What are the benefits of our driveway sealing services?

Coating and sealing your driveway or parking lot within the crucial period of the first three years is important. Driveway sealing shields it from water penetration and oxidation, blocking out deteriorating agents such as rain, wind, snow, sun, ice, and frost. It also provides resistance to spills such as antifreeze, oil, fuel, and salt. Our sealer is made from a coal tar emulsion which does not dissolve in oil or gas. Our asphalt sealer works to extend pavement life by reducing exposure from water and oxygen.

Asphalt pavements are a conglomerate of sand, glue, and rock which is the liquefied agent that binds everything together.

Such a surface can be protected by applying a seal coating which functions as a shield between elements which can break asphalt pavement down. Typically a coal tar emulsion sealer is applied which protects against water, salt, gas, chemicals, and UV radiation. It effectively combats the asphalt pavement from degradation.

In addition to saving money in the long run, another one of the advantages of seal coating is that it is an investment which adds to the value of your property and improves its aesthetic appeal to your patrons. The first thing a possible tenant or customer notices is the parking lot. Is it well maintained? Does it have a pleasing appearance? Is safety an issue? To themselves they think. "If they take care of their parking lot then they must take care of their condominiums or apartments." It is a well secured fact by marketing studies that a well maintained property results in higher occupancy frequencies, fewer turnovers, and generally more satisfaction.

A fresh coat of seal adds a dark black color to the surface, making it appear and wear new. Such a look creates a clean, rich appearance that suggests a positive image of the company, residential complex, or facility.

A sound base and sub base is needed by good pavement. When crack sealing is done right, water is kept from coming into and weakening these areas. With enough damage there can be a loss of structural support, which can then result in more cracking or weaknesses and can eventually develop into a pothole. Crack sealing can preserve the pavement beside the cracks. Cracks that are cleaned and sealed properly are composed of material that adheres firmly to the sides throughout the year, during which the pavement expands and contracts. Without crack sealing the material beside the pavement will undergo more contact with the elements, which results in hardening and secondary cracking along the main crack, and increased oxidation of the binder.

Driveway sealing removes the deleterious effects of sand, stone and dirt. When such bits of matter find their ways into cracks they can limit crack closure during warmer weather. Moreover, they can result in compressive pressure at the face of the cracks that can result in chipping and loosening of the asphalt concrete. In cases of extremely oxidized pavements such stresses can cause the pavement to lip, which is an upheaval of concrete at slanting fissures. Driveway sealing will extend the life of pavement as well as saving money. Sealing cracks, controlling pavement interferences, crack growth, and base and sub base conditions, pavement life will be extended. Reinforcing adjacent pavement is done by filling in cracks to reduce water damages and strengthens it. Crack sealing is done by placing prepared materials either into or above pavement cracks that prevents the intrusion of harsh elements. For more information visit the following links:

"The work should not impact the parent drop-off circle but, just as a safety precaution, please use extra care when entering and exiting our driveway on Friday," the notice stated. "The work is expected to be finished by mid-day so we do not anticipate any impact on dismissal traffic."

Wayland Middle School classes, as well as after-school and evening activities,were canceled Thursday due tothe water main break, which resulted in no water in the building.

Many students were already on the bus and headed for school when the break occurred. According to a message sent earlier in the morning, these children were rerouted to Wayland High School's Field House, where they were cared for by Wayland Middle School staff until they could be picked up by families.

AIKEN, SC (WRDW)

"It was about 12:30 we were having lunch and he knocked on the door," said Pauline Woodward. Woodward who is 80-years-old and her husband, Kelly who is 96-years-old say they invited the man on the other side of the door into their home. "Jimmy Mack, that was the one that came up to the door," said Woodward.

She says Mack was with Four Seasons Painting and Coating out of Augusta and that he could spray coat her driveway and fill the cracks making it look brand new for next to nothing. "Oh it will look so much better we can spray it and it'll turn grey just like new concrete," said Woodward.

Thirty minutes later, Woodward says her driveway was covered in what appears to be just white paint. Two weeks since the work has been finished, the paint is peeling when it rains, exposing the original concrete surface underneath. Unhappy with the work, she says she did not feel it was worth $640. She says Mack agreed to settle for a lesser price.

"Just $600, give me $600," said Woodward. Not much of a difference and hundreds of dollars more than she says the original verbal estimate was for. "He was very convincing," said Woodward.

She said she had learned an expensive lesson and will think twice the next time someone comes knocking on her door with an offer that seems too good to be true. "I feel terrible. I feel terrible about what's happened," said Woodward.

We called the number listed with the company but it was disconnected. Meanwhile our investigation found no company operating in Augusta by the name of Four Seasons Painting and Coating.

The Better Business Bureau says: do not ever contract with any paving, seal coating, roofing or home improvement company that knocks on your door.

SEMMES, Ala. (WALA) - The Mobile County Sheriff Office said driveway scammers will use real sealant with diesel fuel to spray driveways and scam you out of money. It happened to a Semmes woman yesterday when the scammers asked for $1,700 for paving an elderly woman's driveway.

I couldn't believe it was $1,700 dollars I said you've got to be kidding. I said I told you I didn't have the money for this where am I supposed to get it from? You don't just walk up and hand a senior citizen a bill for $1,700 dollars when I told you I didn't have the money, the woman said who asked us not to use her name.

She says two men approached her last week and offered to repave her driveway. She initially turned them away but they came back Thursday, January 9 asking to fill in some pot holes.

Once the job was done, she gave the men $140 and they left. She then called 911 and reported the fact she believed she was scammed.

When she and her son-in-law Fred Steiner went to check on the driveway, they discovered puddles of liquid and right underneath the newly paved driveway, was dirt.

It reminds me of some kind of used motor oil or a hydraulic fluid. It doesn't smell like what you would put on a driveway, Steiner said. It seems like theres a lot of water in it, said her son-in-law, Fred Steiner.

"It's beautiful when it's done but the first rain will wash it away," said investigator Laura Soulier with the Mobile County Sheriffs Office.

She said driveway scams happen often and the best thing to remember is youre in control.

Your driveway scammers will do as little work as possible and they'll threaten you. I'm telling seniors its okay to say no, it's okay to talk it over with somebody, Soulier said.

She advises calling police if youre unsure about a business practice and believe it could be a scam.

MOBILE. Ala. (WALA) - Fred Steiner said his 85-year-old mother-in-law was scammed out of $140 dollars after two men went to her house, saying her driveway needed repairing.

Last week the elderly woman who asked not to be named saidshe told the men to go away, but the men returned Thursday, January 9 and starting paving her driveway then demanded $1,700 in payment.

I couldn't believe it was $1,700 dollars I said you've got to be kidding. I said I told you I didn't have the money for this where am I supposed to get it from? You don't just walk up and hand a senior citizen a bill for $1,700 dollars when I told you I didn't have the money, the woman said.

Steiner said the men cussed and harassed her until she gave them money and threatened to sue her if she didnt pay.

His mother in-law gave the men $140 and left. She then called 911 and reported the fact she believed she was scammed.

When she and Steiner later went to check on the driveway, they discovered puddles of liquid and right underneath the newly paved driveway was dirt.

It reminds me of some kind of used motor oil or a hydraulic fluid. It doesn't smell like what you would put on a driveway, Steiner said. It seems like theres a lot of water in it.

The grandmother claims there was no name on the truck driven by the two men and they never told her who they were.

Shortly after the story aired on Fox10 News, another man reported two men approached him earlier in the day but he turned them away.

If it will save anybody else from going through this they better think twice before the let anybody pave their driveway because I don't think he put anything worth while on that driveway, the 85 year old said.

Stanley Paving in Burlington NJ

Belmond city officials are concerned about getting 150th Street paved this summer. Eighteen months ago the city and county agreed to share the cost of paving the gravel road from Highway 69 west to the driveway of the new Max Yield fertilizer plant.

City Manager Lee Ann Waltzing told the city council Monday night that the county engineer told her the work is not on the current county road plan -- that some jobs had been pushed back on the calender.

Whats the holdup? asked Councilman Harlan Tulp. Didnt we already agree to that?

We have a responsibility to our local industry, said City Attorney Gary Berkland. We promised Max Yield that paving job.

Several other city leaders express displeasure with the possibility that the project will be delayed again.

Waltzing said she will contact County Supervisor Stan Watne and Wright County Economic Development Director Brad Hicks about the matter. She promised to report her findings to the council at the next meeting.

In other business, the council:

--approved re-taking bids for sewer plant improvements. The bids will be opened January 15 at 2 p.m. and the council will have the chance to accept a bid on January 20;

--heard that public works employees are trying to keep certain parts of the sewer plant running the best they can, but there continue to be problems and breakdowns;

--discussed the website belmond.com which is owned and operated by the city, chamber of commerce and industrial development group. Someone is trying to buy the name belmond.com, using an attorney as a front. Local officials do not know who the person is or why they are trying to buy the name. All city leaders agreed that selling the name was a bad idea;
