GoHighLevel for Asphalt Sealcoating and Line Striping: Automate m²/ft² Quotes, Cure Windows, Route Batching, Recurring Plans
TL;DR
Profit slips when quotes lag, rain kills schedules, routes zigzag, and layouts get revised on site. GoHighLevel captures leads, sizes lots by m²/ft² from photos or map pins, prices crack fill, seal, and stripe with clear ranges, enforces weather and cure rules, batches routes by zone, collects deposits, and requests reviews. Cleaner weeks, faster cash, fewer callbacks.

Menu rules
- Oxidized or porous lots need two coats, set the expectation in the quote.
- Alligator or base failure areas are patch, not crack seal, quote per m².
- New layout requires stall widths and counts before scheduling.
- ADA or local stall requirements vary, collect counts and signposts up front.
Weather, cure, and material guardrails
- Temperature pavement and air ≥ 10–12 °C, rising preferred.
- Rain no active rain during application, and no rain forecast inside the product’s cure window, typically 12–24 hours.
- Humidity high RH slows cure, target RH < 80 percent for planning.
- Dew avoid night work if dew is forecast to form on uncured sealer.
- Striping wind under ~25 km/h [~15 mph] to control overspray.
- Open times light traffic after cure, typically 24 hours at 20 °C, extend at lower temps. Put these notes in client messages.
Automate batch moves if thresholds fail, move Phase 1 to the next clear day and notify affected contacts with updated ETAs.
Route and capacity logic that protects margin
- Zones keep daily drive under 60 km per crew.
- Phase lots, close sections while others stay open.
- Morning coat, afternoon coat scheduling for two-coat jobs when temps and cure allow.
- If a crew does not accept in 2 minutes, auto-route to the next qualified in zone.
- Maintain a hotlist of small stripe-only jobs to backfill clear afternoons.
High impact automations
- Missed call text-back in 15 seconds with map link to outline the lot.
- Photo prompts lots, cracks, oil spots, lines, entrances.
- Estimate builder one vs two coats, crack metres, stall counts, ADA count, icons.
- Weather guardrails reschedule batch with first-pick links.
- Pre-job SMS traffic plan and closure map.
- Progress notes Phase 1 done, coat 1 complete, cure start timestamp, coat 2 start, stripe start.
- After-visit report photos, material lot numbers, cure and open times.
- Review request 2 hours after report, property manager referral link.
- Reseal reminders 24 to 36 months, auto-sequence by site.
Scripts that convert
- First reply, “Drop a pin on the lot and send 3 photos, wide lot, worst cracks, and existing lines. I will give you a range now.”
- Anchor, “Two coats typically land 1.50–2.40 USD per m² [0.14–0.22 per ft²] plus crack seal at 1.60–3.20 USD per linear m. Re-stripe is 4.50–7.50 USD per stall. Want weekday overnight or weekend day window”
- Weather clarity, “We schedule only with pavement ≥ 10–12 °C and no rain in the cure window. If the forecast shifts, you get an automatic rebook link.”
- Layout nudge, “Confirm stall counts, ADA stalls, and arrows now. New layout without counts causes on-site delays.”
- Close, “I will send the deposit link and closure map. Phase 1 can start Tuesday.”

Real example, compact
A two-crew striping and seal team in Vaughan added map-measure intake and cure guardrails. In 45 days: 61 lots quoted in under 6 hours median, deposit conversion 63 percent, weather moves batched twice with zero churn, daily km per crew 71 to 42, on-time open 98 percent, reseal plan opt-in 46 percent.
Owner insights
- Map measurement plus three photos is enough to price 80 percent of jobs the same day.
- Weather and cure rules protect reputation, stop re-work.
- Batch routes and phases, not single lots sprayed across town.
- Put reseal as a plan, not a hope.

FAQs
What temperatures are safe for sealcoat
Plan at pavement and air ≥ 10–12 °C with rising temps and low wind. High humidity slows cure, extend open times accordingly.
How do I size a lot quickly
Use the map outline to get m²/ft², then verify with a perimeter walk. Ask for three photos to catch oil spots and crack density.
How many coats
Oxidized or porous lots need two coats. Newer or lightly worn lots can take one coat with clear expectations.
What if rain enters the forecast
Auto-move the job to the next clear window and notify with a new ETA. Do not apply if rain is likely during the cure window.
How do I quote striping
Count stalls and icons in intake. Re-stripe per stall is cheaper than new layout. New layout needs counts, widths, ADA stalls, arrows, and any curb text.
Do I need deposits
Yes for multi-phase or weekend work, 15 to 30 percent. Use staged invoices per phase.
Commercial next steps
- Deploy the sealcoat and striping snapshot with map measurement, cure guardrails, phase scheduling, and reseal reminders.
- Train CSRs on layout questions and ADA count collection.
- Launch a 24 to 36 month reseal sequence for every finished lot.
