The sealant also restores the fresh, rich black color of the asphalt, thus dramatically improving your property’s appearance. By consistently protecting your pavement from deterioration and failures, you are prolonging the life of the original asphalt by years.
Parking lot maintenance is most economical when consistently performed from the outset. However, it is never too late to implement a maintenance plan that will optimize your current pavement’s condition and prolong its life.
