Extend the Life of Your Asphalt & Protect Your Investment
What Is Asphalt Sealcoating?
Asphalt sealcoating is the process of applying a protective, liquid seal to asphalt pavement to shield it from UV rays, water penetration, oil spills, oxidation, and Utah’s extreme freeze–thaw cycles. When applied correctly, sealcoating restores the surface’s appearance, slows deterioration, and significantly extends the usable life of asphalt pavement.
What Problems Sealcoating Solves
Sealcoating is recommended when asphalt is structurally sound but showing early signs of wear. It helps prevent:
- Sun damage and asphalt oxidation
- Water intrusion that leads to cracking and potholes
- Premature surface raveling
- Oil, fuel, and chemical staining
- Accelerated damage from Utah’s winter freeze cycles
Sealcoating does not fix structural asphalt failure, but it does protect good pavement from becoming a costly replacement.
Our Asphalt Sealcoating Process
We follow a proven, commercial‑grade process designed for Utah conditions—not a one‑size‑fits‑all spray approach.
1. Surface Inspection
We evaluate asphalt condition, drainage, cracking, and traffic patterns to confirm sealcoating is appropriate.
2. Surface Preparation
- Power sweeping and debris removal
- Oil spot treatment
- Crack sealing where required
Proper prep is critical—poor prep leads to early seal failure.
3. Professional Sealcoat Application
We apply a commercial-grade sealcoat using spray and/or squeegee methods based on pavement condition and layout.
4. Curing & Reopening
Sealcoat is allowed to cure properly before reopening to traffic to ensure maximum durability and finish quality.
When Should Sealcoating Be Done?
In Utah, sealcoating is best performed when:
- Asphalt is 6 months to 3 years old (initial coat)
- Weather is above 50°F and rising
- Pavement is dry and structurally sound
Most commercial lots benefit from sealcoating every 2–3 years, depending on traffic, exposure, sealcoat material, and maintenance history.
How Long Does Sealcoating Last?
When properly installed and maintained:
- Typical lifespan: 2–3 years for standard sealcoat material and up to 4-5 years if using a higher grade sealcoat (PMM).
- High-traffic areas may require more frequent maintenance
- Regular crack sealing extends sealcoat life significantly
Sealcoating Cost: What Affects the Price?
Sealcoating costs vary based on several factors:
- Sealcoat material selected
- Total square footage
- Pavement condition and prep requirements
- Crack sealing needs
- Traffic control complexity
- Number of coats applied
We provide transparent, site-specific estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Sealcoating vs. Other Asphalt Services
| Service | Purpose | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Sealcoating | Surface protection | Good pavement condition |
| Crack Sealing | Prevent water damage | Early cracking present |
| Patching | Structural repair | Localized asphalt failure |
| Resurfacing | Surface renewal | Moderate deterioration |
| Replacement | Full rebuild | Severe structural failure |
Sealcoating is a maintenance tool, not a repair solution—and using it at the right time saves money long-term.
Why Sealcoating Matters in Utah
Utah’s climate is hard on asphalt. Intense UV exposure, temperature swings, snow, ice, and deicing chemicals accelerate pavement deterioration. Sealcoating acts as a sacrificial barrier that protects asphalt from these elements and slows aging dramatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long before traffic can return?
Typically 24 hours for vehicles, depending on temperature and humidity.
Can sealcoating fix cracks or potholes?
No. Cracks and surface failures must be repaired before sealcoating.
Does sealcoating make pavement slippery?
No—when applied correctly, sealcoating improves surface uniformity without reducing traction.
Is sealcoating environmentally safe?
We use commercial-grade materials appropriate for Utah regulations and project requirements.
