Used Seal-Kote for the first time after seeing positive reviews. They did good work. My only recommedations for them are to provide how long the customer should wait after the sealcoating before they can use the driveway. I was not aware of what time they came to my home to perform the service (I was at work). I did not pull my car into my garage until late that evening because I didn't want to risk ruining the sealcoating. I suggest leaving instructions or a note taped to the front-door along with an invoice. An invoice was not provided, so I asked them (via Angie's list) whether they would send me one or if I just send them a check to their address. They responded to just mail them a check, which I did for the amount quoted less the 5% Angie's list discount. Overall, they did good work and I am happy with how it turned out. My driveway is a little worn (lots of spiderweb cracks), but it will get us through the winter. We just moved into the house this year, so I may consider replacing the driveway next year. Thanks Seal-Kote!

My driveway was in poor shape. They did an extra patch job at a reasonable extra fee before sealing. The job turned out great!

In general, the work Seal Kote performed in 2011 was okay. The product they used lasted well enough. I would recommend them if you don't want anything more than seal coating and you keep your expectations in check. My advice to Seal Kote is 1) don't advertise/offer a product or service which you aren't willing to provide; 2) don't repeatedly solicit business from customers whose needs you aren't willing to meet, 3) don't exhibit photos, services or claims on your website that don't accurately represent your work or apply equally to both your commercial or residential customers.

Response from Suburban Seal coating Inc.
In 2013 asked me to fill the gaps between steel edging and the asphalt in which I respectfully declined the work as I felt it would be very time consuming for the crew to do and since the job would likely turn out poorly and he wouldn't be satisfied. In 2014 he had the same request in which I told him the same thing, except this time he had trouble taking no for an answer. Here is my last response to him. "It’s called a stock picture my former web host put on my website. I know some companies who own that $50,000 machine, but I’m guessing they’ll have a $4-500 minimum charge to bring it to a job. But much more relevant is the line on my proposals where it states. “. Gaps between asphalt and other surfaces such as concrete or brick are not included in proposal” I think you should respect the fact that I’m being upfront with you that this is a job I don’t feel we can perform well and that you would likely be dissatisfied with the results, especially if we charged you what we would need to charge to make the job profitable." We do advertise that we fill cracks in asphalt. We actually go out of our way to advertise on our proposals that "Gaps between asphalt and other surfaces such as concrete or brick are not included in proposal” Nowhere on our website do we advertise what he is requesting. There is a picture of a crew doing a municipal job that can potentially fill a gap between asphalt and concrete. The machine used in that job is a $50,000 machine that would cost $500 to rent for a day. Obviously not worth doing for the $100 Mr. Thummel offered me to fill gaps between the asphalt and steel edging in his driveway. So not only did Mr. Thummel not respect the fact that I was upfront and honest with him that his request was not something we can perform well, but made me a lowball offer to perform the work that I already told him I would lose money at. I did happily honor his request to take him off my mailing list.

I've utilized this company for several years. I was late in scheduling the work this year, but left a meesage on 9/29, and within the same day Larry called back and said he could be out to my house the very next day! They arrived, and promptly did the work. It looks great. I've always had terrific service and support with this company.

Thank you for the kind words. We were just lucky with the timing. We don't get out to St. Charles often, but she called the day before we had other work scheduled in St. Charles. If she called a day later she'd still be waiting. Either way I am very glad things worked out.

Seal Kote did a great job with everything. They coated the driveway along with adding some asphalt type mix to some pitted areas around the garage door entry. The price was reasonable and would recommend to others.

Yes, [member name removed] is correct. She originally sent me a message without an address and I responded with a ball park price, but needed an address to give a firm price. I must have missed that message. Too bad as we were pretty caught up on work in August and that's an area we work in.

To any Angies List member. We absolutely cannot make cracks in your driveway disappear, and the crackfill material we use will settle and will not be filled completely flush to the surface. All we can do is make a reasonable effort to fill the major cracks. For most people that's satisfactory and was i guess enough to receive many A ratings from Angies List and earn several Angie's List Super Service Awards. For Celeste our efforts earned us a lot of grief, threats to not pay the bill and a D rating on Angies list. She sent me pictures and I feel the crew made beyond a reasonable effort to fill the major cracks, but Celeste was expecting the impossible. BTW she forgot to mention our price was $50 less than another bid she got who said they cant do anything with the cracks.

