Whether you’ve recently installed a new driveway or been using the same surface for years, paving contractors typically recommend that you invest in sealcoating. This service offers a protective barrier prevents certain common damages as the result of exposure to cold weather, the sun’s rays, and vehicle fluids like oil. Here are some of the other major advantages it provides.

3 Perks of Sealcoating Your Driveway

1. Faster Snow Melting

Sealcoating helps to accelerate the melting of snow and ice on your paved surfaces. This prevents snow from accumulating and putting excess weight on the pavement, which can cause potholes and other damage over time. Faster snow melting also makes it less likely that the freeze-thaw will occur and create cracks. 

2. Enhanced Appearance 

Sealcoating improves the appearance of your driveway by augmenting the rich, black color of the pavement. It also seals any small cracks and rough spots on the surface, which makes the pavement smoother, cleaner, and more attractive. If you expect to sell your home within a few years, this amenity can boost your curb appeal. 

3. Save Money

Consider sealcoating services from a paving contractor an investment in preventive maintenance. Since they protect your driveway from fading, holes, cracks, and moisture infiltration, you won’t have to worry as much about dealing with the expense and inconvenience of repairs in the future. The total life expectancy of your paved surfaces will also increase. The less frequently you have to repave your driveway, the lower your costs will be. Sealcoating also generally costs less per square foot than repair or replacement, depending on the extent of the problem.
