Why is sealcoating recommended for asphalt?
Sealcoating creates a protective barrier against UV oxidation, water penetration, motor oil spills, and winter freeze-thaw cycles. Regular sealcoating prevents asphalt from becoming brittle, cracking, and turning into potholes, extending the usable lifespan of your pavement.
What areas do you serve?
We provide full commercial and residential asphalt maintenance services in Nashville, Goodlettsville, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Lebanon, Mt. Juliet, Springfield, Brentwood, Franklin, and surrounding Middle Tennessee communities.
How often should asphalt be sealcoated?
Most commercial parking lots and residential driveways in Middle Tennessee should be sealcoated every 2 to 3 years, depending on traffic volume and weather exposure.
Can deep cracks and potholes be sealed?
We treat active structural cracks using commercial-grade hot-rubberized sealant that flexes with temperature shifts to block water. Severe base failures or deep potholes may require asphalt patching prior to sealing, which we assess during your initial quote.
What is the difference between standard line striping paint and thermoplastic markings?
Standard line striping uses heavy-duty traffic paint ideal for general parking lot stalls and re-striping. Thermoplastic markings consist of an alkyd resin formula that is heat-fused directly to the asphalt. Thermoplastic is up to 10 times more durable, highly reflective, and ideal for heavy-traffic commercial zones, fire lanes, and crosswalks.
Does line striping ensure ADA compliance for commercial parking lots?
Yes. We design and line-stripe commercial lots to meet federal ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and local Middle Tennessee building codes, including proper handicap space dimensions, access aisles, crosswalks, and stenciling.
Can work be completed outside of business hours to avoid commercial downtime?
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings, nights, and weekends, to ensure your commercial parking lot or facility remains fully operational during business hours.
