Per the phase map, typically a single cure window per section — set honestly for the season and the property's end of town, and treated as a commitment: the reopening time on the notice is the reopening time. Sections are sized so displacement fits the community's overflow, and no resident's alternative parking runs open-ended.

Because the variables that cost money are invisible on application day: dilution beyond spec, stretched coverage rates, one coat sold as two, and skipped prep all cut price without cutting the day-one appearance. Line the bids up on mix, coverage, coats, and prep — the spread usually explains itself, and the cheapest number is frequently the most expensive coat.

For low-traffic surfaces occasionally; for commercial and community lots, two coats with proper cure between them is the standard that survives traffic — the second coat is where the wear life lives. A "single heavy coat" pitch is usually a thin coat with a story.

Valley properties: the early-summer windows, applied mornings before surfaces overheat. Coastal properties: the clear late-summer and fall stretch, past the gray mornings and the tourist peak. Portfolio owners get both — sequenced across one season so each property coats in its own best weather.

On a longer cycle, yes: the roof spares them UV but not water, oil, and tire wear, so they age slower and differently than open stalls. Programs here typically coat them every other cycle — protection matched to exposure, which is also the honest way to price it.

It's the cheapest facelift a community can buy at exactly the right moment: a freshly sealed, freshly striped lot photographs like new pavement and reads as management that maintains. Timed ahead of the summer turnover wave, one coat works the whole season's tours.
