Sealcoat Application
Expert Sealcoat Application for Maximum Pavement Protection
Professional sealcoat application is more than just spreading material—it's a precise process that determines the quality and longevity of your pavement protection. Our expert application techniques ensure uniform coverage, proper thickness, and optimal adhesion to deliver superior asphalt protection that lasts for years.
Why Professional Application Matters
Proper application affects every aspect of sealcoat performance:
- Uniform Coverage: Eliminates thin spots that lead to premature failure
- Proper Thickness: 3-5 mils for optimal protection without waste
- Optimal Adhesion: Ensures bond between sealcoat and prepared surface
- Clean Application: No overspray on curbs, buildings, or landscaping

Frequently Asked Questions
Sealcoating refers to the overall protective process, while sealcoat application specifically involves the professional application of the sealant material using specialized equipment for uniform coverage and optimal protection.
Professional sealcoat application typically ranges from 3-5 mils (0.003-0.005 inches) thick. Too thin provides inadequate protection; too thick can cause cracking and improper curing.
We use commercial-grade spray systems with precise pressure control, squeegee machines for hand application in tight spaces, and specialized applicators for uniform coverage on all surface types.
Application time varies by project size. A typical residential driveway takes 2-4 hours, while commercial parking lots may take 1-3 days. We provide specific timelines during our assessment.
Yes, but the existing surface must be properly cleaned and prepared. We evaluate existing sealcoat condition and may recommend removal if it's peeling or in poor condition.
Ideal conditions are temperatures between 50-90°F, no rain for 24 hours before/after, and low humidity. We monitor weather forecasts closely and schedule accordingly.
