Using driveway sealing, property owners can improve the appearance, durability, and lifespan of their driveways.

With regular sealcoating, asphalt driveways can be kept in good condition for decades of use.
WHAT IS DRIVEWAY SEALING?
Driveway sealcoating is an inexpensive and cost-effective maintenance technique that can ensure asphalt driveways are resistant to damage, appear brand new, and last for decades of use.
With sealcoating, a driveway sealer is applied to the surface of your asphalt, protecting the driveway and acting as a shield from water, UV radiation, ice, chemicals, and other elements that can cause damage to your asphalt. Sealcoating protects asphalt from the outdoor elements that commonly lead to damage and costly repairs.
Driveway sealing contractors use a professional sealant to protect your asphalt surface. Typically, sealcoating only needs to be performed every three to five years if done correctly with the right products. It is an inexpensive process and can be done quickly over a short period of time.
IS DRIVEWAY SEALING NECESSARY?
Property owners have many reasons to use sealers for their residential or commercial properties. Asphalt is susceptible to many forms of damage. Heavy vehicle use can degrade the asphalt surface, as can UV radiation, freeze-and-thaw weather conditions, and chemical spills. Once cracks have formed, water can seep beneath the asphalt surface, degrading the ground and leading to costly forms of damage like potholes, large cracks, and uneven pavement.
Damage on asphalt surfaces is unattractive and reflects poorly on properties. Even worse, untreated damage can quickly lead to more severe forms of damage, which require costly and complex repairs. Without proper maintenance, asphalt can degrade and need to be replaced after a short period of time.
Driveway sealing is one way to protect asphalt and extend its lifespan, allowing for decades of reliable use. Not only does sealcoating improve the appearance of asphalt surfaces and property, but it saves property owners money on costly repairs.

We use only the highest-quality materials for our driveway sealing. For all of our sealcoating jobs, we use Black Diamond XL, the industry’s longest-lasting driveway sealer. By using this long-lasting sealant, property owners should only have to perform sealcoating every three to five years, on average.
For each of our jobs, we follow a standard process to ensure the highest-quality results. First, we assess your property, determining if sealcoating is the right solution and making note of any existing damage. If sealcoating is appropriate for your driveway, we work with you to find a time that works with your schedule.
On the day of the sealcoating, our professional contractors clean the entire asphalt surface. We prepare the surface by treating any existing oil stains to ensure no further damage can be done. We then perform the sealing procedure, applying multiple layers to your asphalt surface and ensuring that the sealant covers all of the asphalt. This procedure can be done in less than a day. After a period of 12 to 48 hours, the asphalt surface should be as good as new and can be used again.
Driveway sealing can save money, boost appearances of curb appeal, and prevent damage. If you are a property owner with a driveway, contact Ottawa Gatineau Homes. today to find out how we can help improve your property.
