If you manage a commercial property, HOA, or retail center in Tinton Falls, NJ, keeping your parking lot in top condition isn’t just about appearance — it’s about protecting your investment, reducing liability, and maximizing the life of your pavement.

One of the most cost-effective ways to accomplish this is asphalt sealcoating — but not all sealcoating services are created equal.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through what you need to know about:

  • The benefits of sealcoating for Tinton Falls properties

  • The different types of application systems

  • How often to sealcoat in Monmouth County

  • What to watch out for when hiring a contractor


Why Sealcoating Matters in Tinton Falls

Tinton Falls sees a wide range of seasonal conditions — from winter freeze-thaw cycles to summer UV exposure. These conditions break down your pavement’s surface over time, allowing water to penetrate and weaken the asphalt below.

Sealcoating creates a protective barrier that:

  • Slows oxidation and weathering

  • Fills minor surface voids

  • Improves appearance and curb appeal

  • Prevents water intrusion and damage

When applied properly, sealcoating can extend the life of your pavement by 3–5 years.


Sealcoating Systems: Which One is Right for You?

At FixAsphalt.com, we offer three levels of commercial-grade protection:

1. Single Coat Spray Application

Best for low-traffic areas or first-time maintenance on newer pavement.

2. Double Defense (Two-Coat Spray System)

Our most popular option. Ideal for mid-traffic properties like shopping plazas, medical offices, and schools.

3. Armor Defense (Squeegee + Spray System)

High-durability system for high-traffic areas or lots with aged pavement. The first coat is applied by squeegee to fill surface voids; the second is sprayed for a smooth finish.


When to Schedule Sealcoating in Tinton Falls

We recommend sealcoating:

  • Every 2–3 years for most commercial lots

  • In temperatures above 55°F, typically from April to October

  • After crack sealing and patching are completed

Spring and early summer are ideal — you’ll benefit from faster drying times and get ahead of peak demand.


Warning Signs of a Low-Quality Sealcoating Job

Not all sealcoating contractors deliver the same value. Be cautious if you notice:

  • Thin, watered-down material that fades in weeks

  • No surface prep or cleaning before application

  • A single quick coat offered for a large, high-traffic lot

  • Contractors showing up with plastic tote tanks and no references

A $0.15 per sq. ft. job might look good for a week — but it won’t protect your pavement.
