-
How often should asphalt be sealcoated?
Most asphalt surfaces should be sealcoated every 2–3 years to protect them from water, sunlight, oil, and everyday wear while keeping the pavement looking clean and well maintained
-
How long does sealcoating take to dry?
Sealcoat usually dries enough for foot traffic in 4–6 hours and vehicles in 24–48 hours, depending on weather conditions like temperature, humidity, and sunlight.
-
Do cracks need to be filled before sealcoating?
Yes. Crack filling is an important step because it prevents water from getting underneath the asphalt and causing further damage. Filling cracks before sealing helps extend the life of the pavement.
-
Do you need to clean the parking lot before sealcoating?
Yes. The asphalt must be thoroughly cleaned and free of dirt, debris, and oil spots before sealcoating. Proper preparation helps the sealer bond to the pavement and ensures a longer-lasting finish.

Why should I sealcoat my asphalt?
