Why Sealcoat?
Protect your investment! The US Federal Highway Administration has proven that well-timed maintenance of your pavement can be four to five times more effective than ripping and replacing the pavement. Timely maintenance means big cost savings in the future.
By its nature asphalt starts to become brittle due to exposure to the elements. First, the asphalt begins to visually lighten due to oxidation. Over time the asphalt will harden and the small fines in the asphalt matrix will begin to ravel, exposing the larger aggregate in the mix. The speed of deterioration depends on weather conditions, traffic volumes and traffic types. Left unmaintained costly repairs may be needed to fix cracks, alligatored cracking, potholes, etc.
You need to get ahead of this premature wear through sealcoating your investment. Sealcoating works by effectively weatherproofing your asphalt. Think of it as sunscreen for your pavement! It provides a protective barrier and wear surface against UV light and water penetration.
Asphalt pavement has a lifespan of seven to ten years. Sealcoating can more than double the life of your pavement. Think of the savings you can make over 20 or 30 years!
