Sealcoating

Professional Sealcoating Services

Sealcoating is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your asphalt investment. A quality sealcoat acts as a barrier against the elements, prevents oxidation, and restores that fresh, dark appearance that makes your property look its best.

Why Sealcoat Your Asphalt?

Asphalt is constantly under attack from sun, rain, ice, oil, and traffic. Sealcoating provides critical protection:

• UV Protection: Blocks harmful sun rays that cause asphalt to become brittle and crack
• Water Resistance: Prevents water infiltration that leads to base damage and potholes
• Chemical Protection: Guards against oil, gasoline, and other vehicle fluids
• Freeze-Thaw Resistance: Reduces water penetration that causes damage during Southern Illinois winters
• Enhanced Appearance: Restores the rich, dark color of new asphalt
• Extended Lifespan: Regular sealcoating can double the life of your asphalt

Our Sealcoating Process

Proper application is essential for effective sealcoating. Our process ensures maximum protection:

• Surface Cleaning: Thorough cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and vegetation
• Crack Repair: Fill all cracks to prevent water infiltration (recommended before sealcoating)
• Oil Spot Treatment: Prime oil-stained areas for better adhesion
• Quality Materials: Commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealers
• Proper Application: Even coverage using professional spray equipment
• Curing Time: Adequate drying time before opening to traffic

When to Sealcoat

Timing matters for sealcoating success:

• New Asphalt: Wait at least 90 days after installation before first sealcoat
• Maintenance Schedule: Every 2-3 years for optimal protection
• Season: Best applied when temperatures are consistently above 50°F (typically May through September in Southern Illinois)
• Weather: Requires 24-48 hours of dry weather for proper curing
