How sealing can help

Asphalt is a durable material, but it can still wear down when exposed to heavy traffic and the elements. Asphalt sealing services will keep your driveway functional by…

  • Protecting it from sunlight, water and gas or oil spills
  • Making it easier to sweep and clean your surface
  • Retaining heat in the winter to help melt snow and ice quicker

Sealcoating also creates a rich black color that can make your exterior more attractive and increase the value of your home.

What Is Asphalt Sealcoating?

Sealcoating adds a protective coating over a properly prepared asphalt surface. It helps limit exposure to water, sunlight, oil, and everyday wear while restoring a darker, more uniform appearance.

Professional asphalt sealcoating can help:

  • Refresh faded or weathered pavement
  • Create a cleaner, more consistent appearance
  • Limit surface exposure to water and UV rays
  • Reduce the effects of oil and vehicle traffic
  • Support a preventative asphalt-maintenance plan
  • Make the surface easier to sweep and maintain
  • Reduce premature surface deterioration

Sealcoating is intended for asphalt maintenance. It will not repair potholes, significant cracks, drainage problems, base failure, or structural damage underneath the pavement.

Those concerns should be evaluated and addressed before sealer is applied.

Signs Your Asphalt Needs Attention

Your asphalt does not need to be severely damaged before you begin thinking about maintenance.

Common signs that the surface should be evaluated include:

  • Asphalt fading from black to gray
  • Small cracks beginning to develop
  • Existing cracks becoming wider
  • Dry, rough, or weathered areas
  • Previous sealcoat wearing away unevenly
  • Oil or vehicle-fluid stains
  • Water regularly collecting in certain areas
  • Crumbling pavement edges
  • Potholes or broken areas
  • Loose surface material

Some asphalt may benefit from preventative sealcoating, while more substantial damage may need crack repair, patching, drainage work, or another repair method.

Every surface is different. Its age, condition, traffic, drainage, previous maintenance, and exposure to the weather all affect which service may be appropriate.

Our Asphalt Sealcoating Process

1. Evaluate the Pavement

We begin by looking at the current condition of the asphalt. We check for fading, cracks, potholes, damaged edges, oil spots, drainage concerns, and other visible signs of deterioration.

Sealcoating is not right for every surface. We explain what we notice and identify whether the pavement is ready to be sealed or needs repairs first.

Careful preparation helps the sealer bond properly and contributes to a cleaner finished appearance.

Loose dirt, leaves, grass, gravel, and other debris must be removed before application. We also take care around garages, buildings, curbs, sidewalks, landscaping, and adjoining surfaces.

Eligible cracks and minor damaged areas may need attention before sealcoating begins.

Potholes, significant cracking, drainage problems, and structural pavement failure may require a different repair approach.

Once the asphalt is prepared and suitable weather conditions are confirmed, the sealcoat is carefully applied across the surface.

After application, we review the finished surface, clean the surrounding work area, and provide instructions for drying, vehicle access, and reopening the pavement.

Asphalt Sealcoating FAQs

1. Evaluate the Pavement

Sealcoating adds a protective coating over prepared asphalt. It helps limit exposure to water, sunlight, oil, and regular surface wear while restoring a darker appearance.

No. Paving involves installing or replacing asphalt. Sealcoating is a maintenance service applied over an existing asphalt surface.

Sealcoating should not be used as a crack repair. Eligible cracks should be evaluated and treated separately before the surface is sealed.

No. Potholes and broken pavement need separate repair before sealcoating.

Many asphalt surfaces are evaluated every two to three years, but the appropriate schedule depends on the pavement’s age, condition, traffic, drainage, exposure, and previous maintenance.

New asphalt requires an appropriate curing period before sealcoating. The timing depends on the pavement and product requirements. We can evaluate the surface before recommending service.

Drying and curing time depends on the product, temperature, humidity, sunlight, and project conditions. We provide specific instructions after completing the work.

Sealcoating requires dry conditions and suitable temperatures during application and curing. We monitor the forecast and schedule work based on the requirements of the products being used.

Pricing depends on the size and condition of the surface, preparation, crack repair, pothole repair, access, and other project details. A property evaluation allows us to provide an accurate estimate.

Faded asphalt with limited surface damage may be a good candidate. Extensive cracking, potholes, drainage concerns, crumbling areas, or structural damage may need separate attention first.
