What Is the Best Way to Sealcoat a Parking Lot?<br/>Which Sealcoat Technique Is Best for Parking Lots? <br/>How Should a Parking Lot Be Sealcoated?

Sealcoating is essential for protecting your parking lot and extending its lifespan. At Pavement Striping, we provide expert guidance on the best methods to achieve a high-quality sealcoat application.

Preparation and Cleaning

Proper preparation is the foundation of a successful sealcoating job. Pavement Striping emphasizes the importance of thoroughly cleaning the parking lot surface before applying sealcoat. This involves removing dirt, debris, and any existing loose material using a power broom or pressure washer. Ensuring that the surface is clean allows the sealcoat to adhere properly, resulting in a more effective and durable protective layer.


Additionally, any cracks or potholes should be repaired before sealcoating. Filling these imperfections with a suitable patching material prevents them from affecting the sealcoat's performance and helps create a smooth, even surface. Pavement Striping’s comprehensive preparation process ensures that your parking lot is ready for sealcoating, maximizing the benefits of the protective layer and extending the lifespan of your pavement.

Application and Curing

The application process is crucial for achieving a high-quality sealcoat. Pavement Striping uses advanced equipment to apply a uniform layer of sealcoat to the parking lot. The sealant should be applied in thin, even coats, ensuring complete coverage and avoiding puddling. It's essential to allow adequate drying time between coats to ensure proper adhesion and effectiveness. Typically, sealcoat needs 24 to 48 hours to cure fully, depending on weather conditions. During this time, the parking lot should be kept free of traffic and debris to ensure a smooth, durable finish.


Pavement Striping’s professional application techniques and attention to detail help achieve a long-lasting sealcoat that protects your pavement from environmental damage and enhances its appearance. By following these best practices, you ensure a high-quality finish and maximize the benefits of sealcoating.
