Shield Your Asphalt: What is Sealcoating and Why Choose R&R Paving?

At R&R Paving, we know your asphalt surfaces are an investment. They take a beating from the Texas sun, rain, and constant use. That’s why regular sealcoating is essential to protect your driveway, parking lot, or other paved areas.

What is Sealcoating?

Think of sealcoating like sunscreen for your asphalt. It’s a liquid application that forms a protective barrier on the surface. Sealcoating typically contains asphalt emulsions, acrylics, or coal tar, along with sand and other additives.

Benefits of Sealcoating:

  • Protects from the Elements: Sealcoating shields your asphalt from sun damage, which can cause cracks and brittleness. It also repels water, preventing water infiltration that can lead to potholes and heaving.
  • Extends Asphalt Life: Regular sealcoating can significantly extend the lifespan of your asphalt surface, saving you money on costly repairs and replacements down the road.
  • Enhances Curb Appeal: A freshly sealed surface has a richer black color and a smoother texture, giving your home or business a more polished look.

How is Sealcoating Applied?

Sealcoating is a multi-step process:

  1. Cleaning: The surface is thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, oil, and loose debris that can prevent the sealer from adhering properly.
  2. Crack Repair: Any existing cracks are repaired to prevent water infiltration and further damage.
  3. Sealcoating Application: The sealer is then uniformly applied using a sprayer or squeegee.
  4. Sanding (Optional): In some cases, a fine sand may be applied to the wet sealer to enhance traction.
  5. Curing: The sealer needs time to cure properly, so it’s important to avoid using the paved area for at least 24 hours.
