Welcome To Rotterdam Sealcoating

Rotterdam Sealcoating offers crack filling solutions for both parking lots and driveways. Crack filling plays an important role in pavement preservation.  Filling cracks will prevent water and moisture from seeping into the asphalt and expanding cracks further. This step will help in preventing pot holes from developing over time. Hot tar crack filling is a cost effective measure to prevent cracks from expanding into more costly repairs down the road. We use a premium grade polymer-based material that is applied at 375 degrees, which bonds with the sides of the crack. In most situations, traffic can drive over freshly sealed cracks in as little as 10 minutes.

Why have us crack fill?

-Prevents water from penetrating into the pavement.

-Prevents weeds and vegetation from growing in exposed cracks.

-Prevents pot holes from developing in pavement.

-We have the necessary equipment to properly clean out cracks prior to sealing.

When should I consider sealcoating my driveway?

Regular sealcoating is recommended for all asphalt driveways that are at least 6 months old. Sealcoating can significantly extend your driveway’s lifespan by slowing the normal degradation of the asphalt that results from freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, oil, gasoline, and sun exposure.

While the terms asphalt paving and sealcoating are often confused, each of these services has different purposes. Sealcoating can repair very minor cracks or defects, though it is typically used to maintain and protect asphalt surfaces. Asphalt paving is useful to repair or replace damaged or aging asphalt driveways.

The Benefits of Sealcoating

By having an asphalt maintenance program in place, you can avoid unnecessary and expensive repairs due to pavement failures that naturally occur over time. When done according to manufacturer specifications, Sealcoating combined with crack sealing can actually double the life of your asphalt pavement.

Why Sealcoat?

Prevent Oxidation from harmful UV rays.

The sun’s ultraviolet rays harden and dry out asphalt pavements. This leads to the acceleration of raveling and erosion. Once this process starts it can reduce the thickness of your asphalt in just a few short years. Sealcoating combined with a regular maintenance program will greatly reduce the speed of this natural process.

Prevent Weather Damage

Sealcoating combined with properly sealed cracks will prevent water penetration that occurs over time. Water penetration will eventually lead to pavement failure and costly repairs.

Reduces damage from Gas, Oil & Salt.

Sealers and oil spot primers help protect your asphalt from gas, oil seepage and other road chemicals. Asphalt is a petroleum based material, which can be broken down by gas and oil.

Beautify Your Pavement

Regular sealcoating will return your pavement to its original jet black finish. Contrasted with freshly striped parking lot lines, sealcoating will greatly improve the overall appearance of your home or business.

Having freshly painted parking spaces is a great way to make a lasting impression on customers. A clean parking lot shows that you care about your image, your business is doing well, and you care about your customers safety. We use commercial grade latex traffic paints that resist fading and lasts for years. We provide re-striping services for existing lots, as well as new layout designs for freshly sealed or paved parking lots.

Why line stripe?

-Comply with state, local, and federal requirements for handicapped accessible parking.

-Helps meet local occupancy codes.

-Improves the efficiency, safety, and appearance of your parking lot or warehouse.

-Provides an inviting appearance to your customers with visible markings that portrays a solid company  image.

Rain, snow, chemicals, and the extreme freeze-thaw cycle all take their toll on your pavement.  The harsh climate of the greater Upstate area greatly contributes to the deterioration of asphalt pavement.  Potholes in your parking lot or driveway can be a serious liability to anyone who uses your parking lot or driveway. In addition to being a safety hazard, potholes and other defects reflect poorly on your properties image. By using proper maintenance techniques like sealcoating and crack sealing, you can extend the life of your pavement.
