Why Sealcoat?

Protects Against Weather Damage

Sealcoating acts as a barrier against:

  • Rain, snow, and ice – Prevents water from penetrating and damaging the base layer.

  • UV rays – Prolonged sun exposure dries out asphalt, causing it to become brittle and crack. Sealcoating blocks UV radiation.

Extends the Life of Your Driveway

Regular sealcoating (every 2–3 years) can double or even triple the lifespan of your driveway by preventing major damage before it starts.

Prevents Oxidation and Deterioration

Over time, exposure to air causes asphalt to oxidize, turning it gray and brittle. Sealcoating slows this process, keeping the surface flexible and strong.

Improves Appearance

A freshly sealcoated driveway looks smooth, dark, and clean—instantly enhancing curb appeal.

Guards Against Chemicals

Sealcoat protects the driveway from:

  • Oil

  • Gasoline

  • De-icing salts

    These substances can soften and break down unprotected asphalt.

Makes Maintenance Easier

Sealcoated surfaces are easier to sweep, clean, and remove snow or debris from, thanks to the smoother, non-porous finish.

Crack Repair

1. Prevent Water Damage

Cracks allow water to seep beneath the surface. This weakens the base and sub-base layers, leading to:

  • Erosion of the foundation

  • Potholes

  • Freeze-thaw damage in colder climates (water expands when it freezes, making cracks worse)

2. Extend Pavement Lifespan

Prompt crack repair can extend the life of your asphalt by 5–10 years. Unrepaired cracks accelerate deterioration, leading to costly resurfacing or full replacement sooner.

3. Save Money

Crack sealing or filling is much cheaper than major repairs like:

  • Patching

  • Resurfacing

  • Full-depth reconstruction

4. Improve Safety

Cracks can cause trips and falls for pedestrians or jolts for vehicles and cyclists. Repairing them helps prevent accidents and liability.

5. Maintain Aesthetic Appeal

Cracks make asphalt look poorly maintained. Sealing them improves curb appeal, especially important for homes, businesses, and public areas.

6. Prevent Vegetation Growth

Weeds and grass can grow in untreated cracks, making them worse over time by expanding the gaps and breaking down the asphalt further.

Summary:

Fixing asphalt cracks early is a small investment that prevents larger, costlier problems down the road.
