Maintenance & Repair · Louisville Metro & Southern Indiana

Sealcoating that makes asphalt last twice as long.

Commercial-grade sealcoat, hot rubberized crack filling, and pothole patching — the maintenance cycle that turns a 15-year surface into a 30-year asset, for pennies on the repaving dollar.

What's Included

Repair first, then protect — in that order

Sealcoat sprayed over open cracks is a paint job on a problem. Our maintenance visits fix the surface before protecting it, which is why the results hold:

  • Surface prep & cleaningPower cleaning, oil-spot priming, and edge work so the sealer bonds instead of peeling.
  • Hot rubberized crack fillingFlexible filler that moves with Kentucky's freeze-thaw cycles and keeps water out of the base.
  • Pothole & section patchingFailed spots cut out and patched with hot mix — not cold-patch that washes out by spring.
  • Commercial-grade sealcoatApplied at proper coverage rates in the right weather window — two coats on high-traffic lanes.
  • Fresh line stripingSealcoating erases old lines; we re-stripe lots to a crisp, ADA-compliant layout as the finishing coat.
Why It Matters

What sealcoat actually protects against

Asphalt doesn't wear out from traffic nearly as fast as it wears out from weather. Sealcoat is the barrier between your pavement and the four things trying to destroy it.

THREAT 01

UV Oxidation

Sun bakes the binder out of asphalt, turning it gray and brittle. Sealcoat blocks UV and keeps the surface flexible.

THREAT 02

Water Intrusion

Water through cracks erodes the base — the start of every pothole. Crack fill plus sealcoat keeps it out.

THREAT 03

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Louisville winters freeze trapped water, expanding every small crack into a big one. Dry pavement survives winter.

THREAT 04

Oil & Chemicals

Vehicle fluids dissolve asphalt binder. Sealcoat is the sacrificial layer that takes the hit instead.

Sealcoating FAQ

Straight answers on asphalt maintenance

How much does sealcoating cost in Louisville?
Sealcoating is priced by the square foot and runs a small fraction of what paving costs — typically pennies per square foot versus dollars for new asphalt. Crack filling ahead of the sealcoat is quoted separately by linear footage. We measure and provide a written price with a free evaluation.
How often should asphalt be sealcoated?
Every 2–3 years for most Louisville-area lots and driveways. New asphalt should cure 6–12 months before its first sealcoat. More often than every 2 years causes buildup and flaking; longer than 4 years lets UV and water damage accelerate.
Does sealcoating fix cracks and potholes?
No — sealcoat is a protective layer, not a repair. That's why we fill cracks with hot rubberized filler and patch potholes first, then seal over a sound surface. Sealcoating over unfilled cracks just hides problems that keep growing underneath.
How long does sealcoating take to dry?
Foot traffic after 4–8 hours; vehicles off for 24–48 hours depending on temperature and humidity. For commercial lots we phase the work in sections so part of the lot stays open throughout.
Is sealcoating worth it, or should we just repave eventually?
A maintained sealcoat program can roughly double asphalt's usable life — turning a 15-year surface into a 25–30 year asset — for a small fraction of repaving cost per cycle. If your asphalt is already showing widespread base failure, we'll tell you honestly that sealcoating won't save it, and quote the repair that will.
