WHY SEALCOAT ? 
Sealcoating will protect your pavement investment by providing a tough shield that locks out destructive elements and seals in the tars in the asphalt, keeping it resilient and durable.
Asphalt pavement unsealed acts like a sponge, it will absorb water, oil and chemicals that eat away the surface and sub base. If water continually allowed to penetrate the surface, the affect of the freeze / thaw will destroy asphalt in a short amount of time. The suns ultraviolet rays dry out the binding agents in the pavement accelerating cracking and erosion.
Your driveway / parking lot are outside exposed to the elements, we paint metal so it won't rust , we paint / stain wood wood so it doesn't rot. Sealcoating protects asphalt with a tough flexable membrane that prolongs the life of the paved surface. This will reduce the cost of expensive repairs down the road.
Sealcoating fills surface voids, this makes the surface easier to clean and remove snow and ice from. A fresh sealcoat adds a rich dark color to the pavement that presents a positive image of the company or private residence. A sealcoat can be applied to pavement surfaces for pennies per square foot. This is in comparison to replacing an asphalt surface which can be twenty times that. The cost of pavement maintenance (sealcoating) is truly a minor expence when compared to the cost of pavement replacement.
