FAQs

For residential driveways in Glasgow, we recommend sealcoating every 2-3 years to maintain optimal protection and appearance. Commercial parking lots, which experience heavier traffic, may require sealcoating more frequently, typically every 1-2 years. The ideal schedule for your property will depend on various factors, including weather exposure, traffic volume, and the current condition of your pavement.

Sealcoating is a preventative maintenance procedure that involves applying a thin protective layer over existing asphalt to shield it from water, UV rays, and chemicals. It's a cost-effective way to extend your pavement's lifespan. Repaving, on the other hand, is a more extensive process that involves removing and replacing damaged asphalt or laying new asphalt entirely. While sealcoating is suitable for regular maintenance, repaving becomes necessary when the asphalt has deteriorated beyond repair.

In Glasgow's typical conditions, sealcoat usually dries sufficiently for foot traffic within 4-8 hours and is ready for vehicle traffic within 24-48 hours. However, Kentucky's humidity and temperature can influence drying times. We generally advise waiting at least 24 hours before driving on newly sealed surfaces. We'll provide specific guidance based on the current weather conditions at the time of your project.

In Glasgow, the most suitable period for asphalt work is from late spring through early fall, when daytime and nighttime temperatures consistently remain above 50°F. We typically suggest scheduling between May and September to ensure proper curing and adhesion. If temperatures are favorable, Kentucky's mild autumn can extend the working season into October.

The cost of driveway paving in Glasgow varies based on several factors including size, site preparation requirements, and material choices. Generally, asphalt paving for residential driveways in the area ranges from $3 to $7 per square foot. For a typical 2-car driveway, this could translate to a cost between $2,500 and $6,000. We offer free estimates that take into account your specific property conditions, grading needs, and any additional features you might require.

Many driveways and parking lots can be effectively restored through targeted repairs rather than complete replacement. We offer services to fill cracks, patch potholes, and address localized damage in a cost-effective manner. During our complimentary inspection, we'll evaluate your pavement's overall condition and advise whether repairs and seal coating will be sufficient, or if repaving certain sections would be more economical in the long term.

We stand behind the quality of our work with warranties that vary depending on the service provided. Our asphalt paving typically includes a workmanship warranty, while our sealcoating services come with coverage against premature failure. We'll discuss the specific warranty terms during your estimate consultation and provide all details in writing before commencing any project.

For newly paved surfaces, we recommend avoiding heavy vehicles for the initial few days and being cautious with sharp turns for the first week. On sealcoated surfaces, regular sweeping and prompt removal of oil stains will help maintain cleanliness. In winter, avoid using metal shovels or sharp-edged snow removal tools. To maximize your pavement's lifespan, we suggest implementing regular maintenance practices and scheduling timely seal coating every few years.

For driveway projects, we ask that you clear the work area of all vehicles, trailers, basketball hoops, and any other items. We require unobstructed access to the entire surface as well as space for our equipment. While we'll clean the surface prior to sealcoating, removing loose debris beforehand is helpful. When we schedule your project, we'll provide you with a detailed preparation checklist to ensure everything is ready for our arrival.
