Question 1
Can alligator cracks be filled or do they need to be patched?
Can alligator cracks be filled or do they need to be patched?
Alligator cracks — which look like broken glass or scales — are a sign of structural failure in the asphalt’s base. These areas cannot be fixed with crack filler alone. J&R Paving and Sealcoating LLC recommends full-depth patching for alligator cracks to restore strength and prevent further deterioration.
Question 2
Why does concrete crack over time?
Why does concrete crack over time?
Concrete cracks for several reasons — including shrinkage during curing, ground movement, temperature changes, and lack of control joints. Even properly installed concrete can develop small cracks over time. J&R Paving and Sealcoating LLC minimizes cracking risk by using correct mix ratios, control joint placement, and compacted subbases to ensure long-term performance.
Question 3
What’s the difference between resurfacing and full replacement?
What’s the difference between resurfacing and full replacement?
Resurfacing involves milling off the top layer of asphalt and paving a new one over a stable, existing base. This is a cost-effective option when the foundation is still in good condition. Full replacement, on the other hand, includes removing all layers of asphalt down to the subbase and rebuilding the surface from the ground up. J&R Paving and Sealcoating LLC typically recommends full replacement when the base is compromised or there are widespread structural issues.
Question 4
Why is paving done in multiple layers (lifts)?
Why is paving done in multiple layers (lifts)?
Paving in multiple lifts allows for better compaction, improved strength, and long-term durability. Each layer is installed and compacted separately to ensure a strong, stable surface. J&R Paving and Sealcoating LLC uses this method to create pavement that holds up under heavy traffic, temperature changes, and everyday wear.
Question 5
How often should I sealcoat my driveway or parking lot?
How often should I sealcoat my driveway or parking lot?
Every 2–3 years is ideal, depending on traffic levels, sun exposure, and climate conditions. Regular sealcoating protects your asphalt from oxidation, moisture, and surface wear. J&R Paving and Sealcoating LLC recommends routine sealcoating as part of a long-term pavement maintenance plan to extend the life of your investment.
Question 6
What’s the difference between asphalt and sealcoating?
What’s the difference between asphalt and sealcoating?
Asphalt is the structural material used to construct roads, driveways, and parking lots — it’s made from a blend of aggregates and liquid binder, designed to support vehicle traffic and weight. Sealcoating, on the other hand, is a protective surface treatment applied over existing asphalt. It helps guard against UV damage, water penetration, oil spills, and surface oxidation. J&R Paving and Sealcoating LLC provides both full asphalt installations and professional-grade sealcoating to preserve and extend the life of your pavement.
