Can you imagine the feeling of being out for the day and coming home to your driveway perfectly resealed by these guys. I’d get a beer and a chair and stare at it till the sun went down.
Hopefully the HOA, if they have one, lets them park in the street. Seeing as they can't drive on the driveway for a few days. But, yeah, it is beautiful. I just hope it sticks well to those greasy/wet? spots.
This is one of the best videos you've made. I love watching all your videos. It's like watching an artist paint a picture. I find it very relaxing especially with the sounds of the puddles and the brush and the truck (and no music.) Up close is best as you can see what's going on so much better. 😊 Well done! 👏
Yup, and doing it right by brushing it in multiple directions to really work it into the asphalt. That will leave a much better coating/result than the crews you see just dragging it straight down the driveway in a single flood coat.
I'd like to know how someone can say that is easy money. Lot of techniques, spending a lot of time, effort, everything to make a perfect job day by day. You rock bro, you have the gift to do that! ❣👍
True, there is some attention to detail and some skill involved, but it isn't exactly back breaking labor. So on the blue collar side of things, this is a fairly easy job, labor wise. The main down side of course is that it is weather dependent and fairly seasonal, so the income isn't exactly steady. So, you have to pace you expenditures accordingly to spread them out over the year, business wise, as well as personally. Maybe even take a side job in the off season.
Hi watching from Australia 🇦🇺. I really enjoy your videos and love watching the seal coating for some reason. I bet it stinks to high heaven though hehe 😜. Thanks for sharing your work 👍🏼
My driveway is gravel, but these videos make me want an asphalt driveway, real bad. Wishing it was in my budget, but right now I am still looking for that post pandemic work position, so I don't really have a budget to squeeze it into as I have no income. We're getting by on the wife's less than $800 US per month SSI.
I wanted him to move the hose because that area was so cramped for a few minutes. I know he was edging but I still wanted that hose out of the way. I get followed by 3 big dogs throughout my day, so maybe it's that feeling of not being able to organize and clean with 3 dogs jockeying for attention and treats and wanting to chase squirrels outside. Can I just get some housekeeping done, please? 🐈⬛🐕🦮 Beautiful job!! I can't wait to have my very own driveway that I can have sealed. It just better be this good.
He got those narrow parts by the garage with that big brush, but I think I'd have to keep a 3-4 inch brush handy for those smaller areas myself. I am starting to get a bit of a tremmor in my hands, and would rather cut in around "do not cover/touch" areas with a more controllable brush myself than risk "coloring outside the lines". But he's still young with a steady hand, so if this giant brush works for him, as it obviously does, more power to him. I only saw one place were the grass got painted pretty good.
I stumbled upon your videos recently by accident, and it's crazy how many times I've already re-watched them - what's the deal with that? I really appreciate the longer videos, keep up the good work!
It’s a cold, crappy day in Western Pennsylvania and I am in front of the wood burner watching this video. Thanks for warming my day. I have a torn muscle in my thigh and can’t do much as it heals. And….I won’t watch the NFL because of various factors. Even if it were an option, I would watch this. Also, please get a backpack blower - you won’t regret it. Buy a Stihl with the electric start. It’s the only one to get. I look forward to seeing you use it. 😏😀
Wow. That's weird. I grew up in Pennsylvania and when I saw your comment I thought, "huh, that comment must be from a while ago." No. Yesterday. Haha. Thanks for reminding me that it is currently cold back home in PA.
Yes it would. I use one here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6xpH0hRJT9E.html I just wanted to show what was possible with a 4 foot brush in this video.
Watching you work I feel like that guy at every road-work site who is leaning on a shovel and watching. I have a couple questions if you could; at the end of the day do you have to purge the hose and wand of sealer? Or soak and clean your broom/squeegee?
Everything goes into a brush box. We only clean out at the end of the year. All seal tools remain submerged until it’s time to use them. We use 4 foot brushes.
Any reason why you guys push the sealer instead of pulling it? Or is it just what works for you guys? We find pulling the sealcoat to take half the time, which also means we never have to walk in it. Love the content!
Hey I got a curious question for you in your videos the liquid that you put down is brown is that the color is going to stay or when it dries it becomes black is that rotard that you're putting down or what is it
Hi Sofia. I never listen to music when I seal. I need to listen to the compressor, make sure everything working properly and not leaking all over the road. I’m always singing song in my head though 🎤
@@SEALCOATINGISLIFE last question.. I am in New England, looking for a solid sealer that will hold up as best as possible through all seasons. There are many out there, any in particular you would recommend?
Nice I do the exact same work out in north chicago suburds so happy it's the winter. It's a seasonal job here! Does anyone know what town this young man is sealing in?
Great video, would love to know how you price a driveway like this and if you require minimums for smaller jobs like this. I have recently jumped into seal coating and can't really find anything about it.
It's all priced by square footage. We have minimums unless they are getting a group rate. Sometime we'll do 10 smaller ones that are in walking distance too each other for a reduced rate. It's all about what you are comfortable with.
Great work!! I have been in the business for years, we do mostly commercial lots. Few questions. Where are you located? What material do you use, is it seal master? And last one why brush vs squeegee?
With drying possibly. You definitely need 48 hours of sun and ZERO % rain. At that time of the year (mid October) the high temperature was 75. We’re constantly checking the weather forecast.
Every DIY seal coat video says you should pressure wash the driveway to get every bit of dirt off or else the new coal won't stick. You never do this! Why???
How do you find these jobs?? Do you door knock, post ads, or??? I’d appreciate the advice. Also, what’s the initial investment for something like this? Thanks in advance, and awesome job!
The foot prints never fully disappeared tho as soon as it drys you’ll see them slightly idk why people walk through the sealer just makes a mess like toddlers play
