Asphalt Seal Coating
Professional asphalt seal coating for commercial parking lots and driveways — protecting your pavement investment from New Mexico's UV radiation and oxidation.
Seal Coating: The Most Cost-Effective Pavement Investment
Asphalt oxidizes in New Mexico's intense UV environment faster than almost anywhere else in the country — a parking lot that looks new in year one can be gray, brittle, and cracking by year five without protection. Seal coating arrests this oxidation, restores the pavement's surface, seals minor cracks before they enlarge, and dramatically extends pavement life. For a fraction of the cost of overlay or reconstruction, seal coating every 3–5 years can double the life of your pavement.
- Surface cleaning including pressure washing, degreasing, and oil spot priming
- Crack filling of all cracks up to 1/2 inch wide prior to sealer application
- Two-coat sealer application at manufacturer-specified coverage rate
- Pavement striping re-application available after seal coat cure

Preparation Determines Quality
Seal coat applied over dirty, oily, or cracked pavement fails early. We clean the surface, treat oil spots with primer, fill all cracks prior to sealing, and apply sealer at the correct dilution rate and coverage — two coats for maximum protection. A properly prepared and applied seal coat provides 3–5 years of UV and water protection.

Seal Coating FAQ
In New Mexico's climate, we recommend seal coating every 3–5 years. New asphalt should be seal coated after its first year when it has fully cured. After that, watch for fading to gray — that's the sign oxidation is underway.
No — cracks should be filled first, then sealed. Seal coat is too thin to bridge cracks and will crack in the same location. We always fill cracks before applying sealer as part of our standard process.
Spring and fall are ideal — temperatures between 50°F and 90°F with low humidity. Summer seal coating is possible early morning but challenging midday due to heat accelerating dry times. We avoid application during monsoon season.
