Sealcoating
Sealcoating is the single most cost-effective way to protect your asphalt investment. The Florida sun, summer rain, and everyday oil and gas drips all break asphalt down faster than most property owners realize. A fresh coat of commercial-grade sealer forms a protective layer over the asphalt, blocks UV damage, keeps water out of the pavement, and leaves the lot looking dark, fresh, and newly paved. Trinity Striping handles full-service sealcoating across South Florida, from a small driveway to a multi-acre commercial lot.
What We Do
What's Included
Every sealcoatingproject from Trinity Striping covers the full scope so you don't have to coordinate a second vendor. Typical work on a job looks like this:
- Parking lot and driveway sealcoating
- Commercial-grade asphalt emulsion sealer
- Full surface prep (blowing, sweeping, pressure washing)
- Oil spot priming where needed
- Crack filling before seal (recommended)
- Edge work with hand brushes for clean lines
- Two-coat application for maximum protection
- Complete restriping after seal cures
Our Process
How a Project Gets Done
Every job follows the same proven steps, so the result is consistent whether it's a small driveway or a multi-acre commercial lot.
- Step 01
Site Prep
The lot is blown clean, sanded, and pressure washed as needed. Oil spots are scraped and primed so sealer bonds properly.
- Step 02
Crack Repair
We fill any cracks larger than a quarter inch with hot-applied rubberized sealant. Sealing over unfilled cracks just lets water keep getting in.
- Step 03
Edging
We hand-brush sealer along curbs, building edges, and any areas a spray wand or squeegee machine can't reach cleanly.
- Step 04
Seal Application
Commercial-grade asphalt emulsion sealer is applied in two coats — sprayed, squeegeed, or both — for uniform coverage.
- Step 05
Cure & Restripe
Sealer needs 24 to 48 hours to fully cure before traffic. Once cured, we restripe the lot with fresh paint so it looks brand new.
Why It Matters
The Case for Sealcoating
Extends Pavement Life
Sealcoating every 2 to 3 years can double the life of an asphalt lot by protecting it from the #1 and #2 asphalt killers: UV and water.
Defends Against Chemicals
Oil, gas, and deicing chemicals dissolve asphalt binder. Sealer acts as a barrier that keeps those chemicals off the pavement.
Restores Appearance
Faded, gray asphalt goes back to a deep, uniform black. Paired with fresh striping, a sealed lot looks newly paved.
Lower Long-Term Cost
Sealcoating costs a small fraction of what it costs to mill and repave. Staying on a regular seal cycle is the cheapest asphalt plan you can run.

Frequently Asked
Sealcoating FAQ
How often should I sealcoat my lot?
Most commercial lots should be sealcoated every 2 to 3 years. Lots with heavy truck traffic, full sun exposure, or frequent pressure washing may need it on the shorter end of that window.
How long does sealer take to dry?
Sealer is typically dry to the touch within a few hours, but it needs 24 to 48 hours before you can put traffic on it. In cooler or humid weather, plan on the longer end.
Do I need to fill cracks before sealcoating?
Yes, for anything larger than about a quarter inch. Sealer doesn't bridge cracks; water will keep getting into the base and the crack will keep growing. Filling first is standard practice.
Can you seal a brand-new parking lot?
Not right away. New asphalt needs 6 to 12 months to cure before it's ready to be sealed. Sealing too early traps surface oils and the sealer won't bond correctly.
Does it matter what time of year you sealcoat?
Sealer cures best in warm, dry weather. In South Florida that's most of the year, but we avoid sealcoating if heavy rain is forecast within 24 hours of the job.
