  • How often do I need to sealcoat?

    Sealcoating is typically recommended every two years, though this can vary based on the amount of traffic and usage your asphalt surface experiences.
  • How long does asphalt last?

    With proper maintenance, an asphalt surface can last between 15 to 20 years before requiring replacement.
  • What are the signs that asphalt needs to be repaired?

    Several indicators suggest asphalt repair is necessary. These include alligator cracking, which appears as interconnected cracks and indicates structural issues; potholes caused by water infiltration; rutting in wheel paths due to heavy loads; raveling, where the surface aggregate becomes loose; and edge or block cracking resulting from aging or inadequate support. Additionally, depressions or areas that collect water, often called 'birdbaths,' may point to subgrade problems. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage and avoid the need for costly full replacement.
