Driveway Sealcoating

We’re one of the only contractors in the area completing every phase of your project without subcontractors.
Benefits of Residential Driveway Sealcoating
- UV Protection – Sacramento’s intense summer sun dries out asphalt binders and causes premature oxidation; sealcoating creates a UV-blocking barrier that preserves the surface
- Water Resistance – Sealed driveways resist water infiltration from winter rains and irrigation that can penetrate cracks and erode the base beneath
- Restored Appearance – Fresh sealcoating transforms a faded, gray driveway back to a deep, uniform black — significantly improving your home’s curb appeal
- Extended Driveway Life – Homeowners who sealcoat on a regular schedule consistently get 10–15 more years from their asphalt driveway versus those who don’t
- Chemical Protection – Sealcoating protects against oil drips, gasoline spills, and automotive fluids that break down asphalt binders over time
- Cost-Effective Protection – A sealcoating treatment every 3–4 years costs a fraction of driveway replacement, delivering exceptional return on a small maintenance investment
Our Driveway Sealcoating Process
Sealcoating is only as good as the preparation that precedes it. A sealer applied to a cracked, oily, or dirty surface will peel and fail within a season. Our process ensures the sealer bonds properly and delivers the protection your driveway needs.
- Driveway Inspection – We evaluate cracks, oil spots, drainage, and surface condition to identify preparation needs before sealer is applied
- Crack Filling – Open cracks are filled with hot-pour rubberized crack filler before sealing; applying sealer over unfilled cracks provides only cosmetic coverage
- Oil Spot Treatment – Petroleum contamination is primed to promote sealer adhesion in affected areas
- Surface Cleaning – The driveway is swept and blown clean of dirt, leaves, and debris that would prevent proper bonding
- Sealer Application – Commercial-grade sealer is applied in uniform coats using squeegee or brush application for consistent, complete coverage
- Curing Period – We advise a 24-hour vehicle-free curing period to ensure the sealer achieves its full protective performance
