Besides refreshing the look of your pavement, the sealer protects asphalt pavements from the destructive elements of weather, gas, oil, antifreeze, and many other chemicals that could damage the pavement.

Asphalt pavements should be seal-coated every one to two years. The amount of traffic is the deciding factor. Surfaces that receive light traffic like home driveways require re-coating less frequently than parking lots receiving moderate to heavy traffic.

All brands of pavement sealer are definitely NOT EQUAL! We solely use Sealmaster products as they offer the best quality, finish, and durability in the industry. Rest assured, you will be receiving the best product and not some inferior brand.

Newly paved asphalt surfaces should not be seal-coated until they have had sufficient time to cure. Curing allows the excess oils that are always present in new asphalt pavements to diminish through a process called oxidation. This process can take as little as 60 days or as much as 90 days, depending on the percentage of oil present in the new pavement.

It is not necessary for you to stay at home on the day that work is scheduled. Just be sure that there are no vehicles, etc. left on the work surface and that any automatic sprinklers are deactivated the night before work is scheduled. We will perform the work as discussed, and we will tie barricade tape across the entrance of the newly coated area when finished.

No, pavement sealer will not make the surface slippery. Silica sand is mixed in with our pavement sealer at a rate of 3 pounds of sand per gallon of pavement sealer, resulting in an improved slip-resistant surface. Not all contractors use this type of mix, so be sure to ask.

Pavement sealer should only be applied when the surface temperature is 50 degrees and rising. Water should be kept from entering the newly sealcoated surface until it has had time to completely dry; therefore, obtaining an accurate weather forecast is essential.

We take full responsibility for obtaining an accurate weather forecast. If the forecast is unfavorable, we will call you to reschedule for another day. Furthermore, if the forecast turns out to be incorrect and your coating is damaged by rainfall before it has had time to completely dry, we will repair any damaged areas or re-coat the entire area at NO EXTRA CHARGE!

Pavement sealer can be applied either by hand or by spraying. We usually apply the pavement sealer by hand (using a nylon brush applicator) on smaller areas such as home driveways. Spraying of pavement sealer is usually reserved for larger, open areas such as parking lots and roadways. Either method will result in a quality, long-lasting coating when done properly.

We usually recommend staying off a newly seal-coated surface for 30 hours.

No; pavement sealer will not permanently adhere to concrete or cement surfaces.

No; pavement sealer will not fill cracks in the pavement. Crack repairs must be performed before the sealcoating is applied.

No, pavement sealer will not fill depressions or holes in the asphalt pavement.

The pavement sealer will not adhere to oil stains unless the stain is treated with an oil spot primer.

Scuffing of the newly seal-coated surface may occur on very hot days when the temperature rises above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Scuffing is normal and temporary, usually occurring within the first month after the sealcoating has been applied. The best way to minimize scuffing is to be sure that your vehicle is in motion before turning the steering wheel.

One coating of pavement sealer is sufficient for the average home driveway. Two coatings of pavement sealer are recommended on most parking lots receiving moderate to heavy traffic. A third coating of pavement sealer is recommended on parking lot entrances and roadways where excessive wear occurs due to constant turning and excessive use.

There are many different ways to plan work on a business parking area. Much depends on the size of the area and the number of access points available to enter the building. We will consult with you and develop a plan that meets your satisfaction.

The larger the work area, the more likely it is that we could perform the work in separate sections.

Yes; we do schedule work on weekends and holidays. Minimal disruption of your business operations is a major priority. We realize that weekends and holidays may be the only times when you can close your parking area in order to give us access.

Yes; we will provide traffic cones and barricade tape to ensure that the work area is properly blocked off.

We can usually have your parking lot re-opened to traffic the day after work is completed, weather permitting. Foot traffic can usually be permitted within 10 hours of application of pavement sealer, depending on the drying conditions that exist on the day that work is performed.

Parking areas that receive moderate to heavy traffic should receive two coats of pavement sealer. Sometimes a third coat of pavement sealer is necessary on entrances and traffic lanes where excessive turning and use take place.
