What Is Sealcoating?

Sealcoating is a method of protecting asphalt surfaces from damage due to water, weather, oxidation, and natural wear and tear. This process is done by creating a waterproof seal over an asphalt or concrete surface, giving property owners beautiful, long-lasting pavement.

Prepare
