Many seal coating products are formulated to be environmentally friendly, using water-based or low-VOC (volatile organic compound) formulations. Additionally, by prolonging the life of the asphalt surfaces, seal coating helps to reduce the need for asphalt replacement, which can have environmental benefits. Be sure to ask us about eco-friendly options.
Seal coating is primarily a preventive maintenance measure and is not designed to fill existing cracks or potholes. We can give out a price to repair and level the surface if necessary, before seal coating begins. However, some minor surface irregularities may be filled and smoothed out to some extent during the seal coating process.
The drying time for seal coating can vary depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the type of sealant used. Generally, it takes 24-48 hours for the seal coating to dry completely, but it’s best to avoid foot or vehicle traffic during this time.
While there are DIY seal coating kits available, hiring a professional seal coating contractor ensures proper application and better results. We have the expertise, equipment and quality materials necessary to effectively seal coat your asphalt surfaces.
