Is sealcoating worth the money?

• <div><p>Sealcoating is worth the investment because it protects your driveway from damage, extending its life and the timeframe in which you need to replace it. Sealcoating costs around <b>$500</b> on average, while <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">replacing a driveway costs</a> about <b>$5,000</b>. Sealcoating delays the need for replacement and it also helps keep your driveway looking newer for longer. As an added bonus, sealcoating can boost your property value and curb appeal, making it worth the sealing cost once every five years.</p></div>

Should I seal my driveway or replace it?

• <div><p>If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm">cost to install an asphalt driveway</a> typically ranges between <b>$4,200</b> and <b>$9,000</b>, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.</p></div>

Q: What are the three main types of asphalt?

• <div><p>The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it&rsquo;s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.</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: How long does asphalt sealing take?

• <div><p>Most sealing projects take 1-2 days, including drying time before allowing traffic.</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...
