ASPHALT SEALCOATING: A Cost-Effective Shield for Your Driveway
Protect Your Investment with Asphalt Sealcoating
Your driveway is more than just a pathway to your home; it’s a significant investment that deserves proper care. Bradley Asphalt has been using this very effective repair and protection solution for our clients, as a cost-effective way to significantly extend the life of your asphalt surface, saving you money in the long run.
What is Asphalt Sealcoating?
Asphalt sealcoating is a protective coating applied to the surface of an asphalt driveway or parking lot. It acts as a barrier against the elements, such as:
- UV rays: Sun exposure can cause asphalt to dry out and crack.
- Water damage: Water can seep into cracks and pores, leading to further deterioration.
- Oil and gas stains: These substances can discolor and weaken the asphalt.
- Extreme temperatures: Fluctuating temperatures can cause asphalt to expand and contract, leading to cracking.
The Benefits of Asphalt Sealcoating:
- Prolonged Lifespan: Sealcoating creates a protective layer that shields your asphalt from the elements, extending its lifespan.
- Enhanced Appearance: A fresh coat of sealcoat can restore your driveway’s appearance, making it look newer and more attractive.
- Improved Durability: Sealcoating strengthens the asphalt surface, making it more resistant to damage. Sealcoating can also fill in those tiny cracks, preventing them from traveling further.
- Cost-Effective: Regular sealcoating is a much more affordable option than replacing your entire driveway.
When to Sealcoat Your Driveway:
The ideal time to sealcoat your driveway is every 2-3 years, or when you notice signs of wear and tear, such as:
- Fading color: A loss of color indicates that the asphalt is starting to deteriorate.
- Cracking: Cracks allow water to penetrate the asphalt, leading to further damage.
- Potholes: Potholes are a sign of significant damage and should be repaired before sealcoating.
Choosing a Professional Sealcoating Contractor:
To ensure the best results, it’s essential to hire a reputable sealcoating contractor. Look for a contractor with experience and a proven track record. They should be able to assess your driveway’s condition and recommend the appropriate sealcoating product.
