Sealcoating Case Study

There is no denying that Connecticut enjoys some of the nation's most brilliant fall foliage. For some people, autumn represents a time to relax and recover from a hectic summer. For others, however, the fall foliage reminds them that they overlooked having fresh sealcoating applied during the summer. They are wondering whether there it is possible to have sealcoating applied in the fall. If the weather cooperates, it may not be too late to protect your asphalt pavement from the winter weather.

Challenges of Sealcoating in the Fall
Sealcoating professionals must overcome a number of challenges to deliver quality work during the autumn months. Sealants need sufficient exposure to sunlight to cure properly, and as the days grow shorter, this can make the job more difficult. In addition, the water contained in the sealant must evaporate at the correct rate; cooler temperatures and high humidity levels reduce the rate of evaporation. Another challenge involves falling leaves; if they land on the pavement before the sealcoating is dry, they will stick to the sealant, weakening its strength and marring its appearance.

The scope of the job can also present challenges. If two coats of sealant must be applied to a large parking lot, for example, it is highly unlikely that the contractor can finish the job in one
