5-Step Process for Commercial Asphalt Sealcoating Services in Columbus

1.

Site Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your pavement condition, identifying areas needing repair before sealcoating.

2.

Surface Preparation

We thoroughly clean the asphalt with high-powered blowers and wire brooms, removing debris, oil spots, and any vegetation growing in cracks or along edges.

3.

Crack Repair

We address linear cracks with hot polymer crack sealant, creating a rubberized band over each crack that prevents water penetration.

4.

Premium Seal Coat Application

We carefully “cut in” along concrete edges and curves with brushes, then apply our commercial-grade coal tar emulsion sealer in two coats using specialized spray equipment.

5.

Curing and Finishing

We ensure proper curing time (24-48 hours minimum) and apply any necessary markings or striping to complete your newly protected surface.

5-Step Process for Success With Commercial Sealcoating in Columbus, OH

Thorough Cleaning: We use industrial cleaning equipment to remove all dirt, debris, and contaminants from the surface.
Professional Crack Filling: All linear cracks are filled with commercial-grade hot rubberized polymer crack sealant before applying the main seal coat.
Quality Materials Selection: We use only premium products designed for high-traffic commercial applications.
Precision Application: Our specialized equipment ensures even application thickness across the entire pavement surface in two separate coats.
Proper Curing Protocol: We advise keeping traffic off the sealed surface for 24-48 hours to allow for complete curing, maximizing the durability and lifespan of your seal coat.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Asphalt Sealcoating

How often should commercial properties apply sealcoating?

For most commercial properties, we recommend sealcoating the season after new pavement installation and then every 3-4 years. Unlike some companies that try to oversell services, we won't recommend unnecessary annual applications or double coats that can actually damage your pavement over time.

What's the best time of year for commercial sealcoating?

The ideal time for commercial sealcoating in Columbus, OH, is late spring through early fall when temperatures are moderate.

How long does commercial sealcoating take to cure?

Sealcoating ideally requires 24-48 hours minimum to properly cure before traffic can resume. Crack sealing, however, can be driven on the same day.

Can you work around our business schedule?

Absolutely. For retail and commercial properties, we understand the importance of minimizing disruption. We can schedule work during weekends or in phases to ensure continuous access to your property.

What type of sealant do you use for commercial projects?

We use a coal tar emulsion sealer, which we believe provides superior protection compared to asphalt emulsion sealers. For crack sealing, we use hot polymer sealant rather than cold crack fillers, ensuring longer-lasting protection against water penetration.
