Professionals always make sealing jobs look rich and flawless while DIY attempts don’t always turn out the same. The difference isn’t just experience, but also technique, preparation, and precision. Here’s how the professionals get it done right:
- Preparation is Everything: A smooth finish starts long before the sealer touches the driveway. Preparation is everything in the sealing process because you need to ensure that your driveway is clean so that the sealant sticks to the driveway.
- Using Professional Tools: Some homeowners end up using cheap squeegees or rollers, while the professionals use high-quality applicators that ensure there is consistent spreading. Professionals also use effective spray systems and brushes for edge work.
- Applying Thin and Even Coats: Many people believe the common misconception that more is better. Professionals apply two thin coats letting each dry completely before adding the next ensuring that it dries faster and more evenly.
