It’s a hot one out there.

In fact, the next few days should bring record-breaking heat to the great state of Maryland. This time of year, people are definitely thinking about their asphalt driveways and their list of to-do’s to keep them in tip-top shape. And, really, it’s no wonder that asphalt is on the brain. This time of year, asphalt seal coating companies have a ton of work and you can’t drive anywhere without seeing some asphalt company working on an asphalt driveway or on a local business’ asphalt parking lot.

Today I wanted to discuss a few questions I get asked a lot as I’m working on various asphalt sealcoating jobs throughout Maryland. First and foremost, certainly at the top of the list:

What is asphalt sealcoating?

To put it simply, sealcoating is the process of applying sealer to your asphalt surface. This application prevents oxidation, protects the asphalt from weather damage, tends to reduce the cost of maintaining your apshalt, and it increases both beauty and longevity of the asphalt surface.

What are the benefits of asphalt sealcoating?

As stated above, sealcoating is beneficial for your asphalt surfaces for a number of reasons. Not only does it beautify your property, providing a newer, well-maintained aesthetic to your property, but it serves many purposes for maintaining the surface as well as protecting the property owner’s bottom line. The sealcoating application applies a sealing agent that is durable and powerful in shielding your asphalt from the damaging effects of weather, which reduces maintenance expenditures over the life of your driveway, parking lot, or other asphalt surface.

What temperature should it be for sealcoating?

Temperatures should be at least 50 degrees F or warmer.
