Is Seal Coating Right for You?
The short answer is, yes. Virtually all pavements will benefit significantly from having seal coating applied within the first year of being newly installed and every 2 to 4 years after. Without this maintenance, every year the cost of repairs will escalate, costing you more money in the long term than the relatively inexpensive seal coating.
The Benefits of Regular Sealcoating
Whether you have a small driveway or a large parking lot, your pavement is a significant investment. Having seal coating applied to your asphalt surface goes a long way in protecting that investment by extending your pavement’s life. Regular seal coating will combat the detrimental effects of oil and gasoline, aging, UV damage, and water.
What is Sealcoating?
An asphalt seal coat is a protective coating applied to an asphalt surface. It creates a protective layer that slows down wearing, preventing water and other liquids from reaching the lower layers, as well as protecting the pavement from being damaged by sunlight. Sealcoating is a vital part of maintaining a healthy and great looking parking lot or driveway. However, it wears out in a short time. It is essential to have a fresh seal coat applied every 2 to 4 years to prevent degradation which can lead to costly repairs in the long term.
Slowing Oxidation
From the minute your pavement sets, it starts to degrade from exposure to air and sunlight. Anything you can do to slow this process down will extend the life of the pavement. So while some oxidation is necessary, you need to sealcoat your pavement before it goes too far.
Eventually, your pavement will become brittle and begin to crack. Sealcoating needs to be applied before the asphalt reaches this stage.
Improved Appearance
As a part of a comprehensive maintenance plan including crack filling and patching, sealcoating will help your parking lot or driveway maintain a like-new aesthetic. An appealing parking lot or driveway does wonders for improving the curb appeal of your home or business. It will contribute to keeping a darker color that will make your striping, curbing, and landscaping stand out in your neighborhood. Having pavement that looks good will make your home or business more appealing, increasing its overall value.
Driveway Sealcoating
Why should you seal your driveway? Asphalt pavements have a “service life,” meaning the condition and life expectancy tends to depend on the level of traffic incurred by the pavement, along with the weather conditions it’s exposed to each year.
Preventive maintenance like sealcoating helps prolong the life of your pavement. Also, it saves you money in entirely preventable repairs down the road. Sealing pavement helps close small cracks, which would over time turn in to large fissures and cause water to seep down into the base material.
Also, the dark black color of the newly applied seal coat will help to improve the appearance of both old and new asphalt. New sealcoating will also help to preserve the resilience of asphalt surfaces and hide small cracks, rough spots, and patches. It also makes your lot’s line striping more visible.

Sealcoating F.A.Q.
Q) Why should I restripe my parking lot
Q) How frequently should I restripe my driveways and parking lots?
Q) Do I have to prepare the site before Limitless Paving & Concrete begins restriping it?
Q) I have design in mind. Can you provide custom line striping?
Q) Are you insured?
Q) How much notice do you generally ask for?
Q) Why should I restripe my parking lot
A) Everyone wants a long lasting, beautiful looking asphalt pavement! You’ll need an effective sealant to ensure a gorgeous finish on your sidewalk or driveway. The sealer sits on top of a road and acts as the barrier that prevents car fluids, water, ice, salt, and other chemicals from damaging the surface. Why is it crucial to seal an asphalt driveway, you may ask? When water seeps into the subgrade (the base), its compromises the strength of the material. As a result, dangerous potholes can form. Also, water trapped in the cracks can freeze in the winter months and cause additional damage when it thaws. Even if you live in warmer climates, grass can grow through the cracks in the road further deteriorate it. Finally, sealing asphalt prevents damage from UV light and gas spills. Depending on your location, the frequency of applying driveway seals may differ. If you live in a cold climate, ideally you’ll want to reseal about every two years.
Q) How frequently should I restripe my driveways and parking lots?
A) Ideally, you should wait no more than 3-4 years from the time of installation before having your driveway seal coated. However, depending on the extent of wear and tears, you may have to do it sooner than that. After the first seal coating, we recommend that you repeat the process once every two to three years.
Q) Do I have to prepare the site before Limitless Paving & Concrete begins restriping it?
A) You should avoid sealcoating too frequently as it may lead to the accumulation of excess material, causing poor surface appearance.
Q) I have design in mind. Can you provide custom line striping?
A) In short, no! Extreme weather conditions often cause asphalt to dry out which then results in a brittle and degrading surface that needs to be replaced. With good quality sealants, the asphalt underneath remains protected from excess heat, cold, rain, salt and other factors. Moreover, new asphalt is generally rich in glues and oils and therefore, can provide a smoother surface with more flexibility for ground shifting.
Q) Are you insured?
A) Ideally, you should let the coat settle for 24 hours once it is applied. You do not have to worry about it, though. We will make sure to block the driveway off for you.
Q) How much notice do you generally ask for?
A) It would be impossible to determine set costs since materials and the size of every project may vary. In truth, hiring a quality contractor will cost around $50 to $100 more per 1000 square feet than doing a job yourself. In 2013, the average price for a seal coat job was $385. However, hiring contractors have one significant advantage: they will do it right the first time. Professionals will know what materials to use, which sealers to avoid, and how often your driveway or parking lot will need to be sealed. If you do the job yourself, you will save some money. But, if you hire professionals, benefits will outweigh your savings by far. Still, be aware of any hidden costs. Give us a call and even provide a free estimate. Sources:
