Sealcoat FAQ
Sealcoat Q&A
When should I sealcoat my asphalt driveway?
– We recommend having your asphalt driveway sealcoated the year after installation and then every 2-3 years after that.
How soon after my new Asphalt Driveway is installed can I sealcoat it?
– Wait a MINIMUM of 90 days before sealcoating a new Asphalt Driveway.
When is the best time to do a sealcoat on my driveway?
– The asphalt sealant works best on temperatures above 40 degrees fahrenheit. These temperatures typically occur between April-October.
What about patching potholes?
– Asphalt patching is not a service that we provide. If your driveway is in rough shape, with multiple potholes and exposed rock or pebbles it becomes impossible for the sealer to adhere. At this point a driveway replacement is highly recommended.
What about crack filling?
– We use a hot rubberized crack filler. We are able to use crack filler on cracks that are roughly ¼-½ inches wide. Anything larger, the crack filler won’t adhere properly. Anything smaller, the crack filler will just lay on top of the asphalt and can oftentimes get stuck on your tires while driving over.
Can all asphalt driveways be sealcoated?
– No, if there is exposed rock or aggregate we are not able to sealcoat the driveway. If there are broken or crumbling areas, we are not able to sealcoat. If your driveway has either of these, we recommend replacing the driveway.
