Asphalt wears from the top down. Sealcoat puts a fresh protective layer over the surface, so the asphalt underneath goes longer between repairs. It is upkeep, not repair, and it works best on a driveway that is still in good shape.
Timing matters on a new driveway. The asphalt needs 6 to 12 months to cure before its first coat, and after that it gets sealcoated every 1 to 2 years. Before any sealcoat goes on, the cracks are cleaned out and filled with hot-applied crack filler. Then the driveway gets two coats. Skip the crack filling, and water keeps reaching the base under a fresh coat.
Keep cars off for 24 to 48 hours while it dries. That includes the strip in front of the garage or carport, so plan where you'll park before the crew arrives. If a car lives in the garage, move it out the night before so nobody gets stuck. Most driveway sealcoating can be quoted from photos and a rough size, so nobody has to come out first.

Sealcoat won't close a crack. Each one is cleaned out and filled with hot-applied crack filler first, so water stops working its way down to the base.
Crack filling
Driveways and lots both get two coats. The sealcoat dries in 24 to 48 hours, and after that the surface is ready for cars again.
Asphalt sealcoatingA shopping strip can't rope off its whole lot for two days. Customers still need to park, and tenants still need deliveries. So the lot gets sealed in sections, in an order planned with you around your hours. Shutting every entrance at once isn't workable for most centers, and it doesn't have to happen.
Each section is cleaned, the cracks are filled, and the sealcoat is flood-coated with a squeegee machine in two coats. That section stays closed for 24 to 48 hours while it dries, and the rest of the lot stays in use. Cars stay off a section until it is dry, which is why the order matters. Then the crew moves to the next one.
Sealcoat covers the old lines, so the lot gets restriped once it dries. Stalls, ADA spaces, fire lanes, and arrows all go back down. That is a good time to fix a layout that never worked, since the old lines are gone anyway. Our own crews do the striping, and the fast-dry paint dries in about 30 minutes.
Dirt and loose material come off the lot before anything goes down, so the sealcoat sticks to the asphalt and not to whatever was sitting on top of it.

We set the order with you so an entrance and enough parking stay open while each section dries. Tenants know ahead of time which rows close and when.

Once the sealcoat is dry, our own crews repaint the stalls, ADA spaces, fire lanes, and arrows. If you want the layout changed, this is the time.
Striping in BrandonSealcoat protects asphalt that is still sound. It cannot fix a failed base. Put it over one, and the surface looks good for a while before the same cracks show back through. That's money spent on a surface that is already on its way out.
We look for the signs before we quote. Cracks that branch into a web, spots that have sunk, and potholes all point to trouble below the surface. We also look at where water stands, since that is often where the damage starts. Those areas get repaired first, or the pavement gets resurfaced or replaced if the damage covers too much of it.
If that's where your driveway or lot is, we'll tell you. Sometimes the honest answer is to fix the base first and sealcoat after. The quote shows the repair work and the sealcoating as separate line items, each with its own scope, so you can see what each part of the job is for. Once the repairs are in, the sealcoat goes on over sound pavement and does its job.
Cracks that branch and connect usually mean the base below is giving way. Filling and sealing won't hold them for long.
A low area that holds water after a rain has lost support underneath. It needs to be cut out and rebuilt.
Once the asphalt has broken through, the hole gets patched with new asphalt before any sealcoat goes on top.
