Asphalt Sealcoating Services in Wisconsin
What Is Sealcoating?
Sealcoating effectively preserves the integrity of your paved surfaces, especially new asphalt. At Asphalt Seal & Repair, we use Gemseal’s sealing products that protect and enhance your parking lots, driveways, playgrounds, walking paths, etc.
Our Gemseal sealants provide a flat, slate-black color that gives asphalt a clean, rich appearance. Contact us today to learn more about our asphalt sealcoating services to boost your pavement’s appearance and safety.
How Frequently Is Pavement Sealcoating Required?
A properly applied asphalt sealcoat should last residential customers 4-5 years. Commercial properties should last 2-4 years. This is also dependent on the weather. The more severe the weather (more plowing, sanding, salting) the more wear will show earlier.
Contact us today to see if your paved surfaces could benefit from sealcoating.

Reactive vs. Proactive Asphalt Maintenance
Reactive Maintenance
Reactive maintenance is when maintenance services are scheduled after a problem has occurred. Some of the disadvantages of this type of maintenance include:
- It’s a crisis-based approach.
- It causes unexpected downtime.
- It costs more in the long-term.
Proactive Maintenance
Proactive maintenance is the preferred approach because it fixes small problems before they worsen and prevents other problems from happening at all. Some additional benefits include:
- It’s a preparation-based approach.
- It maximizes the pavement’s lifespan.
- It aids facility management metrics.
Our Sealcoating Process
We follow these simple six steps for each sealcoating service:
Prepare and clean the asphalt/project surface.
Edge and tape off areas that don’t require sealcoat treatment.
Apply coal-tar-based or asphalt-based sealcoat material with a spray or squeegee system.
Ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish.
Wait 12–36 hours for the sealcoat to cure and dry.

Sealcoating FAQs
Asphalt sealers, when applied correctly are meant to preserve the oils present in asphalt and prevent oxidation. Oxidation in turn is what causes the drying, cracking, and potholing of asphalt. It also helps to keep oil and gas from penetrating the asphalt. Sealcoat keeps the pavement looking black, fresh, and clean. In the winter, sealcoated asphalt will naturally melt snow and ice much faster than very gray oxidized asphalt.
This is very important….do not let anyone sealcoat your asphalt if the frost is still in the ground and the nighttime temperatures are still in the 40’s! Don’t ever sealcoat if there is any snow or ice on the ground! The best time to seal is May through September.
We highly recommend 24 hours for the best curing time, but our sealer will dry in 12 hours and can be driven on at that time. On days of high humidity or if you have shaded areas present that are being sealed, we highly recommend the full 24 hours.
