What is it?
Sealcoating involves applying a thin coat of coal tar pitch or asphalt cement mixed with fillers, water, and additives. Our experienced crew spreads this specially-mixed sealant over your parking lot, either with sprayers, squeegees, or brushes, depending on the condition of your property. This service is a great way to seal in crack filler or protect pavement after patching repairs.

How does it work?
The sealant creates a double surface layer resistant to water seepage, sun-induced oxidation, petroleum spills, and other environmental factors. Protection against these damaging elements significantly extends the pavement’s lifespan, preserving its structural integrity and appearance.

The Benefits of Sealcoating
- Enhanced Curb Appeal: The smooth, dark appearance of a freshly-sealed paved surface is attractive, and a well-maintained parking lot creates a positive first impression for customers and tenants, boosting the overall appearance of your property.
- Effortless Maintenance: Sealcoating results in a smooth and even surface, simplifying the cleaning process and reducing pavement maintenance and asphalt repair costs.
- Safety Enhancement: Parking lot sealants improve safety by providing better visibility of pavement markings, enhancing traffic flow, and reducing the risk of accidents. This benefit is especially crucial for commercial properties with high vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
- Cost Efficiency: Studies from the University of Nevada at Reno’s Pavement Coatings Technology Center highlight that sealing asphalt pavement every three years can save an average of $152,500 for a commercial parking lot over 15 years. This translates to a 48% cost reduction compared to unmaintained lots, making sealcoating a prudent investment for long-term savings.
With the current fluctuations in oil prices, the potential savings might even surpass these estimates. Trust Asphalt Care Inc. to provide expert sealcoating services that preserve your asphalt’s integrity and maximize its longevity.
