Benefits of sealcoating your driveway

  • Expands your asphalt's life

Sealing your asphalt in Denver is important to extend your asphalts life. Sealing your asphalt protects it from the cold winters and hot summers.

  • Aesthetically pleasing

When your old asphalt is discolored and cracking you can cover it with a high quality black sealant leaving your asphalt looking good as new!

  • Slower water penetration

Not only is sealcoating aesthetically pleasing it is also a waterproofing agent. By sealing you prevent water to permeate more freely resulting in freeze/thaw expansion and contraction of the pavement.

  • Easier to clean and maintain

Sealcoating will fill surface voids while coating the pavement surface. This results in a smooth and even texture that makes the surface easier to maintain. For example, snow is easier to remove from a smooth surface, and sweeping is far more effective on a smooth surface.
