Question 1

How much does sealcoating cost?

Accepted Answer

Sealcoating costs typically range from $0.15-$0.35 per square foot for residential driveways and $0.12-$0.25 per square foot for large commercial parking lots. A standard 1,000 square foot driveway averages $150-$350. Factors affecting price include surface condition, number of coats, crack sealing needs, and accessibility. Commercial projects often receive volume discounts. We provide free detailed estimates.

Question 2

How often should asphalt be sealcoated?

Accepted Answer

Asphalt should be sealcoated every 2-3 years in North Texas. New asphalt should wait 6-12 months before first sealcoating to allow proper curing. High-traffic commercial lots may need annual sealcoating. Regular sealcoating extends pavement life by 2-3X, protects against UV damage, prevents water intrusion, and maintains professional appearance. We recommend inspection every 2 years to determine optimal timing.

Question 3

How long does sealcoat take to dry?

Accepted Answer

Sealcoat typically dries in 4-8 hours depending on temperature and humidity. We recommend waiting 24 hours before light vehicle traffic and 48 hours for full curing. Hot, dry weather accelerates drying, while cool or humid conditions extend drying time. We schedule work when weather forecasts show no rain for 24 hours. Two-coat applications require drying between coats.

Question 4

What is the best time of year for sealcoating in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Spring (April-June) and fall (September-November) are ideal for sealcoating in North Texas with warm days and low humidity. Temperatures should be above 50°F and rising with no rain forecasted for 24 hours. We avoid extreme summer heat (over 95°F) which causes rapid drying and application issues. Winter work is limited to mild days. We monitor weather closely and schedule for optimal conditions.

Question 5

Does sealcoating fix cracks?

Accepted Answer

Sealcoating does NOT fix cracks—it protects the existing surface. Cracks must be filled with hot rubberized crack filler before sealcoating. We inspect your pavement and perform necessary crack sealing as part of our preparation process. Filling cracks prevents water intrusion that causes further damage. Combined with sealcoating, crack sealing provides comprehensive pavement protection.

Question 6

How much does parking lot striping cost?

Accepted Answer

Parking lot striping costs $1.50-$3.00 per linear foot for standard 4-inch white or yellow lines. A typical parking space (9x18 feet with lines) costs $15-$35 to stripe. ADA handicap symbols run $50-$100 each. Complete parking lot re-striping averages $0.10-$0.20 per square foot. Prices vary based on lot size, line complexity, traffic control needs, and whether old lines need removal. We provide itemized quotes.

Question 7

What are ADA compliant parking requirements?

Accepted Answer

ADA requires 1 accessible space for 1-25 total spaces, 2 for 26-50 spaces, and additional spaces based on lot size. Accessible spaces must be 8 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle (or 11 feet wide with shared aisle). Van-accessible spaces need 11 feet with 5-foot aisle. Spaces must be on the shortest accessible route to the entrance, properly marked with signage and pavement markings. We ensure full ADA compliance for all striping projects.

Question 8

Can you sealcoat in winter?

Accepted Answer

Sealcoating in winter is challenging in North Texas. We can sealcoat on mild winter days when temperatures reach 50°F and are rising, with no freezing temperatures forecasted for 24 hours, and no rain expected. Most sealcoat manufacturers specify minimum 50°F for application. We typically recommend waiting until spring (March-April) when conditions are more reliable. Emergency repairs can be done year-round with specialized materials.
