So anybody have any experience between Sealcoating and Chipsealing of Asphalt roads. Is Sealcoating a waste of money? Is Chipsealing worth the additional expense?
We have two mile of private road and have an estimate of around $30,000 to get it chipsealed. I think I can get it sealcoated for around $10,000.
The road is only 4-5 years old but is getting heavy use these days since a new resident has been getting tons of construction done with lots of heavy equipment. There are lots of cracks forming and one bad pothole.
We have collected $20,000 in maintenance fees so I'm looking at either getting the first half of the road chipsealed or getting the whole thing sealcoated and then repeating the sealcoating more often.
Any suggestions, wisdom, or input?
