Get Your Free EstimateAsphalt sealcoating from Fortune Asphalt Taunton includes a thorough cleaning of your existing asphalt surface, filling minor cracks, and applying a high-quality sealant. This process creates a protective layer that shields your pavement from water penetration, UV rays, and oil spills, which are common issues for driveways and parking lots in Taunton.
Our approach starts with evaluating your asphalt's condition. We remove dirt, debris, and any vegetation from cracks. We then address small cracks and potholes before applying the sealcoat. This preparation ensures the sealant adheres properly and provides maximum protection, extending the life of your asphalt.
For Taunton properties, sealcoating is a critical maintenance step. The city experiences significant temperature fluctuations throughout the year, from freezing winters to hot summers. These changes cause asphalt to expand and contract, leading to cracks. Sealcoating acts as a barrier, slowing down this natural degradation and reducing the need for more costly repairs later.
Homeowners often worry about the disruption and drying time. We work efficiently to minimize inconvenience, and the sealcoat typically dries to a walk-on state within a few hours, though vehicle traffic should wait longer. We use materials designed for durability, offering a strong defense against the elements.
After the application, we provide clear instructions on how to care for your newly sealed surface. This helps ensure the sealcoat cures correctly and provides its full protective benefit. Proper curing is essential for the longevity of the application, especially with Taunton's varied weather.
Asphalt sealcoating protects your pavement in Taunton by creating a barrier against the specific environmental challenges our area faces. The freeze-thaw cycles common in Massachusetts winters cause water to penetrate small cracks, expanding when frozen and leading to larger, more damaging potholes. Sealcoating prevents this water intrusion.
Beyond winter, Taunton's summer sun exposes asphalt to intense UV radiation. This causes the asphalt binder to oxidize and become brittle, leading to surface deterioration and a faded appearance. Sealcoating blocks these harmful UV rays, preserving the asphalt's flexibility and dark color.
Regular sealcoating also guards against chemical spills like oil and gasoline, which can dissolve asphalt over time. By applying a protective layer every few years, you significantly reduce the rate of wear and tear, maintaining the structural integrity and appearance of your driveway or parking lot against Taunton's climate and daily use.
We thoroughly clean the asphalt surface, removing all dirt, debris, and loose aggregate. This ensures the sealcoat can bond properly to your existing pavement.
Minor cracks are filled with specialized material to prevent water penetration. We address small potholes to create a smooth, stable surface for sealing.
A high-quality asphalt sealant is applied evenly across the entire surface. We use methods that ensure complete coverage and a consistent finish.
