Sealcoat is a black liquid material comprised of water, sand, clays, polymers, and durability additives. Sealcoat is designed to protect and prolong the life of your asphalt by 'sealing' it from outside elements such as tire abrasion, sun bleaching, oil and gas.

The two bases of sealcoat are coal tar and asphalt emulsion. Application methods include spray and broom/squeegee. Our sealcoat mixing and application procedures align with Federal Specifications which meet if not exceed the material manufacturer's recommendations.

Our project managers will do a thorough site walkthrough prior to your project in an effort to advise on best course of action and to catch any potential issues.

Just prior to sealcoat is a great time to have areas of deteriorated asphalt repaired. Options include saw-cut repair, flush repair and infrared repair.

Saw-cut repairs are by far the most common approach. Saw-cut repairs are completed by using an asphalt/concrete saw to cutting damaged areas. These debris in these areas is then removed, the edges 'tacked', and installing hot mix asphalt with tamper. A patchwork cut is generally made 6"-1' outside of the immediate damage to help ensure edge structure.

Flush repairs are the most budget friendly approach to asphalt repair. Unlike a saw-cut repair, these areas are patched without removing the damaged area. Rather, removing loose material and fill with hot mix. Flush repairs are quick and cheap but are likely to deteriorate faster without an flush edge to adhere to.

Infared repairs are somewhat uncommon but provide a minimally invasive option similar to flush repairs with the benefit of a stronger bond. Damaged areas are heated to high temperatures and hot-mix asphalt is added and tamped. The heated pre-existing surface bonds stronger with fresh asphalt with heat.
