Port Huron and the Blue Water Area have their own rhythm: lakefront businesses that get busy in summer, medical and professional offices, marinas, retail along the I-94 and I-69 corridors, and industrial sites near the border crossing. Smith Linestriping & Seal Coating serves Port Huron and St. Clair County from our Otisville location, a straight shot east on I-69.
We’re a family-owned Michigan company founded in 1985 by Wayne Smith and now led by his son, Zach Smith.
Lakeshore Weather Is Hard on Pavement
Lots near Lake Huron and the St. Clair River face wind, moisture, and plenty of freeze-thaw cycles. Road salt gets tracked onto lots all winter. Water is the main enemy of asphalt, so keeping it out is the priority:
- Hot rubber crack filling seals cracks before winter.
- Sealcoating protects the surface from moisture, sun, and fluids.
- Catch basin repair keeps drainage working so water doesn’t pool.
Timing Around the Season
Some Blue Water Area businesses are busiest in summer, when the weather is also best for pavement work. For seasonal businesses, scheduling in late spring before peak season, or in early fall after it, can keep the lot looking its best without getting in the way of customers. We’ll help you pick a window that fits.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I sealcoat a lot in Port Huron?
Sealcoating needs warm, dry weather, so late spring through early fall is typical. Seasonal businesses often schedule before or after their busiest months.
Does lakeshore weather mean I need to seal more often?
Exposure can affect how quickly pavement wears. We’ll look at your lot’s condition and give an honest recommendation.
Should cracks be filled before winter?
Filling cracks before freeze-thaw season helps keep water out of the pavement.
Do you travel to Port Huron from Otisville?
Yes. Port Huron is within our service area of about 100 miles around Otisville.
