Seal Coat Resurfacing & Striping

We offer very competitive prices for seal coating and it is our specialty. Seal coating is a required maintenance for asphalt and is inevitable after years of wear and tear. Seal coating is an important defense against heavy traffic and rough weather. In a way, seal coating is to asphalt, what paint is to your home. 

The first step of the seal coating process begins with a heavy duty cleaning of the asphalt area (usually parking lots, driveways, private streets etc.) using wired brooms and high powered blowers to remove all debris and dirt from the area to be sealed. This assures that there will be a better bond for the seal coat.

It is very important to complete this procedure when you can be sure that the surface will not come into contact for water for at least 48 hours. So the weather can play an important role in deciding when this type of work should be completed.  The weather should be 70 degrees and rising. 

Some additional options are noted below:

Crack filling
In the event that there are cracks in the asphalt, the cracks will need to be filled prior to applying the seal coating. For this process, we use an acrylic base crack filler which will allow the asphalt to move with the cracks as they open and close. 

Two coat application
Two coats is the standard but there is also the option to apply one coat for customers who want to cut down on cost. The number of applications will be worked out before any actual work begins and will be a factor in determining the total overall price. Two coats will add more durability and makes for a longer lasting surface.

 Striping
Any existing striping will usually be repainted as they were originally, but can be changed at the customer s request.

High quality paint is always used to assure long lasting durability and visibility..

We also do handicap ramps, parking lot signs and bollards (see BOLLARDS).

Pricing: The price of this procedure is determined based upon the current condition of the asphalt, the size of the area to be sealed, & if any extra options were requested.

There are a number of factors which help us to rate the condition of the asphalt.
Some of which are:

• How rough or course the surface is

• The number & width of cracks in the surface

• The amount of preparation and cleaning time required prior to applying the seal coat

Asphalt Repair

Failed asphalt is removed and replaced and base rock needs to be re-compacted, possibly due to small spider web like cracks, holes, root damage from large trees, heavy equipment operation over asphalt... etc.  All areas that need to be removed are saw cut, or ground out and removed to depths usually requested by owner (maybe 3 to 4 inches deep), or by our recommendation and then replaced.  The primary reason for asphalt failure is due to weak base rock.

Pricing: The price is determined by the condition of the asphalt and the amount of surface requiring repair.

Tennis & Sports Court Resurfacing

Courts are resurfaced using acrylic products that are designed specifically for sport courts. Each court will need to be evaluated on an individual basis to determine the amount of resources and manpower that will be needed to restore the court to its original condition.

Pricing:  As mentioned above, each court will need to be individually inspected in order to determine the amount of resources that will be needed for the court's restoration.

Things you should keep in mind if you are considering restoring a court:

• Cracks and overall wear and tear can vary greatly depending on the conditions in which the court has been kept up. Even with the highest quality materials, time and poor weather can do plenty of damage if preventive care is not taken to prevent court deterioration.

• Tennis court work must be done in 70 (or above) weather conditions.  Rain and cold weather will prevent it from curing properly.

• The customer has the option to choose between light green, dark green, red, blue, and beige for the colors to be used when restoring their court. Keep in mind that the colors used do not necessarily need to be replaced using the traditional colors for that particular court.

Speed Bumps

Speed bumps, to some people, are just another annoying obstacle that stands between them and their destination. This obstacle however, serves a very important purpose...

The main function of a speed bump is simple...

They are an effective way of regulating the speed of  local traffic. When confronted with a speed bump, a driver will need to slow down or risk injuring themselves or damaging their vehicle. By forcing traffic to slow down in an area, you provide a safer environment for pedestrians as well as reduce the chances  of collisions with other vehicles.

Speed bumps are usually used on private roads, parking lots, and in some cases, you will find them being used to regulate the traffic in residential areas where speeding motorists are putting too many people at risk.  They can be placed just about anywhere and can be made in different heights, widths, and lengths. 

The most common material used for speed bump creation is asphalt. The height, width, and length of any speed bump installed will need to be determined by customer.. 

Pricing: Speed bumps will be priced according to the actual height, width, and length of each speed bump and the amount of materials/manpower that will be needed to create them.

--We installed most of the speed bumps in the Yahoo! parking lot in San Jose, CA.

Bollards

Bollards are available in 4", 6", and 8" diameters.  The height can be set at the owners discretion.  Standard height of a bollard is between 3 and 4 feet.  They are used primarily for protecting areas that people do not want vehicles to be able to enter. Bollards are used as a means of protection for important yet vulnerable objects like main water or gas lines. They can also be seen in areas such as pedestrian only walkways and near building entrances.  

Pricing: Pricing is determined by the requested size and and the quantity of bollards needed.

--We installed quite a few bollards for NASA.  In this particular case, they are used to keep vehicles away from high security buildings.
