What is sealcoating?

Sealcoating is an essential part of preventative asphalt maintenance that helps extend the life of your driveway. It forms a protective layer that guards against damage from sunlight, water, oil, and other harmful elements. Over time, exposure to these factors can lead to cracking, fading, and deterioration. Regular sealcoating not only enhances the appearance of your pavement but also protects your investment by maintaining the strength and integrity of the surface.

Benefits of sealcoating

Asphalt surfaces gradually deteriorate over time due to oxidation and exposure to elements like UV rays, oils, and chemicals. Oxidation, which occurs when asphalt is exposed to oxygen, causes it to become brittle and lose its rich, dark color. To slow this process and protect the surface, it's recommended to apply a sealcoat every two to three years, depending on local weather conditions and how heavily the area is used.
