Emergency Services Offered
Services we offer
Commercial & Residential Seal Coating. Crack Sealing. Parking Lot Line Striping. Asphalt & Pothole Repairs. Driveway Paving.
My total driveways area is about 3x that of others in the neighborhood. These guys do a great job of filling the cracks, patchwork as needed, then sealing. I'm never there to watch - but the results are great. Patches are lasting great through ice and snowplows. But hoping they may offer alternate to coal tar sealers.
Description of Work: Sealcoated, crack-filled, and patched my asphalt driveways. I have a lot of driveway.

This was a very small job, but I called Seal-Kote asked them if they would care for the hole. Larry went out personally, filled the hole, called me and told me it was all done and cared for. Greatly appreciated his assistance on such a small job. This year I'm giving them the opportunitiy to seal the entire parking area, currently waiting on thier quote. Great job, thanks,
Description of Work: I had a hole in my parking lot at a business I have. I needed to have it filled.

Response from Suburban Seal coating Inc.
http://www.truthaboutcoaltar.com/ Seal-Kote Corp. Offers both Coal Tar and what some consider the Green product of the day the Asphalt emulsion sealer. I've been to several seminars concerning the subject and feel that the PAHs in coal tar are probably way over blown. There are PAH's in cooked meat and exhaust fumes amongst other things, but you don't have scientist trying to shut down the cattle industry or the automotive industry. When having work performed with the asphalt emulsion you need to have warm temperatures, little or no shaded areas and it's not recommended on high traffic areas.

Larry is great to deal with. We have an older driveway and it has a number of cracks. About 2 weeks after Seal Kote had completed the work, I noticed that some of the cracks had reopened because the material had settled. I contacted Larry and a crew member came out the very same day and reapplied a coating to the cracks, no questions asked. I really appreciated that and I will definitely contact Larry for any future driveway work. I have also recommended Seal Kote to my mom and she has used them for the last few years for snow removal services. Larry is honest and courteous.

Description of Work: Very pleased with sealer used. Still looks great after 5 months. Filled and fixed the small cracks giving the driveway a much cleaner and smoother appearance. Will definately have them come back to seal and take care of some of the larger cracks. Extremely pleased with service and nice job performed.

We had originally planned to go with a local company but that fell through and we had to find someone who could do it in a short time frame and either on a Thursday or Friday. We called Seal Kote for an estimate and even though we are on the outskirts of their area, we received an estimate the next day. They were very flexible on their scheduling and we set a date as well as a rain date. The night before our appointment we decided to reschedule to our rain date due to rain in the forecast. Seal Kote showed up right on time with about 6 workers and two trucks. The cleared the driveways with a portable blower and then proceeded to do the seal coating. They were very neat and worked until the job was done. We didn't notice any splatters on any of the garage doors and noticed that the edges along the sidewalks were all very neat. We found this company through Angie's List and they came highly recommended. We have nothing but good things to say about their work. They were on time, did their work in an appropriate time, did excellent work, and left the place clean.
Description of Work: Our condo association has 10 separate driveways that connect to an alley, and all needed to be seal coated.

They did a nice job when they were finally able to schedule me. I called them and didn't hear back, then it took about two weeks for someone to drop off an estimate and then another week to be scheduled. They had to cancel me the day they planned to come and shift me back another two days. But when they came, the team was nice and did a good job. They were quick, in and out, and the work looks good. If you can be flexible on when you want the work done, they do a good job and it was a great price.

It was a pleasant experience from beginning to end. Before they left, they told us to call if there was any problem ... but everything was fine. The driveways look great.
Description of Work: Seal-Kote Corp sealcoated my driveway and my neighbor's adjacent driveway as one job. Larry was prompt in scheduling the work ... just a couple days after we accepted his estimate. A two man crew and a truck cleaned and prepared the driveway, applied the sealer and set up the string barrier. They were pleasant and courteous, completing the job neatly and efficiently. We were pleased with the price, too.

Seal-Kote answered my questions as to why the driveway was flaking and had bare spots. They said I had been sealcoating it too often. They came and hand applied a coat of sealcoat - the driveway had just started to dry when we had an unexpected heavy rain shower with hail! I called and left a message on what had happened. They returned to our house that evening to clean up what the rain had spattered on our garage door and our brick walkway. They then called and rescheduled to apply a new coat of sealcoat - I did not even have to ask! After the second visit and a new light coat of sealcoat was applied, the driveway was sealed and looks very good. This company was very easy to work with. They let you know what day they are coming - not an exact time - but they did knock on the door to make sure any cars I needed out were out of the garage. They did a very neat job and all the edges were neat and nothing got onto adjacent cement or bricks.

I got my money's worth. I was unsure about the effectiveness of the crack sealer as some of the cracks were rather large and deep. However, the sealer proved to be very good. I am glad that I went with it. They were on time and professional. I will use them again.

I called this company for an estimate for driveway repairs. They missed a large section, and a minor. I have used this company four times in the past, and their work was satisfactory for the price. If you care about American jobs for Americans, then you would not be interested in hiring this company since they use exclusively immigrant labor. When they were out last fall, I was not able to communicate with them about problem areas. They just smiled at me. And when they switch to cheaper labor, rather than my cost decline, it went up.
Description of Work: I called this company for an estimate for driveway repairs. I have used this company annually or bi-annually since the 90's for sealing and minor repairs.

