What is Sealcoat: The sealcoat used in our region (Kitsap County and all of Washington) is typically an asphalt emulsion, water based sealant. We use Cascade Asphalt's Armorseal A-100 HD premier asphalt sealer.

Why Should you Sealcoat : Asphalt is a pourous material that is susceptible to damage from both the Sun and Rain. Sealcoat provides the following benefits:
1.) Protects Asphalt from Oxidation (graying) and Unraveling.
2.) Protects against sub-base errosion and asphalt failure.
3.) It looks great! Affordable way to boost your home or business' curb appeal.
4.) Regular maintenance can double the life of your asphalt!  
When Should you Sealcoat: It is best to let newly laid asphalt cure a minimum of 90 days before sealcoating. Sealcoat also needs to be applied at 60­°F or warmer, here in Kitsap County our working season runs from Mid-May to Early October. How often you should seal depends on the amount traffic the asphalt is exposed to. Your typical driveway should be sealcoated every 4-7 years while Commercial Lots should be sealed approximately every 3-5 years. It is possible to sealcoat too often, this results in poor adhesion, flaking sealcoat, and/or cracking of the sealcoat.

What is Asphalt Repair:  Asphalt repair is required when an area of the asphalt has failed. There are a few different repair options but all application result in the installation of new Hot-Mix Asphalt.

Why Should you Repair your Asphalt:  Areas of failed asphalt allow for large quantities of water to reach and deteriorate the sub-base. Unrepaired areas can quickly become larger and spread thoughout the entirety of the asphalt. Failed areas of asphalt typically create tripping hazards, pot holes, and other hazardous conditions throughout your pavement.

The paint itself is designed specifically for vehicle traffic and is typically a latex or solvent based paint. Thermoplastic or Epoxy are used instead of paint in certain applications of pavement markings as well.

Pavement markings maximize the efficiency of your parking lot and also give your asphalt a fresh new look.
