Stop! Are You Looking for the Cheapest Sealcoating Price? (Then Keep Scrolling) 

.    

If these examples above look acceptable to you, there's no need to waste your time here. There are plenty of "quick and cheap" seal coating companies out there. Just do a quick search on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Of course, they aren't going to be insured or have the legal workforce; they will need a deposit, of course, because no supplier is going to give them credit.  After they cash the check... maybe they will show up to do the work several weeks later.

But if you want your parking lot to look great (like the one below) AND last for years, keep reading. We might be a fit.

Fix Asphalt: Beyond the Basic "BID" - Understanding Your Parking Lot's Needs

At Fix Asphalt, we believe in informed decisions. That's why our seal coating quotes are more than just a number. We take the time to thoroughly assess your parking lot's condition before recommending any services. Here's how our in-depth survey process works:

1. Comprehensive Inspection: Our experienced technician will conduct a detailed inspection of your parking lot, looking for factors like:

• Surface Issues: We analyze the integrity of the asphalt surface and note any areas prone to water infiltration or cracking.
• Drainage Systems: We evaluate your existing drainage system to ensure it's effectively directing water away from the pavement.

2. Data Collection:

• Measurements: We will calculate your parking lot square footage using our AI measuring tool and measure the size and severity of existing cracks to determine the most appropriate crack-filling techniques.  In addition, we will assess any sections requiring asphalt repair, calculate the square footage, and develop a scope for the best repair methods (ie: removal and replacement vs. infrared asphalt restoration) 
  
• Photos: We take detailed photos of specific areas that may require attention to provide a visual reference for the quote with our highly detailed site evaluation.

  Don't Let Small Cracks Become Big Problems: Crack Sealing for NJ Parking Lots

   

  
  

  Here at Fix Asphalt, we understand the importance of proactive maintenance for your New Jersey parking lot. Cracks in your asphalt, no matter how small, can quickly turn into major headaches if left unaddressed.

  Why Crack Sealing Matters in NJ:

  • Freeze-thaw cycles: New Jersey's winters can wreak havoc on your asphalt. Water that seeps into cracks expands when it freezes, causing them to widen and deepen.
  • Water infiltration: Water trapped in cracks weakens the asphalt base, leading to potholes and further deterioration.
  • Safety hazards: Uneven surfaces and large cracks pose safety risks for pedestrians and vehicles.

  Fix Asphalt's Crack Sealing Process:

  At Fix Asphalt, we take crack sealing seriously. Our process ensures a long-lasting solution:

  1. Crack Evaluation: Our experienced technicians will thoroughly assess the cracks in your parking lot, evaluating their:

  * **Depth:** Deeper cracks require special techniques to ensure proper filling.
  * **Width:** The width of the crack determines the appropriate application method.
  * **Location:** Cracks near the edges or high-traffic areas require extra attention.
  

  2. Crack Cleaning: Using specialized equipment, we thoroughly clean debris and dirt from the cracks. This ensures optimal adhesion of the sealant.

  3. Hot Rubberized Crack Sealing: We utilize high-quality, hot rubberized crack sealant. This material offers superior flexibility and adhesion compared to traditional options, effectively sealing cracks and preventing water infiltration.

  4. Curing Time: We ensure the sealant has sufficient curing time to form a strong, durable bond with the asphalt.

  Benefits of Fix Asphalt's Crack Sealing:

  • Extends Pavement Life: Proper crack sealing prevents further damage and significantly increases the lifespan of your asphalt parking lot.
  • Saves Money: Timely crack sealing is a cost-effective way to avoid costly repairs down the road.
  • Improved Safety: A smooth, crack-free surface reduces the risk of accidents and injuries.
  • Enhanced Curb Appeal: A well-maintained parking lot creates a positive first impression for tenants and visitors.

New Jersey Asphalt Sealcoating

A Quick Note On What Sealcoating WON'T Do--

Sealcoating an asphalt parking lot that's been neglected for 10-15 years is like putting a small band-aid on a severe wound. You know, the kind that needs stitches. It may look fine for a short while, but there won't be any structural value or real protection happening.

Unfortunately, this happens far too often with sub-par contractors. They claim sealcoating will extend the life of your deteriorating asphalt lot a couple of years, when what you may really need is full-on pavement reconstruction, not just a pretty black coat. Sealcoating doesn't resurface asphalt, and it doesn't level or fix low spots.

One thing to note is that sealcoats are different than Type I, II & III slurry seals / microsurfacing, which all use a much coarser aggregate filler and are designed for use on high speed areas with straight rolling traffic.

I should mention that Coal Tar Emulsion Sealer is banned in some U.S. states due to environmental concerns. This trend toward environmentally friendly alternatives is likely to continue, something I can certainly stand behind!

