For sealcoating crews

Sealcoating software that's actually free

Few trades are more at the mercy of the sky. Sealer wants 50°F and rising, a dry lot, and about 24 rain-free hours to cure. Your software should know that before your crew does. MakeHay does, for $0/mo.

What changes with MakeHay

Quote, schedule, get paid, come back.

Schedule around the weather, not despite it

Sealer is chemistry with a deadline: it wants ground temps around 50°F and rising, a dry surface, and roughly 24 rain-free hours to cure. MakeHay pulls the National Weather Service forecast for each lot's address when you schedule it and warns you when the day can't deliver: too cold to cure, rain on the job day, or rain landing inside the cure window after the coat is down.

Step 1

Quote it before you leave the site

Trace the lot on satellite view with the free satellite measurement tool before you drive there, then quote from the truck: sealcoat by the square foot, crack fill by the linear foot, oil-spot primer by the spot, and one coat or two as packages side by side. The customer picks one and approves it with a tap, before the competition calls back.

A MakeHay sealcoating quote with its packages side by side, One-coat seal at $5,235 and Two-coat seal at $7,635 marked recommended, above the first line: 480 linear feet of hot-applied crack fill, shared by all packages.

Step 2

Get paid without chasing

When the sealer's cured, the approved quote becomes an invoice in one click with a card and ACH pay link. Property managers pay online, automatic reminders chase the slow ones, and the checks you pick up on site get recorded against the job.

A sealcoating invoice as the customer sees it: 21,400 square feet of two-coat sealcoat, 360 linear feet of hot-applied crack fill, 6 oil-spot primers and 64 stalls restriped after the seal, the balance due, and a Pay online button.

Step 3

Keep every customer for the re-do

A good sealcoat lasts two to three years, which means every lot you seal this summer is a rebook down the road. MakeHay keeps the lot, the square footage, and the pricing on file, so the follow-up quote takes minutes instead of another site visit.

A property management customer in MakeHay with the Jobs tab open: lifetime value, a scheduled lot sealcoat, and three completed crack fill and sealcoat jobs with their amounts.

Step 4

Give every customer a portal

One private link per customer: messages with photos, documents you request, a heads-up on any contract waiting for their e-signature, and invoices they pay. No app, no password, free.

A job update in the customer's MakeHay portal: the note on a finished crack fill before the lot is sealed, and photos of a pour-pot crack filler on an asphalt drive, freshly filled cracks and a sealing wand laying hot sealant into a crack.

Want a website too? Our team of experienced web developers builds one from your account: a page per service in your price book, a page per town you serve, your photos, and your request form as the contact page, so every lead lands in Requests. Optional, $197 a month, your domain free for the first year. See the Website add-on

Weather rules

Sealcoating: high above 50°F, rain under 40%, and a dry day after to cure
Crack fill: rain under 40% on the day, so the sealant bonds
Striping after seal: rain under 20%, high above 50°F

Follow-ups that run themselves

Quote follow-up three days after an unanswered bid
Visit reminder the day before, so the lot is empty when you arrive
Overdue invoice reminders, then a review request once it's paid

FAQ

Sealcoating questions, answered straight.

Is it really free for sealcoating crews?

Yes. Unlimited customers, lots, quotes, scheduling, and invoices, free forever, not a trial. No monthly plan, no seat fees, and no credit card to start.

What's the catch for a sealcoating business?

No catch buried in a tier. The software costs us almost nothing per crew to run, so it's free. Card and ACH payments taken online carry processing costs, as they would with any provider.

Does it understand the cure window?

Yes, that's the point. Fresh sealer needs dry conditions for roughly 24 hours. MakeHay reads the forecast for the hours after your scheduled seal and flags rain landing inside that window, so you don't seal Tuesday afternoon and watch a Wednesday-morning shower undo it.

Can I measure the lot without driving to it?

Yes. Trace the pavement on satellite view for square footage and crack runs, and the numbers drop into your quote as quantities. Try it free, no account, at makehay.io/satellite-measurement-tool.

Can a sealcoating company take its data if it leaves?

It's yours. Ask and we'll export everything (customers, lots, quotes, invoices, payment history) and we delete what's left as laid out in our privacy policy.

Do I need a credit card to start quoting sealcoat jobs?

No. Sign up with an email and send your first sealcoat quote the same day. There's no trial countdown, because there's no paid plan it converts into.
