Sealcoating

Protection Against Elements

Sealcoating acts as a barrier, protecting asphalt surfaces from the damaging effects of water, oils, and UV rays. Without this protective layer, asphalt can become brittle and crack as the essential oils within it dry out and oxidize under the sun. Water can penetrate these cracks, worsening them with freeze-thaw cycles, and chemicals like oil and gasoline can dissolve the binding agents in asphalt. Regular sealcoating minimizes these risks, thereby extending the pavement's life and maintaining its structural integrity.

Cost Efficiency and Aesthetic Improvement

Applying a sealcoat is a cost-effective maintenance strategy. It significantly extends the lifespan of asphalt surfaces, reducing the frequency and severity of repairs needed over time. This can translate into substantial savings on long-term maintenance costs. Additionally, sealcoating refreshes the appearance of asphalt, giving it a consistent, dark finish that boosts the curb appeal of the property. This not only enhances the property's visual appeal but can also increase its value.
