Why sealcoat an asphalt driveway?
Here in Michigan we are use to the harsh elements our asphalt properties can be exposed to. Oxidation from the sun, rain, snow and freeze and thaw cycles all play a large part in deteriorating our asphalt. All of these element changes effects the binders that hold your asphalt together. Eventually without sealcoating, an asphalt driveway will deteriorate until it completely fails. Sealcoating slows this process and extends the life of your driveway saving you thousands of dollars in repair cost down the line.
Most frequently asked questions:
What kinds of sealer do you use?
Pitch Black® Asphalt Emulsion is our product of choice. It’s asbestos-free, contains no carcinogenic materials and is non-flammable. Pitch Black® is environmentally friendly and is the perfect solution to any residential, commercial or industrial asphalt project. After curing for over 24 hours, you will have a thick black coat protecting the asphalt. Check out our photo gallery and see what your driveway or parking lot has the potential to look like!
How do apply the product?
Our Pitch Black product is hand applied. A method that is more labor intensive, but ensures equal coverage for reliable protection. The brush on application is the most effective process. Our crew will apply the product with professional sealer brooms that work the sealer into every hair line crack, and be spread evenly across the surface.
Will you repair the existing cracks before applying sealer?
It is very important to repair the large existing cracks before you sealcoat. Open cracks leave room for water, oil and other common chemicals to seep in and further break apart the binders that hold your asphalt together. We use a hot commercial-grade crackfiller to seal off cracks to prevent continuing erosion.
When can you start the job?
We know here in Michigan we can experience all 4 seasons in one day. The weather is the biggest factor in when we can complete the job. We will complete the job when there is no threat of rain for 24 hours. This ensures that the product will have ample time to completely cure and give you the best outcome.
How long do I have to stay off the driveway?
Once the job is completed, we recommend you stay off of the driveway for 24 hours.
