Asphalt Sealcoating
Squeegee Brush – Hand
What is sealcoating?
Sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt pavement, much like "sunblock" for your parking lot. It shields against water, oil, UV damage, and other elements while enhancing curb appeal with a deep satin black finish. Sealcoat can be applied using various methods, including brush coat, spray coat, or squeegee coat, each offering unique benefits. Sometimes, these methods are combined for optimal results on the same property.
Regularly scheduled parking lot maintenance, including sealcoating, can significantly extend the lifespan of your asphalt, potentially doubling its life expectancy. This approach saves money over time, as sealcoating is far more cost-effective per square foot compared to extensive asphalt repairs.
Sealcoating Application Methods
Each method of sealcoat applications have their own set of advantages. Different types of methods can be mixed and matched depending on your project requirements.
Spray Coat
Squeegee Coat – Machine
The spray method allows for better control over the amount of material used and ensures a more precise application. However, spraying sealant is often misunderstood if the operator 'thins' the material or applies it at a low spread rate.
The benefits of using a squeegee application are that it effectively gets the sealer into all the nooks and crannies of the bare asphalt. For maximum effectiveness, we can apply a base squeegee coat followed by a second layer using a spray application.
The brush method is used in confined areas where our equipment rigs can't reach, providing maximum control and eliminating overspray from wand applications. Typically, we use the brush method for all surrounding edges of the property, effectively "cutting in."
The satin black color gives the lot a new, uniform finish across the entire surface. Paired with our line striping and pavement marking solutions, we can enhance the roadside image of your brick-and-mortar storefront.
Enhances Curb Appeal
Sealcoating is the most economical way to protect your asphalt pavement. Costing just pennies per square foot, periodic sealcoating can save you thousands over the lifespan of your asphalt lot compared to premature repaving expenses.

Provides Protection
The sealcoating treatment minimizes exposure to UV rays and liquids by filling surface gaps, reducing the depth to which oil and gas can penetrate the pavement. It also protects against the sun's drying and discoloring effects on the pavement.
Ease of Maintenance
Asphalt sealer can be applied quickly and efficiently, requiring only 18-36 hours of drying (curing) time before traffic can resume. If closing the lot is not feasible, we can apply the sealer in sections to maximize convenience for you and your customers, keeping your business operational without downtime.
