An Ultimate Guide on Sealcoatings for Commercial Properties
From car parks to driveways, commercial properties demand rigorous attention and maintenance. One crucial aspect of this responsibility is investing in quality sealcoatings. So what exactly is a seal coat? It’s a protective layer applied to pavement surfaces, effectively shielding them against harmful environmental factors such as UV rays, oil spills, and even water damage. It not only increases the lifespan of your asphalt but also contributes significantly to its aesthetic appeal. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the process, benefits, and essential tips regarding applying sealcoatings to your commercial property.
The Sealcoating Process
The sealcoating process commences with a thorough cleaning of the asphalt surface. Efflorescence, oil patches, or any other kind of debris must be entirely removed to ensure optimum adhesion of the sealant. Following this, necessary repairs like patching up cracks or pothole fillings are undertaken.
Further, the selected sealant, usually a mixture of water, emulsified asphalt, and mineral fillers, is methodically applied. It’s suggested to apply two coats of sealant for the best results. The asphalt surface then needs to fully cure – a process typically taking 24 to 48 hours.
Why Choose a Professional Driveway Sealcoating Contractor
Sealcoating might seem straightforward, but it’s a task best entrusted to a trusted driveway sealcoating company. It demands expert knowledge, precision, and professional-grade equipment, often beyond the reach of a DIY enthusiast. A reputable driveway sealer contractor would also be familiar with local weather patterns and know the best time to carry out the sealcoating process, ensuring a long-lasting, durable result.
Benefits of Sealcoating
Using a seal coat offers a plethora of benefits. Firstly, it prolongs the service life of your driveway by safeguarding it against wear and tear. A sealcoat wards off oxidation and enhances the resilience of asphalt against weather-related damages. It also minimizes the rate of water infiltration, a leading cause of potholes and cracks.
A less discussed but equally important benefit is the aesthetic enhancement a seal coat lends to your property. A freshly seal coated driveway appears smooth, dark, and attractive. A well-maintained property can leave a lasting impression on your clients or visitors and play a significant role in determining your property’s curb appeal.
Asphalt Sealcoating Cost
The cost of asphalt sealcoating wholly depends on the size of the area being sealed, the type of sealant used, and the regional labor costs. The condition of the driveway also influences the overall price. A driveway that’s been regularly maintained will cost less to seal coat than one left unattended for years. Always consider getting quotations from multiple sealing driveway companies to ensure you get the best deal without compromising the service quality.
Sealcoating: A Wise Investment
Given the comprehensive benefits and the protection that sealcoating offers, it’s safe to deem it a worthwhile investment for any commercial property. It’s a preventive measure that saves you from extensive repairs or replacements in the future. Whether you’re a property manager or a business owner, sealcoating should certainly be a part of your real estate maintenance strategy.
Conclusion
Sealcoating, in the long run, can extend the lifespan of your commercial property’s asphalt surfaces and enhance their appearance. A well-chosen driveway sealcoating contractor can provide you with quality services that you can trust, making the process smooth and straightforward. Do plenty of research when evaluating sealcoating costs and always approach reputable sealing driveway contractors for the job.

About Shelby, Michigan
History
Shelby Township was set off by an act of the Michigan Territorial Legislature on April 12, 1827, and a civil government was organized the following May. It originally included the area that is now Sterling Heights, which was set off March 17, 1835, as the township of Jefferson, renamed to Sterling on March 6, 1838. Utica, located on the southern edge of the township, originally incorporated as a village on March 9, 1838, although that corporation was dissolved soon afterwards. The village was incorporated for a second time on May 10, 1877.
The village of Disco (42°41′02″N 83°02′04″W / 42.68389°N 83.03444°W) was located at what is now the junction of 24 Mile Road and Van Dyke Road. and was platted in 1849. The community never incorporated, although the local high school, the Disco Academy, gained some local recognition and a post office named Disco operated from May 5, 1854, until July 31, 1906. Only a few homes and a namesake on old county road maps remain of this now forgotten historic place. See also: “The Lost Village of Disco” on the Shelby Township Historical Society website.
