Seal Coating Benefits
Seal coating adds a protective layer to asphalt surfaces. It prevents water from seeping in, blocks harmful UV rays, and resists damage from oil, gas, and salt. This process restores the pavement’s dark black finish, making it look fresh, clean, and professionally maintained.
The coating itself is a blend of oil, water, and slate. Once applied, the water evaporates, leaving behind a durable wear layer. This layer strengthens the asphalt and extends its life, helping it withstand everyday traffic and seasonal weather.
Seal coating is especially valuable for both residential and commercial properties. From driveways to large parking lots, this protective treatment improves appearance and adds long-term value to your surface. It’s a small investment that offers noticeable improvements in durability and aesthetics.
Cost Savings
Seal coating also offers significant cost savings over time. The National Pavement Contractors Association reports that untreated asphalt often needs repairs within two years and may require a full overlay every seven years.
With consistent maintenance, those major expenses can often be avoided. For example, a 10,000-square-yard asphalt lot could save approximately $127,000 over 15 years through regular upkeep. That’s up to 65% in savings—a compelling reason to act proactively.
Preventative care is always more affordable than reactive repair, and this process is one of the most effective tools for managing pavement costs.
