The surface lasts for 5–7 years. Patch work can be done with a bucket of tar sealer and more chip seal over the top.

   Newer systems can be patched relatively easily because breaks and leaks are easier to locate. [5] Originally asphalt roofing required a layer of gravel above it for two reasons. First, asphalt with direct exposure to sunlight degrades much faster, mainly due to the expansion and contraction throughout a day, and also the damage created by UV ...
