What Proper Sealcoating Actually Does

Your driveway takes a beating every day. Sun breaks down the asphalt binder. Water seeps into tiny cracks and freezes, making them bigger. Oil from cars stains and weakens the surface.

Quality seal coating creates a protective barrier that blocks all of this damage. You get a surface that sheds water instead of absorbing it. UV rays can’t penetrate to break down your asphalt. Small surface cracks get filled and sealed before they become expensive problems.

The result? Your driveway stays smooth, dark, and professional-looking. You avoid those ugly spiderweb cracks and that faded, worn-out appearance that screams “neglected property.” Most importantly, you’re looking at years more life from your asphalt instead of facing a costly replacement.

Oak Island Sealcoating Company

We Know Oak Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been protecting Oak Island driveways and parking lots for years. We understand how the coastal climate affects asphalt here – the salt air, the temperature swings, the way water moves across different properties.

Our crew knows the difference between a quick spray job and professional sealcoating that actually protects your investment. We use commercial-grade sealer and proper application techniques because we’ve seen what happens when corners get cut.

You’re not getting a fly-by-night operation or someone learning on your driveway. You’re getting experienced professionals who show up when scheduled, do the work right, and clean up completely when finished.

Driveway Sealing Process

How We Seal Your Asphalt

First, we clean your driveway thoroughly. Oil stains get treated, debris gets removed, and any vegetation growing in cracks gets cleared out. This step matters because sealer won’t bond properly to a dirty surface.

Next, we fill any cracks wider than a quarter-inch with hot rubberized crack filler. This prevents water from getting underneath your new seal coat and causing problems later.

Then we apply the sealer using professional spray equipment for even coverage. We work systematically to ensure every square foot gets proper protection. The sealer needs to cure for 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions.

You’ll see the difference immediately – that rich, dark appearance that makes your property look well-maintained. More importantly, you’ve just added years of life to your asphalt and saved yourself from expensive repairs down the road.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Oak Island?

Most Oak Island driveways need sealcoating every 2-3 years, but it depends on traffic and exposure. If your driveway gets heavy use or faces south where it takes more sun, you might need it every 2 years. Lighter use driveways can often go 3 years between applications. The key indicator is color – when your asphalt starts looking gray instead of black, it’s time. Don’t wait until you see significant cracking because then you’re into repair mode instead of prevention mode.

What's the difference between cheap sealers and professional grade products?

Cheap sealers are mostly water with minimal protective solids. They might make your driveway look dark temporarily, but they don’t provide real protection and often fail within a year. Professional-grade sealers contain higher concentrations of asphalt emulsion, polymers, and additives that actually bond to your pavement and flex with temperature changes. The difference shows up in longevity – quality sealer protects for 2-3 years while cheap products start failing after one winter. You end up spending more money more often with inferior products.

How long before I can drive on my newly sealed driveway?

You typically need to wait 24-48 hours before driving on fresh sealcoat, depending on temperature and humidity. Hot, dry conditions cure faster while cool, humid weather takes longer. We’ll give you a specific timeframe based on current conditions when we finish your job. Walking on the surface is usually fine after 4-6 hours, but vehicle traffic needs the full cure time. Rushing this step can leave tire marks and damage the protective coating you just paid for.

Can you seal coat over existing cracks in my driveway?

Small surface cracks get filled and sealed as part of the process, but larger cracks need proper repair first. Cracks wider than a quarter-inch get filled with hot rubberized crack filler before we apply the sealer. This prevents water from getting underneath and causing the crack to expand. However, if your driveway has major structural cracks or significant settling, those issues need to be addressed before sealcoating will be effective. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the right approach.

What happens if it rains shortly after my driveway is sealed?

Rain on fresh sealcoat can wash away the coating or leave permanent marks and streaks. That’s why we monitor weather forecasts carefully and only start jobs when we have adequate cure time. If unexpected rain hits before the sealer cures, we’ll need to clean the affected areas and reapply sealer at no charge to you. This is why choosing an experienced contractor matters – we know how to read conditions and time the work properly to avoid weather-related problems.

Is sealcoating worth it compared to just replacing my driveway later?

Absolutely. Regular sealcoating can double or triple your asphalt’s lifespan at a fraction of replacement cost. A typical driveway replacement runs $3,000-$8,000 while sealcoating costs a few hundred dollars every few years. The math is simple – spending $300-500 on maintenance every 2-3 years beats spending thousands on premature replacement. Plus, you maintain your property’s appearance and value throughout the process instead of living with deteriorating asphalt until it becomes unbearable.
