Asphalt is cost-effective, flexible, and faster to install than concrete.
Crack sealing prevents water penetration, reducing pavement deterioration.
Sealcoating takes 24-48 hours to fully cure before allowing traffic.
Squeegee-applied sealcoat creates a thicker, more durable layer than spray-on methods.
