Sealcoating, crack repair, and patching are economical maintenance methods designed to extend the life of your asphalt. Motor oil and all petroleum based chemicals along with salt and oxidation from sunlight, accelerate the useful life of asphalt. Deploying a systematic program of sealcoating and asphalt maintenance will keep water from penetrating the asphalt and can extend the life cycle of pavement up to 300%! While protecting your pavement, asphalt sealcoating creates an attractive appearance keeping your property looking it’s best.

To complete your project we will need access to the entire area to be sealcoated. Per customer request, large parking areas can be completed in sections. Areas with locked gates or fenced areas may require personnel to provide access. Lawn sprinklers must be deactivated for the duration of the project.

The fresh sealer must remain blockaded and allowed to cure for approximately 24 hours depending on the weather conditions. Sometimes immediately following a sealcoating project, vehicles may leave scuffs or “power steering marks”. This usually happens when a driver vehicle backs out of a parking stall, stops, and turns the steering wheel while standing still. These marks wear out in a week or two and should not require any additional work.

Asphalt lasts longer when sealed every two to four years. New asphalt will be best protected if sealed after the first winter. Many commercial properties sealcoat asphalt on a two-year cycle. This predictive maintenance practice minimizes repairs while promoting a safe and aesthetically pleasing driveway, roadway, recreational path or parking lot. Many factors are considered when determining the right sealing frequency. Traffic volume, weather conditions, exposure to deteriorating elements and especially the application method used when applying the sealer, are key factors affecting asphalt longevity. Tustins Asphalt assesses all factors and can propose a pavement maintenance plan tailored to your needs and budget.

Depending on the ambient temperature, usually 24 hours.

In preparation for sealcoating, Tustins Asphalt staff cleans all pavement surfaces of vegetation and dirt thoroughly with high power blowers. For heavy vegetation and dirt-covered areas, we use high powered edgers, weed trimmers and blowers to prep the asphalt for optimum adhesion.

Depending on weather, approximately 24-48 hours. We can schedule night and weekend commercial work to minimize downtime.

Absolutely. Our ability to clearly sequence work on large commercial lots allows for continuous, partial use as sections are completed. Tustins Asphalt staff place safety cones, line tape and directional aids to keep traffic flowing in a safe and efficient manner.

Depending on the surface and customer preference. Asphalt sealer is applied by broom or pressurized spray methods
