What we do

---

 Sealcoating is the process of applying a coal tar emulsion over an asphalt pavement to prevent oxidation damage and prolong the life of a new and old structurally sound asphalt pavement. 

 Asphalt Sealcoat is used anywhere that asphalt has been laid. It commonly is applied to parking lots associated with commercial businesses (including strip malls and shopping centers); apartment and condominium complexes; churches, schools, and business parks and on residential driveways. 

 Not only does sealcoat protect and extend the life of your asphalt, it also enhances the visual appearance and increases the value of your property. Besides making your pavement look brand new again, pavement sealer protects asphalt pavements from the destructive elements of weather, gas, oil, anti-freeze and many other chemicals that could deteriorate the asphalt. 

   With proper care, an asphalt driveway can last you 30 years or more. However, you don’t need to seal a new driveway right away. It is important to allow the asphalt to fully cure. Sealing a driveway too soon can cause problems. If the driveway is not fully cured, the sealer will lock in the hydrocarbon oils that provide asphalt its flexible quality. Consequently, the driveway becomes forever sensitive to imprints and marks, like the ones you may have seen caused by twisting tires, bicycle kickstands, and another heavy object. We recommend waiting 12 months before sealing your new asphalt.

 The amount of time it takes for pavement sealer to completely dry depends on the temperature and humidity conditions. The drying time can be as little as 30 minutes under warm, dry conditions or as long as several hours in cool temperatures with high humidity. We usually recommend staying off a newly sealcoated surface for 24 hours. 

 Starting in the spring when temperatures are expected to remain above 50 degrees F and ending in the fall, when the temps are consistently below 50 degrees F.
