3 Reasons to Sealcoat Your Driveway


Thinking about sealcoating your driveway, but not sure if it's worth your time and money? Here are three reasons why it's one of the best decisions you can make for your asphalt driveway.

Reason #1: Sealcoating provides an extra layer of defense.

Asphalt is durable, but it's not invincible. Water, gas and oil spills, and the sun's ultraviolet rays can all call cause asphalt to deteriorate. Luckily, a fresh sealcoat adds an extra layer of defense to help protect against these elements.

Reason #2: A fresh sealcoat makes your driveway look better.

Is your driveway faded or riddled with small cracks? Sealcoating can repair minor surface damage and restore the deep black finish of a freshly-paved driveway – proof that it is just as visually appealing as it is functional.

Reason #3: Sealcoating offers a good return on investment.

Sealcoating your driveway is a relatively cheap process, often costing just pennies per square foot. Resurfacing or repaving your driveway, on the other hand, is a much bigger investment, and can cost upwards of $4 per square foot. Take into account that a routine sealcoating can double the lifespan of your driveway, and its easy to see why it is a sound financial decision.

Sometimes, unfortunately, sealcoating isn't enough. While it is a good solution for minor surface damage, deep cracks and potholes may require resurfacing from a professional contractor.
