Question 1

What does seal coating actually do for asphalt parking lots?

Accepted Answer

Seal coating protects asphalt from water penetration, UV oxidation, road salt, and surface wear. It helps extend the life of a parking lot and improves appearance but does not fix structural damage.

Question 2

How long does seal coating last in Ontario's climate?

Accepted Answer

In Ontario, seal coating typically lasts 2-3 years, depending on traffic levels, sun exposure, and whether cracks are properly maintained.

Question 3

Why is crack repair important for parking lots in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

Crack repair prevents water from entering the asphalt, where freeze-thaw cycles can cause rapid expansion and structural damage.

Question 4

When is the best time of year for asphalt crack repair?

Accepted Answer

Crack repair is most effective from late spring through early fall, when temperatures allow repair materials to properly bond.

Question 5

Do churches need AODA-compliant parking lot striping in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

Most churches in Ontario are required to comply with AODA standards when providing parking for the public, including proper accessible spaces and signage.

Question 6

What makes line striping AODA-compliant?

Accepted Answer

AODA-compliant striping includes correct space dimensions, access aisles, high-contrast pavement markings, and required vertical signage.

Question 7

What's included in the Steward Protection Package?

Accepted Answer

The package includes seal coating, hot rubber crack filling, AODA-compliant line striping, free drone inspection with property photos, a 3-Year Stewardship Guarantee, and priority scheduling for Founding Communities.

Question 8

How long does a seal coating project take to complete?

Accepted Answer

Most church and commercial parking lots can be seal coated in one day, with 24-48 hours required for curing before vehicle traffic resumes.

Question 9

Can seal coating be scheduled around church services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Seal coating is commonly scheduled mid-week to avoid weekends, worship services, and special events, minimizing disruption.

Question 10

What exactly does 'workmanship warranty' mean?

Accepted Answer

We guarantee that our seal coating, crack filling, and line striping will perform as expected for 3 years. If our work fails prematurely due to application issues, we'll redo it at no charge. What we DON'T guarantee is that your asphalt won't develop new problems from weather, traffic, or age—because no contractor can control Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles.
