Patching & Repair
What types of repairs do you offer?
We provide surface patching, full-depth replacement, pothole filling, and crack repair.
Do I need to stay off the repaired area afterward?
Yes, we usually recommend avoiding vehicle traffic for 12–24 hours to allow proper curing. Pedestrian traffic may be fine sooner, depending on the repair type.
Will the patch match the rest of my asphalt?
Yes. Our team ensures clean edges and smooth blending for a professional finish.
Will patching fix drainage problems, too?
Not always. Patching can help with surface damage, but if your lot or driveway has standing water, you may need grading or drainage adjustments. We can let you know if that’s the case during the inspection.
Why choose Armor Asphalt for Asphalt Patching and Repair?
We use high-quality materials and proven techniques and deliver long-lasting results specific to your surface.
Crack Sealer
What does your crack sealing service include?
It includes cleaning, prepping, and applying a hot rubberized sealant for a watertight and flexible seal.
Is this for big cracks or small ones?
Both. Our asphalt crack sealer process handles a wide range of crack sizes to prevent them from spreading.
How long does it take to dry?
The material cools quickly, and most surfaces are traffic-ready within hours.
Will it stop weeds from growing in cracks?
Yes. Sealing closes off access to light and moisture, which helps block weed growth.
How do I know if I need crack sealing?
If you see visible cracks, even small ones, it's time. Early sealing avoids major repairs later.
Sealcoating
How often should asphalt be sealcoated?
We recommend every 2–3 years, depending on traffic and weather conditions.
Can Armor Asphalt sealcoat both commercial and residential?
Absolutely. Our asphalt sealcoating company serves homeowners, businesses, and property managers across Northeast Arkansas.
Can sealcoating fix existing cracks or potholes?
No, sealcoating is not a way to fix damage; it's a protective layer. You should fill in cracks and potholes before applying the sealer to make sure the finish looks smooth and lasts a long time.
Will sealcoating make the surface slippery?
Not with our mix. We mix sand into our sealcoat to make it less slippery. This is helpful in driveways and parking lots where there is heavy vehicle and foot traffic.
Do I need to move my vehicles or clear the area before sealcoating?
Yes. The surface must be completely clear of vehicles, debris, and personal items before we arrive. We’ll coordinate timing with you to minimize disruption.
How do I maintain my pavement after sealcoating?
Keep it clean by sweeping off debris, avoid sharp turns with tires for a few days, and don’t park heavy equipment on it immediately after curing. Reseal it after years to keep it protected.
How do I know if my pavement is ready for sealcoating?
If your surface looks faded, feels dry, or has small cracks appearing, then it’s time to check. A quick look can help us see if the asphalt is good enough to seal or if it needs repairs first.
Will sealcoating affect parking lot striping?
Yes, striping needs to be redone after sealcoating. We provide professional re-striping services to make parking lines, wheel stops, and directional arrows clear and compliant again.
Commercial Striping
What kind of paint do you use for commercial parking lot striping?
We use high-durability, traffic-grade paint that’s formulated for asphalt surfaces and built to withstand UV exposure, rain, and heavy traffic. Fast-drying options are available to reduce downtime on busy lots.
Is striping necessary after sealcoating?
Absolutely. Striping restores the visibility and organization lost during sealcoating.
How often should I re-stripe my parking lot?
We recommend re-striping your parking lot every 1–2 years, or sooner if the lines start to fade or cause confusion. Clear markings keep everything running smoothly!
What's the difference between re-striping and a new parking lot layout?
Re-striping refreshes your existing lines for better visibility, while a new layout creates traffic flow or parking spaces. We’re here to help with both, depending on your needs!
What types of businesses do you stripe for?
Retail, offices, medical facilities, churches, factories, restaurants, you name it. If you’ve got a lot, we’ve got the stripes.
How do I get started with commercial parking lot striping?
Getting started is easy! Just give us a call or reach out through our website for a free site evaluation and quote. We’ll handle the rest, ensuring minimal disruption to your business hours.
How do I know if my lot meets current ADA striping requirements?
ADA standards can change over time. Our team stays up to date with federal and state regulations and can audit your lot to ensure all accessible spaces, signs, and access paths are properly marked.
Maintenance
Why should I hire a professional instead of doing it myself?
A professional asphalt maintenance company has the right tools, materials, and experience to do the job well and make it last. DIY jobs can lead to uneven surfaces or missed spots, which may cost you more to fix later.
How often should asphalt be sealcoated?
You should sealcoat every 2 to 3 years. This protects the surface from sun, water, and oil damage and helps keep it from cracking or fading.
How do I know if my asphalt needs maintenance or replacement?
Minor cracks and fading may need maintenance, while major damage may require resurfacing or replacement. Armor Asphalt can recommend the best solution.
Can you match new asphalt repairs to the existing asphalt surface?
Yes. While fresh asphalt may appear darker at first, it will weather and blend in over time. We use proper compaction and quality mix to create a seamless transition.
How do I prepare my property for asphalt maintenance?
Clear the area of vehicles, debris, and any obstacles. For parking lots, notify customers or tenants in advance and arrange temporary parking if needed.
Do small cracks really need to be repaired right away?
Yes. Even hairline cracks let water in, which can weaken the base and lead to much more expensive repairs. Crack sealing is one of the most cost-effective preventive measures.
Do you remove old paint before re-striping?
We can. While not always necessary for standard re-striping, removing old lines may be recommended if you’re changing your parking lot layout or if the old markings interfere with visibility.
Paving
Do you handle both new paving projects and resurfacing?
Absolutely! Whether it’s installing brand-new asphalt or giving your existing surface a fresh start with resurfacing, we’ve got you covered.
How do I know if I need resurfacing or a full replacement?
If the base layer is intact and the damage is mostly surface-level (like minor cracking or wear), resurfacing is a cost-effective solution. However, if there are drainage issues, large potholes, or soft spots, a full replacement may be necessary.
Will my business need to shut down during the paving process?
Not necessarily. We offer flexible scheduling, including possible weekend work, and can pave in sections to maintain access for customers or employees during construction.
How long will my new asphalt last?
With proper maintenance like sealcoating and crack sealing, your commercial pavement can last 15–25 years or more.
Can you help design a more efficient parking layout?
Yes. We often work with clients to reconfigure parking for better flow, more spaces, or ADA compliance.
