Sealcoating —
the sun loses this round.

Commercial-grade sealer applied to protect asphalt from the two things the Central Valley has in abundance: UV and heat. Valley sun oxidizes unsealed asphalt gray and brittle years ahead of schedule; a proper sealcoat cycle keeps the binder flexible and the surface black, and costs a fraction of the repaving it postpones.

How the work goes down.

Surface prep first — cleaning, oil-spot priming, and crack treatment — because sealer over dirt is money over nothing. Two coats standard, sprayed or squeegeed to match the surface, striping re-laid after cure. For parking lots we phase sections so the property never fully closes.

Sealcoat is part of the full pavement-maintenance program — see Maintenance & Repair for how the pieces fit together over a surface’s life, or our Crafco materials counter if you run your own crews.
