What It Is

What Sealcoating Does & Why It Matters at Elevation

Sealcoating is a thin protective layer, squeegeed or sprayed onto existing asphalt, that shields the surface from the three things that age it fastest at our elevation: ultraviolet exposure, oil and fuel staining, and water intrusion through hairline cracks. Cortez sits above 6,100 feet, which means far more direct UV exposure than asphalt sees at sea level — untreated asphalt here oxidizes, fades to a chalky gray, and turns brittle years faster than the same surface would at lower elevation. A fresh sealcoat restores a deep black finish, but more importantly it slows that oxidation process and keeps the asphalt binder flexible enough to handle winter freeze-thaw cycling without hairline cracking spreading into structural damage. We always crack-seal problem areas first, since sealcoat alone won’t bridge an existing crack — it’s a preventive layer, not a repair material. Most Cortez-area driveways hold up well on a 2-to-3-year sealcoating cycle, while high-traffic commercial lots often benefit from slightly more frequent coating to preserve striping visibility and reduce slip hazard from oxidized, brittle pavement. Sealcoating is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of a driveway or lot between full resurfacing cycles, and it’s a service we schedule seasonally, April through October, when surface temperatures reliably stay above the range sealcoat needs to cure properly.
