As the winter has finally come to an end there is one simple tip that can help increase the value of your home and make it look like it is well maintained. Sealcoating your driveway can eliminate the sore spots that have come up as the snow has finally melted.
Asphalt parking lots or driveways are expensive to install and usually have a life span of 7-12 years. The asphalt is made up of glue, sand, and rock. Eventually over time due to the expansion and contraction of the sun, there are gaps that appear over time. In addition, asphalt surfaces typically do not hold well to salted surfaces. So in most cases, where the is alot of snow, there is a significant amount of salt that needs to be applied resulting in damage to the surface. These elements cause oxidation to the pavement, drying out the asphalt. Elements such as fuel, oil, antifreeze, and salts break down the oils and cohesive properties in the asphalt.
So what is the bottom dollar? If you could simply sealcoat your driveway or crack seal it, you can increase the lifespan of your driveway or parking lot by 5-7 years.
