Frequently asked

Driveway Sealcoating questions we hear most

How often should I sealcoat my driveway in Chicago?+

Every 2 to 3 years is the sweet spot for Chicagoland driveways. Illinois freeze-thaw and salt are hard on asphalt — resealing on that cadence is the simplest way to avoid premature repaving.

Can I sealcoat a brand-new driveway?+

Not immediately. New asphalt needs 6–12 months to cure and release its oils before sealcoating. We'll flag the right window when we visit.

How long until I can drive on it?+

Foot traffic is safe in 4–8 hours. Most vehicles can park on the driveway in 24–48 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
