If you own a home, you have likely heard someone refer to it as your most important investment. It is true that generally speaking, our homes can generally be sold for more than we purchase them for – so in that way, we are investing in our future when we buy a home. Sadly, though, sometimes the term ‘investment,’ at least as it relates to owning a home, can sometimes be more of a euphemism for having to spend a lot of money on maintenance and repairs. There are still aspects of owning a home, however, that are true investments that add value to your home and property, and a sealcoated driveway by Seal King is one of them.

Paving over old asphalt can be tempting. It seems quicker, easier, and more affordable. It’s better to remove the old asphalt if you don’t want to do it again in a few more years. To be able to withstand foot and vehicle traffic, asphalt needs a solid base.

There may not be much you can do about these cracks and potholes now, but as the snow melts and the temperatures rise, it will be the perfect time to repair your asphalt surfaces to prevent driving and walking hazards for your guests
