How Much Does Asphalt Seal Coating Cost?

Seal coating your asphalt can seem like a costly venture, but you want to be sure that you are making the right decision for your situation. Keep in mind. The costs will always vary based on several factors. It’d be irresponsible to give you a price before really knowing your situation. As such, it helps to ensure you have a professional come out to your property to provide you with an estimate so that you know how much you can expect to pay. 

Here are some of the factors that can impact your expected costs: 

• The quality of the material. You want to be sure that what you’re using for seal coating will last for years to come. Because of this, you never want to buy something that won’t be worth the costs. You want to ensure you get the best products for your property.
• The size of your property. The bigger your property is, the more seal coating you will require. As such, you have to pay more to cover the entire property and keep every inch of asphalt safe from potential damage. 

Speak with an expert about your options. You can get a consultation to determine how much the job may cost so that you can prepare accordingly. 

How Long Does Asphalt Seal Coat Last?

One of the most important things to remember about asphalt seal coating is the fact that it goes over your asphalt to take the brunt of the damage. It protects your asphalt from getting messed up, so it is going to take a lot more damage. The seal coating takes more of the damage as a result, so it doesn’t have the same life expectancy as the asphalt itself. Instead, your seal coating can last a few years, depending on the condition of your asphalt, to begin with.

If you have asphalt in good shape, you can expect your seal coating to last a few years. However, if your asphalt is already breaking down when you decide to apply seal coating, you may need to reapply it more often. Be sure to ask a professional about maintenance tips so that you never get caught off guard by potential problems.

Is It Necessary to Seal Coat My Asphalt?

As with any home or business property maintenance, it is not really necessary to get seal coating. If you don’t want it, you don’t necessarily have to apply it to your asphalt. However, you must keep in mind the benefits, but more importantly, remember the troubles that can arise if you decide not to get asphalt seal coating. You may have your asphalt break down because it is exposed to the elements. So, while it’s not absolutely necessary to seal coat your asphalt, it is highly recommended to ensure longevity and protection from the sun, rain, and more. 

We highly recommend seal coating, especially if you have a property where you have several visitors — such as a business. Business owners with large parking lots should absolutely consider seal coating because there’s significant wear and tear that can arise involving your asphalt. Instead, make sure you get the coating to protect your property.

Is Asphalt Seal Coating Worth It?

Keep in mind, a service being worth it is completely dependent on you and your feelings. If you feel it is worth it, then it is. However, we like to think that asphalt seal coating is absolutely worth it for a number of different reasons. Here are some of the reasons we believe you should consider asphalt seal coating. 

• Cost savings: When you consider it, spending money on asphalt seal coating can save you a significant amount of money over time. You pay for the seal coating service instead of having to pay for constant repairs to your worn asphalt. 
• Appearance: If you own a property where you have several visitors, you want to make a good impression. Asphalt can wear and fade over time, sometimes posing more than just a bad appearance. It can potentially damage vehicles as well. Asphalt seal coating can create a beautiful, like-new appearance for years to come. 

If you think that asphalt seal coating would be worth it, be sure to speak with our experts to get an estimate regarding how much it should cost. We’ll be there to give you the information you need.

How Do I Maintain My Asphalt Seal Coating?

Maintenance is usually required for your asphalt seal coating, both immediately after the coating has been freshly applied and as the months go by. Once the seal coating has been applied, you want to make sure you clean any possible stains immediately. As cars and trucks drive on the coating, they may leak fluids, pols, and more. All of these can potentially damage the seal coating as well as your asphalt. Once you notice the stain, be sure to clean it and get it off the coating as quickly as possible to avoid potential damage. 

As a maintenance tip, we advise you to spray down the asphalt on a monthly basis. Over time, you will start to notice dirt, dust, debris, and other elements building up on your seal coating. Spraying it down not only protects the seal and the asphalt but also maintains that clean and like-new appearance. You may consider light pressure washing to get the best results. Don’t turn it up high, though, because you can cause damage when you do.
