Ian Chaput of TruSeal Asphalt & Concrete

Raised on “old school” values of hard work, respect and family, Ian caught the small business bug early on, mowing lawns, walking dogs and completing odd jobs in his neighborhood. That blossomed into a full-fledged lawn care business that he continued to operate while in college.

Running that business brought to his attention a void in the market for hardscape and driveway upkeep. After completing his degree, he opened TruSeal providing honest, quality asphalt and concrete pavement solutions for clients to fill the gap in the market.

TruSeal specializes in driveway sealcoating, repairing cracks and stormwater management. Ian has expanded into commercial markets offering tennis court resurfacing, parking lot striping and sealing, and concrete walkway installation. In a few short years, sales have soared to over $1 million dollars.


Ian is active with the Greater Severna Park & Arnold Chamber, supports Wellness House of Annapolis and the Admiral Cleaners Annual Coat Drive along with charity events like Taste & Sip and Concerts for a Cause.
