Sealcoating in Tulsa and Across Oklahoma.

Sealcoating is the most cost-effective maintenance investment you can make in asphalt pavement. A fresh sealcoat every two to three years can double the lifespan of your pavement. That means fewer repairs, less cracking, and a full replacement that comes years later.

Why Sealcoat?

Asphalt is made from aggregates bound together with bitumen. Over time, UV radiation, oil and fuel spills, and water infiltration break down that binder. The surface dries out, cracks start forming, and water gets underneath. That's when the serious damage starts.

In Oklahoma, where summer temperatures routinely push 100°F, UV degradation is one of the fastest ways to age your pavement. The sun cooks the binder out of the surface and leaves it brittle. Sealcoating blocks UV light, repels water, and resists chemical penetration. It keeps the surface flexible and intact instead of dried out and cracking.

What We Use

We apply hot rubberized sealant: a commercial-grade product that bonds to the asphalt surface and creates a durable, flexible barrier. Hot rubber is the right call for Oklahoma's climate because it stays flexible through temperature swings and doesn't crack off the surface in cold weather. This is not the same product you'll find at a hardware store in a five-gallon bucket.

Best Timing

• New asphalt should cure for 6–12 months before its first sealcoat
• After that, plan to reseal every 2–3 years
• Oklahoma's best window is late spring through early fall: sealant needs temps consistently above 50°F to cure properly
• Avoid sealcoating in direct afternoon sun in peak summer. Early morning application gives the sealant time to set before the heat peaks.

What to Expect

We clean the surface first, removing dirt, oil spots, and debris that would prevent proper adhesion. Any existing cracks get filled before we apply the sealcoat. Then we apply the sealant and let it cure. Plan on keeping the surface closed to traffic for 24–48 hours depending on temperature and humidity. When it's done, the pavement will be noticeably darker, more uniform, and protected for the next few years.

Paired with Crack Filling

We almost always do crack filling and sealcoating together. Sealing over cracks without filling them first still lets water in. Fill the cracks, seal the surface, and you've addressed both the entry points and the overall protection layer in one visit.
