Proven Sealcoating Protection for Commercial Asphalt Surfaces in Northeast Ohio
Commercial property owners throughout Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio choose Cardinal Asphalt Company, Inc. for sealcoating because three decades of proven results speak for themselves. Sealcoating is a service where the quality of the contractor matters enormously — proper surface preparation, correct material application rates, and appropriate timing between coats are the difference between sealcoating that protects and sealcoating that peels. Cardinal has been applying commercial sealcoating correctly since 1994, and our community knows our name because we earned it one well-done project at a time.
Our 2-year workmanship assurance backs every commercial sealcoating project. We apply one coat at a time, at the right coverage rate, at the right temperature — because shortcuts in sealcoating don’t hold up, and our reputation depends on what holds up.
Benefits of Commercial Sealcoating
- UV and Oxidation Protection — Asphalt oxidizes and becomes brittle when exposed to sunlight; sealcoating blocks UV rays and dramatically slows the oxidation that leads to cracking
- Water Infiltration Prevention — A sealed surface resists water penetration, protecting the asphalt base from the freeze-thaw damage that is the primary cause of deterioration in Northeast Ohio
- Chemical Resistance — Sealcoating shields pavement from oil, gasoline, and deicing chemicals that degrade unprotected asphalt binder
- Extended Pavement Life — Regular sealcoating can add 5–10 years to a commercial lot’s service life compared to unsealed pavement
- Improved Appearance — A freshly sealcoated lot has a clean, uniform black surface that improves the professional appearance of any commercial property
Our Commercial Sealcoating Process
- Surface Preparation — Cracks are filled, oil spots are primed, and the surface is cleaned of debris and vegetation before any sealcoating begins
- Crack Treatment — Active cracks are addressed before sealing; applying sealcoating over untreated cracks traps the problem and allows it to worsen beneath the sealed surface
- Material Application — Commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt-based emulsion is applied at the correct coverage rate using spray application for uniform coverage
- Curing Period — Sealcoated surfaces are closed to traffic for an appropriate curing period; we provide a timeline specific to weather conditions on your project
- Striping Coordination — Line striping is reapplied after sealcoating to complete the lot

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a commercial parking lot be sealcoated?
Most commercial lots benefit from sealcoating every 3–5 years. Lots with higher traffic volumes, significant UV exposure, or heavy deicing chemical use may benefit from a 2–3 year cycle. We assess your lot’s condition and recommend a timeline.
