Top Asphalt Services in Back in Blacktop

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at backinblacktop@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.


What services does BackInBlacktop offer?

We specialize in residential and commercial asphalt driveway sealing, including crack repair, weed removal, and surface treatment. We also handle all cleaning and prep work to ensure a long-lasting, professional result.


What materials do you use?

We use Latex-ite sealer with a special performance additive that enhances durability and adhesion. It’s designed to protect your driveway longer against wear, water damage, and weathering.


What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve Central New Jersey and Bucks County, Pennsylvania.


How do I get a quote?

You can request a quote by texting us photos of your driveway or by using the quote request form on our website. If we don’t receive photos within a day, we’ll send a default quote assuming cracks and rough surface, which applies to about 90% of driveways. The price can be adjusted later after review.


How quickly can I get service?

In most cases, we can schedule your job within 2–3 days of your quote request, depending on weather conditions and availability.


Do you work on weekends?

Yes. We work on Saturdays, and if there’s heavy rain during the week, we may come out on Sundays to stay on track.


How is the price calculated?

Our pricing is based on:

  • Total square footage
     
  • Condition of the surface (cracks, weeds, roughness)
     
  • Travel distance
     
  • Flat rate of $200 for driveways under 500 sq ft, which includes cracks and rough surface
     

Additional fees may apply for deep cleaning, excessive weeds, or other special circumstances.


How long does the job take?

Most driveways are completed in 1 to 2 hours. The driveway then needs time to cure before use.


How do I prepare my driveway before service?

Please:

  • Remove all vehicles, decorations, and toys
     
  • Turn off sprinklers for the day
     
  • Make sure the driveway is clear and accessible
     

We’ll handle edging, cleaning, and prep on our end.


How long should I wait before using the driveway?

Please wait at least 36 hours before driving or parking on the surface. You can walk on it after about 24 hours, but vehicles should stay off until it's fully cured.


What if it rains?

We require at least two dry days after sealing to ensure proper adhesion. If rain is in the forecast, we’ll reach out to reschedule at no extra cost.


How long is my quote valid?

Quotes are valid for the sealing season—until colder temperatures prevent proper application. Once the season ends, we may need to reassess next year.


Do you accept cash?

No. For accountability and convenience, we do not accept cash. Invoices are sent digitally, and we accept all major online payment methods.


What happens if no one is home during the service?

That’s not a problem. As long as the driveway is clear and accessible, we’ll complete the job and send before-and-after photos. Once the work is verified, we’ll mark it “OK to Pay.”


How often should I seal my driveway?

We recommend sealing your driveway every 2 to 3 years, depending on traffic and weather exposure.


Can you seal a brand-new driveway?

Yes, but it’s best to wait at least 6 months after new asphalt is installed. This allows the oils to evaporate and ensures better sealer adhesion.


Will sealing fix existing cracks or potholes?

We do fill surface-level cracks as part of the sealing process. However, deep cracks or potholes may require additional repair or replacement work. Sealing is for protection, not structural repair.


Will the sealer stain my sidewalk or garage?

We apply sealer carefully, using hand edging where needed. If you’re concerned about adjacent surfaces, let us know — we’ll take extra precautions to avoid overspray or tracking.
