What is Sealcoating?

Asphalt sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces, designed to shield them from damage caused by weather elements, oils, and UV exposure. This preventative maintenance service is essential for maintaining your asphalt driveway or parking lot, extending its lifespan, and enhancing its appearance. By choosing our professional sealcoating services in Middletown, DE, and beyond, you ensure that your asphalt remains resilient against wear and deterioration. Asphalt sealcoating is preventative maintenance at it's core.

Benefits of Asphalt Sealcoating

What Types of Asphalt Sealer are Available?

Sealcoating provides numerous advantages, making it a worthwhile investment for both residential and commercial properties

  • Gilsonite Sealers (Oil-Based):

    • Gilsonite is our sealant of choice due to its exceptional durability and longevity. This oil-based sealer provides superior protection against UV rays and water penetration, maintaining the deep black finish of your asphalt surfaces.

  • Coal Tar Sealers:

    • Known for their high level of protection, coal tar sealers are effective against water, oils, and UV rays, though they can raise environmental concerns.

  • Emulsion Sealers:

    • As a water-based sealing option, emulsion sealers are less toxic and easier to apply but typically have a shorter lifespan than oil-based alternatives.

  • Rubberized Sealers:

    • Incorporating rubber for greater flexibility, these sealers seal small cracks effectively and create a more robust surface.

The Sealcoating Process

Our professional asphalt sealcoating process ensures that you receive the highest quality service:

  1. Preparation:

    • Clean the asphalt surface thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and any existing coatings. This step ensures proper adhesion of the sealer.

  2. Repair:

    • Fill cracks and patch any damaged areas to create a smooth surface. This step is crucial for the longevity of the sealcoating.

  3. Application:

    • Apply the Gilsonite sealer using industry-leading techniques for an even application. This process typically requires specialized equipment for optimal results.

  4. Drying Time:

    • Allow adequate drying time, usually 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions. During this period, traffic should be kept off the surface to achieve the best results.
