Sealcoating

Sealcoating or pavement sealing is your very best way to prolong the life of your asphalt parking lot, asphalt sidewalk, and more!

WHAT IS SEALCOATING?

Sealcoating is the application of a specially-formulated liquid coating to asphalt pavement. As the liquid dries, it hardens to seal and creates a membrane. As a result, the new layer protects the pavement from water penetration, sun damage, gasoline, rock salt, oil, ice, and other chemicals that can degrade the surface over time.

Left unsealed, sunlight, wind, and water will gradually cause asphalt to harden and oxidize. Consequently, it becomes more brittle and cracking can occur. Over the space of a few years, asphalt paving can be seriously damaged if it is not periodically sealed. Therefore, to prevent the effects of weathering, seal coating is a seasonal rite for many businesses in and around Chicago. Regular pavement sealing prevents damage from freezing water as well as salts and road chemicals due to Chicago's cold climate.

Key Benefits of Sealcoating

Your parking lot is a capital investment and often the first impression of your business. Likewise, routine maintenance not only protects and extends the life of your pavement but keeps your property looking new! Sealing your asphalt preserves, protects, and restores your pavement.

Keeps your asphalt looking great for pennies a square foot.

Seal coating is a cost-effective way of repairing and restoring existing pavement, thus extending the life of the pavement.

It creates an attractive, “like new”, uniform coat over the pavement, especially if cracks and holes are properly filled before seal coating is applied.

Extends the life of the parking lot by preventing the asphalt from hardening and crumbling.

Protects the lot from salts, chemicals, and moisture from entering the pavement.
