Asphalt Sealcoating

Sealcoating is a protective layer applied over asphalt that shields it from the things that age it fastest: UV exposure, oxidation, water, oil, and gas. A fresh sealcoat restores that deep black, like-new appearance, but more importantly it slows the drying and cracking that lead to expensive structural repairs. Biran Paving Group provides commercial and residential sealcoating throughout Metro Atlanta.

We clean the surface thoroughly, address oil spots so the sealer adheres, treat minor cracks, and apply sealcoat evenly for full, durable coverage. For commercial lots we schedule around your business hours and traffic so the surface can cure and your operations are not disrupted. For driveways, the result is a clean, uniform finish that boosts curb appeal immediately.

In Georgia's climate, most asphalt benefits from sealcoating roughly every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic, sun exposure, and condition. Done on a sensible cycle alongside crack filling, sealcoating is one of the lowest-cost ways to protect a major asphalt investment and keep your property looking sharp.

What’s included

• Protects asphalt from UV, water, oil, and oxidation
• Restores a clean, uniform, like-new black finish
• Surface cleaning and oil-spot treatment before application
• Scheduled around your business hours and curing time
• Recommended roughly every 2 to 4 years in Georgia's climate

Why it matters

Asphalt doesn't fail all at once — it ages. The sun's UV oxidizes the binder, the surface dries out and turns gray and brittle, water and gas and oil work in, and brittle asphalt is what cracks and ravels and eventually breaks apart. Sealcoating is the protective coat that slows every part of that process. Think of it as the difference between leaving a wood deck bare in the Georgia sun and keeping it sealed: same material, very different lifespan. Biran Paving Group provides commercial and residential sealcoating throughout Metro Atlanta, and we treat it as protection first and curb appeal second — though the deep, uniform black finish it restores is a genuine bonus for any storefront or home. We clean the surface properly, treat oil spots so the sealer can actually adhere, address minor cracks, and apply sealcoat in even, full coverage rather than a thin, streaky wash. On a sensible cycle alongside crack filling, sealcoating is one of the lowest-cost ways to protect a major asphalt investment, and with 15+ years of experience we'll tell you honestly when your pavement is ready for it and when it isn't.

What drives the cost

• Total square footage to be coated — the single biggest driver, since sealcoat is priced largely by area
• Surface condition and cleaning required — heavy dirt, debris, moss, or oil and gas stains need extra prep before the sealer will bond
• Amount of crack filling or minor patching needed first, since sealcoat goes over a sound, sealed surface, not open cracks
• Number of coats applied and the coverage rate appropriate for the traffic the surface sees
• Layout complexity and edge work — lots with many curbs, islands, and tight corners need more hand-cutting
• Re-striping after sealcoating, since fresh sealer covers the old parking-lot lines and markings
• Scheduling around your operations — off-hours or phased work on a live commercial lot to allow cure time
• Site accessibility and the need for any traffic control or barricading while the sealer cures

Our process

1. Surface Inspection & Readiness Check. Sealcoating only pays off on pavement that's a candidate for it, so we first confirm the surface is sound enough to protect rather than already past the point where it needs resurfacing. We also identify cracks and oil spots that have to be handled before any sealer goes down.
2. Thorough Cleaning & Oil-Spot Treatment. We clean the surface of dirt, debris, and loose material and treat oil and gas stains, because sealcoat won't bond to a dirty or oil-soaked surface. This prep is the unglamorous step that determines whether the sealcoat lasts its full cycle or peels early.
3. Crack Filling & Minor Repairs. We fill cracks and address minor surface defects first so the sealcoat goes over a water-tight, even surface. Sealing a cracked lot without treating the cracks just paints over the problem — we close the gaps so the whole system actually protects the pavement.
4. Even Sealcoat Application. We apply sealcoat in even, full coverage — cutting in clean edges by hand and coating the open field uniformly — for durable protection and that consistent, deep-black finish. Proper application rate matters: too thin and it doesn't protect, too thick and it can track or cure poorly.
5. Curing, Re-Striping & Reopening. Fresh sealcoat needs time to cure before traffic returns, and it covers the old lines, so we re-stripe stalls, arrows, and ADA markings once it's set. For commercial sites we phase the work and time the cure around your hours so your lot reopens clean, protected, and properly marked.
