Protect Your Pavement and Extend Its Life
Sealcoating is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your commercial asphalt investment. Exposure to sunlight, water, oil, fuel, and daily traffic gradually breaks down asphalt surfaces, leading to oxidation, cracking, and premature deterioration.
Cato’s Paving provides professional commercial sealcoating services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, helping businesses extend pavement life, improve curb appeal, and reduce long-term maintenance costs with high-quality protective asphalt coatings.

When Your Asphalt Is Ready for Sealcoat
Sealcoating works best before small problems turn into expensive repairs. These are the signs we look for on a site visit.
Faded, Gray Surface
Sun exposure oxidizes asphalt and turns it gray and brittle. Sealcoat restores a deep black finish and shields it from UV.
Small Surface Cracks
Hairline cracks let water into the base. We fill them before sealing so they do not grow into bigger problems.
Oil & Fuel Stains
Petroleum softens asphalt over time. We treat oil spots before sealcoating so the new coat bonds properly.
Loose Surface Aggregate
Early raveling means the binder is wearing away. Sealcoating helps lock the surface in place before it breaks down further.
Water Getting Into the Surface
Unsealed asphalt absorbs water that weakens the base. A fresh sealcoat helps keep water out.
Tired Curb Appeal
A faded lot makes the whole property look neglected. Sealcoat and fresh striping make a strong first impression.
How We Sealcoat Commercial Parking Lots
A clean, organized process keeps your lot looking sharp and your property open for business.
Site Assessment
An estimator checks the condition of your asphalt and confirms sealcoating is the right fit.
Clean & Prep
We clean the surface of dirt, debris and loose material so the sealcoat bonds properly.
Crack Fill & Oil Spots

Choosing the Right Maintenance
Sealcoating protects good pavement, but it cannot fix pavement that has already failed. During your free site assessment, we tell you honestly which one your lot needs.
Sealcoating Is the Right Fit When
Your asphalt is structurally sound and needs protection.
- The surface is faded but still solid
- Cracks are small and can be filled
- There are few or no potholes
- You want to extend the life of your pavement
Resurfacing Is Better When
The pavement has worn past what sealcoat can protect.
- Alligator cracking covers large areas
- Potholes keep coming back
- The base is soft, sinking or rutted
- Water ponds and soaks into the pavement
Sealcoating in Action
Sealcoating FAQs
How often should a commercial parking lot be sealcoated?
It depends on traffic, sun exposure and the condition of the pavement. Most commercial lots benefit from sealcoating on a regular maintenance schedule. We recommend a schedule for your property after a site assessment.
Do you fill cracks before sealcoating?
Yes. We clean the surface, fill cracks and treat oil spots before applying sealcoat, so the coating bonds well and lasts longer.
Can you restripe after sealcoating?
Yes. Sealcoat covers existing lines, so we restripe stalls, arrows, fire lanes and ADA markings once the sealcoat has cured. Learn about our striping.
Will sealcoating fix potholes or failed asphalt?
No. Sealcoating protects pavement that is still sound. Potholes, alligator cracking and base failure need repair or resurfacing first. See our asphalt repair services.
Can you sealcoat without closing our property?
Yes. We can work in sections and schedule evenings or weekends so tenants, customers and deliveries keep moving.
