East Texas is hard on asphalt. Months of intense sun dry out the binder that holds the pavement together, and heavy rain finds every crack and works its way into the base. Sealcoating and crack filling are the two maintenance steps that slow that process down, and they cost a fraction of what repairs or resurfacing will cost once the damage has spread.
These are maintenance services, not a fix for pavement that has already failed. Athens Asphalt Paving looks at the age, condition, cracking and surface wear of your asphalt first and tells you plainly whether it is a good candidate for sealcoating, whether some repairs should come first, or whether the money is better spent on resurfacing.
The goal is to protect sound asphalt without treating serious failures as if they were only surface issues.
Cracks are cleaned out and filled with a flexible hot-applied sealant that keeps water out of the base and moves with the pavement through summer heat and winter cold.
A sealcoat is a protective layer applied over clean, sound asphalt. It shields the surface from UV, water and oil drips and restores the dark, uniform look of newer pavement.
Sealer only bonds to a clean surface. We clear debris, treat oil spots and address suitable cracks before any coating goes down.
We can suggest a simple schedule for crack filling and sealcoating based on how your pavement is used, so small problems stay small.
| Service | Estimated Cost | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Crack filling | $0.50–$2 per sq. ft. | $1.25 per sq. ft. |
| Residential sealcoating | $0.15–$0.40 per sq. ft. | $0.28 per sq. ft. |
| Commercial sealcoating | $0.10–$0.35 per sq. ft. | $0.23 per sq. ft. |
These are general planning ranges, not quotes. Actual maintenance pricing depends on pavement condition, preparation, square footage, crack severity, access and project size.
We check whether the pavement is a good candidate for preventive maintenance before recommending a treatment.
Sealing suitable cracks keeps water out of the pavement system, which is what preserves the base over time.
We explain what sealcoating and crack filling can and cannot do, and when repair or resurfacing is the better use of your money.
