Maintaining a parking lot or large asphalt area is a big responsibility. Especially during inclement weather, keeping the surface in good condition requires regular maintenance and care. Commercial sealcoating is an excellent solution for businesses looking to keep their asphalt surfaces in great shape and save money over time. 

What is Sealcoating?

Sealcoating is a protective liquid coating applied to asphalt surfaces. It works like a sealant, protecting the asphalt from damaging UV rays, vehicle fluids, and other elements that cause cracking and potholes. UV protection prevents your pavement from fading or drying out, which can lead to cracking, crumbling, and premature failure. Without sealcoating, you could end up needing extensive repairs or replacements. 

Sealcoating also prevents water infiltration, which can lead to further damage. The coat of sealer fills small cracks and keeps your pavement looking great over time. With a fresh sealcoat every four or five years, you can not only improve the appearance of your asphalt, but you can also continue to protect the surface from harsh chemicals and damaging weather. 

How Does Commercial Sealcoating Save Money?

Commercial sealcoating is a cost-effective way to maintain your asphalt. With commercial sealcoating, you can maintain and extend the lifespan of your asphalt surface.

Over the long run, sealcoating prevents costly repairs and replacements due to UV rays or water infiltration damage. Additionally, sealcoated surfaces are easier to clean, saving money on regular maintenance costs. When lots are not properly maintained, you also run the risk of lawsuits from injuries or accidents that happen on your property. For example, pot holes create a hazard for individuals walking by and potentially tripping. If your lines are washed away and no longer visible, it can create a car accident in which you are liable. With proper maintenance, you can avoid legal action, saving you thousands.

In addition, sealcoating improves the overall appearance of your pavement surface. A well-maintained lot will create a good first impression for customers and visitors. This can have long-term advantages in terms of customer engagement, loyalty, and efficiency. 

Bottom Line: Commercial Sealcoating is a Good Investment

It's easy to get overwhelmed by the costs of maintaining an asphalt surface. But commercial sealcoating saves money in the long run and, when done regularly, can keep your pavement looking great for years. So, if you're looking for an affordable way to protect your parking lot, consider investing in a good quality sealcoat.
