What are Good Weather Conditions for Sealcoating?

SealcoatingSealcoating can be one of the most rewarding things you can do for your asphalt parking lot. Not only will this improve the look of your parking lot (and curb appeal matters as a business owner), but it will also help protect your asphalt from weathering. So do the right thing for your parking lot and have it sealcoated every 2-7 years, or as needed.

But that’s not why you are here. You want to know if it is too late to sealcoat this year. The good news is that you still have time, but not much. Your window is typically March to early November. So time is running out.

“The best time to sealcoat is from daylight savings time to daylight savings time,” explains Patrick Gillen, owner of Baltimore-based PTG Enterprises, a full service commercial asphalt contractor.

The Pavement Coatings technology Council (PCTC) recommends that all sealcoating be applied only if both ambient temperature and pavement temperature are above 50°F and below 85°F, and there is no rain (or snow) in the forecast. These conditions are important for curing and optimum performance. For these reasons, fall is typically considered the perfect sealcoating season. But don’t wait too long to schedule your sealcoating. Most contractors are very busy this time of year.
