Maintenance Plans
Year 1 To Year 5
A predictable schedule that keeps pavement performing at 15 years instead of failing at 7. Every plan is customized to the lot at signature — this is the baseline we recommend.
Year 1
Cure & Observe
- Return-to-service inspection30-day walk with your operations lead. Note tire scuff, edge issues, and drainage.
- First sealcoat @ 90–120 daysGemSeal PolyTar® applied when the mat has off-gassed and cured enough to bond.
- Restripe if fadedOnly if the general contractor's temporary lines haven't held. Otherwise stripes wait until Year 3.
Year 2
Protect The Investment
- Full pavement inspectionQuarterly walk. Photograph and log any crack over 1/4".
- Crack routing & hot-pour sealDuraCrack® applied before winter to keep water out of the base.
- Restripe stalls and fire lanesRefresh SetFast® paint before visibility drops below 50%.
Year 3
Refresh Cycle
- Second sealcoatStandard Middle Georgia commercial cycle — every 2–3 years.
- Crack seal maintenanceRoute and seal any new cracks before the sealer coat goes down.
- Full restripeStalls, fire lanes, ADA symbols, curb paint, arrows, and stops.
Year 5
Structural Review
- Structural walk with foremanLook at base performance, edge raveling, and drainage patterns.
- Full-depth patch as neededIsolated failed areas cut out and rebuilt before they spread.
- Third sealcoatThird sealer cycle. At Year 5 healthy pavement is on its predictable long-life curve.

FAQ
Plan Questions
Do you offer annual maintenance contracts?
Yes. For commercial customers we structure a fixed annual maintenance agreement — sealer, crack seal, and restripe on a recurring cadence with locked pricing.
What does year one really require?
Very little. Fresh asphalt just needs cure time and observation. Your first real service call is the 90–120 day walkthrough where we plan the first sealcoat.
What if I skip a cycle?
Skipping a sealcoat cycle usually costs 4–6× more in year 6 than the sealcoat would have cost. UV oxidation and water intrusion are cumulative — small fixes today, resurfacing later.
