Here at S&S Paving and Concrete, we understand the heavy demands placed on asphalt surfaces in West Palm Beach. Between Florida’s hot climate, heavy rainfall, and constant traffic, asphalt driveways, parking lots, and roads deteriorate far more quickly than they should. Our asphalt sealing service provides the protection needed to maintain the integrity and appearance of your asphalt investment.
What is Asphalt Sealing?
Asphalt sealing, also referred to as sealcoating, involves applying a protective liquid sealant to the surface of the asphalt. This sealant forms a durable, water-resistant barrier that shields the asphalt from damaging UV rays, oxidation, water infiltration, chemicals, and normal wear and tear from vehicles. With proper asphalt sealing performed by our experienced team, you can double (or even triple) the lifespan of your asphalt surface.
At S&S Paving and Concrete, we use only the highest quality sealing products for maximum durability and performance. Our asphalt sealing process restores the rich black color and provides optimal protection against cracking, raveling, potholes, and other damage.

The Benefits of Professional Asphalt Sealing
Having your asphalt driveway, parking lot, or other surfaces professionally sealed on a regular basis provides numerous benefits:
Extends the Lifespan of Your Asphalt
The number one benefit of asphalt sealing is dramatically extending the usable life of your asphalt investment. Unprotected asphalt can deteriorate rapidly in Florida’s climate. Professional sealing protects the integrity of the asphalt binder, which helps prevent cracking, crumbling, potholes, and complete pavement failure.
Improves Appearance
While sealing preserves asphalt, it also enhances the look of aging and weathered surfaces. Our asphalt sealants contain acrylic polymers that provide a smooth, consistent, and rich black color that your asphalt had when it was newly paved. Sealing restores the dark, clean aesthetic and uniform appearance.
Repels Water to Avoid Damage
Water is one of the worst enemies for asphalt. When water penetrates the surface, it leads to cracking, erosion, depressions, potholes, and more. Our protective sealants bead up water so it runs off your asphalt rather than soaking in. This prevents costly moisture damage.
Protects Against UV Rays
The sun’s ultraviolet rays can severely degrade asphalt over time, causing it to dry out and become brittle. Our sealcoating formulations contain UV blockers that prevent the sun from prematurely aging your asphalt, keeping it pliable and functional.
Creates a Barrier Against Chemicals
Chemicals like oil, gas, brake fluids, and battery acids that drip onto asphalt will stain and weaken the binder. Our sealing products provide a shield to repel chemicals so they do not penetrate deep enough to damage the asphalt.
Reduces Oxidation
Oxidation from sun exposure and air turns asphalt hard and brittle. Our sealants block oxygen from reaching the asphalt binder, reducing oxidation that contributes to cracking and deterioration.
Resists Gas and Oil Damage
Hot oil and gas that drips onto bare asphalt will dissolve the binder, causing damage, soft spots, and potential cave-ins for parking areas. Our sealcoating protects against this type of chemical and petroleum damage.
Extends Pavement Marking Life
On parking lots and roads, pavement markings last longer when the asphalt is sealed. The sealant provides an optimal surface for the paints and thermoplastics to adhere to, increasing stripe and stencil durability.
Improves Nighttime Illumination
Sealing restores asphalt to a deep black color, which reflects light better to improve visibility and safety at night on parking lots, driveways, and roads. Fresh sealcoating helps keep your asphalt surfaces brighter when illuminated.
Enhances Traction and Skid Resistance
Our sealants contain specialized aggregates that provide better traction and skid resistance once applied to enhance safety and stability. This provides more control for driving and walking on the asphalt.
How Often Should Asphalt Be Sealed?
We recommend sealing your asphalt every 2 to 5 years as preventative maintenance. The exact timing depends on several factors:
| Factor | Description |
| Climate Conditions | In hot, sunny, wet climates like Florida, more frequent sealing is needed. |
| Amount of Wear | High traffic areas like parking lots require sealing more often than low-use driveways. |
| Asphalt Quality | Higher quality asphalt mixtures hold up better, allowing longer intervals between sealing. |
| Prior Maintenance | Asphalt maintained regularly with sealing lasts longer than neglected surfaces. |
We assess the condition of your asphalt when providing quotes to determine the optimal sealing frequency for your particular property. Even if your asphalt is newer, preventative sealing after 2-3 years will help maximize its lifespan. Call us to evaluate your asphalt and advise the best sealing schedule.
Our Asphalt Sealing Process
Our highly trained and experienced team follows proven industry techniques for professional asphalt sealing:
- Site Evaluation: We thoroughly examine the current state of your asphalt to check for any cracks, depressions, erosion, or other damage needing repair prior to sealing. We assess the overall condition to determine required preparations and the correct application rate for the sealant.
- Pressure Washing: We utilize powerful pressure washers to deep clean the entire surface of built up dirt, dust, debris, oil stains, and any other contaminants that could reduce sealer adhesion.
- Crack and Patch Work: Our team repairs any cracks, potholes, eroded areas, or other deterioration using hot asphalt mix for durable, permanent patching prior to sealing.
- Sealcoating Application: We apply the protective asphalt sealant using spray equipment, squeegees, rollers, and brushes to achieve penetration into the pores and proper coverage across the entire surface.
- Second Coat and Aggregate: For maximum durability and longevity on high traffic areas like parking lots, we apply a second coat of sealer with an added layer of aggregate for enhanced traction.
- Dry Time and Curing: We allow sufficient time for the sealcoating to fully cure and dry properly based on the product specifications before opening the area to any traffic.
- Cleanup and Protection: All equipment, overspray, and debris are completely cleaned up and removed from the site when the job is finished, leaving your property pristine.
Our asphalt sealing process restores the look of aging asphalt while providing long-lasting protection from Florida’s harsh environmental conditions. We take pride in the quality of our work and care taken with every job to give our customers the best results.
What Are the Different Types of Asphalt Sealers?
S&S Paving and Concrete uses advanced asphalt sealers designed for maximum durability, longevity, and value. The two primary types of sealcoating products are:
- Asphalt Emulsion Sealers
Asphalt emulsion sealers are water-based products composed of small asphalt particles suspended in water with an emulsifying agent. They provide good penetration into the asphalt pores for protection. Emulsion sealers are lower odor and faster drying compared to other sealant types.
- Refined Tar Sealers
Coal tar pitch refined and blended with polymers create a thick, black refined tar sealer. Refined tar provides the deepest color enhancement and protects against gas and oil damage. We use only high quality, low odor refined tar.
We evaluate your specific asphalt area and requirements when recommending the ideal sealer product for your property. With advanced modern formulations, you get maximum performance from either emulsion-based or refined tar-based sealers.
