How Parking Lot Sealcoating Extends the Life of Your Asphalt

Sealcoating protects asphalt surfaces, like parking lots and roadways, from damage caused by oxidation, water infiltration, and other environmental factors that accelerate deterioration.

By expanding and contracting during sudden temperature changes and ground movement, sealcoating material reduces the need for maintenance and repairs, prolonging the life of the existing pavement.

How Often Should Parking Lot Sealcoating Be Performed?

The recommended frequency for asphalt sealcoating maintenance varies depending on a few key factors.

Our team can help establish a maintenance schedule that fits your needs and your budget. We also perform free periodic inspections of your pavement to ensure it stays in tip-top shape for years to come.

The Commercial Sealcoating Process

Here’s a breakdown of our three-step commercial sealcoating process.

Preparation

We remove all objects from the pavement and turn off any sprinklers to keep the surface dry.

Application

After cleaning the pavement with blowers, we remove any oil or gas spots from the surface. We then apply a tarconite sealer manually with brushes.

Finished Product

Leave the pavement untouched for 24 to 48 hours to allow adequate drying time.

Reactive vs. Proactive Maintenance

Performing the right kind of maintenance is essential to pavement performance and longevity. Here are the differences between reactive and preventative maintenance.

Reactive Maintenance

While reactive maintenance may save you money in the short term, it will end up costing you more in the long end.

Here are a few reasons why reactive maintenance is inferior to proactive maintenance.

Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance, on the other hand, is a strategy that saves you time and money on frequent repairs and premature replacements. Rather than trying to patch a problem that has already occurred, our team will prevent the problem from occurring at all.

These characteristics and benefits of preventative maintenance is why we recommend it to all our customers.
