Driveway Sealcoating questions, answered by experts

Regular sealing, crack filling, and professional inspections help extend pavement lifespan and prevent costly repairs.

The best time to seal a driveway is during periods of mild, dry weather, typically from late spring through early fall. For the sealant to bond and cure properly, it needs warm conditions. Avoid sealing in the winter when temperatures are too low.

For optimal results, follow these guidelines:

  • Temperature: Apply sealant when air and surface temperatures are consistently above a minimum of 50-55°F. The ideal range is often between 60°F and 80°F. Avoid applying sealer in extreme heat (above 90-95°F), as it can cause the sealant to dry too quickly and improperly.

  • Weather: Choose a time with no rain in the forecast for at least 24 to 48 hours after application. Rain can wash away the sealant before it has fully cured.

  • Timing and Cost: While spring and fall offer ideal temperatures, they are also the busiest seasons for driveway sealing companies, which may lead to higher costs due to increased demand. The best specific month will depend on your local climate.

Many services include sealing as part of the repair process. Confirm with your provider.

It is not recommended to seal brand-new asphalt immediately. You should wait at least three months after installation to allow the asphalt time to cure properly. Applying a seal coat too soon can trap the asphalt's oils and chemicals, preventing it from fully hardening. This can result in a weaker surface that is more susceptible to damage. After the three-month curing period, sealing the asphalt is beneficial as it can extend its lifespan by protecting it from water, UV rays, and other damaging elements.

One of the easiest ways to avoid poor customer service and poor sealant application is to hire a reputable, licensed company. Contact companies with positive customer reviews and Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings, and ask for customer references from any company you’re considering hiring to seal your driveway.
