St. Louis Asphalt Driveway Sealing, Parking Lot Sealcoating,
Striping, Crack Filling, and Pot Hole Repair.
Most people tend to concentrate on their landscaping when thinking of
those outdoor improvements. There is more to having that perfect curb appeal
than just replacing those plants that have died over the winter and tending
to the lawn. Your asphalt driveway is one of the biggest features and
investments of your property. If it looks bad, it makes your whole house
look bad. Pictured above you can see how sealcoating, filling those cracks,
and fixing any potholes can make a world of difference. Call and make an
appointment today to increase your property value, reduce maintenance cost,
beautify and protect your blacktop driveway.
Business owners you know how important first impressions
are. The first thing your customers see is your store front and parking lot.
If they don't look good, you don't look good. Are your customers passing you
by and your not even aware of it? Are they assuming the inside of your
business is maintained the same way the outside is? We
offer a full line of parking lot maintenance solutions. It may be time for a
face lift. A shinny black parking lot with freshly painted lines may be just
what you need to get those customers back in.
Home owners, is your asphalt driveway looking dull and
gray.
You want that shinny black look. Sealcoating will give you the protection
you need and the look you want. If your selling your home sealing your
driveway may be just the thing to tip the scales in your favor. Get
that curb appeal your neighbors will envy.
We suggest sealcoating your new asphalt black
top driveway when it is less than a year
old, although they can be sealed successfully years later. Bear in mind that
a new asphalt driveway is flexible and elastic. It will expand and contract
without cracking. As a driveway ages however, the pavement loses its
elasticity and becomes brittle and will start to crack.
We also recommend getting two coats the first time the
driveway is being sealed. The first coat of sealant will
be absorbed like a big sponge. For the best protection
against the weather we always recommend getting that
second coat.
When water enters cracks in your
blacktop, asphalt driveway or parking lot ,
it works its way down to the base below, reducing the base's compressive
strength. This can cause depressions to form and eventually potholes. If the
water freezes, the ice can increase the size of the cracks.
Also sealcoating protects the asphalt driveway from damage caused by the
sun's rays. We use a coal tar emulsion sealer, it will protect the driveway
from surface unraveling caused by oil drips or gasoline spills. Sand can be
added to the sealer to provide slip resistance on request.

Both of these products are coaltar
emulsions. With the cost of coaltar going up over
50% in the last couple of years a lot of companies are
switching to a asphalt emulsion. While the cost of
asphalt emulsion is nearly half of coaltar emulsion
let's compare the two.

We are always
trying to improve our quality and by staying with
coaltar emulsion we have taken a big step in the right
direction. When you are receiving bids on your
asphalt sealcoating and some of them are nearly half of
the other ones you can almost bet that they are using
asphalt emulsion.
Coal tar emulsion will always be more water,
gas, oil, and other chemicals resistant, by its make up.
Asphalt emulsion will always be less odorous and cause
far less burning to the sealcoaters. Asphalt
emulsion is an advantage to the sealing companies,
but as of this report has less advantages to the
consumer when considering protection against UV
radiation, gas, oil, chemicals, color retention, and
water absorption.
