Step 1 Block: We block off the designated area first to prepare the space for seal coating. Our team will also make sure that all automated sprinkler systems are turned off until 24 hours after the work has been completed.
Step 2 - Preparation of Edges: We start by using a power edger to trim and remove any grass or dirt along the edges of your parking lot. This allows us to seal up to the very edge of the pavement, giving a clean finished look.
Step 3 - Cleaning: Pavement sealer will not adhere to dirt or mud. We thoroughly clean your parking lot using robust equipment- walk behind blowers, rotary brooms, turbine blowers, and sweepers. (Not Included: cleaning heavy construction debris or pressure washing.)
Step 4- Crack Repair: Linear cracks are blown out with 185 CFM compressed air, then filled with a hot, rubberized crack filler that is designed to expand and contract with your pavement through freeze/thaw cycles. (Note: "Alligatored areas of cracks cannot be crack filled-they will need to be removed and replaced.)
Step 5-Primer Coat: Oil and grease spots are treated with a primer to allow for proper adhesion of the sealer.
Step 6 - Pedestrian Safety: The area to be sealed is closed off to traffic and pedestrians with cones, cone bars, barricades, and (if necessary) caution tape. It is the property owner's responsibility to notify all relevant people of our work ahead of time.
Step 7-Sealcoat: Two coats of sealer are applied using a state-of-
heart spray application. The trim is brushed by hand to reduce any possibility of overspray on walkways, curbs, or buildings. All roadway and driveway ends are given a clean, straight end for a professional look.
Step 8- Line Paint: Parking lot lines are repainted as per existing. If the property owner wants a new layout painted, or any other changes, they will need to nofity us before we begin our work.
