Hello Dave. I have a problem I hope you can help me with. I have a one-year-old asphalt driveway and just noticed my vehicle has been leaking transmission fluid onto it. I tried removing the spots with Dawn dish detergent, which didn't work, then tried Zep driveway and concrete cleaner, which also didn't work. In two spots, when I flushed with high-pressure garden hose, some of the aggregate came out, and now I have holes about the size of a quarter that will need to be filled. Is there any other method I could try, to remove the fluid stains, and could you possibly recommend something to fill the holes? I would like to fix this so I can get the driveway sealed. Thank you very much for any help you may be able to give me. BTW, Thanks for your youtube videos!

I got a quote today from a contractor who just randomly stopped by (who did not seem professional but gave me a low price) tell me that a blower was sufficient and could do my driveway for $1200 and in about 30 mins. I am afraid he is going do inadeqate work and wanted to get your thoughts. Thanks.

It depends where you live at to start your sealcoating business, it’s not everywhere that it aways rains, honestly, checking on the weather before you sealcoat is a NEED, if you don’t your wasting your money on material, so that’s something that wasn’t done. Another thing, You need to be prepared not only for the parking lot / driveway, but also for yourself, gloves, masks, stuff to protect yourself, as long as you don’t get it all over yourself, sealcoating isn’t the only business that’s stressful / harmful,Paving, Roofing, Etc, as long as your careful, and getting up in the morning to work? That’s with every single job, so long story short, sealcoating is a very good business to get into when your young, there’s aways competition with other companies, but if you have to either beat they’re price, or find another driveway / parking lot, that’s absolutely fine, it’s not an extremely easy business, but what job isn’t?

There is someone who will try and beat your prices but they are then usually working for free. And if you do nothing in your off season then you must be knocking down enough money in the 100 days. The fact is the number of days you can make a million dollars if you choose and if your only working 100 days out the year I hope you do go to work everyday one more thing it is a tough job but your laying around for 5 mos. A yr. So your body should recover and if you got all that time should be reading books and working out to stay fit for your next season.

I've been in the sealing business for 15 years now, and I couldn't agree with him more. You only have a few months to make money, you are a complete slave to the weather, never get a sunny day off in the Summer, and worst of all, the amount of competition that comes and goes every year makes for extremely skinny profit margins. Sealcoating equipment prices have dropped dramatically in recent decades, so now everybody and their uncle is running a part time sealcoating gig only making enough money for a few cases of beer. I highly recommend anyone who wants to start a sealcoating business to look at other options

He said it was time to spray on the sealer . March 17th ,, It's put on hot and dries in 6hrs . I never had it done on my old drive way . He said it cost 1.00 a sq. ft. =$600.00. ((quite expensive )) but seeing it's the beginning of the season the charge is 65cents a sq.ft. .. It supposto make the drive more flexible and block out the U.L.V. rays . Then after no more then two years ,put on a coat of regular sealer like u buy at Ace or Menards or get his ,which is more on the pricy commercial kind . Did u do this first sealer ?

Some people are not happy unless they are moaning and complaining .. This guy sounds like my exmother inlaw or them adults talking in the charley brown cartoon shows .. LOL But yea he is right unless you husseling doors and catch people at the rt time and make a deal he is rite . , many want to wait till fall so the weather will screw it up ..thats their way of getting out of not doing it .. I never had to paint abuilding .. i always used . 1/8ths thick panneling for trim boards or splash boards you drag it along curbs where asphalt and cement meet. And used 1 inch thick foam nap rollers as well . You can do what I did . Drove semi long haul in winter and end of april seal lots and drives .. or stay on welfare as some do and just work for cash .. lol .
