Company Information
All Pro Sealcoating is a small, Christian based business with low overhead. Due to this low overhead, they are able to provide professional services at a deep discount. Larger companies cannot do that because they have payroll to meet and the huge expense of several large vehicles to maintain.
With over 20 years of experience All Pro Sealcoating will earn your trust and repeat business through the high quality of their professional work. They intend to keep your business based on that foundation paired with integrity, reliability and consistency that exceeds your expectations.
Why Choose All Pro Sealcoating? They only use commercial grade sealer direct from the plant, mixed to factory specs! They DO NOT water the sealer down. You must be cautious of the larger companies and fly-by-night companies watering the sealer down to save money. Their company takes pride in the quality of work provided to customers. Your project will be completed on time and with professional workmanship.
All Pro Sealcoating offers Senior Discounts and discounts are available to owners of multiple properties when 2 or more properties are sealed.
5 Uncommon Questions To Ask When Hiring A Sealcoat Company
Here are 5 questions you should ask the sealcoating company you are considering that most people do not think to ask. They are beyond the usual “do you have references?” questions that most think about. The answers can give you a lot of insight into the company you are dealing with, not just factually, but also their preparedness in answering them. If they seem to stumble and are thrown off by the question, you need to consider heavily if this is really who you want working on your driveway. If they are knowledgeable, professional and confident they might be well worth it in the long run. 1. Is a hired man or the owner going to be on the job?
The owner cannot always be there, but he/she should have a reason as to why. If it is vital for you to have them there, work something out to ensure that this can happen. It IS possible. Because of the nature of this business, sealcoating companies are not multi billion dollar corporate giants where the CEO sits in an office all day. They are often driving the trucks, sweeping and simply getting into the details of as many projects as they can.
2. Will the sealcoat be applied by spray or by hand?
If it is a residential sealcoating job, the best quality jobs are done by hand. This is to ensure the sealer goes on very thick, the edges are done properly and the rest of your landscaping is not affected. Sprays, well spray. The sealer is thinner because it has to be thin enough to fit through a small nozzle on the sprayer. This is good for covering huge areas like parking lots. If the contractor plans to spray your driveway, ask to see how thick the sealer is and ask them how they will prevent it from spreading to the lawn.
If a spray is being used, ask how many coats will be applied. This matters to ensure an even coat as sealer has to be watered down to get through the spray nozzle. If the price is not for 2 coats of sprayed-on sealer be very weary of using them.
3. What is the warranty?
I didn’t say “IS there a warranty?” There should be one. This type of work can easily come with some sort of guarantee. A professional sealcoater knows that if they do their job correctly and thoroughly, the chances of something failing are slim. It is a calculated risk that he can take and stay profitable.
4. How long have you been in business?
This one would seem to be obvious to ask, but it isn’t. Granted, every new business needs a shot at proving themselves, but this is something you will need to live with for 5-6 years. Do you really want someone inexperienced on this? They should be able to tell you how long and quickly list some local jobs they have done. If not, this may not be the company for you. If they have been around for a while, there should be plenty of info about them online as well.
5. Why are you so much cheaper than everyone else?
What sounds like a great deal at the time may cost you more in the long run. Why would a sealcoat company charge so much less than everyone else? That is such an important question to ask. They are either watering-down the sealer so much that it will wash off with the first rain or they are stealing the sealer. It is great to find a good deal but common sense needs to prevail. Always remember the old saying: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably it!
