Sealcoating

Protect Your Asphalt, Extend Pavement Life.
Add Curb Appeal.

What Is Sealcoating and Why It Matters

Sealcoating is a protective liquid layer applied to asphalt that seals the surface from water, oil, salt, UV rays, and everyday wear. Once cured, it restores the deep black finish of your pavement while creating a barrier that slows down oxidation and surface breakdown. Think of it as a protective layer that keeps your asphalt from drying out and deteriorating prematurely. Unprotected asphalt slowly becomes brittle, faded, and vulnerable to cracking, potholes, and structural damage. Sealcoating dramatically slows this process by blocking moisture intrusion and surface erosion before it can reach the base layers of your pavement. Regular sealcoating extends the life of your asphalt, reduces repair costs over time, and keeps your property looking professional and well maintained.

What We Deliver on Every Job

Thorough Surface Prep

We remove dirt, debris, and vegetation from the pavement to ensure the sealcoat bonds properly and cures evely for long-lasting protection.

Added Traction With Sand

We mix sand into every application to improve slip resistance and ensure safe traction in wet and dry conditions.

Premium Sealcoat Application

We apply a high-quality commercial-grade sealcoat designed to protect against water intrusion, oxidation, fuel spills, and harsh Michigan weather.

Uniform, Professional Finish

Our application process creates an even appearance that restores a deep black color and delivers clean, professional curb appeal.

Our Process

Surface Prep

Sealcoating requires a clean surface to adhere effectively, making cleaning the most crucial step. We begin by removing grass from all cracks and edges. Next, we use wire brushes to scrub off any dirt. Lastly, we use high-powered blowers to remove all remaining dirt and debris.

Apply Premium Sealer

While sealcoating provides excellent protection and aesthetics for asphalt, it is not suitable for concrete. We carefully brush the edges near concrete to prevent over spray. After this, we spray the rest of the parking lot to ensure an even and thorough application.

Finishing Touches

Once the sealcoat is applied, the next step is to barricade the parking lot. The sealcoat takes upwards of 24 hours to dry, sometimes longer depending on time of year. It is crucial to avoid driving on the asphalt before the sealcoat has dried to prevent tracking and damage from tires.

FAQ

How Long Does Sealcoating Last?

On average, sealcoating lasts 2-3 years depending on traffic volume, weather, and overall pavement conditions. Commercial lots may need sealcoating more often due to high traffic while residential properties last longer between applications.

How Long Does Sealcoating Take to Dry?

Sealcoat is typically dry to the touch within a few hours, but we recommend keeping all traffic off the surface for a minimum of 24 hours to ensure proper drying and durability.

Do I Need to Seal my Asphalt After It's Paved?

No. New asphalt should cure for several months before being sealed. This allows volitiles in the pavement to fully evaporate and the asphalt to properly cure.

Do I Still Need to Fix Potholes and Cracks if the Lot is Sealed?

Sealcoating is a protective treatment, not a repair. Cracks and damaged areas should be properly repair before sealing to prevent those issues from continuing beneath the surface.

Will Sealcoating Make my Pavement Slippery?

When sealcoat is applied properly with the correct amount of sand added to the mix, it will not become slippery under normal wet or dry conditions. The silica sand creates traction on the surface and is a critical part of a safe, professional sealcoating application. Without it, sealed pavement can become slick during rain.
