Running a business not only includes the inside of your operation, in many cases it also entails having, and maintaining, a parking area for your employees. One way to keep the asphalt free from cracks and holes is to stay on top of maintenance as problems occur.

Crack Sealing in Providence, RI is one of the best methods for extending the life of your pavement.

Besides parking lots and other asphalt covered areas, New England Sealcoating also handles the resurfacing of sports facilities. New England Sealcoating has years of experience repairing what the elements have worn down on the courts. They routinely do basketball and Tennis Court Repair since they require a smooth surface for the players using them.

When Crack Sealing in Providence, RI is done on a court, the type of filler that’s used is somewhat different from pavement filler. A knitted fabric filler is used on court surfaces which does not bond to the crack itself. This allows the filler to expand and stretch as the crack widens without pulling away. Sports surfaces require special techniques to keep them playable. If repaired improperly, dead spots will appear and the court will require more costly repairs.
