Compare your parking lot to other parking lots in your area. Fresh sealcoat gives your asphalt a dark, rich look so if it’s faded and colorless, it is time to blacktop the surface with fresh sealer. Perhaps you have noticed that sand and debris are gathering in lower areas which would suggest that your asphalt is coming up which means you need more sealcoat protection. Another sign of deterioration is you start to see your parking lines fade as well as the development of oil spots. All of these signs point to the fact that your asphalt is starting to age. Sealcoating protects your asphalt from the harmful effects of heat, freeze/thaw, moisture, and UV rays. (910) 246-8656.
