FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

01How can I make an appointment for a quote?

First of all, our quotes are free. You can make an appointment with us online or by phone. We will be happy to serve you promptly.

02What is the difference between bitumen and water-based products on the market?

The sealant we use is a bitumen-based product. Since it is a petroleum derivative, bitumen sealant penetrates your asphalt, protecting your driveway from deterioration and crack formation. It is applied with a spray gun, not a roller, which ensures a flawless finish without marks. In contrast, other acrylic-based sealants only cover the asphalt without penetrating it. This creates a crust on your pavement, preventing the asphalt from breathing and causing micro-cracks to appear. Using these coatings thus reduces the lifespan of the asphalt.

03Why choose us over another company?

Then, we collaborate with a Sherbrooke-based paving company that ensures to come and asphalt the driveway.

05My driveway has just been asphalted. How long should I wait before treating it?

Our company suggests having your driveway treated within 8 to 11 months after paving. It is crucial to apply a bitumen-based coating such as what we offer. This penetrates the asphalt and prevents the creation of cracks.

06How do you fill cracks in asphalt?

It is crucial that the cracks are cleaned and prepared. We seal them with a mixture of heated bitumen and rubber, ensuring the product fills the entire crack. This way, the rift is completely sealed.

07I have a business. How long can vehicles circulate after crack repair?

Cars will be able to circulate quickly in your parking lot once the work is completed. Our teams work in certain areas and move around to avoid closing the entire parking lot.

08Do I need to do anything before the work begins?

It is necessary to move objects obstructing the operation such as a basketball hoop, a garbage bin, bicycles, etc. If there are accumulations of dirt or sand, it is preferable to wash them with water a few days before the work.

09My asphalt is very dirty after the winter, do you have a solution?

Certainly, we are equipped with several tools to ensure effective cleaning. We remove grass growing in the cracks, blow off the driveway, edge trim if grass protrudes onto the asphalt, and remove rocks with a mechanical broom. We also offer a cleaning service with a pressure washer.

10How long does the job take?

It all depends on the cleaning required, the items to protect, and the size of your driveway. In general, a job takes a maximum of a few hours. Weather conditions must be in our favor. No work can be done on a wet surface.

11What is the waiting time before parking vehicles following the work?

We suggest waiting a minimum of 48 hours before using your driveway again. However, you can walk on it after 24 hours. In a case of extreme heat, this period should be longer if you have many sealed cracks.

12How many years is the treatment effective?

We recommend a treatment every 2 years. However, a well-treated driveway with bitumen-based product can last up to 3 years. Cracks sealing can last up to 5 years when the work is done effectively.

In case you have already treated your asphalt with an acrylic or water-based product, we recommend doing the treatment for two consecutive years to change the product.

13Do you ensure the protection of asphalt edges, grass, foundations, etc.?

Absolutely, we are equipped to protect your installations along the driveway. Whether it's paving stone, a concrete sidewalk, or a garage door, everything will be fully covered to prevent splashes or product overflow.

14Where should I put my vehicles on the day you’ll be working?

It would be important to park your vehicles on the street to make room for our teams.Therefore, it is recommended to park the cars on the opposite side of your driveway. Once the job is finished, you can park directly in front of the driveway.

15Do you offer other services besides asphalt sealing?

In addition to asphalt treatments, we offer a service to repair cracks, driveway cleaning, weeding, and oil stain conditioning. We also provide a mechanical sweeping service for spring cleaning.

16I have oil and/or grease stains on my asphalt driveway. Can you fix them?

Absolutely, we have a solution to correct oil stains or any other type of greasy surface on the driveway. Before sealing, we apply a primer. This removes greasy spots to prevent deterioration of the asphalt driveway over the years.
