Rampavement

Well-maintained asphalt enhances the aesthetics, safety and value of your property. Having a regular maintenance program in place and handling repairs in a timely fashion prevents small issues from becoming large/expensive ones. That’s especially important now, when costs of fuel and asphalt are rising rapidly due to supply and demand, and inflation. 

The recent spike in fuel prices is impacting the cost of asphalt. Asphalt is produced from the remnants of petroleum after it’s distilled. It then undergoes another modification process to make it malleable for paving purposes. As the price of fuel rises, the costs increase on asphalt composition, production, transportation and installation. 

All asphalt deteriorates over time. In the midst of rising fuel prices, seal coating is an important process to preserve your paved assets. Seal coating protects your pavement from sun damage, prevents moisture penetration and fills small surface cracks. When it is applied in conjunction with a crack-sealing program, your pavement’s natural deterioration rate drops dramatically. In our experience, for every $1 spent in pavement maintenance, $10 is saved in replacement costs.
