You must take necessary precautions when requesting fleet vehicle restoration or auto paint stripping with our mobile blasting machine. We strongly recommend masking off the glass and chrome to protect them from the abrasives.
Seal Coating FAQS
How can I restore my parking lot if it’s faded?
Asphalt is a durable surface but often comes into contact with different environmental factors. The sun constantly shines on it, while extreme temperature changes cause it to expand and contract. Additionally, it is consistently subjected to heavy loads from vehicles and softened by chemicals, gas, and oil.
Furthermore, precipitation carries acids that penetrate and harm the surface. Prolonged usage or exposure to an item can lead to its gradual discoloration and eventual breakage or cracking. Fortunately, our paving contractors can restore your parking lot or provide driveway restoration through seal coating in just a few hours.
What is Seal Coating?
If you live or work, it’s important to make a wise choice to protect your driveway or parking lot. One effective way to do this is by getting seal coating. By applying a coal tar emulsion to your asphalt surfaces, you can create a protective layer that will keep them in good condition for a long time. Our paving contractors utilize advanced machinery to protect your surfaces from damage, renewing their appearance and making them look brand new. They are highly skilled in their craft.
Should I seal coat my driveway or parking lot?
Our expert paving contractors confidently provide top-notch seal coating services for your fully cured asphalt surface, ensuring its long-lasting protection against deterioration and fading.
What are the benefits of seal coating?
Here are just a few of the reasons seal coating is a smart choice:
- Seal coating prolongs your pavement’s life expectancy by blocking UV rays, vehicle fluids, and precipitation.
- Properly maintained parking lots and driveways have lower long-term repair needs. Seal coating saves you money over parking lot repair.
- Fresh seal coating enhances asphalt’s appearance, improving your curb appeal.
What happens if I don’t treat parking lot damage?
Parking lots left untreated start to crack. Soon, a damaging cycle begins:
- Moisture seeps into tiny cracks.
- During cold weather, ice can form and expand existing cracks in your asphalt. Similarly, in hot weather, water vapor from evaporation can also have a damaging effect on your asphalt.
- More water gets into larger cracks.
- Big cracks become potholes.
- The services of crack filling, crack sealing, and pothole repair come at a higher cost.
How do I find the best seal coating contractor?
If you want a reliable and effective solution for asphalt repair or parking lot restoration, seal coating is the way to go. It is essential to enlist the services of a proficient paving contractor who has the required expertise to guarantee that the seal coating procedure is carried out flawlessly. The best time to do so is when the pavement and outdoor temperatures are within a specific range.
Proper surface preparation is essential to achieve long-lasting results; this involves removing dirt, debris, and vehicle fluids. Please note that seal coating is not a solution for most cracks or damaged areas; our paving contractors can assist with minor repairs, such as filling in potholes and cracks, before applying seal coating to your business or residence.
