How Often Should You Reseal Your Parking Lot?

For those of us who own and run a business, we can often relate with one another over the endless chores and upkeep. In some ways, it can seem like there’s no end to those responsibilities, as there’s always something else to do.

Those responsibilities also extend to the appearance and maintenance of your business’s parking lot. A bumpy parking lot with potholes and cracks can easily dissuade potential customers. You likely want to avoid that from happening, which is why you need to know how often you should reseal your parking lot.

The Importance of Appearance

You have likely walked into a fine establishment and admired the wonderful appearance of the business, both inside and out. It’s quite clear that the owners of these businesses give considerable time and attention to the appearance of their business. As a customer, you’re much more willing to give them your business and return, as you know this establishment cares about your experience.

One of the first impressions a customer will receive of your business is the parking lot. What type of impression are you going to give off?

Every Two to Three Years

The general rule of thumb for anyone wondering how often they should reseal their parking lot is about every three to five years. A sealcoat application every three to five years is perfect for maintaining the function and appearance of your parking lot. Moreover, it will prevent costly repairs down the road.

Maintenance in the Meantime

In the time between sealcoats, you might find small cracks in your asphalt parking lot. There is no need to fret, as cracks are common and will occur from time to time. Thankfully, you don’t need to get a sealcoat years sooner than necessary. All you need to do is perform a simple crack repair. That’s why some maintenance in the meantime is always a good idea, as it will keep your parking lot in good condition until the next sealcoat.
