Sealcoating is the process of applying a protective layer over asphalt surfaces to shield them from damage caused by UV rays, water, oil, and chemicals. This coating helps preserve the asphalt’s flexibility and appearance, preventing cracks and extending the pavement’s lifespan. It also enhances the surface’s color and smoothness, giving it a fresh, black finish. Typically applied every 2–3 years, sealcoating is a cost-effective maintenance step that can greatly reduce long-term repair costs and keep driveways or parking lots looking new and performing at their best.
