As satisfying as it is to have fresh asphalt paving on your driveway, you'll want to make sure it lasts for as long as possible. The paving contractors at Beausoleil & Sons have been serving the areas of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut for more than 40 years; they pride themselves on doing the job once and doing it right. That's one of the main reasons they recommend applying a sealcoat to asphalt paving, both new and old.

When applied to asphalt, sealcoating not only helps protect it from elements such as rain, wind, snow, and the sun, but it also protects it from any products that may react with the surface. Here are a few of the ways it will keep your paving pristine:

• No Oil & Gas Damage: Since asphalt is petroleum based, it tends to have a negative reaction to other petroleum products. That's why oil and gasoline from vehicles will damage it over time, and this is one of the wearing processes that seal coating provides a barrier of protection from.
• Restored Minerals: Sealcoating restores minerals in the pavement, beautifying it in the process. It also helps prevent damage that oxidation causes to standard paving.
• Longer-Lasting Pavement: With the protection your driveway gets from sealcoating, you'll find the pavement lasting much longer than usual. A regular application every two years will further maintain both the look and functionality of the pavement.

For a solid guarantee that your asphalt will stand the test of time, consider sealcoating from the paving professionals at Beausoleil & Sons. Visit them online for more information, or give them a call at (401) 632-0203.
