Parking lot sealcoating protects your asphalt from UV, oil, water, and deicing chemicals, and it restores a clean, dark finish that helps your striping pop. Apex Asphalt Lakewood has served Lakewood since 2019 with scheduled, low-disruption sealcoat programs for commercial lots, HOAs, churches, and small industrial properties.
A durable sealcoat starts with prep and a sound surface. We begin with a walkthrough to note oxidation, raveling, open seams, and ponding, then clean the lot with commercial blowers and power washing as needed. Oil spots get treated with a primer and scrubbed, vegetation is removed from edges, and cracks are routed or cleaned and filled with hot-pour rubberized crack sealant; failing areas are patched with saw-cut, remove-and-replace or infrared repair before any sealer goes down. If the base is moving or the asphalt is too thin, we will recommend stabilization or full-depth patching first, because sealcoating will not fix structural failure.
Colorado weather is hard on pavement, and the finish has to match it. Freeze-thaw cycles and snowplow traffic make crack sealing and edge detail critical, and sun and elevation accelerate oxidation, so we apply a consistent film thickness and keep coverage even across high-traffic lanes and turning radii. Our parking lot sealcoating uses commercial-grade asphalt emulsion sealer (coal tar available by request where appropriate), mixed on site with sand for traction and additives for cure and durability, then applied by spray with brush-cut edges at curbs, sidewalks, and drain inlets. We control access with cones and barricades, protect catch basins from overspray, and schedule for dry conditions so the coating cures properly before reopening.
Businesses in Lakewood choose us because we manage the details that keep lots looking professional and safe. You get a clear, written scope, realistic cure times, and a plan to keep customers and tenants moving with phased closures and off-hours work when possible. Our crew is licensed and insured, uses dedicated sealer tanks, spray wands, squeegees, and mechanical mixers, and follows manufacturer specs for mix ratios, surface temperature, and coverage rates rather than thinning a product to stretch it. When the lot needs more than sealer, we can bundle crack sealing, patching, and ADA-accessible layout updates so the investment lasts longer.
Before we leave, we do a closing walkthrough and document what was completed and what should be addressed next season. You receive a clean, uniform sealcoat with crisp protected edges, cure guidance, and a recommended maintenance interval based on traffic load (typically every 2-3 years for many commercial lots). If you add striping, we coordinate re-marking after proper cure using high-solids traffic paint or MMA for high-wear areas, with options for fire lanes, directional arrows, and accessible stalls. The result is a protected surface that slows oxidation, reduces water intrusion, and presents a better first impression at the curb.
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.
Parking lot sealcoating is preventive maintenance that extends pavement life by shielding asphalt binder from sun, oxygen, water, fuel drips, and deicing chemicals. On commercial lots, the goal is simple, reduce cracking and raveling, keep the surface tight, and maintain a dark, uniform appearance that makes striping and wayfinding easier to see. Apex Asphalt Lakewood delivers planned, repeatable sealcoat work with proper surface prep, crack sealing, and controlled application so the coating cures evenly and performs as intended.
A quality sealcoat job depends more on preparation than on the final spray. We remove dirt and debris, treat petroleum-contaminated areas, seal working cracks, and patch failures so the new coating does not telegraph defects. After prep, we apply sealer at manufacturer-recommended dilution and coverage rates, then brush-cut edges and detail around curbs, sidewalks, and drainage structures for clean lines and better adhesion. Proper barricading and curing time are built into the schedule, because opening too early can track sealer and shorten service life.
Local conditions in the Front Range make maintenance timing important. Sealcoating is best performed during stable, dry weather with warm pavement temperatures, and many properties benefit from a repeating cycle paired with annual crack inspections. If your lot has widespread alligator cracking, base movement, or chronic ponding, we will recommend structural repairs first and then sealcoat to protect the restored surface.
If you manage a retail center, HOA, office building, church, or light industrial site, we can build a straightforward scope that fits your traffic patterns and budget. Request a free written estimate for parking lot sealcoating, and we will outline prep, materials, application method, cure time, and options for crack sealing, patching, and striping so you know exactly what you are getting.
Call now or send a request and we will reach out within one business day to schedule your free, no-obligation estimate in Lakewood. We assess the project, review the details, and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect.
