Sealcoating

Protect and preserve your asphalt investment with professional sealcoating

WHAT IS ASPHALT SEALCOATING?

Sealcoating is a protective treatment applied to asphalt pavement to shield it from the damaging effects of water, UV rays, and chemical exposure. The sealant forms a protective barrier on the surface of your asphalt, preventing water from seeping into cracks and causing damage to the underlying layers.

Think of sealcoating as sunscreen for your pavement. Just as sunscreen protects your skin from UV damage, sealcoating protects your asphalt from environmental damage. A professional sealcoating application also enhances the appearance of your pavement, giving it a rich, dark finish that looks like new.

At A.C Fox Paving, we apply high-quality sealcoating using proven methods and premium materials. Our experienced technicians ensure even coverage and proper application, maximizing the protection and aesthetic benefits for your pavement.

What Are the Benefits of Sealcoating?

Water Protection

Sealcoating prevents water from penetrating the asphalt surface and reaching the base layers. This is crucial because water damage is the leading cause of asphalt deterioration. By keeping water out, sealcoating significantly extends the life of your pavement.

UV Protection

The sun's UV rays break down the asphalt binder, causing the pavement to become brittle and crack. Sealcoating contains UV-blocking agents that shield your asphalt from these harmful rays, maintaining its flexibility and integrity.

Prevents Oxidation

Over time, asphalt oxidizes when exposed to air and sunlight, causing it to become gray and brittle. Sealcoating prevents this oxidation, keeping your pavement dark and flexible longer.

Chemical Resistance

Sealcoating protects your pavement from damage caused by oil spills, gasoline, salt, and other chemicals. This is especially important for parking lots and commercial properties.

Enhanced Appearance

A fresh sealcoat gives your pavement a rich, dark appearance that looks like new. This significantly improves curb appeal and can increase your property's value.

Cost Savings

Regular sealcoating is a cost-effective preventative maintenance measure. By protecting your pavement, sealcoating helps you avoid expensive repairs and premature repaving, saving you money in the long run.

Extended Pavement Life

Proper sealcoating can extend the life of your asphalt by several years. Research shows that sealed pavement lasts 50% longer than unsealed pavement when properly maintained.

Spare Yourself Frustration While Saving Money

Many property owners put off sealcoating, thinking it's an unnecessary expense. However, this approach often leads to much greater costs down the road. Without sealcoating protection, your asphalt is vulnerable to rapid deterioration.

Here's what happens when you skip sealcoating: Water seeps into small cracks, freezes during winter, expands, and causes the cracks to grow larger. These larger cracks allow more water infiltration, which weakens the base layers. The pavement then develops potholes and significant damage that requires expensive patching or complete repaving.

By investing in regular sealcoating every 2-3 years, you prevent this cycle of damage. Your pavement stays protected, maintains its appearance, and lasts much longer. The small investment in sealcoating today saves you thousands of dollars in costly repairs tomorrow.

A.C Fox Paving recommends sealcoating your asphalt every 2-3 years as part of a comprehensive maintenance plan. We'll help you develop a schedule that keeps your pavement in excellent condition while fitting your budget.
