Cost-Effective Surface Treatment
Chip Sealing
A cost-effective surface treatment that provides excellent skid resistance and renews the life of older pavements. Jim George & Sons delivers professional chip seal applications built to last.
Renew Your Pavement at a Fraction of the Cost
When full repaving isn't necessary but your pavement needs more than a seal coat, chip sealing is the smart choice. It creates a durable, weather-resistant surface that stands up to traffic and Illinois winters — without the price tag of a full overlay.
- Ideal for aging roads, rural driveways, and farm lanes
- Creates a waterproof barrier against moisture damage
- Provides a rough, high-traction driving surface
- Significantly cheaper than repaving or overlay
- Quick application with minimal downtime
Benefits
What Chip Sealing Does For You
Cost-Effective Protection
Chip sealing costs a fraction of full repaving while adding years of service life to aging asphalt surfaces — one of the most affordable pavement preservation methods available.
Excellent Skid Resistance
The aggregate chips embedded in the asphalt emulsion create a textured, high-traction surface that improves safety in wet and dry conditions alike.
Renews Aging Pavements
Chip seal restores waterproofing, fills minor surface voids, and gives worn pavement a fresh, uniform appearance — extending its useful life significantly.
How We Apply Your Chip Seal
Surface Assessment
We evaluate the existing pavement for structural integrity and repair any major damage before applying the chip seal.
Emulsion Application
A layer of hot liquid asphalt emulsion is sprayed evenly across the prepared surface to create the bonding layer.
Aggregate Spreading
Clean, uniformly-sized aggregate chips are immediately spread over the emulsion and rolled to embed them firmly.
Compaction & Sweeping
The surface is compacted with pneumatic rollers, then excess loose stone is swept away once the seal has cured.
