Sealcoating is one of the most effective ways to protect your asphalt surface from aging, cracking, and environmental damage. Whether you’re maintaining a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot, applying sealcoat at the right time ensures maximum durability and long-term savings.
Why Sealcoating Matters
Asphalt naturally breaks down over time due to UV exposure, automotive fluids, and weather cycles. Sealcoating adds a protective layer that blocks moisture, reduces oxidation, and prevents cracks from forming. This helps maintain a smooth, safe, and attractive surface for vehicles and pedestrians.
When Should You Apply Sealcoat?
Most experts recommend sealcoating asphalt every 2–3 years. For newly paved surfaces, wait at least 6–12 months before applying the first coat, allowing the asphalt to fully cure. Ideal sealcoating conditions are warm, dry weather—typically late spring through early fall.
Signs Your Pavement Needs Sealcoating
You may notice faded color, small cracks, or surface roughness. These early warning signs indicate your asphalt is losing its protective oils and needs to be sealed soon to avoid more expensive repairs later.
Protect Your Investment
Sealcoating is a simple, cost-effective step that dramatically extends pavement life and improves curb appeal. Waiting too long can lead to potholes or full resurfacing—both far more expensive than routine maintenance. Request a FREE estimate today!
