Know When You Need Sealcoating

Great Candidates

Some of the best candidates for sealcoating aren’t what you may expect at first. We commonly service the following industries with sealcoating services; some represent large-scale jobs and others are far smaller. After all, the only criteria that the following have in common is asphalt paving that needs a new top layer for protection and visual appeal.

  • Department stores
  • Malls and shopping centers
  • Grocery stores
  • Office buildings
  • Designated parking lots
  • State highways and county roadways
  • City roads, streets, and neighborhoods
  • Medical centers, such as hospitals, doctor/dentist offices, and more
  • Apartment and condominium complexes
  • Privately owned homes
  • And more!

The Criteria

In order to qualify for a sealcoating is the desire to protect already-existing asphalt paving. Commonly, the areas that need asphalt paving most are those that feature high traffic, regular parking, and are exposed to the elements; therefore, parking lots and roadways represent the most common sealcoating candidates. The largest misconception surrounding sealcoating is that only massive parking lots are worth sealcoating; in fact, we end up doing just as many or more square footage of sealcoating services for small- and medium-sized lots than we do for the massive malls and hospitals out there. In light of this, it is important that you don’t rule yourself or your business out as candidates for sealcoating unjustly. With a fresh sealcoating applied, you can expect your original asphalt paving to last many years longer due to the general protection created by your new surface layer.

The Process

Getting started with American Sealcoating in Bridgeview is simple, our sealcoating experts will analyze the current state of your asphalt paving and come up with a specialized plan for tackling the job. Often times our alternative services, such as infrared asphalt repair or crackfilling can serve as an affordable, yet suitable, solution for the current state of your pavement. While a full sealcoating isn’t nearly as expensive or time consuming as a newly installed pavement would be, it is still a large job that we don’t recommend unless necessary. From there, we strive to work around your schedule and/or busy periods to keep the inconvenience caused by your investment in improved pavement to an absolute minimum.
