Why Sealcoating Is One of the Smartest Investments for Your Asphalt

Asphalt is durable, but it’s not invincible. Sun, rain, oil spills, and traffic take a toll over time—causing it to fade, crack, and deteriorate. That’s where sealcoating comes in. At We Love Paving, we always recommend sealcoating as a proactive, cost-effective way to protect your pavement and maximize its lifespan.

Here’s why sealcoating is one of the smartest investments you can make.


🛡️ 1. It Protects Against Weather and Oxidation

UV rays and oxygen break down the binders in asphalt, causing it to become brittle. This leads to surface cracks, raveling, and early failure.

Sealcoating acts like sunscreen for your pavement, shielding it from harmful elements and preserving its flexibility.


💧 2. It Prevents Water Damage

Water is asphalt’s worst enemy—especially when it seeps into cracks and freezes or weakens the base. Once that happens, the damage spreads fast.

A quality sealcoat forms a waterproof barrier that keeps water from penetrating the surface.


💸 3. It Saves You Money Long-Term

Sealcoating every 2–3 years costs far less than resurfacing or full replacement. Preventive maintenance is simply more economical—and smart property owners know it.

At WLP, we help clients reduce long-term costs with proactive care.


🛞 4. It Improves Traction and Appearance

Sealcoating restores that rich, dark black finish that makes your property look clean and well-maintained. It also helps with surface texture, improving skid resistance for pedestrians and vehicles.

Better aesthetics = better impressions, whether it’s for customers or tenants.


🧰 5. It Works Best as Part of a Full Maintenance Plan

Sealcoating is most effective when combined with crack sealing, proper drainage, and timely repairs. That’s why we offer custom maintenance plans that fit your budget, traffic load, and property type.

For property managers in California, ADA compliance isn’t just a regulation — it’s a responsibility. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that every property, parking lot, and walkway is accessible to people with disabilities. Unfortunately, many properties fail to meet these standards, not because owners don’t care, but because small details are often overlooked.
