FAQ's
  • What asphalt services do you offer?

    We handle the full range of asphalt and pavement work: seal coating, crack filling, pothole repair, line striping, curb painting, epoxy flooring, and new paving. Whether you need a quick patch or a complete parking lot install, we have the equipment and experience to do it right.

  • Do you serve areas around Lakeland?

    Yes. We are based in Lakeland and serve property owners throughout Polk County and the surrounding Central Florida area. If you are not sure whether you fall within our service range, give us a call and we will let you know.

  • How often should asphalt be seal coated?

    For most surfaces in Florida's climate, we recommend seal coating every two to three years. Heavy traffic, intense sun, and standing water can shorten that window. We will inspect your pavement and give you an honest recommendation based on its actual condition.

  • How long does seal coating take to dry?

    Seal coating usually needs 24 to 48 hours to fully cure before vehicles can drive on it, though it may set faster in dry, sunny weather. We will give you a clear timeline before we start so you can plan around it.

  • What is the difference between crack filling and pothole repair?

    Crack filling seals narrow gaps before water gets underneath and spreads the damage. Pothole repair fixes larger holes where the asphalt has already broken away. Cracks are a preventive fix, while potholes are a structural one. We often handle both in the same visit.

  • How soon can I drive on newly paved asphalt?

    Fresh asphalt is usually ready for traffic within 24 to 72 hours, depending on temperature and thickness. It stays soft at first and fully hardens over the following weeks. We will walk you through how to care for it during that curing period.

  • Do you work on both residential and commercial properties?

    We do both. Our team paves and maintains everything from single driveways to large commercial parking lots, retail centers, and private roads. No job is too small or too large for us to take on.

  • Can you make my parking lot ADA-compliant?

    Yes. We stripe accessible parking stalls, access aisles, and handicap symbols to meet ADA requirements, along with fire lanes and directional markings. Staying compliant protects you from fines and keeps your lot safe for every visitor.

  • How much does asphalt work cost?

    Pricing depends on the size of the area, its current condition, and the service you need. A small driveway seal coat costs far less than a full parking lot repave. We provide detailed, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

  • When is the best time of year for asphalt work in Florida?

    Asphalt cures best in warm, dry conditions, which Lakeland offers for most of the year. We schedule around heavy rain and afternoon storms to make sure coatings set properly. Our drier months give the most reliable results, but we work year-round.

  • Do you offer free estimates?

    Yes. We provide free, no-pressure estimates for every project. Just tell us what you are dealing with, and we will assess your pavement and give you a clear, written quote with no hidden costs.

  • How long has Road Runner Solutions been in business?

    We have been serving Lakeland and Central Florida for 5 years. In that time, we have built a reputation for reliable work, fair pricing, and surfaces that hold up long after the job is finished.

  • Will seal coating repair existing cracks?

    Seal coating protects and beautifies the surface, but it will not fix structural cracks on its own. We fill any significant cracks first, then apply the seal coat over a properly prepared surface. Doing it in that order gives you a finish that lasts.

  • What is epoxy flooring used for?

    Epoxy creates a tough, seamless coating for concrete floors in garages, warehouses, showrooms, and commercial spaces. It resists stains, chemicals, and heavy traffic, wipes clean easily, and keeps its finish for years. It is a smart upgrade for any floor that takes a beating.

  • How do I know if I need a repave or just a repair?

    If your surface has scattered cracks or a few potholes, targeted repairs will usually do the job. If it is widely cracked, sinking, or crumbling across large areas, repaving is the better long-term value. We will inspect it and give you a straight answer, not an upsell.

  • Do you paint curbs and fire lanes?

    Yes. We paint curbs, fire lanes, and color-coded markings in durable traffic paint that holds up to weather and wear. Sharp, well-marked curbs keep your property organized, code-compliant, and looking professional.

  • How long does a typical seal coating job take?

    Most residential driveways take a single day, while larger commercial lots may take two or more, depending on size and prep. The surface then needs a day or two to cure. We will give you an accurate timeline up front so you can plan accordingly.

  • Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, so your property and our crew are covered on every job. You can hire us with confidence knowing the work meets professional standards from start to finish.
