Two of the most common questions we get from new sealcoaters are

"Do I need a business license to operate an asphalt maintenance company?

and

"Do I need an occupational license, too?"

Every day has been a challenge for your company, but you were able to reach the financial goals you've set thanks to your employees. So now you want to show them how thankful you are that they are on your team.

The past year was a rollercoaster ride for seal coaters everywhere. Your phone rang nonstop during spring and summer, thanks to hundreds of property owners who wanted to have their driveways and parking lots maintained. But you also encountered and overcame a lot of challenges this year and they were no joke.

Sealcoating and crack repair services are highly profitable. But the bad news is most asphalt maintenance jobs can only be done during the spring and summer months. Once the air turns frigid and the snow begins to fall, it's time to put your sealcoating and crack repair equipment in storage and hibernate until spring arrives.

Snow has started to fall in many parts of the country. But when the initial excitement of making snow angels and snowmen wears off, property owners will start to worry about how to remove snow from their parking lots and driveways without damaging the sealcoating underneath.

Have you been struggling to acquire leads and get more customers for your asphalt maintenance business lately? You've sent out hundreds of proposals and used Facebook and Instagram to reach prospects, but the results have been modest. They aren't bad, but they could be better.

Congratulations on your new sealcoating business! Now that you have obtained licenses, permits, and financing, the only thing left to do is open a business bank account and you're good to go.

Asphalt maintenance is one of the safest jobs you can get into, but that doesn't mean you can be sloppy when it comes to workplace safety. Although sealcoating is not as dangerous as the roofing or construction industry, it's still prudent to prioritize safety in the workplace.

Investing in new crack repair equipment is one of your goals this year and now it's finally happening. But you're not really sure which unit suits your business, your needs, and your budget. Do you go for a smaller yet more portable asphalt crack filler or are you willing to go all in and splurge on a larger unit? Let us introduce you to our profit-making crack sealing machines so you can make the best decision for your business.
