Sealcoating is a process that applies a protective layer over asphalt or concrete surfaces to prevent damage from water, oxidation, and environmental factors.

How often should sealcoating be applied?

Sealcoating should be applied every 2 to 3 years, depending on the pavement’s condition, level of usage, and local climate.

What is the difference between reactive and preventative maintenance?

Reactive maintenance addresses issues after they arise, while preventative maintenance—including sealcoating—prevents pavement deterioration before it happens.

How long does sealcoating take to cure?

Sealcoating typically requires 12 to 36 hours to fully dry and cure before the pavement is ready for use.

Why should I sealcoat my pavement?

Sealcoating extends the life of your pavement, enhances its appearance, prevents damage from moisture, and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

What Is Sealcoating?

Sealcoating creates a waterproof seal over an asphalt or concrete surface, protecting it from damage caused by water, climate conditions, oxidation, and more. Sealcoating is a valuable tool that helps property owners achieve optimal pavement longevity and aesthetics. If you want your paved surfaces in Princeton, Toms River, Manchester, Hamilton, or the rest of New Jersey to look better and last longer, don’t hesitate to reach out.

How Frequently Is Sealcoating Required?

The recommended frequency of sealcoating services depends on three factors:

The pavement’s age and condition

How often the pavement is used

Local climate and weather conditions

Reactive vs. Proactive Maintenance

Reactive Pavement Maintenance

While still effective, reactive maintenance is inferior to preventative maintenance. Here’s why:

Preventative Pavement Maintenance

Rather than responding to a problem once it has already occurred, preventative maintenance keeps problems from occurring at all. In addition to saving time and money, here’s why property owners prefer preventative maintenance over reactive maintenance:

The Sealcoating Process

Sealcoating is a type of preventative maintenance that reduces repairs and replacement costs and maximizes your pavement’s lifespan. These are the steps we follow for every sealcoating service.

Prepare Pavement

We remove any debris or other obstructions from the surface and clean it to make sure the sealcoat material applies correctly. We also repair any damaged areas, such as cracks and potholes.

Edge and Tape

We seal off any areas that don’t need sealcoat treatment using tape or other materials.

Apply the Sealcoat

We apply the sealcoat material, which is often coal-tar-based or asphalt-based. Depending on the type and size of your pavement, we’ll either apply the sealcoat using a spray or squeegee system.

Coat Application

We apply a sealant layer on top of the sealcoat material to ensure proper adhesion and create a smooth surface. Depending on the manufacturer’s recommendation, we’ll apply a layer that’s anywhere between 1/16 and 1/8 of an inch thick.

Dry and Cure

We let the sealcoat dry and cure for 12 to 36 hours.

Pavement Striping and Markings

We apply new lane markings, parking lines, and more once the curing period is over.
