What is asphalt sealcoating?
Sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces to shield them from damage caused by UV rays, water, and chemicals like oil or gasoline leaks. It helps extend the life of your driveway or parking lot by preventing cracks, potholes, and early degradation.
How often should driveways or parking lots be sealcoated?
For optimal protection, we recommend sealcoating asphalt surfaces every 2–3 years. However, this depends on factors such as usage, weather conditions, and the level of wear and tear the surface experiences.
What is the difference between line striping and line painting?
Line striping refers to marking parking lot lanes, crosswalks, and other traffic guides using precise techniques and high-quality paint. Line painting is a broader term, which may include decorative or utility painting of asphalt surfaces. Our striping service ensures proper alignment and compliance with ADA regulations. that
Can sealcoating fix cracks in my driveway?
Sealcoating is not designed to repair significant cracks or damage. Before sealcoating, it’s essential to repair any cracks or potholes using crack filler or patching materials. Our team can assist with repairs before applying the sealcoating layer for a seamless finish.
How long does it take for a newly sealcoated surface to dry?
Typically, sealcoated surfaces take 24–48 hours to dry completely, depending on weather conditions like temperature and humidity. During this time, we recommend keeping vehicles, pedestrians, and heavy equipment off the surface.
Why should I hire a professional for parking lot striping and maintenance?
Professional parking lot striping ensures neat, uniform, and compliant markings that improve safety and navigation for your customers. Our team at Roy G. Biv Parking Lot Sealcoating & Striping uses top-quality equipment and materials to deliver durable and professional results.
