I've used Academy Sealers for several years now, they've always done a great job dealing our driveway. After years of watching the driveway sag to the point that a small "hill" developed, we finally decided to replace the driveway. Academy gave us a great price and performed high quality work. They gave us a quote within hours, answered all of our questions, provided a discount on work performed by a specified date. The crew showed up as planned & replaced the driveway within the exact window of time they projected. And it looks GREAT! I definitely recommend Academy Sealers for professional, thorough and cost effective work! read more

Academy Sealers - After - driveway looks perfect! - Gutter Services Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

We had Academy Sealers come out recently to reseal our driveway, and they did a very nice job. We have a few large cracks in the asphalt, and the crew took special care to add crack filler and seal those areas extra well. During the job, they splashed some of the sealer on our garage door, but they came right back to clean it off, good as new. We had our driveway done along with a neighbor, and we each got a discount on the service for having them done at the same time. We've used Academy before, and will again. read more

They were professional and came back to take care of a small issue when called. Highly recommend for quick efficient service.

Brandon the Asphalt Manager not on the field in Sterling was combatant when I asked about the property line adjacent to where they were digging. All I wanted to know if proper survey with Loudoun County was done and also get a quote for our driveway. I was met with hostile response. read more

Very disappointed with the work done by Academy Sealers this time. The crew did the job in less than 20 minutes. They did not fill all the cracks plus other cracks appeared the next day. Extremely disappointed with the customer service, I was told the cracks were there and showed up with new treatment. I do not recommend them. read more

We paid this company $1070 to seal one long driveway and a smaller side driveway. The guy who came out to the bid was nice enough and seemed to understand what we were looking for. However, when the two man crew arrived, they were only here about an hour! It felt rushed and sloppy. They did not fill all of the cracks, the cracks they filled were not sealed completely, and they missed the entire side driveway. We are being told they cannot be back for over two weeks to finish the actual job. Disappointed to say the least. read more

They did a great job on sealing my driveway, but it rained a few hours later. Since my driveway is flat the standing water ruined the sealer. Without question Academy Sealers reapplied the sealer to my entire driveway. I could not have asked for better customer service! read more

Academy Sealers sealed our asphalt driveway earlier this week and did a great job! We noticed that it has been sealed and cured in the 72 hrs we kept our cars off. It looks great!You get what you pay for. They were professional and efficient. They did their best in filling the cracks. We're OK. read more

Academy Sealers sealed our row of driveways today. Very reasonable charges. Did a superb and professional job. No surprises. No drama. 100% satisfied. Use this fine company! read more

Total scam . Painted on $40 dollars worth of tar . Save your money. 4 buckets from Home Depot would do a better job.

We highly recommend Academy Sealers 703 870-3840. We have the drive sealed each year - it preserves it and gives it a beautiful, clean look. Academy is a 1st rate company. I've always felt that when things go easy, peasy, it's great but the real test of a company's quality and service is when something needs to be fixed. This year there was a small issue (I was hesitant to call) but when I did and talked to Brandon, the Manager, what a pleasant surprise -- NICE, POLITE, LISTENED, WAS RESPECTFUL - and sent a crew out the very next morning. Kudos to Brandon and the Academy team. Put us on the schedule again for next year read more

I was very disappointed with this service. They sprayed and dripped the sealer all over the patio pavers on both sides of the driveway as well as on the apron and on the garage door. It is a mess. when I called to let them know about this problem the man I spoke with told me I could buy some goo gone and remove it myself. The customer service was as disappointing and outrageous as the job they did on our driveway. I do not recommend this company and will not use them again. read more

They are not experts in driveway sealing, they are expert in cheating. Recently, I was attracted to a flyer stating that Academy Sealers would do my driveway sealing for $244, which includes " treating most large cracks." They did not even treat the small crack. This was a lousy job that took only 20 minutes. Customers should avoid this company. I will not even give them a single star. read more

