Asphalt & Concrete Sealcoating
in the Atlanta Metro

What Does Sealcoating Do?

Sealcoating forms a waterproof barrier on asphalt or concrete surfaces, shielding them from water, weather fluctuations, oxidation, and other sources of damage. It’s a vital technique for property owners aiming to maximize pavement durability and appearance.

How Often Is Sealcoating Required?

The necessary frequency of sealcoating services varies based on three key factors:

The age and current condition of the pavement

The frequency of pavement use

Local climate and weather patterns

Reactive vs. Proactive Maintenance

Reactive Maintenance

Though effective, reactive maintenance pales in comparison to preventative maintenance. Here’s why:

Preventative Maintenance

Instead of reacting to issues, preventative maintenance aims to prevent them from occurring. Besides cost and time savings, here’s why property owners favor preventative maintenance over reactive approaches:

The Process

Sealcoating is a preventive maintenance technique that minimizes repair expenses and prolongs your pavement’s life. Here’s our standard approach for each sealcoat service:

Preparation

We start by clearing debris and thoroughly cleaning the surface to ensure proper adhesion of the sealcoat material. We also address any existing damage like cracks and potholes.

Edging and Taping

Areas not requiring sealcoating are carefully sealed off using tape or similar materials.

Sealcoat Application

Utilizing either a spray or squeegee system, we apply the sealcoat material, typically coal-tar or asphalt-based, tailored to the pavement’s type and size.

Coating Application

For optimal adhesion and a smooth finish, we apply a sealant layer atop the sealcoat material, with thickness ranging from 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch, adhering to manufacturer recommendations.

Drying and Curing

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

Striping and Marking

We apply fresh lane markings, parking lines, and other necessary delineations.
