Your driveway faces constant exposure to sunlight, rain, oil spills, and heavy traffic. Over time, these elements can cause cracks, fading, and potholes. That’s where sealcoating comes in — a simple maintenance service that protects and extends the life of your asphalt.
What Is Sealcoating?
Sealcoating is the process of applying a protective coating to asphalt surfaces. This layer acts as a shield against water, oil, and UV damage, helping your driveway stay smooth, dark, and resilient for years.
Benefits of Sealcoating
- Weather Protection: Prevents moisture from seeping into cracks and freezing during colder months.
- Improved Appearance: Restores the rich black color of new asphalt, boosting curb appeal instantly.
- Extended Lifespan: Proper sealcoating every 2–3 years can double your driveway’s life expectancy.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: It’s far cheaper to maintain asphalt with sealcoating than to repair or replace it later.
When to Sealcoat
Ideally, you should sealcoat your driveway after the first year of installation and then every 24–36 months. Avoid sealcoating during rainy or extremely cold weather for best results.
Final Tip:
If your driveway is starting to fade or crack, schedule professional sealcoating before small issues turn into costly repairs.
