Sealcoating

What is Sealcoating?

Sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces that shields them from the damaging effects of water, UV rays, chemicals, and everyday wear and tear. This process involves spreading a specially formulated coating over the surface, which fills in small cracks and imperfections, creating a smooth, water-resistant barrier. The result is a pavement that not only looks new but is also better equipped to withstand the elements.

Why Sealcoating is Essential

• Protection from the Elements: Asphalt is highly susceptible to damage from sunlight, water, and chemicals like oil and gasoline. Without protection, these elements can cause the asphalt to crack, crumble, and deteriorate over time. Sealcoating provides a shield that prevents these substances from penetrating the surface, keeping your pavement strong and intact.
• Prevents Water Damage: Water is one of the biggest threats to asphalt surfaces. When water seeps into cracks, it can cause the pavement to expand and contract with temperature changes, leading to potholes and major structural damage. Sealcoating fills minor cracks and prevents water from entering, protecting your pavement from these destructive freeze-thaw cycles.
• Enhances Appearance: Over time, asphalt surfaces can fade and lose their rich, black color due to exposure to sunlight and weather conditions. Sealcoating restores the dark, fresh appearance of your pavement, significantly improving the curb appeal of your property.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Regular sealcoating is a cost-effective way to maintain your pavement and avoid expensive repairs or complete resurfacing. By extending the life of your asphalt, sealcoating saves you money in the long run.

Our Sealcoating Process

1. Thorough Cleaning: We begin by thoroughly cleaning the asphalt surface to remove dirt, debris, oil stains, and vegetation. A clean surface is essential for the sealant to adhere properly and create a strong bond.
2. Crack Filling: Before applying the sealcoat, we fill any cracks or potholes with a high-quality asphalt filler. This step prevents water from seeping into the pavement and causing further damage.
3. Sealant Application: We apply the sealcoat using professional-grade equipment to ensure an even and consistent layer. Depending on the size and condition of the pavement, we may use a brush, squeegee, or spray application method to achieve the best results.
4. Drying and Curing: After the sealcoat is applied, we allow it to dry and cure properly. This process typically takes 24 to 48 hours, depending on weather conditions, during which time the surface should be kept free of traffic.
5. Final Inspection: Once the sealcoat has fully cured, we conduct a final inspection to ensure a flawless finish and complete customer satisfaction.
