What Proper Sealing Actually Does

You get real protection against the elements that destroy asphalt. Water stops penetrating through small cracks before they become major problems. Oil stains from cars wash off easily instead of soaking in permanently.

Your driveway looks fresh and black again, like it did when it was first installed. More importantly, you’re looking at 3-5 additional years of life from your asphalt when it’s sealed properly.

The surface becomes smoother and easier to maintain. Snow removal gets simpler in winter, and regular cleaning takes half the effort. You’re not dealing with loose gravel, potholes, or that gray, weathered look that screams “this needs expensive work.”

Asphalt Sealing Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, the existing surface gets thoroughly cleaned and prepped. Any cracks or damaged areas are addressed before sealing begins. This step determines how well the seal coating will adhere and perform over time.

The professional-grade sealer gets applied evenly across the entire surface using commercial equipment. Weather conditions and temperature matter here – timing the application correctly ensures proper curing and maximum protection.

You’ll need to stay off the surface for 24-48 hours depending on conditions. After that, you have a protected driveway that’s ready for normal use and built to handle whatever weather comes next.

What's Included in Professional Sealing

Every seal coating project includes complete surface preparation, crack filling where needed, and professional-grade sealer application. You get the materials and equipment that commercial properties use, not the stuff available at home improvement stores.

We handle cleanup and ensure your landscaping and surrounding areas stay protected during the process. Edge work around garage doors, walkways, and landscaping gets the same attention as the main surface.

Baycrest properties face specific challenges with winter weather and temperature swings. Our sealing approach accounts for these local conditions, using materials that expand and contract properly with seasonal changes while maintaining their protective qualities.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Baycrest?

Most driveways in Baycrest need seal coating every 2-3 years, depending on traffic and weather exposure. If your driveway gets heavy use or faces south with lots of sun exposure, you might need sealing closer to every 2 years. Driveways with lighter traffic and good drainage can often go 3 years between applications. The key indicator is when water stops beading on the surface and starts soaking in – that means the previous seal coat is wearing thin and it’s time for a fresh application.

What's the best time of year for seal coating?

Late spring through early fall works best for seal coating in our area, typically May through September. You need temperatures above 50 degrees for at least 24 hours after application, with no rain in the forecast. Summer months are ideal because the sealer cures faster and more completely in warm, dry conditions. Avoid sealing too late in the season – you want the coating fully cured and hardened before winter weather hits. Early fall can work if you have a stretch of good weather, but spring and summer applications tend to perform better long-term.

Can you seal coat over cracks in my driveway?

Small cracks get filled as part of the sealing process, but larger cracks need proper repair first. Hairline cracks and minor surface issues are normal and get addressed with crack filler before the seal coat goes on. However, if you have significant cracking, alligator patterns, or structural issues, those need repair work before sealing makes sense. Seal coating over major damage just hides the problem temporarily – water will still get through and cause more damage underneath. A proper assessment determines what prep work is needed for lasting results.

How long does seal coating take to dry completely?

You can typically walk on the surface after 4-6 hours, but vehicles need to stay off for 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions. Hot, dry weather speeds up curing, while cool or humid conditions take longer. The surface might feel dry to the touch but still be soft underneath, which is why the full cure time matters. Driving on seal coating that hasn’t fully cured can leave tire marks or damage the protective layer. Plan for at least 24 hours before normal vehicle use, and 48 hours if weather conditions aren’t ideal.

Will seal coating fill in small potholes or low spots?

Seal coating is a protective layer, not a leveling compound. It won’t fill potholes or fix significant low spots in your driveway. Small surface imperfections might be less noticeable after sealing, but any holes or depressions need to be patched with asphalt before seal coating. Trying to use sealer as a filler creates weak spots that will fail quickly. If your driveway has drainage issues or significant uneven areas, those should be addressed with proper patching or repair work first, then sealed for protection.

What happens if it rains before the seal coating is fully cured?

Rain on fresh seal coating can cause serious problems, which is why weather timing is critical. If it rains within the first few hours, the sealer can wash off, streak, or cure improperly, leaving you with an uneven, compromised surface. This is why we check weather forecasts carefully and won’t start a job if rain is expected within 24 hours. If unexpected weather hits during curing, the affected areas typically need to be cleaned and resealed. This is why choosing contractors who understand local weather patterns and plan accordingly makes a difference in your final results.
