Protect your Bronx asphalt from the harsh city elements and heavy traffic with our proven sealcoating service.
Get Your Free EstimateAsphalt sealcoating is pretty straightforward: we clean your pavement, fix any small cracks, and then put down a protective layer of sealant. We always make sure the surface is totally ready before we apply our high-quality, commercial-grade sealer. This stuff really shields your asphalt from water, sun, and even chemicals.
First off, we give the surface a good, thorough cleaning. That means we blow off debris, sweep everything up, and sometimes we even power wash to get rid of any dirt, oil, or grime. If we spot small cracks, we fill those in right away. You can't just seal over problems, can you? We fix them properly so the sealer actually works as it should.
Here in the Bronx, asphalt really takes a beating. Those constant freeze-thaw cycles in winter, our hot summers, and all the salt used on the roads — they all work together to break down pavement. Think of sealcoating like sunscreen and a raincoat for your driveway. It stops water from seeping in and keeps those UV rays from breaking down the binder.
Homeowners often ask about drying times or how long it lasts. Usually, you'll need to stay off the sealed surface for 24 to 48 hours; it really depends on the weather. A well-done sealcoating job typically holds up for 2 to 4 years right here in the Bronx. Of course, that timeframe varies with traffic and how well you maintain it.
Bronx asphalt really takes a beating, doesn't it? We get those freezing winters, loads of snow and ice, then it swings right into hot, humid summers. This constant temperature dance makes asphalt expand and contract, and if it's not protected, you're looking at cracks and potholes.
Then there's the city's heavy traffic, especially on spots like Fordham Road or the Grand Concourse. That means more wear and tear on commercial lots – and even residential driveways, for that matter. Water and oil spills happen all the time, and they can really chew through unprotected asphalt in a hurry. Sealcoating, though, puts a solid barrier between your pavement and all those damaging elements.
And let's not forget the soil. In many parts of the Bronx, like the sandy loams in Pelham Bay or those rocky areas around Riverdale, drainage can be tricky. If water just sits on unprotected asphalt, it'll seep right in and cause bigger problems down the line. Sealcoating helps that water run off, keeping your pavement nice and solid.
We clear all debris, dirt, and loose asphalt from your pavement. We'll use blowers, brooms, and sometimes power washing to get it spotless, making sure the sealer sticks right.
Small cracks are filled with hot rubberized crack filler. This stops water from getting underneath the asphalt and causing bigger problems later on.
We apply a high-quality, commercial-grade asphalt sealer evenly across the entire surface. We use brushes or sprayers, depending on the area, for a consistent coat.
After application, we give the sealant proper time to cure. We'll advise you on the specific drying time, usually 24-48 hours, before you can drive or walk on it again.
