Baltimore Seal Coating

Extend Your Pavement’s Life With Expert Seal Coating in Baltimore & the Surrounding Area

When you hire our professional team at Mid Atlantic Asphalt to install a new parking lot, you are already guaranteed an excellent product created with attention to detail. But how do you keep your pavement in peak condition? The most effective way to protect your investment is by seal coating it. For best results, we recommend waiting 9 months to 1 year after installation to ensure the pavement is completely cured before it is sealed.

Why Choose to Seal Coat?

Sealing your parking lot is the best way to protect the surface from water, sunlight, air, and even oil. When the surface is sealed regularly, it can repel oil spills and it is much easier to maintain.

Sealing Concrete vs. Sealing Asphalt

While both surfaces benefit from being sealed, sealing concrete also has decorative properties. The first coat of concrete sealer acts like a primer, disappearing below the surface. For this reason, our Baltimore seal coating contractors apply the sealer in two thin coats for effective and beautiful results. Sealing asphalt at least every 2 to 3 years is a cost-effective way to prevent expensive repairs and to maintain an inviting lot. Neither sealer can adhere to a wet surface, so it’s important to keep the pavement dry for at least 24 hours before sealing.

Does Seal Coating Fill Cracks?

Seal coating is designed to enhance the look and protect asphalt. While seal coating is a critical part of asphalt pavement maintenance it cannot be used as a crack filler. We at Mid Atlantic Asphalt offer quality crack filling services if you need pavement repair work done.

Drying Time for Driveway Sealer

The temperature has an impact on the drying time for your new seal-coated pavement. During the summer, between May and August, the weather is warm enough that we recommend keeping vehicles off the parking lot for 48 hours. That time increases to 72 hours during the colder months after September. However, the drying time for driveway sealer is 24-48 hours. You should allow at least one to two days for the asphalt sealcoat to dry.

What time of year is best to seal a parking lot?

There is a debate on what time of year is best for seal-coating parking lots. Some contractors say spring, while others say summer. Any time during the warm months of the year is ideal. As long as the temperatures are within 65-90 degrees Fahrenheit and rain are not in the forecast, seal coating can be done.

The typical cost of seal coating

Seal coating is an important part of any property maintenance plan as it helps to protect asphalt from the elements and increase its lifespan. Mid Atlantic Asphalt provides a cost-effective solution for seal coating – typically costing $1 to $2 per square foot – making it a great option for any property owner looking to protect their asphalt.
