After you have installed brand-new, sturdy asphalt in the Twin Cities area, you need to make sure your investment is protected. Fortunately, the team at Gopher State Sealcoat is here to help! We know how to properly apply sealcoat and keep your parking lot, walking path, or other paved surface safe throughout the year.
But, how does sealcoating work? Here is the process our professionals follow while sealcoating your asphalt surfaces during the summer season:
- Weather Check—Summer is a good time of year to sealcoat as the weather tends to be more dry than during the winter or spring seasons. In order to apply sealcoat, our professionals need a surface that is dry, and will remain that way, for approximately 48 eight hours.
- Regulate Safety—In addition to sweeping and washing off the asphalt surface, we also make sure to position barricades to monitor traffic in the area. Plus, we patch up any spots or holes in order to make sure your freshly sealcoated surface is safe!
- Apply Sealcoating—Next, we apply the sealcoat across the entire asphalt surface, and double-check that it’s applied evenly. Occasionally, we also need to plan for a second sealcoat, to be applied the next day.
- Allow to Dry—Once applied, asphalt sealcoat needs time to dry. Typically, 36 hours will do the trick. Once that time has passed and the barricades are removed, your brand-new sealcoat is ready for use!
