Why Sealcoating Matters in Bothell

Bothell’s long wet seasons, shaded areas, and steady traffic accelerate asphalt wear, especially in drive lanes and entrances. Sealcoating helps slow oxidation and surface raveling, while crack sealing helps keep water out of the pavement structure.

• Extend pavement life by protecting the asphalt surface
• Reduce water intrusion through proper crack sealing
• Maintain a clean appearance for customers and tenants

Common Bothell Areas That See Faster Wear

• Commercial lots along Main Street and Downtown Bothell
• Retail and office properties in Canyon Park
• Industrial sites near Bothell-Everett Highway
• Higher-traffic sites near parks and public spaces like Bothell Landing Park

Bothell Sealcoating FAQs

How often should a parking lot be sealcoated?

Many Bothell lots benefit from sealcoating every 2–3 years depending on traffic and exposure. Entrances and main drive lanes typically wear faster.

Does sealcoating fix cracks?

No. Cracks should be properly sealed first when the pavement condition supports it.

Can work be phased so businesses stay open?

Yes. We schedule sealcoating in phases around deliveries, ADA routes, and peak hours whenever possible.
