    FAQs

    Not really, but wear and tear from your employees does!

    xxx

    Andy Dinkin, who founded The SEALS in North Carolina in 2010, leads the Asheville operation. Every job starts with a complimentary inspection, a full kitchen analysis, and a written estimate. We advise, you decide.

    Once you approve the written estimate, we order custom-fit, OE-spec material from our domestic manufacturers and install it typically within five business days. Expedited service runs about three business days for a rush and a shipping charge. With Buncombe County’s restaurant growth driving more inspections, we would rather get the seal right than leave you failing a temperature check.
