Martys Sealcoating FAQs

How often should I have my asphalt driveway sealcoated?

Most asphalt driveways should be sealcoated every 1-2 years, depending on their condition, traffic, and exposure to weather. Regular sealcoating helps protect asphalt from moisture, UV rays, oxidation, and freeze-thaw damage. The asphalt that last the longest and looks the best gets done once a year.

What are the benefits of professional asphalt sealcoating?

Professional asphalt sealcoating helps protect your driveway or parking lot from weather damage, moisture penetration, oxidation, and surface deterioration. It also restores a darker, more uniform appearance and can help extend the life of your asphalt.

What is the difference between brush-on sealcoating and spray-applied sealcoating?

Brush-on sealcoating uses specialized brushes to work the sealer across the asphalt, creating a thicker, more uniform application. Marty’s Seal Coating uses a horse-hair brush application method rather than spray guns or squeegees to achieve a consistent finish.

Does Marty’s Seal Coating fill cracks before applying sealcoat?

Yes. Proper surface preparation is an important part of the sealcoating process. Marty’s Seal Coating removes debris, treats oil stains, and fills cracks with hot rubberized crack filler before applying the sealcoat to help protect the asphalt surface.

How long does asphalt sealcoating take to dry before I can use my driveway?

Drying time depends on weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, sunlight, and airflow. Your contractor can provide guidance on when it is safe to walk or drive on the newly sealed surface. Follow Marty’s Seal Coating’s specific instructions before using your driveway.
