Wrightsville Beach NC • Residential + Commercial • Bio-Based
Dry, faded asphalt in Wrightsville Beach does not need to be torn out. Our bio-based rejuvenation treatment restores the oils that age and sun strip away, brings back the deep black color, and adds years to your driveway's life. One visit.
Wrightsville Beach is a 4.6-mile barrier island where every parcel sits in a federally-designated flood hazard area. Direct Atlantic exposure means the heaviest salt-air load on the coast, and Hurricane Fran's 11-foot surge in 1996 covered the entire island. That's the backdrop for any honest conversation about asphalt rejuvenation here.
From the older cottages of Harbor Island and South End to the post-1980s rebuilds on Shell Island, the constants are the same: humidity, salt, sun, and storms. Our job is to rejuvenate what's already in place and add years of life without replacement. Wrightsville Beach is the only town on the coast where the entire footprint is a FEMA flood hazard area and pilings are common,concrete sealing applies as much to pilings, elevated pads, and rebuilt pool surrounds as to driveways.
Our bio-based rejuvenation treatment restores the oils that age and sun strip away, brings back the deep black color, and adds 5 to 7 years of life to the existing surface. About a quarter of replacement cost, done in a single day.

Different chemistry. Sealcoat is a topical layer that wears off. Rejuvenation actually penetrates the asphalt and restores the oils internally. We can explain the difference during the assessment.
It can restore the surface and prevent new cracks. Existing cracks need to be filled separately before treatment. We do both.
Yes, slightly. Constant salt spray and V-zone wave action accelerate every type of exterior wear. Plan on the lower end of our typical lifespan range for Wrightsville Beach properties, and schedule maintenance closer to annual rather than every 3-5 years.
