How We Sealcoat and Crack Seal

Surface cleaning and preparation

Sealcoat only bonds to a clean surface. We remove dirt, debris and vegetation from the pavement and edges, and treat oil and fuel spots before any sealer goes down.

Crack sealing before sealcoat

Cracks are cleaned out and sealed before the sealcoat is applied. Sealing cracks first keeps water out of the base, which is what causes potholes and failed areas.

One-coat and two-coat applications

A single coat can work for lightly used driveways. Parking lots, drive aisles and other higher-traffic areas usually get two coats for better coverage and wear. We recommend the right approach after looking at the pavement.

Parking lots and private roads

We sealcoat commercial and HOA parking lots, private roads and long driveways.

Restriping and ADA markings

After the sealcoat cures we restripe stalls, arrows and fire lanes, and lay out ADA stalls, access aisles and symbols.

Weather and curing

Sealcoat needs dry pavement, no rain in the forecast and suitable temperatures to cure. Traffic stays off the surface until it has cured, usually about 24 hours for vehicles, depending on conditions. We schedule around the weather.

When sealing is not enough

Sealcoat protects pavement that is still structurally sound. Asphalt with widespread alligator cracking, potholes, soft spots or drainage problems needs repair, patching or an overlay first, and in some cases full replacement. We will tell you which one your pavement needs.
