Before Your Job is Started
Is there anything I need to do before seal coating maintenance is performed on my asphalt?
Yes! Sprinklers should be turned off 24 hours prior to work and 24 hours after completion of work.. Obstacles (vehicles, dumpsters, etc.) must be removed prior to asphalt maintenance work is done.
Residential and Commercial Areas: Notice should be posted to residents and/or office building workers in due time. Cars that are not removed from the premises will need to be towed – additional costs may be incurred.
