What should I ask a sealcoating contractor before hiring?
Ask what sealer product and mix they use, how many coats, whether crack filling and oil spot prep are included, how they handle striping and ADA layout, insurance coverage, scheduling and phasing to keep your business open, weather policies and any warranty. Get the scope and square footage in writing.
