What is sealcoating?

Sealcoating is the application of a specialized spray to a paved surface. As evident by its name, a sealcoat is literally a coat that acts as a sealant, helping to preserve the asphalt surface.

What are the benefits of sealcoating?

First and foremost, regularly sealcoating your asphalt surface can greatly extend it's lifespan. A sealcoat provides an extra layer of defense, helping to protect your driveway or parking lot against damage from water, oil, UV rays, and other elements that may cause premature deterioration. A fresh sealcoat can also restore the rich black color of an asphalt surface, patch up several small cracks at once, and provide extra traction in slippery conditions.

How often should I sealcoat my driveway?

As a general rule of thumb, you should sealcoat your driveway or parking lot once every 3-5 years. However, your surface could require more frequent sealcoating based on the type and size of your surface, as well environmental factors.

Is sealcoating expensive?

Not at all. Sealcoating can usually be applied for just pennies per square foot. When you take into account the cost of resurfacing or repaving a damaged driveway, sealcoating is a very smart investment.
