<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>The Right Time To Consult Asphalt Sealcoating Somerset County Contractors</h2><br />

<div class='uawarticle'>Installing pavements in homes and business premises helps increase the curb appeal. However, these landscape structures should be constructed by skilled, qualified, and experienced contractors. The kind of <A href="http://www.asphaltmaintenancenj.net">asphalt sealcoating Somerset County</A> contractor you deal with will determine the quality of finished pavement you get. Before you engage with any contractor, consider reviewing the previous projects the company has handled.<br />
<br />
Pavements in homes help reduce dust and prevent mud from being carried to the house through foot traffic. Homeowners who want to resell their properties might also want to give them a facelift by renovating their driveways and parking lots or installing new ones. When pavements have been constructed, they need to be maintained properly.<br />
<br />
The surface needs to be sealcoated regularly to enhance its appearance and prevent the blacktop from being damaged by external factors like ultraviolet rays and water. The sealcoats provide a barrier, which protects your pavements. If the cracks enlarge and they cannot be restored using sealcoats, then you are forced to apply other techniques such as resurfacing. Before any sealcoats are applied, all the defects including cracks have to be corrected.<br />
<br />
Sealcoating pavements that are cracked, depressed, or have upheavals only masks those problems. Throughout the life of pavements, you will have to deal with cracks. The cracks can form due to problems arising underneath pavements or from external factors. When you have a feebly constructed base with loose materials, the soils may shift time in time, leading to development of cracks.<br />
<br />
There are different pavement restoration procedures applied including sealcoating, overlay, resurfacing, removal and replacement, or patching. With resurfacing, it cannot be used many times and it only works where the sub base is stable and in good condition. You cannot apply overlay on a pavement that has a damaged sub base.<br />
<br />
Ultraviolet rays from the sun will heat blacktop and make the surface harden. With the constant exposure to sunlight, the blacktop begins to change its color. Initially, you have a blacktop that has a beautiful jet black color however, with time, it changes and assumes a gray color. This is one indication that pavements are deteriorating and need to be restored through sealcoating.<br />
<br />
The blacktop needs to be protected from these elements. Sealcoating offers a layer of shielding material that prevents the elements from coming into direct contact with blacktop. Sealcoats are applied a couple of months following the installation of a new driveway or parking lot. For the sealcoats to bind properly with the asphaltic cement, they need to be applied at the right time. The timing is very important if you want to get good results from sealcoats.<br />
<br />
When all cracks and other defects have been repaired, the sealcoats can be applied. Any other major defect like potholes need to be repaired before a coat can be placed on blacktop. Other successive coats will need to be applied time in time. It will take about 2 to 5 years before another sealcoat is put on blacktop. However, this will depend on how fast or slow the present coat peels or deteriorates.<br />
