Trusted Driveway Paving Contractors in Jackson, NJ

A new asphalt driveway needs approximately 3-6 months to cure before being seal coated. This allows the driveway to breathe properly, and settle. After 3-6 months, it is ready to be sealed. During the curing process, oils are released from the asphalt. If the asphalt is sealed to soon, then these oils become trapped, and can initiate some deterioration in the driveway. However, if the driveway is not sealed in a timely manner, then weather and rain can erode the top surface of the driveway. The estimator will discuss these options with you.

Irregardless of the materials used, I wholly recommend a brush application. The spray application uses pressure to spray the sealer onto the driveway. It is up to the person spraying to determine the right amount of sealer to use.

Driveway Armor adds many additives to their mixture. One such additive is to speed up the drying process. Often, by the time we have finished applying the sealer, it is almost dry enough to walk on where we started the application. This helps to protect against animals, yard debris, and other accidents from affecting the finished driveway. Under sunny conditions, the driveway may be safe enough to drive on in 24 hours. Otherwise, it is ready for traffic in 36 hours after completing the application.

Flaking is generally the result of buildup. When too much sealer has been applied, it tends to just build up layer upon layer. Over time, these layers weaken, and flake off. We will wire broom the driveway to remove the loose sealer, but will not strip the entire driveway down to asphalt. Any material we remove from the driveway, will be taken off your property to be disposed of. Other reasons why flaking may occur is due to the previous application. Either the surface was not properly cleaned, or there may have been excessive moisture after the sealer was applied. Environmental factors may also be present. The estimator will help to identify these with you, and discuss ways to extend the life of your driveway.
