Professional Sealcoating

At Tabor Line Co., we provide professional sealcoating to help protect asphalt and keep your parking lot looking clean, dark, and well cared for. Sealcoating is one of the best ways to extend the life of asphalt pavement. It adds a protective layer over the surface to help defend against sun damage, water intrusion, oil spots, gas drips, oxidation, and everyday traffic wear. If your pavement is starting to look faded, dry, gray, or lightly worn, sealcoating is often the right next step.

Asphalt takes a beating every day. UV rays dry out the surface. Rain can work its way into small cracks. Oil and fuel can soften and break down the binder in the pavement. Over time, that damage leads to brittleness, raveling, cracking, and early failure. Our sealcoating service is designed to slow that process down. By sealing the surface at the right time, we help property owners protect their investment and avoid more costly asphalt repairs down the road.

What sealcoating does

Sealcoating is a protective maintenance service for asphalt pavement. It does not fix major structural problems or replace damaged asphalt, but it does create a barrier that helps preserve the surface. When applied correctly, sealcoat improves the appearance of the lot and helps reduce the effects of weather, traffic, and chemical spills.

  • Restores a rich, black finish to faded asphalt
  • Helps protect pavement from oxidation and UV exposure
  • Reduces damage from water penetration
  • Provides resistance against oil and fuel drips
  • Makes routine sweeping and cleaning easier
  • Improves curb appeal for commercial properties, HOAs, retail centers, offices, and other paved areas

Our process

We believe good results come from proper prep work and careful application. Our sealcoating process starts with a full review of the pavement condition. We look at the age of the asphalt, traffic level, existing cracks, drainage issues, surface wear, and any areas that may need repair before coating begins.

Next, we prepare the surface. This step matters. Dirt, debris, loose material, and oil spots can keep the sealer from bonding well. We clean the pavement thoroughly and address problem areas as needed. If cracks are present, we may recommend crack filling before sealcoating. If there are potholes, failed sections, or severe alligator cracking, those repairs should usually be handled first. Sealcoating works best as part of a larger asphalt maintenance plan, not as a cover-up for deeper damage.

Once the lot is properly prepped, we apply the sealcoat evenly for consistent coverage and a clean finish. We pay close attention to edges, traffic areas, and transitions so the surface looks uniform and performs the way it should. After application, the coating needs time to cure before vehicles and foot traffic return. Drying and cure time can vary based on temperature, humidity, shade, and site conditions, but we always give clear guidance so you know when the area is ready for use.

When sealcoating makes sense

Sealcoating is ideal for asphalt that is still in serviceable condition but beginning to show normal aging. A lot does not need to be badly damaged to benefit from maintenance. In fact, the best time to sealcoat is often before major visible deterioration sets in. Preventive pavement maintenance is almost always more affordable than waiting until larger repairs are needed.

You may be a good candidate for sealcoating if your asphalt:

  • Has turned from deep black to gray
  • Looks dry or weathered
  • Has minor surface cracks
  • Gets regular vehicle traffic
  • Needs a fresher, more professional appearance
  • Has already been repaired and needs ongoing protection

If the asphalt is brand new, timing matters. Fresh asphalt usually needs time to cure before sealcoating can be applied. On older pavement, condition matters more than age alone. We can inspect the surface and let you know whether it is ready now or if another service should come first.

What sealcoating does not fix

We always want customers to have the right expectations. Sealcoating is a maintenance service, not a structural repair. It will not correct base failure, major drainage issues, deep potholes, severe cracking, or uneven pavement. If those issues are present, we may recommend crack sealing, patching, striping prep, or more involved asphalt repair before sealcoating. Our goal is to give you an honest recommendation that protects your property and your budget.

Benefits for your property

A well-maintained parking lot says a lot about a property. Whether you manage a retail center, office building, apartment community, industrial site, church, school, or private roadway, the condition of your asphalt affects both appearance and long-term cost. Sealcoating helps your pavement look newer and last longer. It can also support safer, cleaner conditions by creating a smoother, more uniform surface that is easier to maintain.

For many owners and managers, the biggest advantage is value. Sealcoating is a practical way to protect asphalt before major damage sets in. It helps stretch the life of the pavement and supports a stronger overall pavement management plan. When paired with routine crack filling, parking lot striping, and periodic inspections, sealcoating can reduce the need for premature resurfacing.

FAQs

Sealcoating FAQs

Common questions we hear from property owners, managers, and business owners about protecting asphalt and getting the most from a parking lot sealcoating service.

  • What does sealcoating actually do for my asphalt?

    Sealcoating adds a protective layer over your asphalt pavement. It helps defend the surface from sun, water, oxidation, traffic wear, and spills like oil or gas. It also gives your parking lot a clean, dark finish that improves curb appeal and helps your property look well maintained.

  • How do I know if my parking lot needs sealcoating?

    If your asphalt looks faded gray, dry, rough, or has light surface cracking, it may be time for sealcoating. A lot that has lost its rich black color is often starting to oxidize. We can inspect the pavement and let you know if sealcoating is the right fit now or if crack filling or asphalt repair should be done first.

  • How often should asphalt be sealcoated?

    Most parking lots should be sealcoated about every 2 to 3 years, but traffic level, weather, and pavement condition all matter. A busy commercial lot may need attention sooner than a low-traffic area. At Tabor Line Co., we recommend service based on the actual condition of your pavement, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.

  • Can you sealcoat asphalt that already has cracks or damage?

    Sealcoating is meant to protect asphalt, not hide bigger problems. Small cracks can often be treated with crack filling before sealcoating, which helps stop water from getting into the base. If there are potholes, alligator cracking, or more serious damage, we may recommend asphalt repair first so the surface has a solid foundation.

  • How long does sealcoating take to dry, and when can we use the lot again?

    Dry time depends on temperature, humidity, sun, and airflow, but most lots need at least 24 to 48 hours before regular vehicle traffic returns. We give clear guidance before the job starts so you know what to expect. Our team also works carefully to help reduce disruption and keep your project moving as smoothly as possible.

  • Why should I hire Tabor Line Co. for sealcoating?

    We know parking lot maintenance from the ground up, and we focus on doing the job right the first time. That means proper surface prep, honest recommendations, clear communication, and workmanship you can count on. Our goal is to help you protect your asphalt, extend pavement life, and make a strong first impression on customers and tenants.
