Investing in a professional sealcoating service is one of the best methods to seal and protect your driveway, extend its lifespan, and maintain it shiny and aesthetically pleasing. Whether you have a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot, professional sealcoating your driveway provides a protective layer that protects it from harsh weather, UV exposure, water infiltration, and wear and tear due to vehicles. Below is what you can expect from our comprehensive driveway sealcoating process:
1. Thorough Cleaning for Optimum Adhesion
Our sealing process starts with the very crucial initial stage of thorough cleaning of your driveway. We employ industrial-grade brushes, brooms, and leaf blowers with high power to loosen all grime, dust, dirt, and loose stones. Thorough cleaning alone will allow us to secure optimal adhesion of the sealant and allow for an even, smooth surface for coating. Any remaining impurities will make the sealant peel off prematurely or break down prematurely, and hence cleaning is the secret behind lasting results.
2. Surroundings Protected
As a measure of avoiding unwanted staining and giving you a neat, professional-looking finish, we thoroughly protect the surrounding areas. Protective coverings and long-lasting masking tape are put on curbs, concrete, garage edges, sidewalks, and landscaping. This ensures that your asphalt surface is only treated with the sealant while everything else remains clean.
3. High-Quality Double-Coat Sealing for Added Strength
Our premium sealing process involves two overlapping applications of top-quality, oil-based, bitumen-based asphalt sealer. This two-coat application delivers:
- Improved coverage for a deep, rich, jet-black appearance.
- Increased durability to withstand harsh weather and traffic wear.
- Increased oxidation, UV, and water resistance.
The sealant acts as a shield, protecting against premature wear, cracking, and potholes while enhancing the visual appeal of your driveway or parking lot.
4. Full Crack Filling to Prevent Future Damage
We include 20 linear feet of crack filling as part of our standard driveway sealing package free. Cracks are the number one reason why asphalt deteriorates since water enters and creates further cracks and damage. For additional cracks beyond the included 20 feet, we have a price of $1.00 per linear foot.
There are some forms of cracks that will require specialized repairs, including:
- Spider web cracks – Signs of underlying base problems.
- Alligator cracking – Evidence of structural failure, in need of more than a simple sealcoating.
- Big cracks greater than 2 inches – May require additional reinforcement and crack sealing compound.
A qualified technician will inspect your driveway and make recommendations on repairing serious cracks to maintain long-term stability and protection.
5. Safety Measures to Achieve Smooth Curing Process
Once we’ve applied the sealant, we take extra measures to prevent interference while it’s curing. We close off the area with caution tape and barricades to keep pedestrians and traffic from accidentally walking or driving over the new sealant. This prevents smudging, uneven coat application, and premature wear until the sealant is fully dry.
6. Curing Time and Longevity Expectations
The curing time for asphalt sealcoating depends on weather conditions such as temperature and humidity. Generally, the sealant cures in 12 to 48 hours. During this period:
- Do not drive over the surface to prevent tire marks or indentations.
- Keep minimum foot traffic to allow bonding.
With routine reapplication and regular maintenance, a professionally sealed driveway can endure 2 to 3 years. To ensure our customers, we provide a 1-year workmanship warranty on all sealcoating jobs.
Why Choose Professional Asphalt Sealing For Driveway Sealcoating?
Having a professional asphalt sealing company ensures you receive top-quality, long-lasting results with expert attention and care. Here’s why it’s worth the investment in professional asphalt maintenance:
Improved Appearance
A driveway newly sealed turns back to its black shiny appearance, as if it were fresh and well-maintained. This truly boosts curb appeal for homebuyers and provides a professional appearance for companies.
Strong Shield Against the Elements with Driveway Sealcoating
Asphalt will fade, crack, and wear down over time when exposed to sunlight, rain, snow, and ice. Sealcoating offers a barrier to the effects of UV rays, water penetration, and oxidation, which prolongs the asphalt surface’s lifespan.
Cost-Effective Maintenance
Asphalt sealing performed regularly is an affordable means of preserving your driveway or parking lot. Rather than spending money on costly asphalt resurfacing or replacement, routine sealcoating prevents costly repairs by keeping the surface intact and resistant to wear and tear.
Improved Safety & Performance with Asphalt Sealing
Potholes, cracks, and rough pavement create tripping obstacles and damage to cars. Sealing your asphalt evens out tiny blemishes, giving drivers and walkers a safe, skid-resistant path.
