Why Michigan Winters Accelerate Pavement Damage
Lansing averages 46 inches of snow per year — 64% above the national average. That means months of plowing pressure and road salt degrading the asphalt binder, followed by the spring thaw that saturates and weakens the subgrade.
Ingham County’s glacial clay soils make it worse. Clay expands during freeze cycles and contracts during thaw, creating movement that undermines pavement from beneath. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles necessitate proactive sealing to prevent water infiltration, which can cause significant pavement damage. Ensuring the durability of your asphalt is essential to withstand these harsh conditions. Add summer UV oxidation on top of that, and unprotected commercial pavement faces year-round attack from every direction.
Routine maintenance is the only cost-effective answer. A crack sealed this spring costs a fraction of the subbase failure it prevents after another winter.

Our Asphalt Maintenance Services in Lansing
Bart’s Asphalt is a single-source contractor for every asphalt maintenance need on your commercial property — one team, one point of contact, one invoice. We offer comprehensive paving services and proudly serve the greater Lansing community, providing expert solutions for road, trail, parking lot, and municipal paving projects. Asphalt paving services enhance the value and appearance of both residential and commercial properties, making them a smart investment for property owners.
Commercial Sealcoating
Sealcoating is the front line of pavement defense. It creates a protective barrier against UV oxidation, water infiltration, road salt, chemical damage, and oil spills, helping to prevent asphalt degradation from substances like oil. For optimal results in Lansing, sealcoating is best performed during the fall, between September and November, when temperatures range between 55°F and 90°F.
Hot-Applied Crack Sealing
Cracks are the entry point for water, salt, and freeze-thaw damage. We use hot-pour rubberized material that bonds directly to the crack walls and flexes with the pavement through temperature swings. Crack sealing prevents moisture infiltration and helps extend the life of asphalt surfaces by stopping water from penetrating and causing further deterioration.
Asphalt Repair and Pothole Repair
From isolated potholes to widespread alligator cracking, we provide durable asphalt repairs engineered for Lansing’s conditions. Asphalt repairs can revitalize pavement and improve safety for everyone using the surface. Our pothole repair services not only improve safety but also prevent damage to vehicles, helping to extend the life of your pavement and protect it from further deterioration.

How We Approach Every Asphalt Maintenance Project
We don’t treat parking lots like residential driveways. Commercial pavements face daily vehicle loads, heavy delivery traffic, and the pressure to keep a business operational. Our professional team of skilled employees is dedicated to upholding the highest safety standards and delivering quality workmanship on every project. At Bart’s Asphalt, we offer a personal, hands-on approach throughout every project to ensure complete customer satisfaction. Our process reflects that.
1. On-Site Assessment
We visit your property to evaluate pavement condition, drainage patterns, traffic flow, and subgrade integrity.
2. Tailored Scope and Scheduling
We build a maintenance scope around your property’s specific needs and your operational schedule. Evening and weekend work is available to minimize disruption.
3. Professional-Grade Materials and Application
We source premium materials from certified Michigan suppliers and engineer mixes for Michigan’s temperature range. Bart’s Asphalt utilizes advanced equipment and adheres to industry standards for quality and safety, ensuring efficient and professional results. Every crew member is OSHA-trained. It is important to select an asphalt contractor that understands the local climate and terrain to ensure durability and long-lasting performance of the asphalt.
4. Final Inspection and Follow-Through
We don’t consider a job complete until you’ve walked the property with us and you’re satisfied. If materials fail due to a defect, we make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asphalt Maintenance in Lansing
Have questions about parking lot maintenance, sealcoating, or crack repair in Mid-Michigan? Our team has answers.
How much does crack filling cost in Lansing?
Crack filling services in Lansing typically average between $100 and $125.
How long do asphalt surfaces last?
With proper maintenance, asphalt surfaces can last 15-20 years.
What is asphalt resurfacing?
Resurfacing involves applying a new layer of 1.5–2.5 inches of asphalt over an existing sound base. This process restores the surface’s appearance and structural integrity, extending the life of worn surfaces by 8-15 years without a full replacement.
What is milling and recycling?
Milling and recycling involve removing old, damaged surface layers to prepare for resurfacing. This process is essential for restoring the pavement and improving its longevity.
What is infrared asphalt repair?
Infrared asphalt repair involves heating existing asphalt to 325°F-350°F, allowing for seamless repairs without cutting the pavement.
Do you install running tracks?
Yes, we have expertise in installing running tracks for schools and fitness centers, providing durable and high-quality surfaces.
What if my pavement is uneven?
If your pavement is uneven, asphalt milling can smooth out high or irregular areas, improving ride quality and preparing the surface for further maintenance.
How do freeze-thaw cycles damage parking lot asphalt?
Water seeps into cracks in the pavement surface. When temperatures drop below freezing, that water expands, widening the crack. When it thaws, more water enters. Over a Michigan winter, this cycle repeats dozens of times — turning hairline cracks into potholes and undermining the aggregate base beneath the surface.
How often should I sealcoat my commercial parking lot?
Every 2 to 3 years under Michigan conditions. Sealcoating creates a barrier against UV oxidation, water penetration, and salt damage — the three biggest threats to asphalt binder in our climate. Skipping a cycle or two can cut years off your pavement’s useful life.
What's the difference between crack sealing and sealcoating?
Yes. We provide residential driveway sealcoating and commercial parking lot sealcoating across Saline and Southeast Michigan. Sealcoating is Bart’s Asphalt’s only residential service — all other services, including paving, concrete, and asphalt repair, are commercial only. Call (517) 888-3208 if you’re unsure what your project needs.
What are the signs my parking lot needs maintenance?
Visible cracking — especially networks of interconnected cracks (alligator cracking) — faded surface color turning gray to white (binder oxidation), standing water after rain, potholes, loose aggregate (raveling), and faded line striping. If you’re seeing any of these, it’s time for a pavement condition assessment.
Does restriping my parking lot require ADA compliance updates?
Yes. Under federal ADA standards, restriping is considered an alteration — which triggers mandatory compliance with current accessible parking requirements. That includes proper space counts, van-accessible dimensions, correct slope grades, and signage. Bart’s Asphalt handles ADA-compliant marking as part of every line striping project.
Is it cheaper to maintain asphalt or wait and repave?
Routine maintenance — sealcoating, crack sealing, and spot repair — costs a fraction of full replacement. Deferred maintenance compounds fast in Michigan: a crack that could be sealed this season becomes subbase failure requiring full reconstruction after another winter. Preventive maintenance extends pavement life and protects your capital investment.
