Protects Against Damage

• The main advantage of applying a sealcoat spray to your asphalt is that it provides protection. The sealcoat protects the asphalt from water, oil spills, and other chemicals that can sink into the asphalt and damage it. The sealcoat spray will also protect the asphalt from damage caused by UV rays from the sun. When the asphalt is left unprotected it can buckle and crack because it's more brittle than it should be.
  
  

Looks New

• Newly laid asphalt enhances the look of any driveway or parking lot. Many businesses and homeowners like having freshly laid asphalt in the driveway. Asphalt that's been protected with a sealcoat application continues to look brand new. The asphalt will appear new as long as sealcoat spray is applied regularly. This is important because applying regular seal coating costs less than redoing asphalt pavement. Sealcoat spray can also make tired looking asphalt appear freshly laid.
  
  

Decreases Maintenance Costs

• Maintaining asphalt can be expensive over time. Asphalt that hasn't been properly sealed will need constant maintenance because it isn't protected. Cracks are filled with tar and large holes must be filled with more asphalt. By applying sealcoat there will be reduced incidences of damage to the asphalt, cutting maintenance costs. A lower maintenance cost leaves you more money to spend on other things, such as landscaping and curb appeal.
  
  

Safety for Traffic

• Asphalt is a major part of our roadways. Over time, the rough layer on the asphalt that provides traction to cars becomes worn. The roadway becomes slippery when this happens. Instead of being able to stop quickly, drivers may face dangerous road conditions. These conditions are exacerbated with moisture and inclement weather. Applying a sealcoat every two or three years can help protect drivers from bad road conditions.
