Protective seal
Defend your driveway against the harsh elements
Anewly paved driveway is as eye-catching as it is useful: a smooth, flawless surface looking fresh and clean. It’s an inviting feature for your visitors and your vehicles.
Keeping it in good condition for both function and appearance requires regular maintenance and upkeep.
A sealcoating done by professionals defends your driveway against the elements – rain, snow and UV rays can wear down your asphalt.
The first re-application of
sealcoating should take place after one year. After that – depending on the wear and tear your driveway sees – it can be every two years.
“It’s important to protect your investment,” says Enzo Stagno, president and CEO of Ital Paving. “An unprotected driveway will wear down a lot faster than one which has been sealcoated.”
Ital Paving also performs asphalt patching and catch
basin repairs when necessary. Having their team make regular maintenance visits means they’ll see
small issues before they become big problems.
“Regular maintenance
will extend the life of your driveway and keep it looking good along the way,” says Enzo. “Every visit we’ll do an inspection and communicate the results to you.”

job. By finding out their clients’ wishes and doing an extensive review of the site, Ital Paving’s experts can determine how to achieve the best results. Different slopes, how far the house is from the street and elevation all need to be considered.
“Then we can provide an honest answer to our clients about what can and what can’t be done,” says Niki Pickett, the VP and COO of Ital Paving.
Experience counts
Ital Paving recently put the finishing touches on a series of paving projects in a high-end subdivision. The only sign they were there was the quality of the freshly paved driveways.
Their hard-working team
is soft spoken and low key throughout. Their pride, work ethic and loyalty to Ital Paving
takes precedence over
unnecessary conversations and unseemly behaviour. They also make sure the site is clean before leaving.
For over 30 years Ital Paving has provided this type of professionalism. The second-generation company hires based on quality and experience.
“Our team are complete professionals on each and every job,” says Enzo, who has 25 years in the business. “There’s no yelling or foul language. We’ll only say a couple of words to each other because everyone knows what they have to do and how to do it well.”
The results for their clients are great driveways and a pleasant experience while they’re being paved. DS
