Be Confident in Your Approach

A well-sealed driveway not only enhances your property’s curb appeal but also protects the surface from weather, wear, and the effects of time. Choosing to seal your driveway is a practical investment, whether for a residential or commercial property. Here’s a walkthrough of what to expect from Salisbury Pro Sealers’ driveway sealing process, so you can approach the project confidently from the first consultation to the final finish.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment
Every driveway sealing project with Salisbury Pro Sealers begins with a detailed consultation and assessment. During this visit, a professional from the team will assess the current condition of your driveway, checking for any signs of damage, cracking, or areas needing special attention. This initial assessment helps establish the scope of work and enables the team to provide a precise estimate. Additionally, this is an opportunity to discuss your specific goals and preferences for the project, so that the results align with your vision.

Step 2: Surface Preparation
Once the project is scheduled, the process starts with meticulous surface preparation, a critical step to ensure the sealant adheres effectively. Surface preparation generally includes cleaning, crack filling, and repairing minor damage. First, a thorough power wash removes dirt, debris, oil stains, and any residue that might interfere with the sealant. Next, the team addresses any visible cracks or imperfections on the driveway surface, filling them with appropriate materials. This step is essential, as it helps prevent moisture from seeping into cracks after sealing, which could cause further damage over time. By preparing the surface properly, Salisbury Pro Sealers ensures a smooth, durable finish that maximizes the lifespan of the sealant.

Step 3: Choosing the Right Sealant
Driveways vary in terms of material and usage, and selecting the right sealant is a vital part of the process. Salisbury Pro Sealers takes care to choose a high-quality, industry-standard sealant that matches the specific needs of each driveway, whether it’s asphalt or concrete. The choice of sealant may depend on factors like climate, expected traffic load, and the driveway’s age. With professional-grade products, Salisbury Pro Sealers prioritizes durability and protection, ensuring that the sealed surface can withstand daily wear, weather, and seasonal temperature changes for years to come.

Step 4: Applying the Sealant
With the driveway prepped and the sealant selected, the actual sealing process begins. The application method, whether spraying or brushing, is chosen to suit the material and surface requirements. The team applies the sealant in even, controlled layers, paying close attention to edges and corners to ensure a uniform coating. Precision is key here, as an even application not only enhances the driveway’s appearance but also guarantees consistent protection across the entire surface. The professionals at Salisbury Pro Sealers use their expertise to ensure no spots are missed, and the sealant is evenly spread, preventing issues like streaking or uneven wear.

Step 5: Curing and Final Inspection
After the sealant is applied, the driveway must cure, a process that typically takes anywhere from 24 to 48 hours, depending on the weather conditions and the type of sealant used. During this time, it’s essential to avoid walking or driving on the surface to allow the sealant to set completely. Once the curing period is complete, Salisbury Pro Sealers conducts a final inspection, ensuring the sealant has bonded properly and the finish meets their high-quality standards. This final inspection is part of their commitment to delivering a product that not only looks great but also performs well under daily use.

Maintaining the Sealed Driveway
A newly sealed driveway offers significant protection, but a few maintenance tips can help you get the most out of your investment. For example, avoid parking heavy vehicles or placing sharp objects on the surface immediately after sealing. To keep the driveway looking fresh and to prolong its lifespan, consider annual cleaning and avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the sealant. Regular maintenance will help preserve the finish, ensuring that your driveway continues to enhance your property’s appeal and function over the long term.
