Asphalt Driveway Sealing

​

Benefits Of Sealcoating​

Slows oxidation
Asphalt is made up of binder, oils, rock, stone, and gravel. The binder holds these

components together. When new asphalt is laid it is normal for oils to oxidize out

which will make the pavement stronger. Experts suggest sealing your asphalt

parking lot 90 days after the asphalt is laid to slow down the oxidation.

There are many things that contribute to oxidation: sunlight, rain, air, and

chemicals being the most common.

 

Improves appearance
Your parking lot or driveway is the welcome mat to your business or home. After years of exposure to sunlight and the elements, asphalt will gradually become a dull grey. Applying a fresh coat of sealer will bring your asphalt back to its jet-black finish from when it was initially paved. Asphalt sealing is also a great solution for homeowners who are looking to boost the curb appeal of their home, the matt black finish will make your driveway look as good as new. If you’re looking to list any type of property for sale a fresh coat of asphalt sealer will also help increase your property value.

Saves money long term
Whether you own an asphalt parking lot or driveway you need to protect your 

investment. By creating an asphalt maintenance schedule that includes asphalt

sealing you can safely double the life of your asphalt by applying sealer every year

or two.  Having your asphalt sealed will cost between 30 to 40 cents per square

foot, comparing that to $4 - 5 dollars per square foot for repaving, it makes sealing

your asphalt a no-brainer.

 

​

Prevents water penetration
Water is to Asphalt what Kryptonite is to Superman.  Keeping your asphalt sealed on a regular basis will help to prevent water penetration. A water-based coal tar emulsion sealer will help by filling minor cracks and imperfections in your asphalt. By keeping those imperfections and cracks filled you are lessening the chance of water freezing and expanding inside of them which will make them grow larger year after year.
