Frequently Asked Questions

Asphalt is a porous material. Without protection, sun exposure (UV rays) dries out the oils that keep it flexible, while water and oil spills weaken the structure. Sealcoating acts as a protective barrier, preventing oxidation and significantly extending the lifespan of your pavement.

We don’t just “fill” a crack; we repair it. We use a hot-applied rubberized mastic that is heated to over 300°F. When applied, it bonds to the walls of the crack and remains flexible. This is crucial for New England weather, as it allows the asphalt to expand and contract during freeze-thaw cycles without breaking the seal.

• Sealcoating is a preventative maintenance treatment (like paint or varnish) that protects the existing surface.

• Resurfacing (or overlay) involves adding a new 1.5″ to 2″ layer of hot-mix asphalt over the old surface. If your asphalt is still structurally sound but looks grey and worn, sealcoating is the most cost-effective way to refresh and protect it.

For residential driveways, we recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before driving a vehicle on it. For commercial parking lots, we can often stripe the lot and have it ready for traffic sooner by using fast-drying additives, depending on the weather conditions.

Yes. We are a fully registered and insured Rhode Island business. We take safety and professionalism seriously, ensuring that both our crew and your property are protected throughout the duration of the project.

Our season typically runs from April through October. Because we are weather-dependent, our schedule fills up quickly. We recommend requesting your free estimate in early spring to secure a spot during the peak summer months.

Pricing for asphalt maintenance depends on the total square footage and the current condition of the surface. We provide competitive 2026 sealcoating estimates that include a full evaluation of your pavement. By investing in high-quality maintenance now, you avoid the much higher costs of full asphalt replacement later.

Yes! We have expanded our services to include sports court resurfacing and striping for basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts throughout RI. We use specialized, slip-resistant coatings that provide a durable, professional finish for both residential and community recreational areas.

Many DIY kits use cold-pour liquid that eventually shrinks. We specialize in hot rubberized asphalt crack filling (mastic). This creates a waterproof bond that stretches as the pavement moves, making it the most effective form of asphalt repair Rhode Island has to offer for our freezing winters.

Absolutely. Our parking lot striping in Rhode Island ensures your property is fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), including designated handicap stalls and high-visibility crosswalks to protect your business from liability.

If you have a pothole, your asphalt’s foundation is already exposed. During winter, moisture enters the base, freezes, and expands, turning a small hole into a major hazard. Our pothole repair in Rhode Island stabilizes your lot before the first frost hits.
