Driveway Sealing
If you want your asphalt driveway to last longer and look better, even after being exposed to the elements year after year, driveway sealing is a must. Here in Virginia Beach, where sun, salt, and storms take a toll on pavement, sealing helps protect your investment from the outdoors. At Sandpiper Asphalt Driveway, we provide high-quality asphalt sealing services that restore your blacktop’s appearance and guard against future damage. Whether it’s a brand-new installation or an older surface in need of maintenance, our sealing solutions are tailored to give your asphalt driveway the durability it deserves. This can be the difference between a surface that you’re proud of and one you’d rather hide.
Why Driveway Sealing is Important
Over time, UV rays, oil leaks, and water penetration break down unprotected asphalt, causing it to fade, crack, and deteriorate. This kind of breakdown is common with materials of all types. Regular sealcoating provides a protective layer that helps prevent this kind of wear. Our driveway sealcoating service shields your blacktop driveway from the sun’s heat, rainwater, and vehicle fluids – preserving its strength and appearance for years to come. Think of it as sunscreen for your pavement: one simple step that goes a long way toward long-term protection. While you might not notice the difference from one day to the next, the payoff will be clear in the long run.
Our Sealing Process
We start each job by cleaning the surface to remove debris, oil stains, and loose material. If necessary, we’ll also perform minor asphalt repair to fill cracks or small holes before applying the sealant. Sealcoating is most effective when applied to a consistent surface without any weaknesses present. Once the surface is prepped, we apply a premium-grade blacktop sealer using professional tools to ensure even coverage. The result? A sleek, jet-black finish that repels water, resists oxidation, and helps your driveway stay smooth and strong through the seasons.
When and How Often to Seal Your Driveway
In the Virginia Beach climate, we recommend sealing your bitumen driveway every two to three years, depending on wear and exposure. New driveways should wait at least six months before the first sealcoating. After that, regular maintenance keeps the surface flexible, reduces the risk of cracking, and improves curb appeal. If you’re unsure whether it’s time to reseal your asphalt driveway, our team is happy to assess your pavement and make expert recommendations based on its condition. Best of all, we offer these consultations completely free, so there’s no risk.
