Today we'll talk about sealcoating. What is sealcoating? It's a very important means of protecting your driveway from the elements and extending its lifespan. Wikipedia defines it as an application of protective coating to asphalt-based pavements to protect them from water, oils, UV damage, salt, and other chemicals. Call 574-807-6961 For A Free Estimate |

Why do you need to sealcoat your driveway?
Because it keeps your driveway looking new, extends the life of your driveway, and protects it from deterioration due to the causes listed above. Sealcoating will last 1-2 years in colder climates with harsh winters, and up to 4 years in milder climates. You should remember to keep up the maintenance of your driveway when necessary because waiting too long will cost you more. It would be like starting over. Old sealant and naked asphalt soak up far more sealant than a regularly maintained driveway. You should start to sealcoat your driveway 90 days after installation. This allows the asphalt to cure before applying the protectant.
Your driveway will need to be cleaned and primed before sealing. If there are oils spots they will need to be attended to first or the sealant won't seal properly. The equipment we use for the processes range from simple hand tools for smaller driveways to machines for larger areas. After cleaning with a 16" wire bristle brush and blowing away the debris, squeegees are used to apply some sealers on smaller areas. If a very long driveway is involved, we usually use a high pressure spraying machine to apply the coating.

Of course, you can try to do it by yourself but there are many disadvantages to it. Besides the cost of materials can be expensive, there are other things to consider. The project is lots of work, very messy, takes time away from other things, and may not turn out as well as you had hoped. DIY projects are usually more than you bargained for.
Hiring a pro like Performance Paving is highly recommended and can save you money and frustration in the long run. If you do a bad job of it yourself and it has to be replaced, that will cost you more than if you'd just hired a pro from the beginning, plus you'll have lost your initial investment on materials.
The average price per square foot ranges greatly for squeegee applied coating. The squeegee applied is superior to the spray-on as far as results and quality goes. These prices will vary depending on your geographical location.
