Asphalt
Seal Coating

Asphalt seal coating is necessary to protect your pavement. Asphalt paving is a significant investment, and the best way to reduce the risk of needing an asphalt overlay or repair is to maintain and protect it properly by using a seal coat. We provide the highest-performance seal coat in the industry. It is a defensive overlay designed to protect your asphalt driveway or road from environmental elements. It seals your asphalt to prevent it from cracking and buckling. Over time, oil, rain, and other exterior elements can start to wear down asphalt, creating little dings and divots that not only create a bumpier ride; they also reduce the look of your asphalt drive, making it appear aged.

How Often Does Your Driveway Need to Be Seal Coated?

Although there is no “set” amount of time for seal coating, the necessary frequency usually depends on both the condition of the pavement and the climate or regional elements to which your asphalt is exposed. Extremely hot temperatures in the South require many commercial facilities and homeowners to use seal coats regularly. We recommend seal coating about every two to three years, but if you notice that your asphalt is beginning to crack or age, seal coating is a great way to add durability and make it look better.

What Are the Advantages of Seal Coating Your Asphalt Surface?

Asphalt is pretty low-maintenance, but that doesn’t equal “no” maintenance! By investing in seal coating, you can significantly reduce the risk of a need for asphalt repair or overlay. And you can keep it looking better over time! These are some of the other benefits of using a seal coat:

  • Protection from chemicals, oil, and oxidation
  • Long-term cost reduction
  • Beautify your curbside appeal with a shiny new surface
  • Extend the life cycle of your asphalt for years

Is Seal Coating Your Asphalt Worth It?

We are often asked if seal coating is really necessary and whether it is worth the cost. As the sun’s UV rays and oxygen beat down on your asphalt surface, they can begin to damage it and make it brittle. When it is exposed to the elements, it can start to crack and look aged. And when the rain begins to pool underneath it due to ineffective water drainage, it can lead to further cracking and breaking. Seal coating protects your asphalt surface from damage and can extend the lifespan of your driveway or road.

It Is All About Preparation

Before you seal coat any asphalt surface, it is critical that you perform the right preparation steps for maximum effectiveness. If you already have cracks in your asphalt, they need to be repaired prior to sealing. If they are minor, you can do small repairs like filling the cracks in, but sealant should not be applied until you handle the imperfections and make the necessary repairs. Seal coating is not something that you want to apply annually. If you use it too frequently, it can lead to cracking and other damage. Over time, doing it too frequently can lead to needing to prematurely replace your asphalt surface.
