Sealcoating Asphalt Surfaces: The Process

The process of sealcoating an asphalt driveway or parking lot is not exactly complicated, if you have the right tools and know what you’re doing. Still, it’s a labor intensive process and not well suited for weekend DIY handymen. Good thing you found us. We are DuraSeal Asphalt Sealing & Line Striping and we do wonderful things with asphalt surfaces in and around the New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania region.

First, we’ll provide a free cost estimate. If you choose to hire DuraSeal for the job, we’ll be there on time and fully ready to prepare and sealcoat your asphalt. Experts recommend biennial (every other year) resealing for protection and beautification. Some customers of DuraSeal Asphalt Sealing & Line Striping prefer to have their driveways and parking lots sealcoated every year.

When we do asphalt resealing, we follow a logical plan. Before any resealing can happen, the area to be sealed must be emptied of vehicles and blocked to incoming traffic. All proximal sprinkler systems must be shut completely off. A surprise sprinkler shower does nothing good for the sealcoating process, so be sure timers are set to the off position. Once the area is empty of cars and there’s no chance an automated sprinkling system will come on, the asphalt surface will be cleared of litter and debris. Brushes, brooms and powered blowers are right for this task. It’s best to apply sealant to a dry surface, so water cleaning is not recommended.

Once the surface to be resealed is clean, patching will proceed. As with house painting, preparation is imperative to a good job. We will fill cracks, patch holes and correct any defects in the asphalt surface. Oil stains will be covered with a special primer to ensure proper adhesion of the sealcoat. Once the surface is prepared, resealing can commence. After the sealant coats are dried, traffic lines can be reapplied.

Save Your Company Money With Periodic Sealcoating and Maintenance

Sealcoating is the most effective means of protecting and extending the life of your pavement before it will need to be repaved. It has been estimated that a company can save over $100,000 over a 15 year period by implementing a consistent sealcoating and pavement maintenance program (on a 30,000 square foot parking lot). Without proper maintenance even a perfectly paved parking lot will only last between 10 and 15 years. Property owners who do not invest in sealcoating will have to take on the cost of having the parking lot paved once deterioration causes potholes, cracks and other serious problems. The costs of paving the entire lot every 10 to 15 years is significantly greater than the cost of have it sealed every 3 to 5.

What Sealcoating Does To Protect Your Parking Lot

Sealer is an asphalt or coal tar emulsion blended with additives, water and sand to provide protection against the elements and regular wear. The blend is placed on top of the asphalt to create a barrier. Like with any sealant, asphalt sealer protects the pavement from the suns harmful UV rays that would dry it out and cause it to lose its flexibility. Once this occurs cracks begin to occur and allow water to wreak havoc on the pavement’s base layers. When this is allowed to happen, costly repairs are the only way to effectively restore your pavement investment.

Sealcoating To Save Money

Sealcoating can greatly extend the life of a paved parking lot – even as much as double. Sealer is most effective when it is applied every three to five years (depending on traffic and other factors), but the costs of ongoing maintenance are much less than the costs of replacing the asphalt. It is estimated that sealcoating cuts down on the cost of maintaining a parking lot by as much as 65 percent. Sealcoating even keeps a parking lot looking fresh to give customers a positive first impression.

How Much Will It Cost To Sealcoat My Parking Lot?

How Much Does Sealcoating Cost?Sealcoating your asphalt is an essential part of your parking lot maintenance. Not only does it help to protect your parking lot from sun damage, gas and oil spills and more, but it can also provide you with a fresh, almost-new look for much less than it would cost to have your parking lot completely repaved. Although you might realize that this service is an essential, however, you could be wondering how much it will cost.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to get an accurate estimate of the cost of sealcoating without speaking to a professional about it. A lot of different factors go into determining the cost; obviously, it will cost more to have a larger parking area sealcoated than to have a smaller area done, and the current condition of your asphalt also makes a difference. If your parking lot will need significant repairs prior to sealcoating, your price will be a bit higher than someone whose parking lot is already in good condition.

Supply costs also vary, and parking lots that are subject to heavy usage require sealcoating of a higher grade than those that aren’t used as often. As you can see, it is difficult to get an idea of a price without adding all of these factors into the equation.

Regardless of how much the job will cost, however, you are sure to find it to be worthwhile. By having your parking lot sealcoated, you can cut down on costly repairs and enjoy a fresh, beautiful parking lot that is sure to impress your clientele. You can also protect your parking lot and keep it looking nice and almost-new a lot longer by having this essential service done.

Asphalt Sealing Can Save You Money

Many property owners are not aware of the damaging effects the sun has on their asphalt parking lot or drive. For that reason, they will often leave the pavement for many years without simple, inexpensive maintenance that can save them many thousands of dollars in costly repairs.

When properly maintained through regular asphalt sealing and other maintenance techniques, and asphalt pavement should last 20-25 years with very little repair. Without maintenance parking lots and other high traffic pavements can begin to fail within the first 10 years.

Without asphalt sealing the sun’s effects on pavement causes it to become dry and brittle. As asphalt loses its flexibility it begins to crack when normally it would contract and expand with the seasons. Once this happens water penetrates the surface and begins to cause damage to the pavement structure. This requires costly asphalt repair.

Don’t let the effects of the sun ruin your asphalt pavement when simple maintenance such as asphalt sealing can protect it and maximize your investment.
