Asphalt deterioration is unavoidable, but fortunately, it can be slowed down significantly with a general maintenance routine. Over time the consistent attacks of water, oxidation, and chemical/gas/oil spills cause the asphalt to dry, grow brittle, and eventually break apart.

There are several factors to consider when pricing asphalt work. Without first inspecting the current condition of the property it is difficult to provide an accurate quote – this is why we like to visit the site in person and cannot typically provide quotes over the phone.
The main factor is the square footage; this is the starting point for calculating the costs. Several other factors could impact your projects’ total costs, such as the thickness of asphalt being laid down, the base layer needed, the type of asphalt used, required site preparation or demolition needed, drainage needs, labour costs, etc.
Depending on wear and tear – you should have your driveway resealed every 2-3 years.
New asphalt should be sealed 3-6 months after being laid.
It might seem like an easy job or a more cost-effective solution to seal your driveway yourself, but if you take into consideration the materials, tools, and time needed to complete this job, it is likely better left up to the professionals. We have the expertise to get the job done efficiently and without any mistakes.
The sealant purchased in stores for personal use is not as durable or long-lasting as the professional products we use. Any spillage, splashes or mistakes will not easily wipe off with just water or soap, we use a special product to remove any sealant on unwanted areas.
