New England Sealcoating

New England Sealcoating, out of Hingham, is the outfit condo associations, HOAs, churches, and road associations keep calling back for driveway, parking-lot, and court sealcoating — the reviews read less like one-off jobs and more like decades-long relationships. One reviewer said they've used the company for over 25 years; a road association wrote that crack sealing done on their 30-year-old road, including the connections to driveway aprons, was "still perfect" two years later; another reported cracks sealed in a Little Compton, RI road were "still okay" going on three years. A recurring cast of names — Craig Swain (the sales rep customers credit with taking care of them), plus Jim, Adam, and Bill — get called out by name for showing up, communicating, and doing the job right. The volume of specific, positive detail is real: a tennis court "looks as good as new," a basketball court got extra paint left behind for touch-ups, an 87-space parking lot got patched and repaired inside a tight window, and one reviewer described Adam talking them out of a more expensive scope they'd already signed for once he saw the lesser scope would do the job. Its BBB profile is A+ and accredited, and it holds a 4.8★ average on Google from 99 ratings. There are real complaints too, worth knowing. In a 2022 review, a customer described handing over a deposit in April for work promised in June that never happened — the company went unresponsive for months before refunding it, after what the customer called a lot of pushing. A separate 2022 review described being quoted a seven-month-plus wait for a free estimate, then having the president show up unannounced roughly a year later only to dismiss the job as too expensive without properly looking at it. More recently, in a 2025 review, a customer whose project the crew tackled through a stretch of rainy days said workers left before putting everything back in place because they had to catch a ferry off Martha's Vineyard — a real, if isolated, lapse in follow-through. A short 2025 review also complained about windshield-flyer advertising, which is a marketing gripe rather than a workmanship one. For a driveway, parking lot, or sports-court resurfacing job, this is a company with a long, mostly glowing track record and staff customers name by name — the thing worth confirming upfront, given the two older reviews, is a firm start date if a deposit is requested ahead of the work.
