What We Do for Commercial Properties
More than sealcoating. Paving, repairs, striping, drainage and concrete, priced and scheduled together.
Sealcoating
Brings a gray, faded lot back to black and slows the aging that opens cracks. Pitch Black asphalt emulsion, no coal tar, with sand mixed in for traction.
Crack Sealing
Keeps water out of the base, where every freeze does the real damage. Hot rubber applied at 400 degrees, so it bonds to the crack walls and stays flexible through winter.
Asphalt Repair
Fixes the potholes, alligatored areas and sunken spots people complain about. Failed areas get saw-cut, rebuilt full-depth and compacted, not skinned over.
Striping & ADA Layout
Restripes, new layouts, fire lanes, arrows and numbers. ADA stalls and access aisles marked to the required dimensions, which is what an inspection actually checks.
Asphalt Paving
Overlays and small-lot paving, with the base graded, compacted and drained before the mat goes down, because the base is what decides how long it lasts.
Catch Basin Repair
Takes out the dip and the trip hazard around a sunken storm grate. Excavated, rebuilt with a concrete collar, brought back to grade and tied back into the asphalt.
Concrete
Curb and gutter, loading dock aprons, dumpster pads, sidewalks and flatwork. The concrete and the asphalt around it are priced and scheduled together.
Concrete Repair
Lifted sidewalk panels, broken curb face, an approach cracked at the gutter line. Saw cut at the joints, taken out full depth, the base repaired and poured back flush.
Track & Athletic Surfaces
Asphalt running tracks and courts, resurfaced, sealed and striped to measured layout: lanes, exchange zones and event markings.
The reason to run it as one program instead of piecemeal is sequencing. Repairs come before sealcoat and sealcoat comes before stripes, so doing it out of order means paying twice for the same square foot. Commercial parking lot sealcoating
It also means a number you can put in a budget before the year starts, for the whole lot rather than a piece of it. In winter we also plow commercial lots in Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. See all services
The Right Fix at the Right Time
Most parking lot problems have a cheap fix and an expensive fix, and the difference is usually timing. Here's how the treatment gets matched to what your lot is doing.
We maintain the pavement itself. Sweeping and lot cleaning are a different trade.
| What you're seeing | The right fix | What it prevents |
|---|---|---|
| Surface looks gray and dried out, fine hairline cracking | Sealcoating, on a two to three year cycle | Water and sun aging the asphalt until small cracks become open ones |
| Open cracks you could fit a pencil in | Hot crack sealing | Water reaching the base, where every freeze does real damage |
| Alligatored patches, potholes, areas that are sinking | Cut-and-patch repair | Failed spots spreading into the surrounding pavement |
| Ruts, widespread cracking, whole sections moving | Repaving | Nothing. Once the base is gone this is the fix, and everything above is about pushing this day back |
| A maintained lot, nothing failing | Reseal every 2 to 3 years | The gray-and-cracked cycle from ever starting again |
Timing matters more here than in most places. Eau Claire pavement goes through roughly 90 freeze-thaw cycles a year by NOAA's climate normals, and the worst months are March and November, when every open crack takes water into the base and pries it apart.
What the Bid Covers
Sealers "will wear off quickly under high traffic volumes and effectively do nothing for a pavement that is failing or has failed."Wisconsin Asphalt Pavement Association, 2018 Parking Lot Design Guide
So we don't sell it that way. If someone quotes you sealcoating on a lot with base failure, you're paying to make a problem harder to see. So when we walk your lot we go area by area: this part is sound enough to seal, this part needs repair first, and here is the year for each. Some of them are next year.
What a Customer Said
“Grant and his team came and got the job done in a timely manner and kept good communication the whole time. Being a business owner this helped a lot to keep customers coming in as usual. Highly recommended.”
That's a business owner describing a lot that kept trading while the work got done. The sealer sets the clock: about 24 hours before a car goes back on it, 48 before anything heavy. Where those hours come from on a lot that is open for business is the first thing we talk through when we walk it.

Who We Serve
Property managers and HOAs
You're working to a budget and to a board. You get a price that's fixed before we start, and which parts of the lot can wait a year. Property managers and HOAs
Schools, churches and municipal lots
Big lots and a calendar that decides when the work can happen. We stripe running tracks as well as parking, with measured lanes and exchange zones. School and municipal lots
Retail, industrial and self-storage
The lot is your front door, and it's also where the trucks turn. Sealcoating, patching, dock aprons and drainage, priced together. Retail and industrial lots
How a Commercial Bid Works
If you're putting next year's budget together, a walk-through now gets the number on paper before the season fills.
You call, or send the form
Free on parking lots anywhere in the service area. Square footage or a stall count helps, and so do photos of the worst areas.
We come walk the lot
Measured on site, because square footage is only half of what sets the number. You get told what to fix this year and what can wait.
You get your number
Fixed before we start. The number you approve is the number you pay, which is the part a board or an owner is actually asking about.
Repairs and crack filling come first
Hot rubber at 400 degrees before any sealcoat goes down, and the cure time up front: a car after about 24 hours, anything heavy after 48.
