Protect your pavement and keep it looking clean with professional asphalt sealcoating from Apex Asphalt Lakewood, serving customers since 2019. We seal residential driveways and commercial lots in Lakewood using commercial-grade sealer, proper prep, and clean edging for a sharp finish.
Good sealcoating starts with prep, not a thick coat. We begin by marking problem areas, clearing debris, and blowing off dust with backpack blowers, then treat oil spots with a primer and scrub as needed so the sealer can bond. Cracks get routed or cleaned out and filled with hot rubberized crack filler or a pourable asphalt crack sealant (depending on width and movement), and failing edges or potholes are patched before any sealer goes down. If your asphalt is new, we will recommend waiting until it has cured (typically 6-12 months) so the surface oils have time to oxidize and accept sealer properly.
Colorado sun, freeze-thaw cycles, and de-icing salts are hard on asphalt, so we match the system to real site conditions. We apply commercial-grade asphalt sealer in thin, even coats, typically two coats for most driveways, with a squeegee application for work-in and a spray pass for uniform texture when the site allows. Edges are cut in clean around concrete, garage aprons, pavers, and landscape borders, and we keep a consistent film without puddling that can track. For traction and durability where vehicles turn and brake, we can add sand or an approved aggregate to the mix and reinforce high-wear areas like the apron and turn-around.
Lakewood customers choose us because they want sealcoating that lasts, not a quick black paint-over. Our crews focus on adhesion, crack control, and drainage, and we communicate clearly about cure times, weather windows, and access so you are not guessing when you can park. We are licensed and insured, and every project starts with a free written estimate that spells out prep, crack filling, number of coats, and protection details. You get professional equipment, clean masking and edging, and a crew that treats your property like a finished surface, not a jobsite.
Before we leave, we do a walkthrough and confirm the details that matter: consistent coverage, sealed edges, patched areas blended, and no sealer on concrete or garage doors. We set barricades or caution tape, review dry-to-touch and full-cure expectations (often 24-48 hours depending on temperature and shade), and share simple care steps like avoiding tight turns, kickstands, and heavy point loads until cured. You receive a clear scope, cure-time guidance, and maintenance recommendations, including when to reseal (commonly every 2-3 years) based on traffic and UV exposure. If we spot issues sealcoating cannot fix, like base failure or widespread alligator cracking, we will tell you upfront and recommend patching or resurfacing instead of selling you the wrong service.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the scope, materials (hot-mix asphalt, tack coat, crack sealant, sealcoat), and an expected schedule.
Light foot traffic is often possible the same day, and vehicle traffic is typically allowed after the asphalt cools and gains initial stability. We give site-specific guidance based on thickness, temperature, and turning movements.
Often, yes. We can do targeted repairs like saw-cut remove and replace, full-depth patching, or infrared patching, then blend the repairs into a maintenance plan such as crack filling and sealcoating.
Yes. We can restripe after paving or sealcoating, including stall lines, fire lanes, directional arrows, and accessible markings, based on your layout and requirements.
Prep typically includes demolition or milling if needed, grading for drainage, compacting aggregate base, addressing soft spots, applying tack coat where new asphalt meets existing pavement, and compacting hot-mix with vibratory rollers for density.
Asphalt sealcoating is a protective maintenance coating that helps slow oxidation, water intrusion, and damage from salts and petroleum drips. Done right, it restores a dark, uniform look and protects the binder in the asphalt, but it only performs when the surface is properly cleaned, repaired, and allowed to cure. Apex Asphalt Lakewood applies commercial-grade sealers with careful prep and clean edging so residential driveways and light commercial pavement hold up longer between repairs.
Sealcoating works best as part of a maintenance plan, not as a fix for structural problems. If your driveway has isolated cracks, minor raveling, or surface dryness, sealcoating after crack repair can help extend service life and improve appearance. If you have soft spots, rutting, widespread alligator cracking, or standing water, those point to base or drainage issues that need patching, grading, or resurfacing before any sealer is applied.
Our process is straightforward and spec-driven: clean the surface, prep and prime oil-stained areas, fill cracks with the appropriate rubberized material, patch failures, then apply the right number of coats for the site. We watch weather closely because temperature swings and afternoon storms affect drying and cure, and we will schedule for conditions that support proper film formation instead of rushing an application.
If you want asphalt sealcoating in Lakewood, start with a free written estimate. We will look at pavement age, traffic, cracking pattern, and drainage, then recommend the right combination of crack sealing, patching, and sealcoating so you get protection that performs, not just a darker color for a few weeks.
