What is asphalt sealcoating?
Sealcoating is a protective layer applied over cured asphalt. It fills surface voids, seals hairline cracks and shields the binder from oxidation and moisture. It is maintenance, not resurfacing — done on the right cycle it keeps you from needing the far more expensive resurface for many extra years.
Coal tar vs asphalt emulsion sealer
We use commercial-grade sealers suited to Michigan conditions and your specific surface. On site we explain the options, coverage and cure characteristics so you know exactly what is going down and why.
Signs your asphalt needs sealcoating
Fading from black to grey, surface roughness, small spider cracks, water soaking in rather than beading, and raveling at the edges. Any of these mean the surface has lost its protection and is a candidate for sealcoating before the damage reaches the base.
Frequently asked questions
How long does asphalt sealcoating last?
A quality application typically holds up two to three years in Metro Detroit before it is due again, depending on traffic and exposure.
Does sealcoating fix cracks?
Sealcoating seals fine surface cracks, but wider cracks are filled first as a separate step so water cannot reach the base. We handle both in the right order.
