Summer and fall are the best seasons for asphalt repair, seal coating and parking lot striping

Summer and fall are the best time for asphalt repair, seal coating and parking lot striping. The first day of fall is September 22, 2014, just over a month away. For seal coating asphalt, a temperature of around 70 to 80 degrees produces the best results, so summer and early fall are best for that. Rain is also much less likely in the summer.

FloMix for asphalt repair can go down in a wide range of temperatures, but water cannot be present. If you top your FloMix repair with a seal coat, it is best to wait for warm weather. Workers also have more daylight in the summer, so paving contractors can pave and seal coat early or late, when it won't interfere with businesses, churches, schools and so on.

Don't wait until winter comes and it is too late to repair your asphalt.
