  • How long does it take for concrete to fully cure?

    Concrete typically takes about 28 days to fully cure. However, you can usually walk on it within 24-48 hours and drive on it within a week, depending on the weather conditions and the specific mix used.

  • How do you ensure the longevity of your concrete work?

    We use high-quality materials and proper installation techniques, including adequate reinforcement and proper curing methods. We also recommend regular maintenance, such as sealing, to protect the concrete from wear and tear.

  • Do you offer concrete repair services?

Seal Coating and Crack Sealing

  • What is seal coating, and why is it important?

    Seal coating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces to shield them from damage caused by UV rays, water, oil, and chemicals. It extends the life of your asphalt by preventing cracks and potholes, keeping your driveway or parking lot looking new.

  • How often should I have my asphalt seal coated?

    It is recommended to seal coat your asphalt every 2-3 years, depending on the traffic and weather conditions. Regular seal coating helps maintain the integrity and appearance of your asphalt surfaces.

  • What is crack sealing, and how does it work?

    Crack sealing involves filling in cracks in asphalt with a hot or cold rubberized material that adheres to the asphalt, preventing water from seeping in and causing further damage. This process helps prevent larger issues like potholes and extends the life of your asphalt.

  • Can crack sealing be done in any weather?

    Crack sealing is best done in dry weather when temperatures are above 50°F. Wet or cold conditions can affect the adhesion and effectiveness of the sealing material.

Driveway and Walkway Paving

  • What materials do you use for driveway and walkway paving?

    We use high-quality asphalt, concrete, and pavers for driveway and walkway paving. The choice of material depends on your specific needs, preferences, and budget.

  • How long does it take to install a new driveway or walkway?

    The time required to install a new driveway or walkway varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, a standard driveway can be installed within 1-3 days, while larger or more intricate projects may take longer.

  • Can you replace or resurface an existing driveway or walkway?

    Yes, we offer both replacement and resurfacing services. Resurfacing involves applying a new layer of asphalt or concrete over the existing surface, while replacement involves removing the old surface and installing a new one.

  • How do you ensure proper drainage for paved driveways and walkways?

    We design and install driveways and walkways with a slight slope to ensure proper drainage, preventing water accumulation that can lead to damage. We also install drainage solutions like channels or French drains if necessary.

Line and Asphalt Striping

  • What is asphalt striping, and why is it important?

    Asphalt striping refers to the process of painting lines, symbols, and markings on asphalt surfaces such as parking lots, roadways, and driveways. It is crucial for ensuring traffic flow, safety, and compliance with regulations, particularly in commercial settings.

  • How often should asphalt striping be reapplied?

    Asphalt striping should be reapplied every 1-2 years, depending on the level of traffic and the wear on the paint. Faded or worn-out lines can compromise safety and lead to non-compliance with regulations.

  • Do you offer custom striping for parking lots and roadways?

    Yes, we offer custom striping services, including the layout and design of parking spaces, handicap spaces, fire lanes, directional arrows, and other markings tailored to your specific needs.

  • How soon can the striped area be used after the striping is applied?

    The striping paint typically dries within 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the weather conditions. Once dry, the area can be opened for use, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
