Protect Your Investment
Seal Coating
The single most cost-effective thing you can do to extend asphalt life. A professional seal coat shields your pavement from water, UV damage, gasoline, and oil — adding years to its lifespan at a fraction of replacement cost.
Why Seal Coat?
Maintenance That Pays for Itself
Untreated asphalt oxidizes, fades, and becomes brittle within just a few years. Water infiltration causes cracking, and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate the damage dramatically in Illinois. A seal coat every 2–3 years is the simplest, most affordable way to protect your asphalt and keep it looking jet-black and new.
- Blocks UV rays that dry out and crack asphalt
- Seals out water before it penetrates the base
- Resists oil, gas, and chemical spills
- Restores rich black color
- Doubles the useful life of your asphalt
- Recommended every 2–3 years

How We Build Your Parking Lot
Inspection
We assess the surface for cracks or damage that need to be repaired before sealing — otherwise we'd just be sealing in the problem.
Cleaning
Surface is blown clear of debris, oil spots are treated with primer, and edges are prepared for a clean finished line.
Application
Commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealer is applied evenly by brush or squeegee for full coverage and a uniform finish.
Cure Time
We recommend keeping the surface clear for 24–48 hours to allow full curing. We'll let you know the exact timeline on your job day.
Common Questions
Seal Coating FAQ
For most residential driveways, every 2–3 years is ideal. Commercial lots with higher traffic may benefit from annual sealing. We can recommend a schedule after a quick inspection.
We recommend crack filling before sealing. Sealing over open cracks won't fix the underlying issue and could trap water. We offer crack sealing as part of a complete maintenance package.
Seal coating requires temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions to cure properly. In Illinois, we typically schedule seal coat work between May and October.
