Questions We
Actually Get Asked.

Our focus is commercial — parking lots, drive lanes and loading areas for churches, schools, medical offices, retail centers, corporate campuses, industrial yards and multifamily properties. That is deliberate. Commercial lots wear differently than driveways do, and the equipment, phasing and traffic control they take is a different setup.

That said, give us a call. Depending on the size of the job and where it falls in the schedule, a residential project may well be something we can help you with. If it turns out not to be the right fit for our crew and equipment, we will tell you straight rather than string you along.

It depends on square footage, the condition of what is already down, and how much preparation the surface needs before anything goes on it — a lot that needs crack sealing and patching first is a different number than one that just needs a coat. We do not quote from a satellite photo. The assessment is free: we walk the property, measure it, and give you a written scope with the number attached to it.

Call or text (405) 437-0694, or send the details through the request form. We come out, walk the lot with you, and tell you what actually needs doing, what can wait a season, and what is not worth spending money on yet. You get that in writing whether or not you hire us.

The Oklahoma City metro — Oklahoma City, Edmond, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Mustang, Midwest City, Del City, Bethany, Newcastle and Choctaw. If your property sits just outside that, call and ask — the answer is often yes.

Yes. Heartland is fully insured, and certificates of insurance are available on request. Most property managers want the COI before the crew arrives; tell us who to send it to and we will get it over.

Not on its own. Sealer is a wear layer rather than a crack filler — coat straight over a working crack and it simply bridges it, then splits back open along the same line within a season. So anything wide enough to take material gets hot-pour crack sealed first, then coated. It is an extra step, and it is most of the difference between a lot that still looks right next spring and one that does not. More on crack sealing.

Yes. Before the first coat goes down we photograph and measure the existing layout — every stall, arrow, fire lane and marking — so it can be replaced accurately. If you want the count or the traffic flow changed while the lot is blank, that is the cheapest moment to do it, and we will lay it out with you. More on striping.

Both, and we will tell you which one you actually need. Sealcoat protects a lot that is structurally sound. It does nothing for a section where the base has failed — that needs cutting out and replacing. Alligatored and heavily spalled areas are a repair, not a seal, and sealing them is money thrown at a section that is going to come apart anyway. More on asphalt repair.

Usually a section at a time, not the whole property. Most commercial lots get phased — half the lot then the other half, or back-of-house before the front. You get a lot map showing what closes when, plus the cones, barricades and signage to run it. The goal is that your tenants and customers keep using the property while we work.

That is normal for us. Retail and medical properties usually run nights and early mornings. Churches and schools usually get weekdays while the campus is quiet. We schedule around your hours rather than asking you to close for ours.

Roughly mid-April through late October. Sealer needs warm surface temperature and dry weather to cure properly, so the window is genuinely weather-bound — it is not a scheduling preference. Booking in late winter is how you get the date you want instead of the date that is left over in September.

There is no single number that is honest for every property. It depends on traffic volume, sun exposure, drainage, and what condition the surface was in when it was last done. What we can tell you is what to watch for: the surface going from black to gray and looking dry, loose aggregate collecting along curb lines, water sitting and darkening the surface long after rain, and striping fading. If the lines are going, the surface usually went first. We will give you a straight read on where yours is and when it will want the next coat.

Depends on the service. Hot-pour crack sealing sets quickly and sections generally reopen the same day, which makes it one of the easiest things to fit around a busy property. Sealcoat needs real cure time and we hold sections closed until they are ready to take traffic. Opening early is how you get tire marks and pull-up, so we do not do it, even when asked.

Because freeze-thaw is what turns a small crack into a big one. The OKC metro averages about seventy nights a year below freezing and roughly sixty days where the temperature crosses the freezing line. Water gets into an open crack, freezes, expands, and pries the edges apart — then does it again the next night. Keeping water out of the pavement is most of what preventative maintenance is actually for. More on maintenance programs.

Yes — ADA stalls, access aisles, ramp markings and signage are part of what we do, and they are the markings most often wrong on an older lot because the standards changed after it was built. We lay out and stripe to the current ADA Standards for Accessible Design as we understand them, and we will tell you plainly where your existing layout does not match. More on ADA striping.

We will lay out and stripe your accessible stalls, access aisles and signage to the current standards as we understand them, and we will flag anything we notice that looks off while we are out there. What we cannot do is certify the property as a whole, because accessibility also covers slopes, surfaces, routes and building elements that sit outside what a pavement contractor controls. For a formal compliance determination, that is a question for a qualified accessibility consultant or your attorney.
