Why do I need to seal my driveway?

• <div><p>Sealing your driveway gives it the longest possible lifespan. You’ll reduce your driveway’s risk of cracking, breaking down from exposure to UV light, discoloring, and staining from road chemicals.</p></div>

How Long Does It Take Asphalt to Cure?

• <div><p>Unlike drying, which takes between 48 and 72 hours on average, asphalt driveway cure times are different and take much longer. Your asphalt driveway won’t actually cure for around six months to one year. During this time, it’s more likely to get damaged or weakened by heavy machinery, vehicles, and high temperatures. </p></div>

Q: How much does driveway sealcoating cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-seal-asphalt-driveway.htm">Driveway sealcoating costs</a> around <b>$500</b> on average, or between <b>$1.25 and $1.50 per square foot</b> for materials and labor. Most homeowners pay between <b>$250 and $800</b> for this service. Your project price will depend mostly on the size of your driveway, the type of sealant, how much pressure washing or treatment is required before sealing, and the number of coats of sealant applied to your driveway. Most sealants come in 5-gallon or 55-gallon units, with up to 500 square feet of coverage per 4 gallons.</p></div>

Q: How long do asphalt driveways last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-an-asphalt-driveway-last.htm">Asphalt driveways last</a> anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but if you don&rsquo;t stay on top of repairs, you may find yourself spending extra to replace your driveway before its typical lifespan. Stay on top of repairing cracks and potholes by routinely inspecting your driveway once or twice a year. It&rsquo;s a good idea to pressure wash your asphalt driveway at least once a year to keep it clean. Apply a sealer every one to five years, based on your climate.</p></div>

Q: When's the best time to winterize a driveway?

• <div><p>Since freeze-thaw cycles throughout the winter months can damage your driveway, it's best to winterize your driveway in the late fall before the first freeze hits. Doing so will help to protect your driveway from damage throughout the winter season. Plus, drier, warmer weather makes applying and curing sealant much easier.</p></div>

I have no idea how they stay in business, in my experience Energy Home Insulation Inc. is completely incompetent. First, they did not insulate over the garage even though I have a heated garage, the garage was insulated previous to the fire and the insurance company was paying to have the...
