How Often Should a Parking Lot Be Sealcoated?
Sealcoating is an essential maintenance step to protect your parking lot from damage and extend its lifespan. Knowing how often to sealcoat can save you money and keep your lot looking great.
Factors Influencing Sealcoating Frequency
The frequency at which a parking lot should be sealcoated depends on several important factors, including usage, climate, and the existing condition of the asphalt. High-traffic commercial lots, such as those at shopping centers or office buildings, typically require sealcoating every two to three years to maintain optimal protection. Conversely, lots with lighter traffic might extend that timeframe to three to four years.
Harsh weather conditions like extreme heat, heavy rain, or snow can accelerate asphalt deterioration, meaning more frequent sealcoating might be necessary. At Paving Oliva & Associates LLC, we assess your parking lot’s unique circumstances to recommend the ideal sealcoating schedule. Proper timing prevents costly repairs and helps maintain a smooth, visually appealing surface that reflects positively on your business.
Benefits of Regular Sealcoating and Professional Service
Regular sealcoating acts as a protective barrier against UV rays, water infiltration, oil spills, and everyday wear and tear, all of which can cause cracking and potholes over time. Paving Oliva & Associates LLC emphasizes the importance of professional application to ensure even coverage and effective sealing. Our experienced team prepares the surface meticulously before applying sealcoat, allowing it to bond properly and maximize durability.
Sealcoating not only improves the aesthetic appeal of your parking lot but also extends its lifespan by preventing damage that would otherwise require expensive repairs or full replacement.
