Driveway Sealcoating
Maintaining your asphalt driveway in Rhode Island is crucial to ensure its longevity and keep it looking good. One of the best ways to protect your driveway from damage is through regularly scheduled sealcoating.
Sealcoating is the process of applying a protective layer on the surface of your driveway, usually made of asphalt or concrete, to shield it from harsh weather conditions, oil spills, and other harmful substances. In Rhode Island, Holscher Sealcoating is the highest and most-rated provider of driveway repair and sealcoating services.
The Many Benefits of Sealcoating Asphalt
Sealcoating offers several benefits, both aesthetically and functionally. Here are some of the reasons why you should schedule your driveway sealcoating:
Prolong the life of your driveway
Asphalt and concrete driveways are susceptible to cracking and deterioration over time, especially in harsh weather conditions like snow, rain, and extreme temperatures. We get all of these in Rhode Island. Sealcoating acts as a barrier that prevents water, snow, and other elements from penetrating the surface of your driveway, slowing down the aging process and keeping it in good condition for longer. The longer an asphalt driveway goes unsealed, the more damage is caused. Eventually more extensive asphalt repairs have to be done.
Enhance your homes curb appeal
Sealcoating gives your driveway a fresh, new look, making it more appealing and inviting. A well-maintained driveway is a reflection of a well-maintained home, and sealcoating can help boost your property value and create a positive first impression for visitors.
Protect against oil spills
Oil spills and drips on your driveway can cause significant damage and leave an unsightly stain that is difficult to remove. Sealcoating can help prevent oil from penetrating the surface of your driveway, making it much easier to clean off.
Prevent extensive asphalt repair
Asphalt driveway repair can be costly, especially if the damage is extensive. Sealcoating is a cost-effective way to prevent damage and prolong the life of your driveway. It’s much cheaper to sealcoat your driveway regularly than to repair or replace it entirely.
The Sealcoating Process Explained
At Holscher Sealcoating, we've perfected the sealcoating process to save time and money. Below, we explain how the process works and what homeowners should expect when they have their driveway sealcoated.
Driveway inspection
The sealcoating process starts with a thorough evaluation of your driveway to identify any existing damage or issues that need to be addressed before sealcoating. Sealcoating over damaged asphalt is a waste of money and a waste of time. Our goal is to make sure there are no cracks or areas where water can still seep into the asphalt after the sealcoating has been applied.
Pre-cleaning
After the inspection process, the entire surface is cleaned of dirt, debris, oil, and anything else that might prevent repairs and sealcoating from adhering properly to the surface. We pressure wash the surface and any cracks that exist to remove any loose dirt and debris within.
Asphalt repair
If any cracks or damages were discovered in the first step, it's important those are repaired prior to sealcoating. We utilize a variety of repair processes depending on the damage. Potholes, cracks, uneven asphalt and other damage is all treated and repaired differently.
Sealcoating applied
With the necessary repairs out of the way, it's time to apply the sealcoating. This is done using a sprayer. The surface of the asphalt is sprayed with an even coat of sealcoating solution that creates a waterproof "seal" that protects the asphalt underneath.
