Out of sight, out of mind is a phrase with which most of us are familiar because we apply it to many aspects of our lives. For example, it is easy to go a few years without having a professional check our gutters or our roof. When we find a leak, we wish we had taken the time to think sooner about the condition of our roof and gutters. And how many of us think about the insulation in our attics before we suddenly realize that our heating and air-conditioning bills have skyrocketed? Out of sight, out of mind. Our driveways are not out of sight, yet in many ways, they are still out of mind. We tend to take our driveways for granted, but we really should not. Seal King specializes in professional sealcoating services which can protect your driveway from age and the elements so that you can truly not worry about damage or an unsightly driveway. Here are a few reasons why sealcoating your driveway in Minnesota is so important.
Minnesota winters are known to be VERY cold. And snowy. The extreme temperature and weather fluctuations can create havoc for driveway surfaces. Sealcoating your driveway can go a long way toward preventing cracks, which can become fissures, which can then become total structural failures of your driveway surface. Sealcoating maintains the asphalt that forms your driveway. If you have not had your driveway sealcoated before Winter this year, we strongly recommend that you put it on the list now for the spring.
As durable a substance as asphalt is, over time, it will give in to the stronger forces of Mother Nature. The Seal King sealcoating process, however, provides significant delays to the ravages done by time and extremes of weather on your driveway. Cracks that form on untreated driveways this winter would not form for years on our driveways that have been treated. While we will not say that we can thwart Mother Nature, our knowledge of and respect for those natural forces has allowed us to develop a sealcoating system that protects your driveway surface for much longer than an untreated asphalt surface.
Our sealcoating process includes a thorough cleaning of your driveway to remove debris and prepare the surface for sealcoating. We fill cracks with a hot rubber sealer prior to applying the four-hundred-degree sealcoating substance. Our sealcoating prevents water from penetrating the surface of your driveway, which prevents it from wearing away and breaking down. Seal King has locations all over Minnesota to serve you.
