Rochester’s winter weather can wreak havoc on your driveway, as well as regular wear and tear. At some point, your driveway will start to show signs of damage. If you notice any of the following signs, you need a new sealcoating from Shamrock Paving.

#1: Color Fading and Dullness

Your driveway should look dark and sharp for a clean, impressive look. However, over time you may notice that your driveway is starting to fade into an unsightly gray. This loss of color is a sign that you need new sealant on your driveway. If your driveway is starting to look dull and is losing its gloss, you will need to have your driveway sealed as well.

#2: Oil and Gasoline Drip

No one wants to have unsightly gasoline stains on their driveway. If you notice blotches and spots spanning your driveway, you will want to get a new sealant to protect your driveway from this damage. If you do not remedy damage from oil and gasoline drip, your driveway will crack, deteriorate, and break down. Applying a sealant will help protect your property from these risks.

#3: Noticeable Cracks and Deterioration

Not all cracks and breaks are due to gasoline and oil drip. If you notice any cracks or damage to your driveway, you will need a new sealcoat. The presence of cracks in your driveway means that whatever sealing coat was there beforehand is losing its effectiveness. By sealing these cracks as soon as you can, you can protect yourself and your property from further damage. Failing to remedy this situation can lead to bigger cracks, including potholes.
