Contact and Booking
The process starts when you request a free estimate. We’ll then schedule an on-site visit at a time that’s convenient for you to assess your asphalt surfaces and discuss your specific needs.
Inspection and Evaluation
One of our experienced team members will arrive at your property to evaluate the current condition of your asphalt. We’ll check for cracks, wear, stains, and any other issues that may need to be addressed before sealing.
Recommendation
After the inspection, we’ll provide tailored recommendations for the best sealing products suited to your needs. Options may include coal tar-based, asphalt-based, or acrylic sealants, depending on your goals—whether that’s improving durability, adding skid resistance, or enhancing the surface’s appearance.
Estimate and Approval
After evaluating the surface and discussing your needs, we’ll provide a detailed estimate that outlines the cost and timelines. Once you approve, we’ll schedule the work.
Surface Preparation
Cleaning
Proper surface preparation is essential for successful asphalt sealing. This involves thoroughly cleaning the asphalt to remove dirt, debris, and stains. The process typically includes:
- Sweeping: Removing loose debris like leaves, gravel, and dust.
- Pressure Washing (if needed): Cleaning surface grime, oil, and stains for better adhesion.
- Degreasing: Using specialized cleaning agents to treat oil or chemical stains.
- Blowing: Using a leaf blower to ensure the surface is entirely clear and dry.
Crack and Damage Repair
Visible cracks, potholes, or damage are repaired using professional-grade materials before sealing:
- Crack Filler: Applied to seal any cracks and prevent further water infiltration.
- Asphalt Patch: Used to fill potholes or larger areas of damage, ensuring the surface is uniform.
Application of the Sealant
Masking and Protection
Care is taken to protect the surrounding areas, including driveways, curbs, walls, or landscaping, by masking them off to avoid accidental overspray or spreading sealant beyond the intended area.
Sealant Application
The asphalt sealant is applied in thin, even coats across the surface:
- Equipment: Depending on the project, tools like squeegees, brushes, or sprayers are used for application.
- First Coat: Ensures an even and thorough base layer for protection.
Curing and Drying
Curing Time
Once applied, the sealant needs time to cure properly. This ensures a durable and long-lasting protective layer.
Traffic Restrictions
During the curing period, we recommend keeping foot traffic off the surface for at least 24 hours, and vehicle traffic off for 48 to 72 hours to prevent damage.
Final Inspection and Approval
Customer Walkthrough
Once the sealing is complete and the surface has cured, we will schedule a final walkthrough with you to inspect the work. During this walkthrough, we’ll show you the results and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Touch-Ups (if necessary)
If there are any areas that need attention, we’ll address them immediately, ensuring that the surface is flawless before you begin using it again.
Final Approval
Once you’re satisfied with the finished product, we’ll ask for your final approval and provide care instructions for maintaining your newly sealed asphalt surface.
Ongoing Care and Maintenance Tips
Regular Cleaning
To keep your asphalt looking its best, avoid using harsh chemicals or power washing at high pressure, as these can degrade the sealant over time.
Resealing
Depending on traffic and exposure to elements, we suggest resealing your asphalt every 2 to 3 years to maintain maximum protection and appearance.
Seasonal Maintenance
In colder climates, avoid using de-icing salts, as they can penetrate cracks and damage the asphalt and sealant layer. Alternatively, use sand or gravel for traction during icy conditions. Keep surface clear of snow and ice promptly to prevent freeze-thaw cycles that can lead to cracking
