When it comes to maintaining your parking lot or sports court, the process can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re not sure where to start. At Advanced Striping & Sealcoating, we make it simple. Whether you’re looking for crack repair, fresh striping, asphalt sealcoating, or a full transformation, we handle it all with transparency, professionalism, and high-quality results.

Here’s what you can expect when you book with us.

Step 1: Asphalt Pre-Inspection and Planning

We offer free estimates!

Before any work begins, we schedule a site visit to inspect your lot. We look for things like potholes, cracks, faded striping, drainage concerns, and overall surface condition. Based on what we find, we’ll recommend the best combination of services to meet your needs and budget.

We also work with you to schedule the job at a time that fits your business, typically during warm, dry weather with minimal disruption.

Step 2: Potholes and Crack Filling

Many lots we service have existing damage, and that’s completely normal. Potholes and cracks should always be repaired before any sealcoating or striping to ensure a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Pothole Patching: We remove debris, fill the void with quality materials, and compact the area to restore structure and safety.
Crack Filling: We fill surface cracks with specialized rubber or asphalt-based materials to prevent water from seeping below and causing further damage.

These repairs protect your investment and lay the foundation for a better final result.

Step 3: Parking Lot Cleaning and Surface Preparation

Surface prep is one of the most important steps in the process. Before applying sealcoat or paint, our team will:

Sweep and blow off debris your parking lot’s surface
Remove oil spots or surface stains from asphalt
Clean around edges and in cracks of asphalt

Proper preparation ensures maximum adhesion and a clean, professional finish to your parking lot’s surface.

Step 4: Sealcoat Application for Your Lot

If your lot needs protection or a fresh, black finish, we apply a commercial-grade asphalt sealant. This helps:

Protects your parking lot from UV damage, weather, and water
Extend the life of your asphalt
Improve the overall appearance of your parking lot and property

Sealcoating is typically recommended every two to four years, depending on traffic levels and climate.

Step 5: Sealcoat Curing and Drying Time

After sealcoating your asphalt, the surface needs time to cure. We typically recommend:

24 to 48 hours before allowing vehicle traffic
Foot traffic may be allowed sooner depending on weather

Our team will place cones or barricades and provide clear guidance on how to care for the surface during this period.

Step 6: Parking Lot Striping and Finishing Touches

Once the surface is clean and ready, we repaint parking spaces, directional arrows, ADA-accessible markings, custom stencils, and anything else you need. Crisp, visible striping makes your lot safer, more functional, and visually appealing.

We also offer court painting, curb painting, and other specialty services.

Why This Process Matters for Your Parking Lot

Maintaining your asphalt isn’t just about looks. It’s about safety, longevity, and protecting your bottom line. A well-maintained lot or court:

Prevents expensive repairs down the road
Reflects positively on your business
Creates a better experience for your customers or visitors
