Asphalt Driveway & Pavement Seal Coating

At HH, we use only the best pavement seal-coating & repair materials available. Our asphalt seal-coat is made fresh everyday at a local plant. This is the stuff they use at airports and shopping malls! Don't settle for home center grade asphalt sealants. Who knows how long it's been sitting in those containers! Also, don't fall for the gimmicks. Which one should I buy? The 2 year, the 5 year, the 7 year or the 10 year. Our commercial grade sealant has them all beat. And to be perfectly honest, there's no such thing as a ?? Year sealant. There's either more chemicals or less chemicals, more sand or less sand. Driveways should be sealed and repaired about every three years or so, and it depends on the condition of the pavement. Seal-coating too often is just as bad as not sealing often enough. Preventive maintenance saves money over the life of your pavement. That's true with just about anything. Only a qualified technician should make the determination of the best course of action to be taken (IE: fill cracks, potholes, re-seal, re-pave, etc) and when.

Hate cleaning gutters?

Clogged gutters may cause water to flow over the entire length of your gutter causing potential water intrusion through the foundation of your home, among other issues. Another potential problem is that gutters may become detached from your home due to the extra weight of water.

Put an end to this nasty and dangerous chore today. We can clean your gutters for the last time. Then we will install The Shur Flo Gutter Protection System. You'll never have to worry about clogged gutters again.

Proper down spouting is just as important as unencumbered gutters. We can help you determine which solution is right for you.
