Asphalt Sealcoating Services

Asphalt sealcoating adds a protective coating over the surface of existing asphalt. It helps refresh the look of faded pavement, creates a cleaner blacktop finish, and supports regular maintenance for driveways, parking lots, private roads, and other paved surfaces.

No. Sealcoating is a maintenance service, while paving and resurfacing involve adding new asphalt. Sealcoating can help protect asphalt that is still in usable condition, but it will not rebuild pavement that is badly cracked, sinking, breaking apart, or failing underneath.

Your driveway may be a good fit for sealcoating if the surface looks faded, dry, or worn but is still mostly solid. If there are major cracks, potholes, drainage problems, or broken sections, Michael’s Paving may recommend repair, resurfacing, or replacement before sealcoating.

Yes. Michael’s Paving provides parking lot sealcoating for businesses, property managers, apartment communities, churches, schools, HOAs, retail properties, and other commercial spaces. Parking lot sealcoating can also be paired with crack filling, patching, and line striping when needed.

Small cracks can often be filled before sealcoating, but sealcoating should not be used to cover serious asphalt damage. If cracks are wide, deep, or connected to larger pavement issues, they may need repair before the surface is coated.

Drying time depends on the weather, temperature, sunlight, shade, humidity, and the type of surface being coated. Fresh sealcoating may look darker or glossier at first, then settle into a more even matte finish as it cures. Our team will let you know when the driveway or parking lot can be used again.

Freshly applied sealer can look glossy right after it goes down. That is normal. As the surface dries and settles, the finish usually becomes more even and matte. This is why the driveway or parking lot may look slightly different a few weeks after the initial application.

The right schedule depends on the condition of the asphalt, how much traffic it gets, weather exposure, and previous maintenance. Many driveways and parking lots benefit from sealcoating every few years, but Michael’s Paving can look at the surface and recommend what makes sense for your property.

It depends on the condition of the asphalt. Sealcoating can be a smart option for older pavement that is still structurally sound. If the asphalt is crumbling, holding water, full of deep cracks, or breaking apart, repair or resurfacing may be a better investment.
