Have you ever seen outside wood that is left unpainted (with no protection)? For that matter, have you ever seen ANY material that is conducive to oxidation left unprotected against the elements? You guessed it

- it's probably rotting and deteriorating. Asphalt is no different. Without regular maintenance and protection, it doesn't stand a chance.

The most obvious reason for property owners to regularly sealcoat their asphalt is that it SAVES MONEY. For pennies per square foot, you can protect your asphalt and extend the life of the asphalt almost indefinitely (depending on the research study you use).

Sealcoating Weatherproofs your asphalt. Once water enters the pavement it slowly destroys it by expanding and contracting during freeze/thaw cycles. Small defects open up admitting more water, causing more damage. Larger defects join together forming cracks. Cracks join up creating a pothole. Sealcoating seals the small defects and stops the cycle.

Sealcoating also helps prevent gas, oil, and salt damage and protects against oxidation from the Sun's damaging UV rays. In addition, sealcoating makes your asphalt easier to sweep, remove snow, and remove leaves.

Finally, sealcoating improves the appearance of your home or business. That consistent, black color JUST LOOKS BETTER!
