WHAT IS ASPHALT SEAL COATING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
The Benefits of Seal Coating for Your Asphalt Surfaces
Seal coating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces to shield them from harmful elements and extend their lifespan. It creates a durable barrier that prevents damage caused by UV rays, water, oil, and other chemicals and beautifies your pavement and property.
Key Benefits

- - Restores a rich, dark color to your pavement, making asphalt look new
- - Enhances safety by making line striping more visible and melting snow and ice faster in winter
- - Improves the overall resiliency and durability of the asphalt, extending the life of your pavement
- - Protects against cracking and deterioration, increasing the asphalt’s longevity
- - Shields against gas, oil, and other chemical spills
IDEAL APPLICATIONS FOR SEAL COATING
Where Does Seal Coating Make the Biggest Impact?

PARKING LOTS
High-traffic areas like parking lots face constant wear from vehicles, oil leaks, and exposure to the elements. Seal coating protects the asphalt from premature deterioration, ensuring a smoother surface that reduces liability risks, enhances safety for visitors, and maintains a professional appearance for your business.
DRIVEWAYS
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your home. Seal coating restores its rich, dark finish while shielding it from cracks, harsh weather, and oil stains. This not only books your curb appeal but extends the life of your driveway, keeping it strong, smooth, and protected for years to come.
PRIVATE ROADS
Private roads often endure repeated traffic and harsh weather without regular maintenance. Seal coating these roads provides essential protection, extending their lifespan while preventing costly repairs that can disrupt access and safety for property owners and guests.
RECREATIONAL AREAS
Asphalt surfaces in recreation areas, like tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, or walking paths, need to look great and perform well. Seal coating protects these surfaces from wear and tear caused by weather and heavy use, preserving their usability and helping maintain a clean, inviting space for athletes, children, and visitors.
MUNSON’S SEAL COATING PROCESS
At Munson, Inc., we understand that protecting your asphalt from the elements is key to ensuring its longevity and appearance. Our seal coating process is designed to enhance the overall curb appeal of your property and provide a durable barrier that prevents damage from water, chemicals, and UV rays.
Here’s how we deliver exceptional results:
Surface Preparation
A clean, debris-free surface is essential for proper adhesion. We remove dirt, oil, and vegetation and thoroughly clean your asphalt to ensure optimal sealer application.
Crack Repair
We fill cracks ¼-inch or wider with hot-poured rubberized sealant to prevent water infiltration and reduce pavement deterioration. This step is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of your asphalt. If your asphalt requires more significant maintenance, such as pothole repair or patching, our paving experts can help.
Application of Commercial-Grade Sealer
We apply one to two coats of a commercial-grade sealer, specially formulated to protect against oxidation, weather, and spills. The sealer not only extends the life of your asphalt but also leaves it with a rich, deep black appearance that enhances the visibility of line striping and beautifies your property.
Attention to High-Traffic Areas
We use sealers with small, evenly distributed resin particles to ensure better adhesion and wear resistance, particularly in high-traffic areas like entrances and turns. This approach provides a denser, waterproof finish that stands up to challenging conditions.
Drying and Curing
After applying the sealer, we allow it to fully dry and cure, creating a strong, durable barrier that protects your asphalt for years to come.
Munson’s attention to detail and use of top-quality materials ensures your asphalt is not only protected but also visually enhanced. Contact us today to schedule your seal coating project!

Seal coating can be a great investment for maintaining and extending the life of your asphalt, but its value depends on the current condition, age, and maintenance history of the pavement.
At Munson, we assess these factors to determine if seal coating is the right choice for your asphalt. In some cases, it may be best to delay seal coating for a future application, while in others, we may recommend budgeting for full asphalt replacement if the pavement has reached the end of its lifespan. Our goal is to provide honest, long-term solutions that make sense for your pavement and your budget.
New asphalt should be sealed 8-12 months after installation.
Existing asphalt should be seal coated every 2-3 years for improved durability.
The cost of seal coating depends on a number of factors, including project size, additional services (e.g., weed trimming/control, cleaning, oil spot preparation, crack repair or striping), the number of coatings, the amount of sealer required, etc.
However, seal coating costs much less than replacing or repairing your parking lot or driveway.

No, seal coating cannot repair cracks and potholes. If your asphalt has cracks or potholes, Munson can repair them before seal coating.

Seal coating typically takes 2-3 days or longer, depending on several factors, including the size of the area, necessary preparation work (such as cleaning and crack filling), weather conditions, and drying time. Larger projects or those requiring multiple phases may extend the timeline. Your Munson representative will provide a more accurate timeframe during your estimate.
No. Seal coating is a temperature-sensitive process with a limited installation season in Southeastern Wisconsin.
The typical seal coating window runs from mid-May to mid-September, depending on weather conditions. Nighttime air and surface temperatures must be consistently 50 degrees and rising to ensure proper curing.
Since most sealers Munson uses are water-based, applying them in colder temperatures will result in improper curing, causing the coating to flake off quickly. This reduces its effectiveness and longevity and can cause the sealer to track onto shoes and be carried into homes and businesses. For best results, we recommend scheduling seal coating before fall to help protect your asphalt and extend its lifespan.

Line striping improves the safety, organization, and aesthetic of your parking lot by clearly marking parking spaces, traffic lanes, and other important areas.
Yes, properly marking designated handicapped parking spaces is essential for complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To learn more about ADA requirements, please visit this resource at ada.gov.
Line striping typically needs to be repainted every 1-2 years, depending on wear and tear from traffic, snow plowing, and weather. Regular maintenance ensures that your lot remains organized and safe.
If you’re not sure if it’s time to have your parking lot striped, here are a few things to ask yourself the next time you inspect your parking lot.
- 1. Are the lines clearly marked or are there sections where paint has worn away?
- 2. Can you clearly see the lines on three sides of the space during the day and night or during sunny or rainy conditions?
- 3. Are handicap-accessible spaces highly visible and clearly marked?
If the answer to any of these questions is no, we recommend that you have your pavement restriped.
Striping can take anywhere from a few hours to days depending on the size and drying conditions.
Most line striping services allow traffic to return within a few hours once the paint has dried, though it's best to avoid heavy traffic for 24 hours to ensure the lines fully set.
No. Line striping is a temperature-sensitive operation and therefore has a short installation season in Southeastern Wisconsin.
The typical installation window is from early May to late October, but this can vary depending on the weather, as the surface temperature must be high enough for the paint to adhere and cure properly.
Yes, we can customize your line striping to include special designs, logos, or other markings for your parking lot, ensuring a professional and personalized appearance.
Reflective striping contains materials that enhance visibility at night or in low-light conditions, improving safety for drivers and pedestrians.
