North Shore Sealcoating

North Shore Sealcoating is a Peabody driveway crew — sealcoating, crack filling, and the occasional parking lot — that answers fast and turns jobs around quickly. On Google it holds a 4.5-star average across 24 ratings, and most reviews tell the same short story: the quote came back within minutes, the crew showed up when promised, and the driveway looked new by the time they left. The reviews split sharply from there. In October 2025 a customer wrote that after paying without seeing the finished work — on a neighbor's recommendation — the promised crack repairs were never completed and calls, texts and voicemails went unreturned, warranty assurances included. A 2023 reviewer described crack filler that washed out within a single season and a crumbling driveway edge left more jagged than before, adding that the company said it had fielded other calls about the same batch. And in July 2024 a couple waited all day for a scheduled sealing that never arrived, with no call either way. The praise is genuine but brief: most five-star reviews are a few lines about a fresh-looking driveway, and four of them landed within the same two days in July 2026. The detailed accounts are the unhappy ones, and two of the three describe the same pattern — money paid, work unfinished or short-lived. If you call them, the sensible shape is simple: take the quick quote, put the crack-repair scope and any warranty in writing, and pay only after you have walked the finished driveway. Speed and price draw consistent thanks here; the trouble customers describe starts after the payment clears.
