Typical drying time is 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions. Vehicle traffic should be avoided for at least 24 hours after application. During hot, sunny weather, the sealant may dry faster, while cooler temperatures and higher humidity will extend drying time. We recommend planning for 48 hours without use to ensure optimal curing and longevity of the sealcoat.

Ideal conditions include temperatures between 50-90°F with no rain forecast for at least 24 hours after application. We closely monitor weather patterns before scheduling your service to ensure proper curing. Sealcoating cannot be applied during rain, fog, or when temperatures will drop below 50°F during the curing process, as these conditions will compromise the integrity of the seal.

Sealcoating itself does not repair structural damage like cracks and potholes. However, our comprehensive service includes crack filling and minor repairs before sealcoat application. For more significant damage, we recommend completing asphalt repairs first, then applying sealcoating to protect your investment. Our team can assess your pavement and recommend the appropriate repair solutions.

Commercial-grade sealants used by professionals contain higher concentrations of binding agents and specialized additives that significantly outlast retail products. Professional application ensures proper surface preparation, consistent coverage, and appropriate thickness. Additionally, our equipment applies the material under pressure for better penetration and adhesion, resulting in a finish that lasts 2-3 times longer than typical DIY applications.

While sealcoating can mask minor surface stains, severe oil or chemical stains must be treated before application. Our pre-application process includes oil spot treatment and cleaning to maximize adhesion and appearance. For existing severe stains, we use specialized cleaning solutions and techniques to reduce their visibility before sealcoating. However, some deep-set stains may still show through as shadowing after treatment.
