Driveway Sealing FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear most often. No fluff.
Most asphalt driveways benefit from sealing every 2–3 years, depending on traffic, sun exposure, and how harsh the winter was. If you notice fading, small cracks starting to form, or water pooling in spots, it's a good sign it's time to reseal.
The ideal window is late spring through early fall, roughly May to September, when daytime temperatures are consistently above 10°C and there's no rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours after application. We don't seal in cold or wet conditions because the sealer won't cure properly.
You'll want to stay off the driveway for at least 24 hours after sealing. Full cure takes 48–72 hours depending on temperature and humidity. We'll let you know exactly what to expect when we do your job.
Sealcoating is a protective coating. It's not a crack filler on its own. Larger cracks should be filled before sealing for best results. We assess the condition of the driveway before we start and will let you know if crack filling is needed.
New asphalt typically needs to cure for at least 90 days, and sometimes a full season, before it should be sealed. Sealing too early can trap oils in the asphalt and cause softening. If you've just had a new driveway installed, reach out and we can advise on timing.
