Clean each section
Each section gets cleaned before any coating goes on. Anything left on the surface is something the sealcoat sticks to instead of the asphalt.
About sealcoating
Free sealcoating quotes in Ridgeland, MS. No pressure, no runaround.
Protection from UV, water, and oil. Two coats, dry in 24 to 48 hours.
We sealcoat parking lots and driveways across Ridgeland and Madison County, from Highland Colony to Dinsmor. Crews come from our Madison and Jackson locations.
Sealcoating extends pavement lifespan and heads off the cracks and potholes that lead to expensive repairs.
Fresh sealcoat brings back that deep black color and clean look, boosting curb appeal instantly.
The coating blocks UV rays that dry out and crack your asphalt over time.
Sealcoat keeps water from soaking into the asphalt and weakening the base underneath.

A shopping center can't seal the whole lot at once and turn shoppers away while it dries. So the lot gets split up. We map out sections with you, usually by row or by group of storefronts, and seal one while the others carry the traffic. Each section dries for 24 to 48 hours before it opens again.
Before any coating goes down, the section is cleaned and the cracks are filled with hot-applied crack filler. Then the sealcoat is flood-coated across the asphalt with a squeegee machine. Every job gets two coats, with the second going on once the first has dried.
Sealcoat covers the old lines, so striping follows. Our own crew lays the stalls, ADA spaces, fire lanes, and arrows back down, and for some projects that work happens at night or over a weekend. If you have wanted the layout changed, this is the time to do it, since the old lines are already gone.

About sealcoating
Our crew fills the cracks with hot-applied filler first. Sealcoat on its own won't close a crack, and water would keep reaching the base.
Crack filling
Once the sealcoat dries, our own crew restripes. Fast-dry paint dries in about 30 minutes, so each section reopens with its lines in place.
Striping in RidgelandNot every lot is a shopping center. A church lot can be sealed during the week and is usually dry before the weekend. An HOA street or shared lot gets sealed a row or a block at a time, and the board gets the schedule ahead of each closure so residents know when to move their cars. We set that schedule with the board or the property manager.
Long residential driveways get the same process at a smaller scale: cracks filled, two coats, and cars kept off for 24 to 48 hours. On a drive that runs back through the trees, we plan with you where the cars will park while it dries, since the only way in is across the fresh coat.
New asphalt waits 6 to 12 months for its first coat. After that, sealing every 1 to 2 years keeps the surface from drying out and turning gray, and it is part of what gets a driveway or lot to the 20 to 30 years asphalt can last with upkeep. Most sealcoating jobs can be quoted from photos.
Sealed on weekdays so it has time to dry before services. Cracks filled first, two coats, and the lines repainted after.
Church and HOA lots
Sealed a section at a time on a schedule the board signs off on, so residents still have a way in and out.

The same two coats a commercial lot gets. Plan on parking off the driveway for 24 to 48 hours while it dries.
Driveways in RidgelandSealcoat is upkeep, so the timing matters more than the day it goes on. Wait too long between coats and the surface dries out, the small cracks widen, and water starts working into the base. Once the base fails, sealcoat can't fix it. Those areas need repair first, and a badly worn lot may need resurfacing.
For a sound lot, the answer is every 1 to 2 years. You can usually tell it is time by looking, and the signs below are the ones we check for.
Send us a few photos and a rough size, and we can usually quote sealcoating without a site visit. If the photos show soft spots or potholes, someone comes out to look before the quote goes out. The written quote is free and lists a line item for each service, each with its own scope, so crack filling, sealcoat, and striping are each spelled out. We don't give prices over the phone.
Asphalt that has faded from black to gray is drying out and has lost the protection on its surface.
Hairline cracks are the stage where filling and sealing still head off bigger repairs to the base.
If the stripes need repainting anyway, sealing first means the new lines go down on a fresh surface.

Sealcoat typically dries in 24 to 48 hours. We tell you exactly when it is safe to walk or drive on.
Usually, yes. Send photos and the rough size of the area, and we will put together a free written quote. If we see damage that needs repair, we will come look first.
One coat leaves thin spots that wear through early. The second coat fills them in and evens out the protection across the whole surface.
