Protect your Inglewood asphalt with a durable sealcoat, ensuring a longer-lasting, more resilient surface against local conditions.
Get Your Free EstimateAsphalt sealcoating delivers a renewed, protected surface that resists damage from sun, rain, and vehicle fluids. This service includes a thorough cleaning of the existing asphalt, filling minor cracks up to 1/4 inch, and then applying two coats of high-quality, commercial-grade asphalt sealer. The result is a uniformly black, sealed surface that repels water and prevents oxidation, maintaining the structural integrity of your pavement.
Our approach focuses on maximizing the lifespan of your asphalt investment. We prepare the surface by removing all debris and oil spots, ensuring optimal adhesion of the sealant. The application is performed using professional spray equipment, which provides an even, consistent layer across the entire surface, avoiding streaks or thin spots that compromise protection. This method ensures that every square foot of your pavement receives full coverage and the intended protective barrier.
For Inglewood properties, sealcoating is a crucial maintenance step. The intense California sun and occasional heavy rains can accelerate asphalt deterioration, leading to premature cracking and fading. A properly applied sealcoat acts as a sacrificial layer, absorbing the UV radiation and preventing water penetration, which are major contributors to pavement breakdown in this climate. It also helps preserve the aggregate within the asphalt, preventing loose gravel and surface erosion.
Property owners often ask about the drying time and impact on use. After application, the sealed surface is typically dry to the touch within 2-4 hours, but we recommend keeping vehicles off for at least 24 hours, and ideally 48 hours, to allow for full curing and maximum durability. This waiting period ensures the sealcoat sets properly, providing the intended long-term protection without tracking or premature wear. The outcome is a pavement that looks new and performs better for years to come.
Asphalt sealcoating provides a significant return on investment by extending the functional life of your pavement. In Inglewood, the consistent sunshine and occasional temperature fluctuations cause asphalt to oxidize and become brittle, leading to surface cracks and potholes. A protective sealcoat slows this degradation, preventing minor issues from escalating into expensive repairs.
This protective layer also creates a barrier against water penetration. Inglewood experiences periods of heavy rain, and unsealed asphalt allows water to seep into the base layers, weakening the foundation and causing structural damage. Sealcoating ensures water beads on the surface and runs off, preserving the integrity of your asphalt and preventing costly sub-base failures.
Beyond protection, sealcoating restores the aesthetic appeal of your property. It brings back the rich, black color of new asphalt, enhancing curb appeal and property value. For businesses, a well-maintained, dark asphalt surface projects professionalism and care, creating a positive first impression for customers and visitors in the Inglewood area.
We begin by thoroughly cleaning the asphalt surface, removing all dirt, debris, oil, and stains to ensure proper adhesion of the sealant. This includes power blowing and, if necessary, pressure washing the entire area.
All minor cracks up to 1/4 inch wide are filled with a hot-applied rubberized crack filler. This prevents water from penetrating the pavement and undermining the sub-base, ensuring a stable foundation.
Two coats of commercial-grade asphalt sealer are applied evenly using professional spray equipment. This method ensures complete coverage and a consistent protective layer across the entire surface, maximizing durability.
The sealed surface is allowed to cure for 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions, before vehicle traffic resumes. A final inspection confirms a uniform, protected, and visually enhanced pavement ready for long-term use.
