Why Hiring a Trusted Sealcoater Is Worth the Extra Cost

Why Hiring a Trusted Sealcoater Is Worth the Extra Cost

If you don't have a regular sealcoater, it's definitely worth your time to get a few bids, compare prices, and evaluate who you're most comfortable working with. But if you've used a sealcoater in the past and were happy with their work, why not hire them again?

Don’t Just Focus on Price—Consider the Full Picture
Too many people make the mistake of focusing solely on price when selecting a sealcoating contractor. While cost is certainly important, it’s essential to consider the variables that can affect the final price. One of the biggest factors is the quality of the materials used. Contractors often use either coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealers, both of which are water-based. Some contractors may dilute these materials to save on costs, but over-diluted sealers won’t stand up to the elements, which means they won’t last as long.

If you're receiving bids that come in lower than the cost of doing the job yourself, it’s a red flag. It should always cost more to have a professional sealcoat your driveway or parking lot than if you were to attempt the job on your own. When you choose Asphalt Sealcoating Supply Inc., you’re not just paying for materials; you’re paying for expertise, quality, and long-lasting results.

Proven Quality vs. the Cheapest Option
We’ve all been there—when we want to save a few bucks, it's tempting to go with the lowest bid. But here’s the thing: while everyone is hunting for the cheapest price, this often leads to cutting corners and poor results. Think of it this way: we tip 20% at restaurants even when the service isn't perfect because we understand the value of good service. The same principle applies to hiring a trusted sealcoater. Isn’t it worth a little extra to ensure the job is done right the first time by a professional who has consistently delivered quality work in the past?

Contractors are facing a competitive market, and it’s tough out there. They can offer outstanding customer service and top-quality materials, only to lose a loyal customer because their bid was just $10 higher than the cheapest option. But when you choose Asphalt Sealcoating Supply Inc., you’re investing in long-term value. Reward good contractors by becoming a repeat customer.

Why You Should Resist the Urge to Save a Few Dollars
As tempting as it may be to save a few dollars, it's important to resist that urge, especially when it comes to something as crucial as sealcoating. Sealcoating protects your pavement, improves curb appeal, and prolongs the life of your asphalt. Choosing the cheapest option might save you money upfront, but it could cost you more in the long run if the job isn’t done properly.

By working with a reputable sealcoating company like Asphalt Sealcoating Supply Inc., you can rest easy knowing the job will be done right, and the results will last for years to come.
