We’ve all driven over a pothole. Potholes are not only obnoxious and frustrating, but they can also cause some real damage to your customers’ vehicles. Do you foresee your customers continuing to come visit your property when they risk ruining their vehicle every time they drive up? Additionally, there’s never a scenario where potholes get better. Until they are repaired, potholes will only get larger, more obnoxious and definitely more costly. Winter is coming soon so now is the time to repait them.

A sealant is typically used to provide a barrier of protection for a wide variety of materials. It is often used in construction projects to seal or block between building materials. A sealant is often used when it is important to prevent moisture from being transferred between surfaces and/or small openings. Similarly, a sealant can be used to protect asphalt and prevent water and dirt from getting underneath your driveway or sidewalk and causing cracks, holes or other damage. When moisture gets underneath asphalt it can decrease the strength and durability of the surface.

As you look out your window at your driveway, you may be wondering how to protect your investment and maintain its appeal and durability. Sealcoating is a type of sealant used to protect asphalt pavements. In conjunction with crack repair, sealcoating keeps your driveway strong and intact when applied every two to three years. It serves as a protective barrier against the elements and vehicle traffic. Sealcoating also enhances the appearance of pavement with an even black finish. There are a few things to know about sealcoating before you start:
Sealcoating is not a one-time structural repair that can restore damaged asphalt. If your driveway has cracks or prior repairs, they will still be visible after sealcoating. While your driveway will be black after the application, sealcoating cannot “smooth out” rough areas or fill cracks larger than ¼” wide.

There are several options when the time comes to repair your asphalt driveway or parking lot. Depending on the condition of the asphalt and the underlying structures (cracks, potholes, etc.), you may not simply be able to sealcoat the surface. In many instances, if deeper cracks have formed, it may be best to consider asphalt repair or replacement, as the cracks allow water to seep into the structure underneath, possibly freeze/expand, and cause larger issues

The services we provide can actually extend the life of a driveway or parking lot. For example, if your driveway is damaged, and one of the problem areas is the apron that connects your garage to your driveway, you could have a potential safety issue on your hands. Like any structure built on top of the ground surface, the apron of your garage is at risk of settling, which means that it could crack and possibly even sink to a level

When we have lived in our home for a long period of time, it is easy not to see the gradual wear and tear that is caused by Minnesota weather or just time. For example, foot and vehicle traffic go across your driveway multiple times a day, every day of the year, slowly wearing down the asphalt surface. This, combined with normal weathering from the rain, snow, ice, sunlight and wind can change the color and texture of your asphalt and leave it cracked and brittle. You may not even be able to remember what your driveway looked like years ago
