Fall brings cooler temps, rain and prep for winter. The best time to get ahead? Late summer. Shield Asphalt helps property owners get their surfaces sealed and ready before the weather shifts.

What to Tackle Before Fall

  • Sealcoat: Protect before UV and summer wear turn to cracks
  • Crack Repair: Stop water intrusion before freeze-thaw damage begins
  • Drainage Review: Ensure rain won’t pool and weaken your base

Why Timing Matters

Late summer means warm days and dry conditions which is perfect for curing sealant. Waiting too long risks shortened curing windows or having to delay until next spring.

Let Shield Asphalt help you beat the rush and protect your investment.

When you choose Shield Asphalt, you're choosing expert maintenance, premium materials and a team that stands behind every job. Get the lasting protection your property deserves with service you can rely on from start to finish.
