Sealcoating Contractor in Little Rock, AR

The Cheapest Thing You Will Ever Do to Your Asphalt

Sealcoating is the cheapest thing you can do for asphalt and the easiest thing to do badly.

Every year we get called out to re seal driveways where somebody sprayed a coat over a dirty surface the season before. It looked sharp for about six weeks. Then it started lifting in sheets, because sealer does not bond to dust, oil or a wet crack. The homeowner paid twice.

Sealcoating is our specialty. Asphalt Rehab is a locally owned sealcoating contractor in Little Rock, AR, working out of 1421 Marshall St. Driveways in Hillcrest, the Heights and Pleasant Valley. Church and school lots off Mississippi and Rodney Parham. Retail and office lots along Cantrell, Markham and Chenal Parkway.

Here is why it matters in central Arkansas specifically. Our summers bake the oils out of the top of the asphalt until it turns gray and brittle. Then the storms arrive, water finds every open crack, and winter freeze and thaw pries them wider. Repeat that for a few years with nothing on top and you stop needing sealcoating and start needing paving.

Most driveways here want a fresh coat every two to three years. Busy commercial lots often want it sooner.

Driveway Sealcoating

Most residential driveways are a one visit job. We clean the surface, treat the oil spots so the sealer can bond, fill the cracks, then apply commercial grade sealer and cut clean edges along the garage, walks and grass. Stay off it overnight and park on it the next day in most weather.

Commercial Lot Sealcoating

Retail, office, church and apartment lots across the metro. We stage the work in sections so you never lose the whole lot, and we can run early mornings, evenings or weekends when a business cannot give up parking during the day. Striping goes back down once the sealer has cured, and we can update the layout or add ADA spaces while we are out there.

Crack Filling Comes First

Sealer is a coating, not a filler. Any crack wider than a pencil gets cleaned out and filled with hot rubberized material before we seal, because that is where water gets in. Skipping this step is the single most common reason a seal job fails early, and it is exactly the step a cheap bid leaves out.

What Sealcoating Will Not Fix

Straight talk saves you money. Sealcoating protects good asphalt. It does not repair a failing base, close an alligatored area or fill a pothole. If your surface is cracked in a scale pattern, the damage is underneath and sealing over it hides it for a season. We will put that on the estimate rather than tell you afterward, and point you to asphalt repair instead.

The Prep That Makes Sealer Stick

What happens before any sealer comes off the truck:

• Blow and sweep the surface clean, edge to edge
• Scrub and prime oil and fuel spots so the coat can bond
• Clean out and fill cracks with hot rubberized filler
• Cut back the grass and dirt that has crept over the edges
• Apply commercial grade sealer at the right spread rate, usually two coats
• Block the area and let it cure fully before traffic returns

Why Little Rock Property Owners Call Us

Sealcoating is not a sideline for us, it is the core of the business. Going back to the same driveways and lots year after year teaches you which surfaces are worth protecting and which ones are past it.

We are locally owned and based at 1421 Marshall St in Little Rock. You are talking to the crew, not a call center.

This work is seasonal. Sealer needs warm, dry weather to cure, so the calendar fills from late spring through early fall. Calling early gets you the date you want.

Every estimate is in writing before we start, including whether we are putting down one coat or two. Two sealcoating bids can look identical on paper and describe very different work.
