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: Why do oil-based driveway sealers last longer?

• <div><p>If the goal is to reduce your lifetime <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">asphalt driveway repair cost</a>, driveway sealers with oil bases tend to last longer because their composition allows them to penetrate deeper into your driveway's asphalt. This provides deeper, longer-lasting protection compared to water-based products that tend to simply sit on the surface of the asphalt. Knowing that you won't have to redo your driveway as often could leave more room in your budget to cover something like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-heated-driveways-worth-cost.htm?">the cost of a heated driveway</a>.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include sealing?

• <div><p>Yes, sealing is included to prevent staining and moisture absorption, depending on the stone type.</p></div>

Q: How long before you can use your driveway after sealing it?

• <div><p>Depending on the product used, you should avoid using your driveway for 48 to 72 hours after sealing it. In general, water-based driveway sealers cure much faster compared to oil-based and solvent-based sealers. Some driveways are even ready in just four to five hours.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals customize asphalt surfaces?

• <div><p>Yes, with colored finishes and decorative stamping for a personalized touch.</p></div>

Tommy Falco's business, Susquehanna Sealcoating, came highly recommended by a friend. We called for an estimate, and he showed up the same day to take a look at our driveway. He gave us a price below what we expected, and made an appointment to show up the next week. He and his crew were there...

Did a terrific job as always. Edged everything nicely. They initially couldn't reach me on our old landline (eliminated it) so they stopped by the house early one morning to verify that we still wanted the service. Then they did the job right then and there - Nice job Walls!

I was not satisfied with how they did it and complained, but they did come out and make it right. The first seal had cracks in the driveway and they didn't do a top seal coating. They just sprayed some of the sealant into the cracks and didn't do the sealing correctly a couple of times. They...

"I was very satisfied with their professionalism and how quickly they completed the project. I had my old, paved driveway removed, dug out, widened and re-paved. The old driveway was sinking in spots and rocks were starting to come through. They came out within a few days of me contacting them and they did the work in 2 days. The driveway looks great 4 months after it was done. So many people around me have been stopping by to say they admire the work and ask who did it. I would highly recommend Full-Service Paving to anyone who asks."
