Why Sealcoating is Important

Sun Block: Sealcoating prevents asphalt surface oxidation by forming a tough protective outer skin.
Weatherproofs: Sealcoating seals the porous asphalt surface, preventing damaging water penetration.
Resists Gas and Oil: Sealcoating protects asphalt from the deteriorating effects of gasoline, oil, de-icers, and other harsh chemicals.
Restores Appearance: Sealcoating provides the jet black finish and fresh, new appearance that improves the image of any business.
Saves Money: Avoid expensive asphalt replacement by spending a few cents per square foot on sealcoating.

If you decide that sealcoating is the service your business needs, it’s important to answer the following questions:

Should I sealcoat? Paving a surface is an investment. Don’t you want to protect that investment and help maximize its life? One of the biggest reasons to sealcoat includes protecting your pavement. Sealcoating decreases wear and tear from traffic, which saves you money on further maintenance or repairs. Sealcoating can also help Harrisburg, York and other Central Pennsylvania businesses protect your paved surface from snow in the winter as well as sun and rain throughout the year. A sealcoated surface will also look fantastic and help you achieve an attractive deep black color.
When should I sealcoat? You should sealcoat within the first year of new pavement being placed, and then every three to five years after that. You know it’s time to sealcoat when your paved surface is showing cracks or if it is looking worn or porous. Can you see broken areas? These cracks can begin to creep over time, leading to more extensive repairs or a full re-paving. Significant cracks also allow debris and moisture to escape under the surface. In cold weather, this moisture can freeze and lead to even more cracking.
What time of year can sealcoating be done? If your existing surface needs sealcoating, we can help you choose the right season. Temperatures need to be consistently above 65 degrees for successful sealcoating.
How often should I seal? To consistently protect your surface, it’s best to sealcoat once every three to four years. This allows your surface to maintain the true asphalt-black color and to fight off cracking that develops in a non-coated surface. Our team is happy to provide guidance on the best time to seal and whether or not your surface is due for a sealcoat treatment.

Daniel B. Krieg has worked in Central PA communities for more than 90 years, helping customers decide whether or not to sealcoat, when to sealcoat and how often to sealcoat. Sealcoating has many advantages, and our professional team can help you experience these benefits firsthand. Some perks you can expect include:

Extend Your Asphalt's Life

Sealcoating can extend your investment by adding years to your asphalt's life. We recommend sealcoating every four to five years for the best results. When you sealcoat your lot regularly, you can prevent detrimental damage that could lead to resurfacing the entire lot. Sealcoating gives you a fresh layer every few years so you can maintain a safe, attractive property.

Save Money Over Time

Preventative maintenance costs less than extensive repairs such as repaving. Instead of paying for repairs, you can prevent major issues by sealcoating your parking lot every 3 to 5 years. Sealcoating costs $0.12 to $0.20 per square foot, whereas asphalt repairs cost more than $6.00 per SF.

Enhance Your Lot's Appearance

Sealcoating transforms a parking lot's appearance and shows you care about how your property looks. When you pay for sealcoating, you invest in more than just a parking lot - you impact how others view your commercial property.

Improve Safety

Cracks are a normal part of pavement wear, but with proper maintenance, you can prevent cracks from developing into potholes. We recommend crack filling every spring in order to fill any new cracks that formed over the winter season.
