At APS, we know that every paved surface, whether residential or commercial, needs protection from Arizona’s sun, seasonal rain, and everyday traffic. As an experienced asphalt sealcoating contractor serving Tucson and Phoenix, APS provides professional sealcoating for driveways, parking lots, and other asphalt surfaces.
Sealcoating is a preventive maintenance treatment that helps protect asphalt as it ages while restoring a cleaner, more uniform appearance. APS works with homeowners, business owners, property managers, and HOAs to evaluate pavement condition and determine whether sealcoating is the right next step.
Asphalt sealcoating is a protective surface treatment applied over existing asphalt to help reduce deterioration from sunlight, oxidation, moisture, traffic, and everyday exposure. It also restores the dark, uniform appearance associated with well-maintained asphalt.
Sealcoating works best as preventive maintenance on pavement that is still structurally sound. Cracks, potholes, failed areas, or other significant damage should be addressed before the sealcoat is applied. APS provides professional sealcoating for residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and private asphalt surfaces throughout Tucson, Phoenix, and surrounding Arizona communities.
For commercial properties, sealcoating can be an important part of a preventive asphalt maintenance plan. Parking lots, drive lanes, and other paved areas are exposed to Arizona sun, seasonal rain, vehicle traffic, and surface contaminants every day. When the underlying pavement is still in serviceable condition, sealcoating can help protect the surface and maintain a cleaner, more consistent appearance.
Safeguard Against Oxidation and Water Damage
Sunlight and oxidation gradually dry and age exposed asphalt, while water can enter existing cracks and contribute to further deterioration. Sealcoating adds a protective surface layer that helps reduce exposure to these elements. Existing cracks or damaged areas should be repaired before the sealcoat is applied.
Help Protect Against Oil and Vehicle Fluids
Commercial parking areas are regularly exposed to oil, fuel, and other vehicle fluids. A properly selected and applied sealcoat can add a protective barrier to the pavement surface, although spills should still be cleaned promptly and damaged areas should be addressed separately.
Restore Rich Blacktop Appearance
As asphalt ages, its surface can fade from dark black to gray. Sealcoating restores a darker, more uniform finish that can improve the appearance of parking areas, drive lanes, and other paved surfaces around a commercial property.
Support Long-Term Pavement Maintenance
Sealcoating is preventive maintenance, not a substitute for structural repair or replacement. When applied at the right stage of a pavement’s life, it can help slow surface deterioration and postpone more extensive rehabilitation. APS can evaluate the condition of the pavement and recommend whether sealcoating, repair, resurfacing, or another treatment makes the most sense.
