What is Sealcoating & Why Should You Do It?

Seal coating is a preventative maintenance service that protects your asphalt and prevents cracks, chips, and fading. Whether you’re looking for a way to protect your home driveway or invest in your commercial parking lot, find out more about sealcoating and why you should schedule this service from One Stop Asphalt in Phoenix and the surrounding area.

Sealcoating

Asphalt in Arizona is subjected to extreme weather conditions. Intense heat, long UV ray exposure, and heavy rains can all cause asphalt to become deformed, cracked and faded. Instead of paying for a patch or complete resealing services, a sealcoat is an affordable alternative for your commercial or residential asphalt area.

The process involves carefully and consistently spreading a thin layer of material over the top of your asphalt parking lot or driveway. The exact formula and method can vary depending on your location, the type of use, and the current state of your asphalt.

Once our team determines the best way to seal your area, we apply one or more coats of specialized sealcoating. This process is far more fast and affordable than repair options. Learn more about the benefits of this budget-friendly service.

Why You Should Sealcoat Your Asphalt

A seal coat limits the effects of oxidation. This offers protection against rain, oil, diesel fuel, and other liquids that typically erode and stain your asphalt. It’s essential to have this layer of protection applied before you see signs of damage to your asphalt, so work with us to schedule an inspection before your parking area starts to crack, erode or form potholes.

Sealcoating offers a smooth, brilliantly black surface for your asphalt. Few things boost your curb appeal like a beautifully maintained parking area. If your asphalt has turned a dull gray but otherwise isn’t severely damaged, a sealcoat can restore that like-new surface. Line striping adds the finishing touches for a truly professional look.

You may not realize how fragile your parking lot is. After long-term exposure to heavy traffic and the hot sun in Arizona, deep cracks can begin to form in your parking area or driveway. Once these cracks reach the foundation of your asphalt, you’ll need serious repairs or an asphalt paving service to replace your existing slab completely.

Finally, this service is an excellent long-term investment in your parking lot. All parking lots need maintenance over time, but sealcoating significantly increases the time before patching and replacement services. These more costly services will need to be performed eventually. An affordable sealcoat increases the time between maintenance services to save you a considerable amount in the long-term maintenance of your asphalt.

This is only one asphalt maintenance service available from our qualified team. At One Stop Asphalt, we offer affordable, full-service solutions for any asphalt project. From the first pour to the last sealcoat, we’re your one-stop solution for a smooth, reliable parking area or walkway.