Response from Suburban Seal coating Inc.
There are many reasons [removed member name] may not have received a return call. Most likely we just had a large number of calls and hers slipped through the cracks. Possibly she didn't speak clearly and we wrote down the wrong number. Maybe we did call and left her a message and she didn't get that message. Assuming we simply didn't return her call she wasn't the first and likely won't be the last. It's not uncommon for us to get 150-200 calls in a week and although we try to return every call as said earlier sometimes some slip through. Either way it would have been very easy for her to call again if she really wanted an estimate, and perhaps wrote down the cell phone at the end of the greeting and call that number. Fortunately for [removed member name] she called another company who did a great job. Now the question I would have is Why can't [removed member name] just be happy with the great job she received from the company she used. Why would she be so vindictive to come on Angie's List and give an F rating to a company who did nothing more than not return a call. I think an F rating should go to a company that did a poor job, got paid for the work and didn't stand behind it for instance.

I have a large long asphalt driveway. Cracks were filled, but after the sealcoat dried the cracks re-opened. When I called, they returned and fixed the problem. Am very satisfied with the results and plan to use them again. Very professional, and good quality workmanship.

I spoke with Larry and he set me up with a Saturday afternoon appt to seal coat my driveway. The 3 man crew arrived within the appointed timeframe. They made sure the driveway was clean, then proceeded to coat my driveway. The crew was very respectful and communicated well. They were careful when applying the coat, making sure it did not get on my lawn. Before leaving, they staked the driveway entrance and made sure the coating was properly applied. I'd hire these guys back in a second!

Larry responded quickly to my request for an estimate. I had questions and he returned my call the same morning. He was able to quickly schedule the work. I had to change the date 4 days before the scheduled date and he was very agreeable and was able to complete the work only two days later. It's been a month and several downpours and the driveway still looks beautiful.

I arranged a group of houses in our neighborhood to get their driveways seal coated. Being that we had 13 different houses there were lots of questions. Some were weird, some were normal, and some did not make sense to me at all. Larry walked me through everything and I in turn explained everything back to our neighbors. Some had more questions and Larry answered them quickly and professionally. The workers showed up as expected and got to work quickly. They were all friendly and respectful of everything going on in the neighborhood. The work turned out great and there was not one complaint from anyone.

Our driveway and apron is appoximately 100 feet long by 12 - 14 feet wide. It needed to be seal coated and some cracks filled up to about 1/2 inch diameter. Previous company did not do a very good job of filling cracks. Seached Angies list, found SEAL - KOTE highly rated and decided to call them. Spoke with Larry, got a quote and scheduled work. When they were finished driveway looked great! Several people have commented on how nice and dark the finish of driveway is today, months after work was done. I will continue to use them.

In general did a good job, but I paid extra to fill cracks. When the job was done I thought they missed some of the cracks. It was an early winter and they didn't get back to me, I think it snowed. So I paid the bulk of the bill but held back the extra charge. They said someone would be out to address the issue but no one ever came. The kept sending bills and I talked to accounting person why I held back. They just kept sending late notices. I finally filled the last cracks myself and paid the bill just to get them to stop.

I'm sorry if we did not meet [member name removed] expectations. However, after he called about some cracks not being filled, we absolutely did send out someone to refill some cracks before the winter. When our accounts receivable person informed me that he was holding money for that reason, I told her we did come back to fill more cracks and that he should pay the entire bill. I will take [member name removed] word for it that either the crew when returning either still missed some cracks or perhaps they simply lied to me and said the did the work. Either way I called again this spring after he sent final payment with a note and offered to send someone for a 3rd time and he declined our offer.

This is one of 2 recent B ratings we received in which both rated our responsiveness as a C. Could have been worse but we strive for A's as often as possible. From about Mid August- mid October we were getting over 150 calls/ week and quite frankly fell behind on calls, so I can certainly understand a customer's frustration in our lack of responsiveness. We did leave a Voice mail greeting stating you busy we were and that it was likely it would take over 24 hours to return phone calls. We will strive to do a little better next season by having more office help and perhaps an additional crew. I very much appreciate the above average grade as considering the lack of responsiveness I'm not quite sure we even deserved that.

The whole transaction was smooth - I asked for a quote, they provided one within a day. The quote provided was for sealcoating but did not include the repair quote I had requested, so I called and they gave me one right away over the phone. We went with another provider as the price was higher than the other quote for the same repair, but would call Seal Kote next time for a quote. Nice people and prompt service.