So, How Is Sealcoat Applied?

Sealcoat is applied directly onto the surface of a (recently cleaned) asphalt pavement. It can be applied using rubber squeegees, brooms, or mechanical spray, often a combination of the aforementioned applications. An example here would be that the first coat of sealcoat is applied via squeegee, and the second coat is applied by spray.

When it comes to Asphalt Emulsion Sealer, we like squeegees and think they offer the best durability.

Examples below of spray application (left) and squeegee application (right)

How Long Does Asphalt Sealcoating Take To Complete?

Most jobs take two coats, which requires 24-48 hours of curing before vehicles are allowed back onto the surface. 

Before a seal coating job, the asphalt is thoroughly cleaned using sweeping methods and/or blowers. An unclean surface will cause poor adhesion.

Once the surface is clean, the seal coat mix is applied at about 50 square feet per gallon for a two-coat application.

How Much Does Sealcoating Cost?

Using Coal Tar or Asphalt Emulsion Sealer, the average price to seal coat your asphalt surface ranges from $0.20 - $0.35 per square foot. Several factors can affect the seal coating price:

• Mobilizations: The number of phases the project can complete to minimize disruption to your customers/tenants.

• Cleaning & Preparation: How dirty is the parking lot, and how much cleaning will be involved? Walk behind air blowers and steel wire hand brooms. The pavement sealer requires asphalt to be 100% clean to adhere/perform properly. The amount of oil spots that require preparation and priming with a latex-based oil spot primer.

• Layout Of The Parking Lot: Wide, open square asphalt parking lots and interior roadways without many landscape islands, turns, and other chopped-up areas. When pavement sealer can be applied with a distributor truck spray bar making a 10’ pass at a time versus a hand-held spray wand applying sealer in a 3’ pass at a time.

• Size Of The Asphalt Parking Lot To Be Sealcoated: All things being equal (Clean Parking Lot, 10 miles from office, etc), theoretically it takes the same amount of time for a 4-person sealcoating crew to sealcoat a 15,000 sq ft open Burger King parking lot working in sections as it does to sealcoat a 60,000 sq ft closed office building parking lot on a Saturday.

With the rising cost of Coal Tar and Asphalt Emulsion raw materials, fuel, insurance rates, etc., if you receive prices for seal coating under $0.18 square feet / $1.62 square yard, you will most likely receive a sub-standard project when it is completed.

How Can A Contractor Cut Corners?

Here Are A Few Ways:

• The seal coating contractor can just apply one coat of pavement sealer instead of two

• The seal coating contractor can dilute the material with excessive water, not mixing latex or silica sand with the pavement sealer.

• The seal coating contractor can employ low-cost labor found at day labor organization locations (Keep in mind if a person working on your property gets injured and is not covered by workman’s compensation insurance-
  YOU MAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR ALL THEIR MEDICAL EXPENSES

A parking lot preventative maintenance plan (PMP), which involves seal coating and hot rubberized crack sealing, is the ABSOLUTE best investment a property or facility manager can make. $0.25 cents per square foot spent TODAY will save $4.00 - $5.00 per square foot 10–15 years from now.

How Long Does Sealcoating Last For?

Proper timing of seal coating will enable you to extend the life of the asphalt by 300%. By seal coating within 12-18 months after asphalt installation, you will seal in the essential binder of the hot mix asphalt, which is the glue that holds the stone and sand together for a smooth asphalt surface that is easy to sweep and will aid in melting snow and ice faster.

“Ok, I seal coated the parking lot 12 months after it was paved, everything should be okay now, correct?”

Would you buy a new car with a perfect metallic paint finish, wax it one time, and then never wax it again? Probably not.

Seal coating should be scheduled on a 3-5 year rotation.

How Does FixAsphalt Do Sealcoating?

The below video showcases our unique, consultative approach to seal coating projects.

Since 2001, our company has applied millions of gallons of pavement sealer and is committed to providing you with not only the highest-quality workmanship in the industry but also straightforward recommendations of the proper applications for your specific project.

95% of seal coating/pavement maintenance contractors are not providing quality work or long-lasting product application. Our parking lot consultants are trained to help property managers identify these inferior applications. We encourage them to contact the manufacturer or certain cooperative distributors to ascertain how the bidding contractor mixes their pavement sealer. They find 7 times out of 10, the contractor is mixing the concentrate sealer with only water. To add insult to injury, water dilution ratios far exceed what the manufacturer’s recommendations!

We're also the most technologically advanced asphalt & concrete contractor in the Mid-Atlantic Market (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware & Maryland). We provide everything from a dedicated video channel with live drone videos of your project in progress to daily work-in-progress pictures, all uploaded into your dedicated client portal.