I should have read the reviews first. They completed my driveway. Once done, we noticed cracking almost immediately afterward. I brought this to their attention and I was pleasantly surprised they came out and admitted they did a poor job on the foundation for the new driveway. They agreed to fix their work. Well, they only fixed one section. Now our driveway looks patchy. I thought they were still going to seal the driveway or do something to make it more anesthetically pleasing. Nope. They sent a huge bill and said they completed their end of the bargain. I'll agree to the one star because they did offer to come out in the Fall and seal it. I will update if they do. Meanwhile, I have to explain to my neighbors, family and friends why our driveway looks like it was done in sections. read more

I do not recommend this place. We were told they would fill in the cracks. We were not told that the cracks would still be visible and look like they are not sealed at all. Looks exactly the same before they did the work. Then when I complained they pointed me to extremely small fine print saying these "spider web cracks" would still show. Most of our driveway was spiderweb cracks. They should have told us that and then offered the upgraded service which is adding more asphalt. Instead of being honest and giving me the complete picture, they just wanted my business. I would have gone with the upgraded service had I been informed and educated. I feel completed ripped off and want my $700 back back. Pictures attached of their work. And my driveway looks terrible. read more

I highly recommend this company. I requested service during a rainy few weeks and they had to postpone several times. Their communication was excellent throughout the whole process. A few spots were washed out due to unrelenting rain and they simply came back, assessed, and fixed it very well. Next time I need any services they offer they will be my only call. read more

The driveway was paved in 2021. Within 2 years, part of the driveway sagged and was repaired with a shoddy patch reminiscent of a rundown strip mall pothole repair. Additionally, grass is growing through the asphalt inches away from the edge, meaning the asphalt was originally applied carelessly, too thinly, or otherwise improperly. Academy's response is to alternately blame the customer for damage or ignore emails when the initial response to the issue was questioned and/or rebutted. Their go-to solution is to recommend their annual tar application. It must be nice to first install a shoddy product and then generate annual recurring revenue to cover up the original subpar work. In sum, I wouldn't recommend Academy. read more

We had Academy Sealers reseal our very large driveway. They took the time to fill and seal all of the cracks we had forming. Our driveway looks smooth, neat, and professional. The crew showed up when they said they would and were in and out fairly quickly. We highly recommend Academy Sealers! read more

Definitely quoted $89 on phone; I confirmed with him twice. He said $89. Now after the work is done, they claim $98. Bait and switch. Very illegal. read more

We've used Academy Sealers twice; both times they responded quickly to my e-mailed request to have our driveway resealed, provided instructions for preparation and a reasonable quote in their response, showed up as scheduled, and did a great job. During my daily walks I also notice other driveways that Academy has resealed, and every one of them looks just as good as ours. We'll continue to use Academy Sealers every couple of years. read more

my neighbors and I have used Academy Sealers to seal each of our driveways for over 10 years now. We all are completely satisfied with their.1) reliability, 2) punctuality, 3) quality of application, 4) quality of the product that they use to seal the driveway, and 5) the easy online payment system. My neighbors and I pool our driveways to receive a discount which simply allows Academy Sealers to save money and mobilization and demobilization while they're in our neighborhood. It saves them money and saves us money also, which is a win-win for both of us. We highly recommend Academy Sealers anytime you need to seal your driveway from the elements all year round. read more

they were on time and courteous unfortunately, left some of the cracks completely filled in. I'd have to say a below average job I've used them in the past and this was not typical. I have a task of video before hand to make sure they said a half inch crack would be filled, and they did fill in parts needed another five minutes worth of work. They were here less than one hour and they were very reasonably priced at $650 but again I'd only be able to give them three stars not typical and if this was a work I'd have to look elsewhere before I rebook them. I could not recommend . read more

Academy Sealers fixed my cracks and we have had no issues since they sealed our driveways at multiple rental properties. Would recommend.

