Sealcoating is a preventative way to extend the life of your asphalt, beautifies your pavement and protects your investment. Sealcoating is the process of applying a product to the surface of the asphalt that fills the pores to protect against water, chemicals, and other elements that erode the surface. It gives it a consistent rich, black color to a faded parking lot and provides an anti-slip surface for traffic and pedestrian safety.
Why should you sealcoat?
To protect the asphalt from ultraviolet light, oxidation, water penetration and chemical attack such as oil or fuel leaked or spilled on your pavement. It also enhances and compliments the appearance of your home or facility.
How long does sealcoating last?
A fresh application of sealcoat will protect a paved surface for three years depending on the state of the pavement when the sealcoat was applied. In other words, sealcoating lasts longer when applied to fresh paved surfaces.
How much does it cost to sealcoat?
The cost of sealcoating depends heavily on the price of materials and the size of the pavement structure. In any case, the best way to find the exact cost of a sealcoating project is to get in touch with a
When should the asphalt be sealcoated?
Sealcoating is best applied when the surface and air temperatures are 50° or above for a period of 24 hours or more. Therefore, the optimal time of year to sealcoat paved surfaces is the late spring, summer and early autumn months. As a general rule you should seal your driveway every 1 to 3 years. If you can see your asphalt turning a grey color and notice the individual stones that make up your asphalt surface, you know it’s time to seal it up.
New asphalt
When asphalt is first installed it is very porous, and thus more vulnerable to erosion from water, oils, gasoline, etc. It is important to seal the pores of the asphalt no sooner than 6 months of installation. You need to wait to seal new asphalt until the oils in the new asphalt have dried out. These oils prevent the sealer from bonding and prematurely wearing off.
Asphalt that’s been sealed before
Needs to be re-sealed on a regular basis, depending on traffic, simply because the sealer wears off over time due to traffic, snow plowing, salts, chemicals and sun exposure.
