In our climate, the preparation of your parking lot is just as important than the top seal coat. These are some of the “must dos” in preparation for seal coating.
1. Deep Cleaning and Debris Removal
We don’t just use a leaf blower. To get a chemical bond, we use high-output industrial blowers and steel-wire power brooms where needed.
The Goal: Removing the “fines” (micro-dust) and dirt that settle into the asphalt’s pores. If those pores are clogged, the sealer just sits on top instead of soaking in.
2. Oil Spot Neutralization
Gas, oil, and grease are asphalt’s worst enemies—they’re petroleum-based, so they literally eat the binder. Sealer will not stick to an oil stain.
The Process: We scrub the spots with a heavy-duty degreaser, then apply a petro-seal primer. This acts as a bridge, locking the oil down so the new sealer can actually bond to the surface.
3. Crack Sealing (The “Waterproofing” Phase)
Before the sealer goes down, we handle the structural gaps. We use a hot-applied rubberized crack sealant.
The Benefit: This stops water from getting under the pavement, which is the #1 cause of “alligatoring” and base failure. We seal the cracks so the sealer can finish the job.
4. Edge Trimming
We take a spade or a power edger to the grass line. Overgrown grass hides the edge of the asphalt, and if we don’t trim it back, you get an uneven, sloppy finish.
The Result: A crisp, clean line that shows the property owner we didn’t cut corners.

The most common sealcoating material used is Seal Master’s master seal material. This seal coting material has the least amount of aggregate and will work well for most parking lots. However parking lots with a higher degree of degrading asphalt need to use higher aggregate material such as Seal Masters PMM or Liquid Road. We will advise you on what will work best for you present parking lot condition.

What is the process to seal coat the parking lot?
To start prepping your parking lot for ceiling we must clear any excess debris off the parking lot. We will use air blowers to blow debris off to the side areas where we will not be sealcoating. The best blower to use is a little Wonder with a Honda engine. After blown clean we will survey the parking lot for any oil degraded spots. Parking lot maintenance best practice requires us to check to ensure the new sealant sticks. To do this we must prep seal those spots with prep sealing material. We do this by applying and brushing into the surface with a broom to ensure good penetration. Then we wait till the preparation is dry before spraying seal coating material. A spray of seal coat is deposited to evenly disperse the material over the parking lot. If you are looking for a more textured finish you can use brushes to spread the sealcoating material on the asphalt. Finally we will use squeegees or brushes around the edges of your parking lot instead of spraying in order to not overspray on concrete sidewalks or other fixtures around your asphalt.

Premium Asphalt Sealcoating & Pavement Preservation
If your parking lot is looking gray, weathered and is cracking? Your pavement is the very first thing your customer will notice when driving in. A neglected lot can not only reflect poorly on your business it will lead to expensive, full-depth repairs. Professional Sealcoating is the most effective preventative maintenance strategy to protect your investment, enhance curb appeal, and effectively double the lifespan of your asphalt surfaces.
Why Sealcoating is Essential
Asphalt is a flexible pavement, but it is naturally porous. Without a protective barrier, it is under constant attack from the elements. Our high-performance sealants prevent:
Oxidation: Intense UV rays break down the asphalt binder, turning it brittle and gray.
Water Intrusion: Rain seeps into hairline cracks, eroding the sub-base and creating potholes.
Chemical Damage: Oil, salt, and gasoline spills dissolve the surface, causing soft spots.
Our industrial-grade coatings act as a UV Blocking waterproof shield, helping to lock out moisture while restoring that rich, “jet-black” finish that makes your commercial property look brand new and inviting.
Our Comprehensive Multi-Step Process
We don’t just “paint” your lot; we provide a structural defense. Our expert team follows a rigorous professional process:
Industrial Cleaning: We use high-pressure blowers and wire brushing to ensure maximum sealer adhesion.
Structural Crack Filling: We seal gaps using hot-applied rubberized filler to stop water at the source.
Precision Application: We apply two heavy coats of fortified sealer for maximum friction and durability.
ADA-Compliant Striping: We finish with crisp, high-visibility line marking to ensure pedestrian safety. If your property requires ADA signage, we are experts at laying out the proper dimension for to meet set goverment standards
