Industry Info

Routine preventative maintenance can keep your driveway looking like new for longer.

Few things improve curb appeal like a new driveway, but a cracked and faded driveway can make a property look aged and neglected. Fortunately, there are some steps homeowners can take to preserve that freshly paved appearance for longer. “Properly installed and maintained residential driveways should last 15 to 30 years,” says Amy Smith, bookkeeper at Jackson’s Paving & Equipment Rentals, Inc. in Santa Rosa. “The actual time will depend on usage, the elements and proper maintenance. You should sealcoat your asphalt every two to three years to prolong its lifespan.”

Sealants help waterproof asphalt so rain and other liquids don’t permeate the surface. They also prevent chemicals, vehicle fluids, sunlight, weather and other influences from damaging, eroding, and oxidizing the top layer of pavement, which helps maintain the color, texture, appearance and integrity of the pavement longer than untreated asphalt.

Sealcoating usually only costs pennies per square foot, so it’s a process that homeowners can do themselves. Ms. Smith says that because the cost of sealcoating is so low and the process is so simple, homeowners and business owners save money over the long run by paying attention to preventative maintenance for their paved surfaces. “If you don’t maintain your asphalt, it’ll need to be removed and replaced at some point, which is much more expensive than having it sealcoated.”

Nothing can keep pavement new forever, though. “Over time, all asphalt driveways will develop cracks,” says Ms. Smith. “This depends on numerous factors, such as the subsoil type, drainage and ground movement. But the good news is cracks in asphalt driveways can be repaired pretty easily.” Quality paving companies can fill in potholes and large cracks, which can further prolong the life and appearance of driveways, giving new life to old pavement and helping it last longer and look better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How soon can you start my project?
A: It depends on a lot of factors, but we’ll do our best to accommodate your schedule. If you’re going on vacation, we can do the work while you’re gone. We can also work during weekends if you’re a business owner and don’t want to change your business hours.

Q: Will you give me advice about my project?
A: Absolutely. We only recommend work that we’d do on our own home or business.

Q: Can you provide a list of jobs you’ve completed that are close to where I live so I can check them out?
A: Yes, we can provide you with a list of references and recent jobs near you so you can take a look at our work.

Q: How long will my new driveway last?
A: Properly installed and maintained residential driveways should last 15 to 30 years. The actual time will depend on usage, the elements and proper maintenance.

Q: Will my driveway crack?
A: In time, all asphalt driveways will develop cracks, but they can be repaired pretty easily. Age has no bearing on when and how much your driveway cracks. This depends on numerous factors, such as the subsoil type, drainage and ground movement.

Q: What can I do to maintain my asphalt?
A: We recommend sealcoating every two to three years to prolong the life of the asphalt. If you don’t maintain your asphalt, it’ll need to be removed and replaced in its entirety at some point, which is much more expensive than having it sealcoated as recommended.

Jack Wahl: Heavy-Duty

By James Florence, Diamond Certified Resource Reporter

SANTA ROSA — Jack Wahl has always been in awe of heavy-duty vehicles, so when he saw an opportunity to operate them professionally, he jumped on board. “I’ve always had an interest in heavy equipment,” he affirms. “While working as a plumber, I had a chance to operate some trenching equipment and I really enjoyed it. Later, when I hired a paving company to install a driveway at my home, I again felt inspired watching the process and equipment used to perform the job. At that point, I decided to get a job in the paving industry, and I fell in love with it right away. From there, I figured the best thing to do was start my own company. Eight years later, here I am.”

Today, as owner of Jackson’s Paving & Equipment Rentals, Inc., Jack says his favorite part of his job (other than riding around on large vehicles) is interacting with and satisfying his customers. “I like meeting new people and seeing them happy with my work. I’m very motivated to provide each customer with total satisfaction, so it means a lot when they’re smiling at the end of the job.”

A resident of Santa Rosa, Jack spends most of his time outside of work with his wife, Amy, and their son, Jackson. “We enjoy activities like picnicking, fishing and playing board games,” he details. “Jackson plays basketball, baseball and soccer, so Amy and I like to support him and attend his games. When we get a chance, we also enjoy traveling to places like Hawaii and Alaska.”

In regard to his professional career, Jack says he gains perspective by putting himself in the customer’s shoes. “My main thing is making sure our customers are really happy with what we’ve provided. I’ve had professionals work on my home in the past and I know how frustrating it is when you don’t get the results you were hoping for. I never want my clients to feel that way, which is why my daily goal is to do the best job I possibly can for them.”

Ask Me Anything!

Q: What’s your favorite local restaurant?
A: Stark’s Steak & Seafood in Santa Rosa.

Q: Are you an early bird or a night owl?
A: Both—I get up early and go to bed late.

Q: What was your first job?
A: I was a furniture delivery guy.

Q: What’s your favorite TV show?
A: “The Blacklist.”

Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
A: Back to Hawaii. It’s peaceful, the weather is great and the food is delicious.

  • Advantages of Professional Asphalt Sealcoating

    SANTA ROSA — The simplest way to prolong the lifespan of an asphalt driveway is to have it routinely sealcoated. Sealcoating is the process of applying a sealant that protects an asphalt surface from the elements. This sealant keeps rainwater from permeating the surface, prevents erosion from sun exposure, and protects against stains from oil and similar fluids. For optimal performance, an asphalt surface should be sealcoated every two to three years.

    While a homeowner can feasibly perform asphalt sealcoating independently, it’s better to leave this task to a professional paving company. First of all, sealcoating is difficult—not only is it time- and labor-intensive, it’s also extremely dirty work. Additionally, a paving company has access to professional-grade products that you can’t get at a regular hardware store. For these reasons, a company with the right equipment and methodology will be able to perform the job much faster and achieve better results. So, even if you’re a proud do-it-yourselfer, consider leaving asphalt sealcoating to a professional.

    SANTA ROSA — Host, Sarah Rutan: To maximize the lifespan of a driveway or similar asphalt surface, it’s important to invest in routine sealcoating. Today we’re in Santa Rosa with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Jack Wahl of Jackson’s Paving & Equipment Rentals to learn why.

    Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Jack Wahl: The simplest way to prolong the lifespan of an asphalt driveway is with routine seal coating. With seal coating, a sealant is applied to the asphalt surface that protects it from the elements. It keeps rain water from penetrating the surface, prevents erosion from sun exposure, and protects against stains from oil and other fluids. An asphalt surface should be seal coated every two to three years.

    While homeowners can feasibly do seal coating themselves, it’s better to have it done by a professional paving company. First of all, seal coating is difficult. Not only is it time and labor intensive, it’s extremely dirty work. Additionally, a paving company has access to professional grade products that you cannot get at a normal hardware store.

    For these reasons, a company with the right equipment and methods will be able to perform the job much faster and achieve better results. So even if you are a proud do it yourselfer, consider leaving asphalt seal coating to a professional.
