Few investments in commercial property maintenance deliver the return that professional sealcoating provides. For a fraction of the cost of resurfacing or replacement, sealcoating restores oxidized asphalt, locks out water and UV damage, and adds years of functional life to your parking lot or commercial pavement. Serrato Asphalt provides professional sealcoating services for commercial and residential properties throughout Sacramento, CA and the greater Sacramento Valley — giving your pavement the protection it needs to survive California’s demanding climate cycle.

Benefits of Professional Sealcoating

  • UV Protection – Sacramento’s intense summer sun oxidizes and dries out asphalt; sealcoating blocks UV rays that strip asphalt of its binding oils
  • Water Resistance – A sealed surface resists water infiltration from winter rains, irrigation overspray, and standing puddles
  • Extended Pavement Life – Sealcoated asphalt consistently outlasts unsealed pavement by 10–15 years when applied on the correct maintenance schedule
  • Restored Appearance – Fresh sealcoating brings back a deep, uniform black color that dramatically improves property curb appeal
  • Fuel & Chemical Resistance – Sealcoating provides a protective barrier against oil drips, fuel spills, and chemical leaching that degrade asphalt binders
  • Cost-Effective Protection – Applied every 3–4 years, sealcoating costs a small fraction of resurfacing — making it the highest-ROI maintenance service available

Our Sealcoating Process

Sealcoating applied to a poorly prepared surface peels off, wears unevenly, and provides little protection. Applied correctly — with proper surface prep, clean edges, and the right equipment — it bonds to asphalt and performs for years. Our process follows the right steps every time.

  • Surface Evaluation – We inspect pavement for cracks, damage, and oil contamination that must be addressed before sealing
  • Crack Filling – Active cracks are filled with hot-pour rubberized filler before sealer is applied; sealing over open cracks provides only cosmetic coverage
  • Oil Spot Treatment – Petroleum contamination is treated with primer to ensure sealer adhesion in oil-stained areas
  • Surface Cleaning – The lot is swept and blown clean of debris, dirt, and loose material that would prevent bonding
  • Sealer Application – Commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt-based sealer is applied in uniform coats using squeegee or spray application for consistent coverage
  • Curing Time – We advise a minimum 24-hour cure period before opening the lot to traffic for maximum sealer performance

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should asphalt be sealcoated?

Most commercial parking lots in the Sacramento, CA area benefit from sealcoating every 3–4 years. New asphalt should be allowed to cure for 6–12 months before first application. Over-sealing too frequently can cause buildup that becomes slippery.

Should cracks be filled before sealcoating?

Always. Filling cracks before sealing is critical — not optional. Applying sealer over open cracks gives only cosmetic coverage; water still enters the cracks. We include crack filling evaluation in every sealcoating project.

How long does sealcoating take to dry?

Sealcoating cures in 24–48 hours under normal Sacramento Valley conditions. We schedule projects around your business needs and coordinate reopening timing with your team.

Can you sealcoat around occupied facilities?

Yes. We phase commercial sealcoating projects to keep portions of the lot accessible during application. We coordinate with property managers on timing and access.

Do you provide sealcoating throughout the Sacramento Valley?

Yes. We sealcoat commercial and residential properties in West Sacramento, Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, Rocklin, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, El Dorado Hills, Auburn, Granite Bay, Woodland, Placerville, Lincoln, and New Castle.
