What is Asphalt Paving?Asphalt paving only occurs when your current asphalt is faulty. Whether you had a poor installation, the pavement wore down due to the weather, or it’s just old, it’s time for new blacktop.
We use the latest techniques for asphalt paving with the highest quality equipment and highest grade materials. Our paving contractors can offer one of two methods when paving your driveway, parking lot, or roadways:

What is Asphalt Sealcoating?Also referred to as “coating”, “sealing” and “resurfacing,” asphalt sealcoating is a preventative technique as part of regular maintenance. If you get your driveway or parking lots paved often enough, it provides a layer of protection between the elements of the weather and other factors, including gas and oil spills. Sealcoating is a layer of ‘sealer’ over the asphalt that works as its protector from anything that comes its way.
We recommend sealcoating every 12 to 24 months depending on the use/wear and tear your asphalt receives. With frequent enough sealcoating done by the professionals at Elgin Sealcoating & Paving Works, you can extend the life of your asphalt. Sealcoating prevents the asphalt from expanding, cracking, and wearing down prematurely. Call us today to discuss your asphalt needs.
