Save Money with Sealcoating

As customers arrive at your business, they only need a few seconds to form a first impression. Curb appeal matters! One of the first places that your customers will notice is the very road they drive in on and the parking lot that they enter. Sealcoating is a great option for improving curb appeal as well as lengthening the life of your parking lot. Read a little bit more about why investing in sealcoating is right for your property.

Sealcoating Resists Oxidation

The sun can seriously damage asphalt. Asphalt has oils that keep it flexible and the hot sun can dry out those oils and bake the asphalt, so to speak. When it dries out, you are more likely to see cracked or crumbly asphalt. Sealcoating prevents the evaporation of oils.

Sealcoating Resists Chemicals

Cars can leak a number of different chemicals onto the asphalt. Oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, and gas are only a few chemicals that may seep into your asphalt. Some of these substances can damage the asphalt severely. Sealcoating provides a barrier that minimizes damages from chemicals.

Sealcoating Resists Water

While asphalt is durable and can last a long time, water is one of its biggest enemies. When water gets inside the asphalt, it can speed up the deterioration of your parking lot. Then, when you enter freezing temperatures, the water expands and continues to crack the concrete. By sealcoating your lot, you can prevent water from seeping into the cracks to begin with.

The benefits of sealcoating will prevent you from replacing the asphalt and increase its lifespan. Likewise, it will keep your parking lot looking professional and appealing.
