Sealcoating and crack filling

Keeping water, weather and everyday wear off a driveway you already have — and doing the cracks first, so the sealer is not wasted.

The job, in our own words

Patch it. Fill the cracks. Then seal it.

“J&N knocked out a small patch, sealed up the cracks, and finished it off with a nice coat of sealer to help protect the driveway from water, weather, and everyday wear. A little maintenance now can help keep bigger, more expensive repairs away later.”

The sequence

How a sealcoat job runs.

Three steps, always in this order. The order is the whole point.

Patch what has failed

Holes and broken sections filled. Sealer is a coating, not a repair — it will not bridge a hole, and it will not hold an edge together.

Fill the cracks

Cracks are the route water takes into the base. They get filled before anything is coated over the top, because sealer poured onto an open crack runs straight into it.

Coat of sealer

An even coat over the whole surface to keep water, weather and everyday wear off the asphalt underneath.

Keep the interval

In our own words: a little maintenance now can help keep bigger, more expensive repairs away later. Sealing is the cheap end of the scale.

Crack filling

Water is what kills a driveway.

Not traffic. Not sun. Water getting underneath the surface and moving the base around.

A crack is a way in. Once water is under the asphalt it softens the base, washes fines out of it, and every freeze and thaw after that widens the crack a little more. That is how a hairline seam turns into the alligator pattern, and then into a hole.

Filling the cracks is the single cheapest thing you can do to a driveway. We will do it on its own — you do not have to seal the whole surface at the same time for it to be worth doing.

Same job, the apron

Where the drive meets the road

The bottom of a driveway takes the worst of it: every vehicle turns there, water runs there, and the edge has nothing holding it. On this one the apron was reshaped and finished along with the rest of the surface.
