Columbus and Central Ohio experience intense temperature swings. Freeze-thaw cycles cause asphalt to expand and contract, leading to cracks. Sealcoating creates a waterproof, flexible barrier that prevents this damage and extends the life of your pavement.
For best results, sealcoat every 2 to 3 years. High-traffic areas may require more frequent applications to maintain a smooth, durable surface.
Sealcoating protects your surface — but it doesn’t repair existing damage. We recommend crack filling and asphalt patching before applying the sealcoat to ensure long-lasting results. Our team can handle both for you.
Sealcoating usually dries in 4–8 hours for foot traffic, but we recommend waiting 24–48 hours before driving or parking on it for best results.