Misleading ad, and unprofessional customer service. I would not recommend this company to anyone I know. The postcard said that they will clear the dirt and debris. Our driveway had some grass growing, and we didn't know that they wouldn't pull those out. They should at least let me know on the spot that our driveway had grass, and they wouldn't pull any out. They would just seal it that way, and those cracks wouldn't be seal. I would have pulled the grass out myself before having them pouring the tar on it. They said it said on their postcard that they would only clean dirt and debris, and treat large cracks. When calling them, they said that it isn't their responsibility to pull the grass out. So I asked them once it's dry, we can pull the weeds out, then they can come out to reseal those cracks that are there. They said that they won't automatically do it. I will have to send picture to them, and they will consider it case by case. I'm definitely unsatisfied with this misunderstanding. And the man on the phone seemed irritated with my concern. He pretty pointed out that it was my fault for thinking that way. I would not recommend this company to any one I know at this point. read more

We had Academy Sealers replace our asphalt driveway in May of 2022. They were not the cheapest option, but they were the only company that provided a 2-year warranty. We will have to get our driveway sealed by them each year to keep the warranty in effect, but their prices for sealing were very competitive. We are very pleased with our new driveway--they did a great job and we have no complaints. read more

I had concerns with their original seal coat but Academy Sealers were very responsive and redid the coating.

They left extensive sealant splashes on my garage door and vinyls. They came back to clean but left smudges and scratch marks. Ignore the dirt marks. The scratches and smudges show where they tried to clean. I would not go back to them, but use their competitor. Reston customer read more

Wow. They did a great job. Fixed the stone damage from DAGO Hardscape who did a horrible job. Driveway looks awesome. Highly recommend them! read more

Silver Spring location. We had a new sealant, they were quick, professional, and the job was neat and tidy.

Academy Sealers was very easy to work with. Quoted a very fair price for the price. Showed up when they said they would. Most importantly they did a quality job. I would highly recommend them for driveway sealing!! read more

Unusual but I'm giving Academy Sealers high marks for talking me out of sealing my driveway in the cool, fall weather and to wait until spring! I was keen to get my driveway sealed prior to selling my house but they pointed out that my shady driveway could take a week or more to dry and if it rained it would spatter and stain the garage doors and anything else nearby. They were very patient with me during the entire exchange (boy did I want to get this done!). With that much pre-sale service, I would definitely call them for my next project. read more

Academy Sealers replaced our driveway several years ago; they did an outstanding job. We continue to use their driveway sealing service to extend this new driveway's life. This year they came by on the 08Aug to perform our annual driveway sealing; again, they did an outstanding job. Great communication, great price and on time. Highly recommended. read more

Not a very happy customer. The sealant is painted in multiple directions. The crack filling is standing out. The response from the company writes that that is normal. I have used a different sealing company in the past. It looked much better after their job. read more

Academy Sealers - Not a good finish - Gutter Services Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Academy Sealers did a terrific job sealcoating my driveway. The crew that conducted the work were professional and made sure that an even coat of sealer was applied across the driveway. They took extra time to seal the edges of my driveway that run down into a drain. They also put down stakes and heavy duty caution tape to block the driveway while it drys. I plan to use academy sealers again in the future. read more

Bears crew did a great job again! We are going to be able to squeeze another couple of years out of our driveway before getting new tar! They came on time and aside from our smooth driveway and ribbon, there are no signs that they were here. Very neat and on time. What else do you want from a driveway sealer? read more

Awful company, could care less how their work looks and if the customer is happy. I asked repeatedly to have someone come out to look at the job that was done. I even waited the 3 weeks they told me to reassess and when I contacted them they just gave me excuses instead of coming out to look at it like I requested. Should have listened to my neighbor who also said they were not happy with the company. read more

We had them reseal our driveway. After reading other older reviews, apparently they're under new management. I had a very good first time experience with them with standing behind their work. The workers used nice straight sweeps over the first half of our driveway, but toward the last half they spread it in zig zag sweeps, which was unsightly and somewhat thin. So I took pics and sent them to Ed Brophy, who had the crew redo it to my satisfaction. So kudos! read more

As with many others, I received a flyer in my mailbox that they would seal my driveway for $115. So I sent a request through the website to have my driveway sealed and manager Brandon Gorey replied promptly and scheduled the job for a week later. His email explained everything I needed to know, so between the email and the flyer I knew what to expect when they did the job. The 2 person crew arrived and completed the job in about 10 minutes. Some reviews here claim that they are expecting them to fill in any driveway cracks so they disappear completely, but for $115 I think they are expecting too much. They actually fill the cracks with sealant which is what I thought would happen, and that's fine by me. Overall a good job and I will hire them again in the future. read more
