Sealcoating

What Sealcoating Does

Extend the Life of Your Asphalt

Sealcoating is a protective top layer that helps slow oxidation, block UV damage, and prevent water intrusion. Professional sealcoating extends the life of asphalt driveways and parking lots while restoring a rich, dark appearance. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain asphalt and reduce long-term asphalt repair costs.

Driveway Sealcoating

A clean, uniform finish that protects residential asphalt driveways from sun damage, water penetration, and Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles. Regular sealcoating helps extend the life of your driveway and maintain curb appeal.


Parking Lot Sealcoating

Commercial-grade sealcoating that protects asphalt parking lots from oxidation, traffic wear, and weather damage. Ideal for retail centers, office buildings, apartment complexes, and commercial properties.


Crack Filling (Recommended First)

We seal cracks before applying sealer to prevent water from getting under the asphalt surface and causing larger pavement failures.


Line Striping Coordination

For commercial parking lots, we can coordinate restriping after sealcoating so your parking layout remains clean, visible, and compliant with ADA requirements.

Why Property Owners Choose Sealcoating

Protection From Water & UV

Helps slow down oxidation and moisture penetration that lead to cracking, raveling, and surface breakdown. Sealcoating acts as a protective barrier against sun exposure and Michigan weather.

Better Curb Appeal

Restores a rich, dark finish that makes your driveway or parking lot look clean, well-maintained, and professional.

Lower Maintenance Costs

Routine sealcoating helps reduce the need for premature asphalt repairs and resurfacing by protecting the pavement surface.

Sealcoating FAQs

Quick answers for homeowners and commercial property managers planning asphalt maintenance.

How often should asphalt be sealcoated?

Most asphalt driveways and parking lots benefit from sealcoating every 2–3 years, depending on traffic, sun exposure, and overall pavement condition.

Do you seal cracks before sealcoating?

Yes. Crack filling is typically recommended before sealcoating to prevent water from penetrating beneath the asphalt surface.

How long does sealcoat take to dry?

Dry times vary by weather, but many surfaces are ready for foot traffic the same day and vehicle traffic within 24–48 hours.

How do you apply asphalt sealer?

Asphalt sealer can be applied by spray or by hand, but for residential driveways we prefer using a soft-bristle brush to work the sealer into the surface for a more even, durable finish. Either way is available upon request.

What should I do to prepare for sealcoating day?

We’ll ask you to keep vehicles off the surface and ensure access for cleaning and application. We’ll provide a clear schedule for re-entry.

Do you service commercial properties after hours?

When possible, we can phase work to minimize disruption for businesses and tenants—ask about scheduling options.
