How it's done

Our Sealcoating Process

Sealcoating fails at the prep stage, not the spray stage. Every driveway gets the full sequence — no shortcuts, no skipped steps.

Power cleaning and prepping asphalt driveway before sealcoating
Step 01

Deep Clean & Prep

High-powered blowers, wire brooms, and edge work remove every trace of dust, dirt, and debris so the sealer bonds to bare asphalt.

Step 02

Hot Rubberized Crackfill

Treatable cracks are cleaned and filled with polymer-modified rubber at 350°F, sealing out the water that destroys driveways from below.

Hand-Applied Sealer

Our SealMaster asphalt emulsion — mixed in-house with sand for traction — is applied by hand for even coverage and a uniform matte black finish.

Cure & Care

You get clear care instructions, cones and caution tape where needed, and a follow-up with everything your fresh surface needs to cure right.

The material matters

Commercial-Grade. Never Watered Down.

We apply SealMaster MasterSeal, a mineral-filled asphalt emulsion — the same material we run on commercial parking lots, mixed in-house to a job-ready design with clean silica sand blended in for traction and a uniform matte texture.

  • Deep matte black finish that looks like fresh pavement, not a glossy coating
  • Water-based and low-VOC — no harsh fumes for your family or pets
  • Stays flexible with seasonal movement instead of turning brittle
  • Not a wand-sprayed oil sealer — those thin, shiny coatings can't hold sand and are prone to tire marking

Our promise
"If your driveway doesn't need us yet, we'll tell you."

New asphalt needs a season to cure before its first coat. Over-sealed driveways need to wear before another. And some driveways are past sealing and need a paver instead. We'll give you the honest answer either way — it's why our reviews look the way they do.

Good questions

Driveway Sealcoating FAQ

How often should I sealcoat my driveway?
Every 2 to 3 years for most driveways. Sealing more often than that can cause over-sealing and surface micro-cracking, which is why we'll tell you to wait if your driveway isn't ready — protecting your pavement matters more to us than selling you a coat it doesn't need.
How long before I can drive on it?
Keep vehicles off for a full 72 hours. Foot traffic is fine after 24 hours. For the first two weeks, pull straight in and out and avoid sharp turns while the sealer film fully hardens — full care instructions come with every job.
Can you sealcoat a brand new driveway?
Not right away. Fresh asphalt needs a minimum of four weeks to cure under ideal conditions, and we typically recommend waiting a full season before the first sealcoat so the surface oils can dissipate and the sealer can bond properly.
What happens if it rains after application?
We won't apply sealer if rain is in the forecast during or within 24 hours after application — that's why weather delays happen. Once the sealer has fully cured, rain has no effect on it.
Do you fill cracks before sealing?
Yes — treatable cracks from 1/4" to 1" wide are cleaned and filled with hot rubberized crackfill before any sealer goes down. Alligatored areas and hairline micro-cracking can't be crackfilled, and we'll walk you through exactly why during your evaluation.
How much does driveway sealcoating cost?
Most residential driveways in our service area fall in the few-hundred-dollar range depending on square footage and the amount of crackfill needed. We quote from aerial measurement, so you'll have an exact number within about 48 hours — no site visit needed.
