Evansville's Sealcoating Contractor Since 1962 — Pavement Sealing Inc
Pavement Sealing Inc is Evansville's longest-running sealcoating contractor, family-owned and operating from 935 Canal Street since 1962. We apply commercial-grade Star-Seal and Star-Triton sealers to driveways, parking lots, and commercial pavements across Vanderburgh County and the broader Tri-State area — and every estimate is free.
Why Evansville Asphalt Needs Sealcoating Every 2–3 Years
Southern Indiana's climate hits pavement from every angle. Summer heat accelerates oxidation and surface raveling. Winter freeze-thaw cycles open cracks from beneath. Ohio River valley humidity pushes moisture into every unsealed gap. Left untreated, an Evansville driveway or parking lot that costs thousands to replace will show serious deterioration within five to seven years. A professional sealcoat applied every two to three years blocks UV rays, repels water and de-icing salts, and keeps the surface flexible enough to handle traffic load without cracking. It is the single most cost-effective maintenance step for any asphalt surface in the region.
What Makes Pavement Sealing Inc the Right Contractor for Your Job?
We have been at this since 1962 — over six decades of sealcoating driveways, parking lots, apartment complexes, schools, and commercial facilities across Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. That history is not just a number. It means our crews have seen every pavement condition this region produces and know which sealer grade fits each job.
Certified Star-Seal Applicators
Pavement Sealing Inc is a certified applicator of Star-Seal and Star-Seal Supreme — refined tar emulsion sealers recognized for toughness and water repellency in high-traffic commercial applications. Certification means our crews are trained and qualified to apply these products to manufacturer spec, not just a general contractor using off-the-shelf material.
BBB-Accredited Since 2014
We have maintained BBB accreditation since October 2014. That standing reflects a consistent record of resolved complaints and professional conduct — the kind of accountability that matters when you are hiring a contractor to work on your property.

Which Sealer Grade Is Right for Your Pavement?
We carry three commercial-grade sealer lines, and we recommend the right one based on your pavement's age, traffic volume, and condition — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Star-Seal
A heavy-duty refined tar emulsion sealer built for standard residential and light commercial pavements. It forms a tough, flexible coating that resists weather, water penetration, de-icing salts, gasoline, and petrochemicals. Recommended for most Evansville driveways and smaller parking lots.
Star-Seal Supreme
A premium-grade refined tar emulsion for jobs demanding maximum durability. Hot-blended catalyzed rubber and select polymers give it the highest toughness and water repellency in the Star-Seal line. Best suited for high-traffic commercial lots, truck terminals, and facilities with heavy vehicle use.
Star-Triton
A next-generation petroleum resin-based sealer that performs as a high-performance alternative to both refined tar and asphalt emulsion products. Recommended for airfields, specialty surfaces, and clients requiring a non-coal-tar formulation without sacrificing protection.
How We Sealcoat a Driveway or Parking Lot: Our Process
Every sealcoating job follows the same preparation-first sequence. Skipping prep is where most low-bid contractors cut corners and where failures start.
Step 1 — Surface Inspection and Cleaning
We assess the pavement condition, identify active cracks, and clean the surface of oil, debris, and loose material. Oil spots are treated with a primer before sealer is applied — untreated oil stains prevent adhesion and cause peeling within a season.
Step 2 — Crack and Joint Sealing
Open cracks are filled before sealcoating. Applying sealer over unfilled cracks traps moisture below the surface, accelerating freeze-thaw damage. We use rubberized crack filler rated for Indiana's temperature range.
Step 3 — Sealer Application
We apply the appropriate Star-Seal grade in uniform coats using professional spray or squeegee equipment. Coverage is checked for consistency — thin spots or missed areas reduce service life significantly.
Step 4 — Cure Time and Reopening
Sealed surfaces require 24 to 48 hours of cure time before vehicle traffic. Evansville's summer humidity can extend this window. We advise on exact timing based on conditions at the time of your job.
