Pavement is constantly exposed to water, weather, and daily traffic, all of which contribute to wear and deterioration over time. Without proper protection, this can significantly shorten the lifespan of your parking lot. Sealcoating is a cost-effective solution that helps extend pavement longevity while reducing long-term maintenance needs. Rose Paving’s nationwide team of sealcoating experts is ready to safeguard your pavement, ensuring durability and protection against the elements.
What Is Sealcoating?
Sealcoating is a routine asphalt maintenance process that protects surfaces from oxidation, moisture, fading, and erosion. It plays a key role in preserving the integrity of asphalt and is one of the most effective ways to maintain and extend the life of your parking lot.
Sealcoating is one of the most important elements in a pavement management plan, offering multiple benefits:
- Shields paved surfaces from harmful chemicals, snow salt, water, and UV rays.
- Reduces exposure to oxygen and ultraviolet damage.
- Enhances the durability and lifespan of asphalt.
- Boosts the overall appearance of both the pavement and the surrounding property.

What is Sealcoating Made of?
A sealcoat consists of either coal tar pitch or asphalt cement mixed with inert fillers, water, emulsifying agents or additives. Applied in thin layers, it acts as a protective barrier against gasoline, oil, salt, water, and UV rays, helping to extend pavement life.
While sealcoating and asphalt may share similar components and application methods, they serve distinct purposes. Learn more about the differences between sealcoating and asphalt paving, or explore our Sealcoating Guide: What to Expect from Sealcoating.
What Does Sealcoating Do?
A sealcoat is applied to asphalt surfaces as a preventative measure to protect the paved surface from gasoline, salt, water, ultraviolet rays and oil – all substances which erode and damage asphalt. The sealcoating acts like a barrier, filling in any small cracks or areas where moisture seeps in, and preserving the structural integrity of your asphalt. Sealcoating also provides a fresh, new appearance and improves the aesthetic of the entire property. Of the many benefits of sealcoating your pavement, there are three that stand out as especially beneficial to business.
Benefits of Sealcoating Include:
- Beautification – When covered with a dark black sealant, pavement looks and wears like new. Fresh sealcoating also projects a positive image of the company, facility, or residential complex.
- Protection – The value of protecting your parking lot from cracking, fading and erosion can not be overstated. Beyond the aesthetic value, protecting your pavement from weather, water, and regular wear and tear is the best way to avoid the cost of a full pavement replacement.
- Longevity – Sealcoating as a part of regular pavement maintenance is the best way to ensure the integrity, longevity and value of your pavement. Like any property investment, the more you care for your pavement, the less it costs to maintain over time.

How Long Does Sealcoating Last?
Freshly applied sealcoat can protect pavement for up to three years, depending on the condition of the surface at the time of application. Sealcoating tends to be more effective and long-lasting on well-maintained or freshly paved surfaces.
How Much Does Sealcoating Cost?
Sealcoating prices vary based on material costs and the size of the pavement area. For an accurate estimate tailored to your project, contact Rose Paving today.
When is the Best Time to Sealcoat?
Sealcoating is best applied when the surface and air temperatures are 50° or above for a period of 24 hours or more. Therefore, the optimal time of year to sealcoat paved surfaces is the late spring, summer and early autumn months.
In the Chicagoland area, for example, the paving season typically ends by mid-November. In warmer climates, like Florida, Arizona or California, the sealcoating season can be extended into the winter months.
If you are reading this in the spring and summer months, then we recommend that you conduct a post-winter damage assessment to map out the areas of your pavement that require service, then call Rose Paving for a consultation.
As a nationwide team with offices near you, Rose Paving is well-versed in the optimal times to sealcoat any paved surface anywhere in the country no matter the time of year.
