Services
Sealcoating
Our sealcoating process utilizes premium GemSeal products with added silica sand for enhanced durability. We apply all sealers by brush to ensure deep penetration into asphalt surfaces. This method creates superior bonding compared to spray applications, resulting in longer-lasting protection against weather damage and traffic wear specifically formulated for high-traffic areas.
Pothole Repair
We address pothole damage using temperature-appropriate asphalt mixes combined with thorough surface preparation. Our repair process removes compromised material before applying hot or cold commercial-grade patching compounds. This restores structural integrity while eliminating safety hazards caused by Chicagoland's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy vehicle traffic that accelerates pavement deterioration.
Deck Maintenance
Our deck care system combines thorough cleaning with targeted staining applications. We use biodegradable cleaning solutions to remove contaminants before applying protective stains. Brush or roller application ensures even coverage that preserves wood structure while maintaining aesthetic appeal through clear, transparent, or solid color options for residential properties.
Line Striping
We provide code-compliant line striping services that meet state and municipal accessibility requirements. Our process includes precise layout measurement, stenciling, and installation of handicap signage. We also offer concrete wheel stop installations that enhance parking lot organization and vehicle safety in commercial environments.
Surface Cleaning
Our comprehensive cleaning process combines high-pressure blowing with power sweeping to remove embedded debris. This two-step approach ensures optimal surface preparation for sealcoating adhesion. We specialize in removing oil-based contaminants and preparing older asphalt surfaces through mechanical cleaning that extends the effectiveness of protective treatments.
