Seal Coating
The Blacktop Guy provides professional seal-coating of asphalt surfaces, and detailed repairs of cracks and potholes for residential driveways and commercial businesses. Neat hand-brush precision application, the use of commercial grade sealer and over twenty years of experience makes the difference.
Protect your investment. Seal-coating is a low-cost way to protect expensive asphalt pavement, and to improve the overall look of your property. It provides a barrier, minimizing the damage caused by:
- Evaporation of solvents in the pavement. Sunlight, whitens and dries out the surface. As a result asphalt can become brittle and prone to cracking.
- Water and ice entering cracks, which expand during freeze and thaw cycles.
- Oil and gas spills are repelled on a seal-coated surface.
Preparation
Thorough cleaning is necessary for proper adhesion. Vegetation is removed from cracks, dirt spots are scraped, then wire brushed, and the entire surface is cleaned with power blowers. Oil spots are then wiped cleaned and coated with a special primer designed for proper binding of sealer over oily areas.
Crack Repair
Major cracks require individual hand application of an elastic filler expressly made for crack repair to seal from damaging moisture. Heavily cracked and damaged areas cannot be filled. Careful hand brush application of the sealer provides neat edges and uniform thickness.
