Protect and Preserve Your Driveway with Sealcoating
Driveway sealcoating acts as a barrier against the elements—guarding your asphalt from moisture, harsh chemicals, and daily wear. With regular use, especially in high-traffic zones, this protective layer naturally begins to fade. To keep your driveway in peak condition, we suggest applying a new coat annually. It not only enhances appearance but also helps prevent costly damage and extends the life of your surface.
The WE DO Driveway Sealcoating Process
Step 1: Preparing and Securing the Driveway
When we arrive, we begin by securing the area—blocking off the driveway entrance to prevent vehicles or unexpected guests from driving over the surface during the sealcoating process. Next, we confirm with the homeowner that the area is clear and any items near the garage are removed. Even if your driveway is relatively new, early sealcoating is a smart investment that helps preserve its condition for years to come.
Step 2: Deep Cleaning for Lasting Results
We thoroughly clean the entire driveway to create the ideal surface for sealcoat adhesion. This includes removing dirt, debris, and any surface contaminants. For tougher spots, we use a wire brush or broom to scrub away stubborn grime, organic buildup, or chemical residue. A meticulously clean surface is essential to ensure the sealcoat bonds properly and delivers long-lasting protection.
Step 3: Precision Sealcoat Application by Hand
We begin by pumping high-quality sealer from our trailer tank and carefully applying it to your driveway. For full control and a cleaner job, we use hand application techniques instead of spraying. This allows us to create a thicker, more even layer that lasts longer. In tight corners and edges, we use a small hand brush to ensure every inch is thoroughly covered—delivering a clean, precise finish without mess or overspray.
Final Step: Securing & Curing Your Driveway for Lasting Protection
After the sealcoat is applied, we carefully barricade the driveway with bright yellow caution tape to ensure it remains undisturbed. While the surface may look dry within a few hours, we recommend allowing a full 48 hours for proper curing. This curing time is essential for achieving a long-lasting, durable finish that protects your driveway for years to come.
