylic sealer.
I have many driveways that start cracking up because water based acrylic does not mix with the oil based tar.
Oil and water do not mix!
We won't use an oil based sealer, which wont cause cracking like the acrylic sealer.
Should I hose down my Driveway and clean it up?
Driveway Guys power blows, scrapes and brooms your driveway before sealing, so hosing down your driveway can be a big help for us. If you decide to hose down your driveway please do the hosing the night before and not the day of your appointment. We need a dry surface to apply the sealant.
Should anything be left in the driveway?
No. Please make sure your driveway is clear of all vehicles, pots, plants, etc.
Scheduling
What happens if I'm not home on the day of appointment?
Just continue your normal daily activities as usual and make sure all vehicles, pots, planters, etc. are off your driveway. Driveway Guys will do a the job and rope off Again.
Product Information
What product do you use to seal a driveway?
We use world famous Black Mac by McAsphalt.
Is your product oil based or acrylic?
Our product is oil based.
Acrylic is water based and your driveway is oil based.
WATER AND OIL DO NOT MIX.
Weather
What happens if it rains the day of my appointment before you've arrived?
We will have to reschedule. Usually We will come the next day depending on how busy we are.
A Driveway Guys representative will call or email to confirm the new appointment.
What happens if it rains right after your finish or there is rain in the forecast?
No Problem! Although we have to apply our world famous BlackMac sealer on a dry surface, our sealer is oil base and if it happens to rain minutes after applying the rain will bead right off the driveway not doing any damage at all. We guarantee all of our work 100%.
