What Are Sealcoating Services?

Our high-quality sealcoating process involves carefully applying a protective liquid coating to asphalt surfaces like driveways and parking lots. The substance protects the asphalt from damage from water, oil, grease, UV rays, and anything else that could cause damage. Sealcoating extends the lifespan of asphalt surfaces, reduces the need for maintenance and repairs, and prevents future deterioration.

Why Driveway Sealcoating Is Essential for Residential Driveways 

The purpose of sealcoating your asphalt is to protect it from extreme weather and temperature, UV rays, oil and grease, and other environmental factors that could cause cracks or deterioration. The other benefits of sealcoating are:

• Protection From Weather – Protects asphalt from damage caused by rain, snow, sun, and extreme temperatures.
• Cost-Efficient – The sealcoating process is fast, easy, and cost-efficient and offers years of protection.
• Reduced Imperfections and Improved Appearance – Fills in minor cracks and deterioration, restores the dark color of the asphalt, and prevents future stains and deterioration.
• Extended Lifespan – Prevents further deterioration and damage to your asphalt and extends its lifespan.
• Reduced Maintenance – Preventive maintenance that protects asphalt surfaces and reduces the need for maintenance and repairs.

Signs Your Driveway Needs Asphalt Sealcoating

If your asphalt surfaces are at risk of damage due to extreme weather or temperature, heavy use, or other environmental factors, you should consider sealcoating. If your asphalt already has minor damage, sealcoating can repair and protect it from further damage. Signs you need sealcoating include:

• Small cracks or holes appearing on the surface, which could allow water to seep into the asphalt and cause further damage
• Discoloration, fading color, or a dull, gray appearance
• Visible signs of water damage or oil stains
• Rough, pitted, and uneven surface texture that indicates the top layer of the asphalt is wearing down
• Signs of significant wear and tear or weather damage, such as crumbling or chipping edges along the perimeter

The Sealcoating Process 

We work efficiently, yet with careful attention to detail, to ensure quality, lasting results. The process usually requires two coats, each of which needs 24-48 hours to cure before we can proceed. Here is a look at our process:

• Preparation – We will clean the asphalt and remove dirt, small debris, and organic matter. We will then fill in any cracks or potholes with a sealant. Next, we will trim any grass or vegetation along the edges of the surface and block off the area from access.
• Application Process – We will apply an even layer of the coating then edge finishing to ensure all edges are properly sealed.
• Drying Time – The coating needs 24-48 hours to fully dry and cure before vehicles can use the area.

FAQs About Residential Driveway Sealcoating

How long should we keep vehicles off the surface after sealing?

We recommend keeping vehicles off the surface for at least 24 hours, but preferably 48 hours to make sure the sealant is fully cured and dried. For best results, wait up to 72 hours, depending on weather conditions.

What happens to the driveway sealer if it rains?

Once driveway sealant is properly dried and cured, it will protect the asphalt from rain and water damage. However, sealant shouldn’t be applied while it is raining, and if it rains before the sealant has fully cured, you may need a touch-up.

What is the best time of year to sealcoat my driveway?

The best time of year is spring or fall when the weather is warmer and drier.

How long does the sealcoating process take? And how much would it cost?

The process can take 6-8 hours, but the sealant will need to cure after the final coat is applied. The cost of asphalt sealcoating can range from $200-$1,500 depending on the company you use, the size of the surface, and the asphalt’s age, location, and condition.
