What Commercial Clients Say About Bart's
Here’s what property owners and managers in Novi have shared about working with Bart’s Asphalt.
Why Sealcoating Pays Off in Jackson's Climate
Why does a lot here need sealing more often than one down south? Jackson weather conditions are the reason, and they work on your asphalt three ways at once.
- Freeze-thaw: Water seeps into hairline cracks, freezes overnight, and expands hard enough to widen them. A sealed surface keeps that water out before it can start the cycle.
- Road salt: Winter de-icing accelerates oxidation and eats at the binder holding your asphalt together. Sealcoat is the barrier between the salt and the surface.
- UV and oxidation: Sun bakes the asphalt gray and brittle, so it cracks sooner. A fresh seal coat restores the dark black color to asphalt while protecting it from sun damage.
Sealcoating is a crucial way to protect and extend asphalt surfaces in this climate.
Skip a season or two of sealing and you don’t save money; you just move the cost to a full repave years early.

Asphalt Paving & Resurfacing
New installs and resurfacing for parking lots, private roads, and commercial drives. Our team specializes in asphalt paving solutions designed for commercial parking lots, private roads, and drives in Holt, MI. When a surface is too far gone to patch, we mill out the failed asphalt and lay a fresh, durable overlay for smooth, visually appealing surfaces and long lasting results.
Pothole & Asphalt Repair
Targeted asphalt repairs and pothole repairs that stop the damage from spreading, including infrared repair for seamless, longer-lasting patches with minimal downtime for your operation. Timely repairs enhance safety and appearance while helping extend pavement lifespan.
Sealcoating
A protective surface layer that shields your asphalt from UV rays, oxidation, and chemicals, and brings back that clean, deep-black finish.
Crack Sealing
Hot-pour rubberized material that fills deep cracks and blocks the water infiltration that drives Michigan’s freeze-thaw failures.
Line Striping & ADA Marking
Crisp stalls, fire lanes, and ADA-compliant accessible markings. Faded lines aren’t just unsightly — they’re a legal risk.
Concrete
We handle a variety of concrete services for curbs, approaches, and concrete repairs to finish the lot off properly.
A Note for Homeowners
To be clear about scope: Sealcoating is the one service Bart’s provides to homeowners. That means driveway sealcoating, done right. We do not offer residential asphalt paving or asphalt repairs, and all other residential work, from concrete to anything beyond driveway sealcoating, falls outside what we do. Everything else on this page is commercial.
Routine maintenance helps address small issues before they become major asphalt repair problems. This reduces long-term expenses and helps maximize pavement lifespan.
Damaged pavement and missing markings can create safety and compliance concerns. Well-maintained surfaces help lower the risk of accidents and potential claims.
Proper planning allows projects to be completed with minimal impact on daily operations. Flexible scheduling helps keep businesses accessible during construction and maintenance work.
Quality materials and proper installation practices help pavement withstand Michigan weather conditions. The result is fewer repairs and better long-term value for your investment.
Your parking lot is often the first thing visitors notice about your property. A clean and professional surface improves curb appeal and creates a positive impression from the moment they arrive.

Our Commercial Sealcoating Process
01
Clean and Prep
We clear the lot of dirt, debris, and loose material, and treat oil spots so the sealant can actually bond; sealcoating is best applied when pavement is in good condition to ensure lasting coverage. Our team uses specialized equipment and highest quality materials during prep and application.
02
Crack Sealing First
Cracks get filled as an important step before sealing, and regular crack sealing helps prevent pavement deterioration while stopping structural damage in asphalt surfaces. We use a hot-pour rubberized material that fills deep cracks, supports timely repairs, and blocks the water infiltration that drives freeze-thaw failure.
03
Sealcoat Application
We apply premium Gem Seal sealcoating with professional equipment across the whole surface to ensure a smooth, uniform, deep-black finish and durable, long-lasting results for superior results.
04
Back in Service Fast
A standard lot seals in about one to two days. Many clients schedule evening or weekend work so we can meet business needs without disrupting daily operations, and we explain the best way to time the job so customers and staff can keep using the property.
How Often Should You Reseal?
Wondering what cadence makes sense? For most commercial lots in this climate, the rule of thumb is simple:
- Every 2–4 years for a standard lot in Jackson
- Sooner for high-traffic lots and freshly cracked surfaces
- Before winter whenever the surface is due — sealing ahead of freeze-thaw keeps water and salt out
Timely sealcoating can increase the life of asphalt by 30% or more and help extend the time before major repairs.
Our winters wear sealant down faster than milder regions do, so a lot that looked fine in fall can be exposed by spring. The honest answer for your lot comes from a look at it; that’s what the free on-site estimate is for.

What Commercial Sealcoating Protects Against
Sealcoating lays down a protective surface layer that helps our sealcoating services improve and enhance the appearance of asphalt surfaces, while shielding your whole lot from the things that age it fastest:
- Water intrusion that drives freeze-thaw cracking
- UV rays and oxidation that fade the surface and contribute to sun damage
- Oil, gas, and chemical spills that break asphalt down
- Road salt and de-icers tracked across the lot all winter
The result is a lot that lasts longer, looks better, and makes anyone driving on it feel safer. A fresh sealcoat can enhance property appearance and value while helping hold off the structural damage that forces a tear-out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does sealcoating a commercial lot take?
A standard parking lot seals in about one to two days, depending on lot size and weather conditions, and our crew uses specialized equipment to help ensure an efficient schedule. We give you a specific timeline in your written estimate.
How often should we reseal?
Most commercial lots here do well with a fresh coat every two to three years to help extend asphalt life; sooner for high-traffic surfaces. The exact interval also depends on traffic and weather conditions. Our freeze-thaw winters wear sealant down faster than milder climates.
Should we sealcoat or repave?
If the base is sound and the damage is surface-level, crack sealing and sealcoating are crucial and work best when the pavement is still in good condition, buying you years for a fraction of the cost. If the base has failed, you need resurfacing or replacement. We’ll tell you honestly which one your lot needs.
Can you seal around our business hours?
Yes. Many clients schedule evening or weekend work so we can seal the lot to meet your daily operations and business hours without turning customers and staff away.
When's the best time to seal before winter?
Ahead of the freeze-thaw season. Sealing and crack filling before winter keeps water and road salt out, which is what stops small cracks from becoming potholes; if that damage has already progressed, those repairs should be handled first, including pothole repair with hot-mix asphalt when part of the prep.
Which areas do you serve?
Jackson, MI and the surrounding county, plus the wider Southeast Michigan region from Jackson to Lansing to Ann Arbor, serving Jackson and nearby communities across MI.
