Sun, rain, de-icers, and traffic slowly break down asphalt. Sealcoating adds a protective wearing layer that restores color, improves appearance, and helps resist water and chemical intrusion. D. Lee’s Paving preps the surface, seals cracks first, and applies asphalt-emulsion, polymer-modified sealer with sand for durability and traction.

Note: New asphalt should cure 6–12 months before its first sealcoat.

When Sealcoating Makes Sense

• Driveways that have faded/oxidized but are still structurally sound

• Commercial lots on a maintenance cycle to extend lifespan

• After repairs or an overlay to create a uniform finish

• HOA roads & community areas for consistent appearance

What We Do (Our Process)

1. Inspection & Plan – We evaluate oxidation, cracks, oil spots, and traffic patterns.

2. Cleaning – Mechanical blowers, brooms, and power washing as needed.

3. Crack Sealing – Hot-pour rubberized filler in qualifying cracks.

4. Oil Spot Prime – Treatment so sealer bonds over contaminated areas.

5. Edges & Masking – Protect concrete, curbs, garage lips, and landscaping.

6. Sealer Application – Two thin coats of polymer-modified asphalt emulsion with silica sand for traction.

7. Dry & Cure – Cones/tape; typical foot traffic same day, vehicle traffic in 24–48 hours (weather dependent).

8. Striping (if needed) – Re-stripe stalls, ADA symbols, arrows, stop bars.

Materials & Specs

• Sealer: Asphalt-emulsion, polymer-modified (coal-tar free).

• Additive: Silica sand for wear and skid resistance.

• Coverage: Two thin coats > one thick coat (better cure and bond).

• Cracks: We seal working cracks; alligator areas usually need patching.

• Weather: Ideal above 50°F and rising, dry and low wind.

How Often Should I Sealcoat?

• Residential driveways: Every 2–3 years depending on sun and traffic.

• Commercial lots: Every 2–3 years (some high-traffic lanes sooner).

• Don’t overdo it—too many layers can lead to flaking and tracking.

Repairs We May Recommend First

• Cut-and-patch potholes or failed spots

• Skin patch or infrared where appropriate

• Drainage adjustments if standing water is present

• Crack routing & sealing for wider cracks before sealing

Important Notes

• Sealcoating is a protective, cosmetic layer—it won’t fix base failures.

• Expect light scuffing in the first weeks, especially in tight turns or heat.

• Use rubber-tipped plows or lift blades slightly in winter.

Sealcoating FAQs

Q1: How soon can I drive on it?
Usually 24–48 hours (weather dependent). We cone/tape and give exact reopen times.

Q2: Will sealcoating fix my cracks and potholes?
Sealcoat alone won’t. We seal cracks and patch failures first, then seal for protection and appearance.

Q3: Do you use coal-tar?
No. We use asphalt-emulsion, polymer-modified sealer (coal-tar free) with silica sand.

Q4: How long will it last?
Most homeowners re-seal every 2–3 years; commercial sites vary by traffic and sun exposure.

Q5: Why do you recommend two thin coats?
They cure better, bond stronger, and reduce tracking vs. one heavy coat.

Q6: Can you re-stripe my lot the same visit?
Yes—once the sealer cures to spec, we re-stripe stalls and ADA markings.

Q7: It’s black—will it be slippery?
Our mix includes sand to improve traction. Fresh surfaces can be slick when wet—use caution the first week.

Q8: Do discounts apply to sealcoating?
No. Per our promotions, sealcoating is excluded from discount programs.
