FAQs

PAR Asphalt Maintenance and Marking

  • What are signs that my driveway or parking lot should be sealcoated?

    Common signs include fading color turning gray, surface dryness, small cracks forming, or water soaking into the asphalt instead of beading on the surface. If your asphalt looks worn or aged, sealcoating can restore protection and appearance.
  • How often should asphalt cracks be maintained or filled?

    Cracks should be inspected annually and filled as soon as they appear. Prompt crack repair prevents water from entering the base, which can cause larger failures like potholes or structural damage. Keep up with driveway and parking lot maintenance to avoid these issues.
  • During hot weather, what should I do about marks on my driveway?

    In extreme heat, asphalt can temporarily soften. Avoid parking heavy vehicles in the same location, turning wheels while stationary, or placing kickstands or sharp objects directly on the surface. These marks usually fade as temperatures cool. If you do end up needing the marks covered up, we offer driveway and parking lot painting.
  • How long should I stay off the driveway after it has been sealcoated?

    We at PAR Asphalt Maintenance and Marking recommend staying off residential driveways for 24-48 hours and commercial parking lots for at least 48 hours to allow full curing after a sealcoating installation, depending on weather conditions.
  • What is the best time of year to sealcoat asphalt?

    The ideal time is late spring through early fall, when temperatures are consistently above 50F and no rain is expected. Ohio's warmer months provide the best conditions for proper curing of sealcoating.
