Asphalt Sealcoating Services Residential and commercial sealcoating across Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama. Uniform Paving & Sealcoating has been sealcoating driveways, parking lots, and private roads since 2006.
What sealcoating does
Sealcoating adds a protective layer over asphalt that shields it from the elements and daily use.It helps prevent: Water from seeping into the surface and weakening the base Sun exposure that dries out and breaks down asphalt Oil and chemical spills that soften pavement Oxidation that turns asphalt brittle and prone to crackingWithout protection, asphalt slowly loses its strength and flexibility. With routine sealing, that breakdown slows, and the surface stays stronger longer.
When to sealcoat
Timing matters. Seal too late, and damage spreads. Seal at the right time, and you protect what you already have.General guidelines: New asphalt should be sealed after 12 to 24 months Existing surfaces should be resealed every 3 to 5 years Fading color, small cracks, or a rough surface are signs it is timeIn warmer climates, heat and moisture speed up wear, which makes regular sealcoating even more important.
What affects how long sealcoating lasts
Traffic volume is the biggest factor. A commercial parking lot with daily heavy use wears through sealcoat faster than a residential driveway. Sun exposure, drainage, and the quality of preparation at application also matter.
Preparation is where most sealcoating jobs cut corners. Sealcoat applied over dirty pavement, oil spots, or untreated cracks will peel and fail early. We clean the surface, treat oil contamination, fill cracks, and let everything dry before anything goes down. That step is not optional.
What sealcoating will not do
It will not fix a failing base. If your asphalt is alligatoring, heaving, or showing deep structural cracking, sealcoating is not the answer. Those problems start underground and need to be addressed at the source. We will tell you that when we see it, even if it means the job is larger than you expected.
What it costs
Sealcoating is priced by the square foot and adjusted based on surface condition, crack repair needed, and site accessibility. It is one of the more affordable maintenance services for any paved surface. We do not quote without seeing the job, but we can usually give you a ballpark range on the phone once we know the size and general condition.
