A new driveway increases the value of your property
Asphalt paving can increase your home's value due to improved curb appeal, enhanced functionality, and a perception of a well-maintained property.
Real estate experts estimate that a newly paved asphalt driveway can add 5-10% to a home's resale value. The actual value added can vary based on factors like the overall condition of your neighborhood's driveways, and the quality of the installation.
Monster Paving knows how to maximize the perceived value of your home using the best asphalt products, installed using the best techniques.
How Paving Boosts Value
-
Enhanced Curb Appeal:
A well-maintained, newly paved driveway creates an excellent first impression for potential buyers, making the property more attractive.
-
Perceived Maintenance:
Buyers often see a new driveway as a sign of a well-maintained home, reducing the likelihood of needing costly repairs soon after purchasing.
-
Durability and Longevity:
Asphalt offers a durable, long-lasting surface that can withstand traffic and weather, providing a sense of security and long-term value to new homeowners.
-
Functionality and Convenience:
A paved surface provides convenience and practical benefits for multiple vehicles and guests, which can enhance the home's appeal and functionality.
-
Factors Influencing Value
-
Condition of the Area:
In an area with many unpaved or gravel driveways, an asphalt driveway will stand out more, adding significant value compared to a neighborhood where asphalt driveways are already standard.
-
Market Conditions:
The increase in value depends on the local real estate market.
-
Quality of Installation:
A professional and high-quality installation will be more impactful than a poorly done job.
-
Overall Home Condition:
A new driveway's impact is amplified if it complements other well-maintained exterior features of the home.

Five Steps We Take With Every Sealcoat Project
Clean-Off All Surfaces.
Remove dirt, dust, pebbles, leaves, algae, moss and grass.
Before sealcoating, the surface should be clean and dry.
Remove Oil Spots
Oil and grease stains can prevent the sealcoat from bonding properly, leading to uneven coverage and reduced protection. Treating these stains with a degreaser or specialized oil stain remover is essential to ensure a durable and effective seal.
Patch small areas
If you seal over unfilled cracks and holes, it will trap moisture, leading to expansion and contraction with temperature changes, which can worsen the damage. Patching creates a smooth surface, preventing the sealant from pooling in low spots and ensuring a consistent appearance. A well-prepared surface will allow the sealcoat to adhere properly, increasing its longevity and effectiveness.
Crack Filler
Crack filling helps prevent water from penetrating the cracks, which can lead to further damage and deterioration of the asphalt. Sealcoating over top of the crack-filler then provides a protective layer on top, enhancing the overall durability and appearance of the pavement. Sealcoating alone is not designed to fill cracks and sealcoating over unfilled cracks means the cracks will continue to expand beneath the sealcoat.
Protect Other Surfaces
Before applying sealcoat to an asphalt driveway, it's crucial to protect surrounding surfaces like grass, concrete, building surfaces and landscaping from overspray and spills. This typically involves using painter's tape, drop cloths, or covering materials to prevent the sealcoat from adhering to unwanted areas.
