On our residential Highland Park asphalt sealing jobs we always use asphalt-based sealant. It is
comparable in price and effectiveness to coal-tar based sealant, but is much safer. Coat-tar based
sealant is highly toxic and has been banned in many parts of this country, including, in 2015,
Winnetka, IL. Please go to our Environment page for a complete explanation.
Gerardo is in charge of our work crews, and he is very demanding and meticulous. The keys to a
quality Highland Park driveway sealcoating job are site preparation and manual application by
brush of the sealant. Because we pay particular attention to these two keys, you will be pleased
with the results. Your parking lot or driveway will look great, be protected from deterioration, and
last longer. Regular application of sealant results in significant long-term savings.
We also focus on providing first-class service and on repeat business. We have found that quality
service and work leads to repeat business and to word-of-mouth advertising, which is, of course,
the best sort of advertising.

Services
Asphalt Repair and More
Asphalt is a great, durable material – but inevitably over time it is worn down and requires repair.
Areas of high stress such as the very bottom of a driveway and parking lots with heavy traffic are
particularly susceptible to damage. At Schell Sealcoating Co., we use several different methods to fill
cracks in asphalt so that water does not enter and expand when it freezes, thereby making cracks
worse. We also remove deteriorated asphalt and patch with new asphalt.
Cold Patch Method
On smaller jobs of less than 25 square feet we use the cold patch method. The method is so named
because the asphalt is taken from bags and is cold, or at least, at air temperature and not artificially
heated. First, we cut the driveway to a depth of at least two inches to ensure the patch is wellanchored with clean, straight lines. We then remove broken and deteriorated asphalt, install new
asphalt, and tamp down the new surface. A cold patch, while generally not as long-lasting as a hot
patch, works well on residential driveways if it is not in a place of high stress.
Advantages of the Hot Patch Method
The hot patch method is the preferred technique for areas of high stress as well as for larger
patches. We cut and remove old asphalt in the same manner as cold patches, but the new asphalt is
purchased hot and in bulk at the asphalt yard. This asphalt must be installed before it cools off and
becomes difficult to work with. Hot patches are rolled with a steamroller and can last 30 years if
properly cared for.
Quality Driveway Sealing in Winnetka, Illinois
In addition to the aforementioned services, we also sealcoat driveways and sealcoat and stripe
parking lots. After we clean the asphalt and seal cracks, we apply Gemseal Black Diamond sealant
by hand with brushes. This sealant is eco-friendly and is not derived from coal tar. The only time we
use coal tar sealant is by request for commercial jobs.
In 2015, we will continue to offer commercial and residential snow removal. Please email or call if
you would like a free estimate for snow removal or salting.
Get Asphalt Sealing for Your Highland Park Driveway
As Highland Park driveway sealcoating specialists, we want you to understand the products we use
and why we use them. This page talks about our commitment to using effective and safe products in
our Highland Park driveway sealings.
Coat tar sealant contains a highly toxic, carcinogenic group of chemicals: polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons or PAHs. Even the manufacturers of coat tar sealant admit that their product is
extremely toxic. In addition, PAHs do not easily degrade, and they find their way into lakes close to
areas where coal tar sealant is commonly used. In contrast, much lower levels of PAHs are found in
the western part of the United States, where asphalt sealant, not coal tar sealant, in commonly used.
Officials have banned coal tar sealant in Austin, Texas, Dane County, Wisconsin, and Winnetka, IL.
Home Depot and Lowe’s no longer sell coal tar sealant.
