C and R Asphalt Sealcoating

Petroleum products are murder on asphalt. Oil leaks from automobiles will soften asphalt shortening its life cycle. Coating the asphalt with a sealant helps to fill the porous areas of the asphalt, which makes it resistant to petroleum products and other damaging elements.

Because it is more resistant to liquids, sealing the pavement also provides a barrier to natures elements. It extends the life of the pavement by sealing off cracks that rain would otherwise travel through. Eventually, and much quicker than many believe, erosion from rain causes the cracks to become larger and larger leading to failure of the pavement. In addition, sealing also helps slow down the process of oxidation. Oxygen causes the asphalt to become brittle and break away easier. It also helps to make the surface of the asphalt much more uniform.

Slows oxidation and water penetration. Exposure to oxygen hardens asphalt bingers and results in a brittle pavement surface that soon cracks. These cracks permit water to penetrate into the sub base, weakening it and reducing pavement strength. This in turn leads to more cracks, which can eventually expand and become potholes. Seal coats fill surface voids, reducing exposure to oxygen and water and prolonging pavement life.

Another harmful element of nature is the utraviolet rays from the sun that break down the carbonic bonding nature of asphalt. Sealing the pavement helps to fend off the effects of the suns rays.

Although less expensive than concrete paving, asphalt paving is still a major expense. Maintaining regular sealings of the paved area will protect your investment, and make the need for repaving every few years much less likely. Furthermore, regular sealing will maintain the appearance of the asphalt, refreshing its newly laid appearance.

C & R Asphalt, LLC is a regional distributor for NEYRA Industry Products and has been certified as a “Commercial Jennite Certified Contractor”. With this certification, C & R Asphalt, LLC is able to offer a 3 year limited warranty on most applications of “Jennite” sealcoating. There are certain application criteria to meet to be able to offer this warranty.

C & R Asphalt, LLC is the largest sealcoating firm in Central Kentucky installing over a quarter million gallons in 2005 (over 12 million square feet).

Sealcoating provides your asphalt pavement surface with two critical benefits:

1. It extends the life of your pavement by protecting it from elements that destroy its structural integrity, thus lowering the lifetime costs of the parking lot areas.

2. It enhances the image and look of your parking lot area, which appeals to your customers.

Why choose C & R Asphalt, LLC a full service asphalt paving and maintenance contractor, as your sealcoating contractor?

1. Peace of mind.
We are rigid in adhering to manufacturers' specifications for mix design and application rates. We also have extensive training for our crews in proper application techniques. In simple terms, "we apply it correctly the first time".

2. We treat your customers like our customers.
Our sales consultants and crews are trained and encouraged to be courteous and considerate of your customers. They recognize that minimal inconvenience is critical to your customers. Crews also work hard to ensure a safe environment through proper barricades and signage during the sealcoating process.

3. Trained and dedicated crews.
C & R Asphalt, LLC has over 1 dozen employees dedicated solely to sealcoating and pavement maintenance. These are men who seal, stripe and crackfill every day. They are not paving crew members shuffled over to the sealcoating side because paving is slow or the sealcoating job at hand is larger than the normal crew can handle. Many of our competitors commingle paving and sealcoating crews. C & R Asphalt, LLC avoids this practice at all costs. Paving and sealcoating do not go hand in hand from a field technician’s standpoint. They are completely different skills. C & R Asphalt, LLC believes this practice is one the the many reasons that our quality exceeds our competitors – day in and day out and has given us the ability to install over 12 million sq. ft. of sealcoat in 2005.

Like all pavement maintenance products, picking the right seal coat material and process for your unique requirements is critical. The amount of traffic, image you desire, time available for application, and many other factors are critical in determining which sealcoating system is right for you.

Areas adjacent to concrete/brick surfaces are hand edged first and the remainder is professionally sprayed. Spraying technique gives the most even coverage and therefore a more uniform wear pattern. It also leaves a pattern free initial surface.

C & R Asphalt, LLC purchases sealcoat in tanker truck loads to maximize discounts and lower freight costs. We keep the sealcoat in storage tanks inside of our warehouse. These tanks have powered mixers built-in to keep the sealcoat stabilized fresh from the factory. We use special sand that is tested and factory approved for mixing with our sealcoat. (Using less costly sand that may not mix totally with our sealcoat can cause premature washing away of the sand and therefore a slippery surface.
