Boost Curb Appeal with a Fresh Sealcoat Finish
Residential driveway sealcoatings provide protection and enhance the appearance of asphalt surfaces. Proper sealing can extend the lifespan of a driveway by preventing damage from water, UV rays, and daily wear. Regular maintenance ensures a durable and attractive driveway for years to come.
Sealcoating protects asphalt from water penetration, UV damage, and oil spills. It also improves curb appeal and can increase property value.
Various sealants are available, including coal tar-based and asphalt emulsion options, each offering different levels of protection and appearance.
The process involves cleaning the driveway, applying the sealant evenly, and allowing it to cure. Proper preparation ensures optimal results.
Sealing is best done during mild weather conditions. Late spring and early fall are popular times, but late November and early December can also be suitable for holiday promotions.
