Asphalt Seal Coating for homes in Lauderdale Lakes and the surrounding area, by a vetted MB pro near you. Free estimate.
What to check first
What you might be seeing
- Asphalt that has turned from black to dull grey and looks dry or rough
- Hairline cracks or a web of cracks in a driveway, carport apron or condo parking lot
- Puddles that stay long after a thunderstorm
- Dark oil stains that feel soft or tacky
- Faded parking stripes and markings
Safe to check yourself
- Walk the pavement after a rain and note where water sits, since standing water gets into cracks and weakens the base.
- Pour a cup of water on a grey section. If it soaks in instead of beading, the surface is porous.
- Look at the edges and note whether they crumble or whether cracks have branched into a pattern.
- Take photos of oil spots, cracks and faded striping to share with your pro and your association.
Stop and get a pro if…
- Sunken, dipping or crumbling areas, which suggest the base underneath is failing and sealing alone won't fix it
- Deep potholes in a lane people drive or walk on. Cone them off and get a pro.
- Water running toward a building or collecting against a wall or foundation
- Cracking or settling around an automatic gate, its track or any buried conduit. Don't dig or probe.
What to ask the pro
- Will cracks be cleaned and filled and potholes patched before the seal coat goes on, rather than sealing over broken pavement?
- How long must traffic stay off, and what happens to the schedule if a storm rolls in?
- Does my scope need a permit or a license, and who handles it? I will verify on the Florida DBPR website.
- Can I get a written estimate listing the area, prep work, striping and cure time?
- If this is an association lot, how will residents be notified and where can they park during the work?
Lauderdale Lakes was mostly built out between the late 1950s and the 1980s, and a very large share of it is low-rise condo and co-op buildings with shared parking lots and drives that are now decades old. Sealing that pavement is planned work: the surface has to be clean and dry, cracks and potholes need attention first, and residents need notice about where they can't park while it cures. In a city with a May–October rainy season and daily summer thunderstorms, the schedule matters as much as the product.
Call (954) 707-6550 or send the form, and we match you with a vetted, independent pro near you and book the visit. Your MB pro gives the free estimate, walks the pavement with you and does the work. That can include crack filling, oil spot priming, patching, seal coat and line striping. We stay your point of contact from the first call to the finished lot.
Lauderdale Lakes pavement works against constant moisture. Summer storms push water into cracks and soften the base, and Florida's intense UV oxidizes asphalt until it turns grey, brittle and porous. The housing stock adds to it: single-car garages, carports and condo lots built from the 1960s to the 1980s often carry original or first-generation paving. Oil and fuel dripping onto parking spaces soften the binder, and sealing over pavement that is already broken, instead of patching it first, wastes the job.
Problems to watch for in Lauderdale Lakes
Water in cracks
Daily summer thunderstorms send water into open cracks, where it undermines the base. Cleaning and filling cracks before sealing slows that damage.
UV-oxidized, grey surface
Strong Florida sun dries out the binder so asphalt turns grey and porous. A fresh seal coat helps protect what is left.
Oil and fuel spots in parking areas
Condo and co-op lots here see steady parking in the same spaces. Oil spots should be primed so the seal coat can bond.
Sealing too early on new asphalt
Fresh paving needs time before it is sealed. Ask your pro how long to wait on any recently paved drive or lot.
Sealing over broken pavement
A seal coat is a surface treatment, not a structural repair. Potholes and failing edges need patching first or they will reappear.
Tire marks from early traffic
Cars driving on the surface before it cures leave marks. With shared lots, plan parking and notices ahead of time.
What your MB pro can help with
- Crack cleaning and rubberized fillingYour MB pro cleans out cracks and fills them with a flexible material so water has a harder time reaching the base.
- Seal coat applicationYour pro applies seal coat by squeegee or spray across driveways, carport aprons, parking lots and private roads.
- Oil spot primingStained spaces get treated first so the new coating can grip the surface.
- Pothole and edge patchingDamaged areas are patched before sealing, which matters on older condo lots.
- Line striping and markingsOnce the surface has cured, your pro can restripe parking spaces and markings so the lot is clear again.
Permits and codes in Lauderdale Lakes
Florida (ch. 489, F.S.) requires a state license for roofing, plumbing, air-conditioning, electrical, pool and general, building and residential contracting. Seal coating is not named in that list, so ask your pro what applies to your scope and verify any license on the Florida DBPR website. DBPR oversees the Construction Industry Licensing Board and the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board. Local business tax receipts may apply. The pro is responsible for any permit or license the work requires, so verify with the local building department. Condo and co-op lots in Lauderdale Lakes often sit in association-governed communities, and exterior work in Florida often needs association approval, so check with your board or manager before the visit.
Your MB pro handles the permit when the job needs one. You can look up a contractor's license at Florida DBPR.
When to reach out
Rain is the main scheduling issue here. Lauderdale Lakes has a May–October rainy season with daily summer thunderstorms, and the hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30 and peaks mid-August through October. Sealing needs dry weather and cure time, so talk with your pro about timing and a backup plan. Demand also picks up in the winter months when seasonal residents return, so booking early helps. Call (954) 707-6550 or request a free estimate with the form on the page, and we will match you with a vetted pro near you and book the visit.

Seal Coating in Lauderdale Lakes: common questions
- Does my condo or co-op association need to approve seal coating in Lauderdale Lakes?
- Much of the city's condo stock sits in association-governed communities, and exterior work often needs association approval in Florida. Check with your board or manager first. Your MB pro can give a written scope to include in the request.
- When is the best time to seal asphalt in Lauderdale Lakes?
- The pavement needs to be dry and then left to cure, so the May–October rainy season with daily thunderstorms is the hard part. Ask your pro to plan around the forecast and give a backup date. Winter months are busy with returning seasonal residents, so book early.
- Can seal coating fix potholes or sunken areas?
- No. Seal coat protects the surface, but sunken or crumbling sections point to a base problem and need patching first. With decades-old paving common in the city's 1960s–80s lots, ask your pro to walk the pavement and tell you which areas need patching.
- Does seal coating need a permit or state license?
- Florida's state license list covers roofing, plumbing, air-conditioning, electrical, pool and general, building and residential contracting, and seal coating is not named there. Verify your scope with the Florida DBPR website and the local building department. The pro is responsible for any permit or license the work requires.
