Question 1

Do you take small jobs — just a single residential driveway?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. There's no 'too small' minimum. A single driveway sealcoat is a great way for us to earn your trust (and your neighbors'). We use the same crew, same materials, and same fixed-price quote process whether it's a 200-stall shopping center or your home driveway.

Question 2

How much does it cost to seal a residential driveway?

Accepted Answer

We charge $0.25 per square foot for residential driveway sealcoating — coal tar with sand additive, two coats. Every job is subject to a $300 project minimum. For a typical two-car driveway you'll land right around the minimum; bigger driveways scale by the square foot. Visit our pricing page for the full rate sheet, or send us your address and we'll measure it ourselves before quoting.

Question 3

How long until I can park on my driveway again?

Accepted Answer

After sealcoating, plan on staying off the driveway for 24 hours minimum — 48 hours is safer in humid Memphis summers. We'll mark off the driveway, give you a clear return-to-service time, and you'll have a deep-black driveway by the next morning.

Question 4

How much does parking lot striping or sealcoating cost?

Accepted Answer

We publish honest, transparent rates on our pricing page — sealcoating runs $0.20 per square foot, restriping is $0.30 per linear foot, new-layout striping is $0.50 per linear foot, and crack filling is $1.50 per linear foot. Every job has a $300 minimum, and bundled services (e.g., crack-fill + sealcoat + restripe together) earn a meaningful discount. Final pricing is always confirmed with a free on-site walk before we commit to a fixed-price written quote.

Question 5

How long will my parking lot be inaccessible during the work?

Accepted Answer

Most striping projects are completed in a few hours and most sealcoat applications cure overnight. For larger lots we work in sections so part of the lot stays open. We schedule the bulk of the work after-hours so your business is rarely affected.

Question 6

What paint and materials do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use commercial-grade traffic paint, hot-applied rubberized crack filler, and pro-grade asphalt sealer — never the consumer-grade stuff that fades in a season. For high-wear areas we can also apply thermoplastic markings on request.

Question 7

Do you offer ADA-compliant striping and signage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide full ADA layouts including accessible stalls, van-accessible access aisles, International Symbol of Access markings, and properly mounted signage at compliant heights. We're happy to do a free ADA compliance walk-through on your existing lot.

Question 8

How long does the paint and sealer take to dry?

Accepted Answer

Fresh traffic paint typically dries within 15–30 minutes in normal conditions. Sealcoating needs at least 24 hours of cure time (and often 48 in humid Mid-South summers) before reopening to traffic. We'll tell you exactly when each section is safe to drive on.

Question 9

Can you design a layout for a new parking lot?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We design new-lot layouts to maximize stall count, optimize traffic flow, and meet current ADA standards. If you're planning a new build or major resurface, get us involved early — small layout choices can add real stall capacity.

Question 10

Do you re-stripe existing parking lots?

Accepted Answer

Restriping is one of our most common jobs. If your current layout works, we mask and repaint over the existing lines using quick-dry traffic paint — usually completed in a single overnight visit at a fraction of the cost of a new layout.

Question 11

Can you work at night or on weekends?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most of our work happens overnight or on weekends specifically so your business never shuts down. Crews mobilize from Memphis and we can run multiple shifts to compress timelines on large lots.

Question 12

Do you install wheel stops, bollards, and signage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install and paint wheel stops, bollards, directional arrows, curb markings, fire-lane striping, speed bumps, and any ADA or traffic signage your property needs.

Question 13

How long does the striping and sealcoating last?

Accepted Answer

Fresh striping typically holds up 12–24 months depending on traffic volume and weather. Sealcoat protects asphalt for 2–3 years in Memphis-area conditions before it needs a refresh. We recommend annual crack-fill between full sealcoats to extend pavement life by 5–10 years.

Question 14

What makes Midsouth Pavement different?

Accepted Answer

We're a small, local crew based in Memphis — not a franchise or call center. We answer the phone, we show up on time, we use commercial-grade materials, and we give you a fixed-price written quote up front. If a line is crooked, we hear about it at the grocery store — so we don't paint crooked lines.

Question 15

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every quote is free, fixed-price, and obligation-free. Submit the free quote form or call us — we'll come walk the lot and typically send your written quote within 48 hours.

Question 16

How far outside Memphis do you travel?

Accepted Answer

We serve roughly a two-hour radius of Memphis — across West Tennessee, North Mississippi, and Eastern Arkansas. See our 20 named service areas for the full list, or just ask: we travel for the right project.
