BRZ Construction provides asphalt seal coating when it applies to the pavement. Seal coating is a surface treatment for asphalt that is still in usable condition. It is not a repair method for failed pavement and it is not a substitute for overlay or reconstruction.
What seal coating is
Seal coating is the application of a sealer over existing asphalt to help protect the surface from oxidation and weathering. It is used on pavement that is structurally sound. Cracks and failed areas should be addressed first if they are present.
Who this service is for
Commercial property owners and managers, and residential customers with asphalt pavement that is still in good condition and needs surface protection rather than structural repair.
Typical applications
- Parking areas with sound asphalt
- Driveways that are still structurally stable
- Surface protection after pavement is already in serviceable shape
- Maintenance of asphalt that does not yet need overlay
What the project may involve
- Inspection to confirm the pavement is a candidate for sealer
- Cleaning and preparation of the surface
- Repair of cracks or failed spots if they must be addressed first
- Application of seal coating and time for the surface to cure before traffic returns
When seal coating is not appropriate
Do not seal coat pavement that is alligator-cracked, rutted, or failing at the base. Sealer will not bind a broken pavement back together. Those surfaces need repair, overlay, or reconstruction. Seal coating is used when it applies to the condition of the asphalt, not as a default on every asphalt job.

Questions about Seal Coating
Does every asphalt project need seal coating?
No. Seal coating is used when the existing asphalt is still sound and a surface treatment is appropriate. Failed pavement needs repair or resurfacing instead.
Can seal coating hide cracks and potholes?
No. Failed areas should be repaired first. Sealer is not a structural repair.
Is seal coating used on new paving?
New asphalt generally needs time in service before a sealer is considered. Whether sealer is appropriate, and when, depends on the pavement and the project. That is confirmed for the specific surface.