We found Seal Kote on Angie's list with very high ratings and decided to try them. I left a message which they returned the next day, she explained what they would do and that they would leave an estimate for us. Within 2 days we had an estimate, for a price that was about what others were asking. We then contracted them to do the work. Work like this of course is determined by the weather, and we had to wait about 10 days ( it was raining a lot) . They contacted us on Sunday and came out Monday. This is a new driveway and the first time we are having it seal coated. They did a very neat job getting in all the edges and very neat, not getting any on the stone wall next to the drive. I would use them again and would highly recommend them for seal coating.

The driveway was scheduled to be done the previous week but I called and said I didn't want it done as there had been so much rain and our driveway was still very wet and had several puddles. Asked to reschedule for the following week and Larry said they could be here Tuesday. Said we wouldn't be here and he said we didn't need to be. Told him we definitely wanted to be here when it was done and he agreed to Thursday. We had gone on a trip, returning Wednesday night. Imagine our chagrin when we saw the string across the driveway when we got home! A neighbor said they were there on Tuesday. Upon inspection the following day, we saw several things we were not pleased with. Called Larry and expressed my displeasure at they're doing the driveway at their convenience and not ours and said we were not happy with the job that was done. He said he would come over. He called later and said he would send a crew on Friday to redo the job, which he did. We used Seal-Kote the year before and we usually go at least 2 years before resealing. We thought that it looked as if it needed redoing, due to the hard winter. We will not use Seal-Kote again. To add insult to injury, job was redone on Friday, today is the following Wednesday and I have received 3 invoices in the mail since the completion. (The bill is being paid through our bill pay account.)

We offered and then did the sealcoating of their driveway for a 2nd time for FREE. What on earth are they complaining about. That is called going above and beyond for a customer and unfortunately they didn't appreciate our outstanding attempt to rectify the situation.

I called Seal-Kote last week, hoping they could find time in their schedule these last few warm days before winter. They called back a few days later to confirm the address and quote a price, and I asked them to schedule the job. The driveway was sealed the following day while I was at work. The asphalt is old and neglected, and I did not expect miracles - just a fresh coating to make it less of an eyesore until we can replace it. It looks better than I expected. I spent a couple of hours pulling weeds from the cracks before calling Seal-Kote. Their crew went above and beyond, pulling more weeds at the edge of the driveway before sealing to create a cleaner line than I had left for them.

General work was very good. Response time. Telephone contact all good. Biggest problem - which has not been fixed - is that he promised that cracks over 1/4" wide would be filled.This did NOT take place. There were not many cracks. Workers did one sweeping curve of application, about 4" wide that filled about half of the cracks. Did not even attempt to fill the cut in the asphalt between the drive and the street, which was created when the village redid some of the street two years ago. On the drive, it looks almost as if the worker ran with a roller, which sometimes applied enough material to fill the crack - but which also left an ugly 4" wide band of "smooth. shiny" surface which disfigured the entire drive. We were not home when work was done; hence we were unaware of the problems until we returned a few days later. I p;aid bill promptly, at the same time that I told the owner about the shoddy work on the cracks, and asked to have - at least - the unfilled cracks filled. There was no way to rectify the 4" wide ugly glossy smooth strip that now decorates the driveway. I have had no response. No work has been done to fix the problem.

We did eventually refill several cracks on Member's driveway in October, which is usally when we do our crackfill touch ups per our proposals. We are very clear on our proposals that cracks won't disappear and large and deep cracks do settle.

The job went well as described above. TTime will tell if this new process will last better than my past experience with other contractors. I plan to use them again assuming that the seal coating lasts.
Description of Work: I left a message at their office on the previous Saturday with my address & what I wanted done. They called me & left me an estimate on the following Tuesday. On Wednesday the called & said that they would be in my are on Thursday, could they do the work. I hired them & they offered an addional process applying a heated material for an additional $60.00. I have not been happy in the pasr with other contractors I have used as my driveway within a couple of months looks like it has not been done. I decided to try their additional process. I was not home when they came but was happy with the work that was done. Of course, it has only been 2 weeks since the work was completed but there service was fast, efficient & professional. Furthermore, they filled the cracks & at thed moment I am very pleased.

It was a great experience. I requested their service directly through the Angie's List website. They came by on a Saturday when we weren't home, and put the estimate in our front door. To accept, the estimate and schedule an appointment you can use their online website. Then Seal-Kote will call you with the date and time that they will arrive. You don't have to be home for their service, they accept payment left inside your front door. Seal-Kote arrived first thing in the morning on the date they were scheduled for and did a great job. Our driveway was in need of some TLC (the previous application was peeling off and the cracks were crumbling). Our driveway looks great, and we have peace-of-mind that our driveway is safe from winter elements. Thanks Seal-Kote!

I'm happy with the results. The work was neat, there were no messes, and it went like clockwork. They gave a proposal and I followed up a few months later online, telling them to contact me at one of two numbers, the second being the number to call if I was not available at the first. He followed through and called on the second phone when I couldn't answer my primary line. They scheduled the work for the 15th of September, came and did the work, and everything went as planned.

Emailed them and 2 others for estimates. Within a week I had all the estimates and Seal-Kote was the lowest by a few dollars. Given their good reviews, I gave them a call to schedule. No problems whatsoever. Job was done on time and done well. Nice clean coat with no overruns. Will use them in the future assuming the price remains reasonable.

I called for an estimate, which they then did the next day. I thought the price was fair, so agreed to have them go ahead with the work. They set up an appointment for a couple days away, and when I got home that day, the work was done. I have a flowering plant that was partially over the driveway, and I was impressed that they managed to get underneath the plant without damaging the plant. Overall, it was a good experience and I would use them again.
