Pitch Black® Returns to Rapid City: Expanding Across the Dakotas & Eastern Montana

For years, contractors and property managers across the Dakotas and Eastern Montana have been asking the same question: when can we get Pitch Black® out here? Today, we're proud to announce the answer — right now.

Pitch Black® Is Back in Rapid City

Rapid City has always been a strategic hub for surface preservation in the Northern Plains. Situated at the gateway to the Black Hills, it serves as the distribution crossroads for communities stretching from Sturgis and Spearfish to Pine Ridge and the Badlands. With Pitch Black® returning to Rapid City, we're re-establishing a regional anchor that puts premium sealcoat within reach of contractors across Western South Dakota and beyond.

This isn't just about one city. Rapid City becomes the eastern staging point for a distribution network that now spans five states and over 500 communities.

Full Coverage: North Dakota & South Dakota

With this expansion, Summit Surface Partners now provides Pitch Black® wholesale distribution to every county in North Dakota (53 counties) and every county in South Dakota (66 counties). That's complete, statewide coverage — no gaps, no exceptions.

Expanding East Across Montana

While Summit Surface Partners has been the trusted name in Western Montana for years, this expansion pushes our wholesale footprint deeper into the eastern half of the state. Communities like Billings, Miles City, Glendive, and Glasgow — areas where harsh winters and long supply chains have historically limited access to premium products — can now order Pitch Black® with delivery timelines of 3-7 business days.

Montana's eastern plains face some of the most extreme temperature swings in the lower 48 — from 100°F summers to -40°F winters. That 140-degree range punishes unprotected asphalt relentlessly. Pitch Black® is formulated specifically for these conditions, with superior flexibility and UV resistance that generic sealers simply can't match.

Why Pitch Black® — Not Just Any Sealcoat

Not all sealcoat is created equal. Here's what sets Pitch Black® apart:

Premium Formulation: Pitch Black® delivers a deep, rich black finish that looks professional from day one and maintains its appearance season after season. It's not just cosmetic — the formulation creates a denser, more resilient barrier against water infiltration, UV degradation, and chemical spills.

Engineered for Northern Climates: Generic sealcoats crack and peel after one Northern Plains winter. Pitch Black® is specifically engineered for the freeze-thaw cycles, extreme temperature swings, and heavy snowplow traffic that define our region.

Environmentally Responsible: Pitch Black® is non-flammable and free of known carcinogens — a critical distinction for municipalities, schools, and healthcare facilities that require strict environmental compliance.

Proven Track Record: Trusted by contractors across Montana, Idaho, and Eastern Washington for years, Pitch Black® has protected millions of square feet of pavement in conditions just as harsh as anything the Dakotas can throw at it.
