Faded, Cracking Asphalt?
Sun-oxidized, graying asphalt loses years of life fast — full-strength sealcoating protects the investment underneath.
Asphalt starts breaking down the moment it’s exposed to sun and traffic — UV rays dry out the binder that holds the surface together, and once that starts, water gets in, cracks spread, and a lot that should have another decade of life starts needing patches and repaves years early. Sealcoating is the maintenance step that slows all of that down, but only if it’s done right — full coverage, correct coat counts, and material that isn’t stretched thin to cover more square footage per gallon.
We apply a two-coat sealcoat system to Wichita commercial lots, using sealer mixed to manufacturer spec rather than watered down to cut cost. Every job starts with crack filling and oil spot priming so the seal actually bonds to the surface, and we schedule application around dry, temperature-appropriate windows so the coating cures instead of staying tacky or washing out.
A sealcoat job that looks fine on day one can fail within a year if the sealer was thinned to stretch coverage — thin coats wear through fast, leaving bare patches that fail sooner than if the lot had never been coated at all. Two full coats of properly mixed sealer isn’t an upsell; it’s the difference between a coating that protects a lot for three-plus years and one that’s visibly worn within a single Wichita summer.
We walk and measure the actual lot, flagging cracks, oil spots, and problem areas before any sealer goes down.
Prep work done ahead of the seal coat so it bonds properly instead of trapping water or oil underneath.
Full-strength sealer applied in two coats, using the application method that fits the lot’s surface and traffic patterns.

| Pricing factor | How it affects your estimate |
|---|---|
| Lot size & scope | Larger lots and multi-visit contracts change per-unit pricing. |
| Current surface condition | Crack filling and oil spot prep add to the scope before sealer goes down. |
| Coat count & application method | Two-coat spray or squeegee application is priced by total square footage. |
Sealcoating pricing depends on total lot size, current surface condition, and how much crack filling or oil spot prep is needed before the seal coat goes down. Lots with more prep work generally cost more than a straightforward recoat on a lot that’s been well-maintained. We’ll walk the property and give you an itemized written estimate before any sealer goes down.
Sealcoating is our entire business, not a service we tack onto paving jobs to round out a quote. That focus means every job gets full-strength material and proper coat counts as a matter of course, not an upsell — and our owner spent six years watching a franchise cut those exact corners before building this company around not doing that. When we quote a recoat, you’re getting a crew whose whole reputation rests on it holding up.
No pressure, no obligation — just a straightforward look at your property.
You call or request an estimate. Tell us the lot size and its current condition.
We schedule a walkthrough, usually within the same week.
We measure and inspect the lot, flagging cracks and oil spots that need prep first.
We fill cracks and prime oil spots, then apply two coats of full-strength sealer.
We document the finished lot with photos for your property file.
Graying or fading asphalt, small surface cracks starting to spread, a lot that looks visibly older than it is, or a property manager who can’t remember the last recoat are all signs it’s time. In Wichita, late spring through early fall is the ideal sealcoating window — warm enough for the material to cure properly, before the cold, wet stretches of late fall make scheduling tighter. If your lot hasn’t been sealed in two to three years, it’s worth a walkthrough.
Sealcoating is one of the cheapest line items in a property’s pavement budget relative to what it prevents — a properly applied coat can add years to a lot’s life and delay a full repave that costs many times more. Timing it right protects that math further: a lot sealed before cracks spread and water gets into the base holds up far longer than one sealed after damage has already started.
Most commercial lots benefit from a recoat every two to three years, depending on traffic volume and sun exposure — high-traffic drive lanes wear faster than perimeter parking.
Yes — crack filling is included as prep work ahead of every sealcoat job, since sealing over open cracks traps water underneath instead of keeping it out.
It depends on temperature and humidity — we schedule around weather so the coating cures properly, and we’ll give you a specific reopening timeline before the lot goes back into service.
