Seal Coating: Protect What You Pave
Rhode Island’s harsh winters and wet springs can do a number on asphalt. That’s where seal coating comes in. Think of it as sunscreen for your pavement — sealing out moisture and UV rays to extend the life of your driveway or lot.
Why seal coating matters:
- Prevents cracks and erosion
- Extends asphalt lifespan
- Boosts appearance
- Saves money on long-term repairs

Patios & Custom Projects: More Than Just Driveways
Perry Paving also specializes in outdoor asphalt projects like patios. Our patio installations are perfect for creating beautiful, functional outdoor spaces — without breaking the bank.
We bring the same level of precision and care to patios as we do to driveways. Asphalt patios offer a sleek, modern look and are easier to maintain than many other materials.
