Protect Your Investment with Professional Asphalt Sealcoating
Why Sealcoating Is Essential
Sealcoating is one of the most important maintenance tasks for preserving your asphalt driveway. Without proper protection, your asphalt is vulnerable to deterioration from weather, chemicals, and daily wear.
Protection from Elements
Sealcoating creates a protective barrier against UV rays, water penetration, oil spills, and chemical damage that can deteriorate your asphalt surface.
Extended Lifespan
Regular sealcoating can double the life of your asphalt driveway, protecting your investment and delaying costly replacement for years.
Cost-Effective Maintenance
Sealcoating is significantly less expensive than resurfacing or replacing damaged asphalt. It's a smart preventive measure that saves money long-term.
Water Resistance
The sealant prevents water from seeping into cracks and the base material, which is crucial for preventing freeze-thaw damage during winter months.
How Often Should You Sealcoat?
The frequency of sealcoating depends on several factors, but following a regular schedule is crucial for maximum protection.
Recommended Schedule
Every 2-3 Years
For optimal protection and longevity of your asphalt surface
Factors That Increase Frequency
- •Heavy traffic or frequent vehicle use
- •Exposure to harsh weather conditions
- •Direct sunlight for extended periods
- •Oil or chemical spills
- •Poor drainage or standing water
Signs You Need Sealcoating
- •Faded gray color instead of rich black
- •Small cracks beginning to appear
- •Rough or deteriorating surface texture
- •Water no longer beads on the surface
- •It's been more than 3 years since last application
Important Timing Considerations
- •New Asphalt: Wait 6-12 months before first sealcoating to allow oils to evaporate
- •Best Season: Late spring through early fall when temperatures are consistently above 50°F
- •Weather: Apply during dry conditions with no rain forecast for 24-48 hours

Long-Term Benefits of Regular Sealcoating
Consistent sealcoating maintenance provides lasting value for your property
Enhanced Curb Appeal
A freshly sealcoated driveway looks brand new with a rich, dark finish that significantly improves your home's appearance and property value.
Prevents Costly Repairs
By sealing small cracks and preventing water infiltration, you avoid expensive repairs like pothole filling, extensive cracking, or complete resurfacing.
Easier Maintenance
Sealed surfaces are smoother and easier to clean. Snow removal is simpler, and stains from oil or other substances are less likely to penetrate.
Flexibility in Extreme Weather
Sealcoating helps asphalt remain flexible during temperature changes, reducing the risk of cracking from freeze-thaw cycles common in Pennsylvania winters.
