Sealcoating Your Driveway: Don't Be Scammed
The scenario A contractor knocks on your door unannounced and offers to sealcoat your asphalt driveway on the spot. He tells you about the great deal you’ll get but fails to mention that he’ll be using watered-down sealant or used motor oil. How to spot the scam Sealcoat is an emulsion of coal tar or asphalt, water, and a fine aggregate like silica sand. If the contractor at your door doesn’t have a tank that’s actively mixing the sealcoating material, send him on his way. Other tip-offs to a problem beyond the cold call include the fact that his truck has an out-of-state license plate and his claims that the job can be done only “today.”
