When Is It the Right Time to Sealcoat?

Sealcoating is a crucial step in maintaining your asphalt surfaces and ensuring they last for years. At Williams Paving Inc., we specialize in asphalt care, including professional sealcoating services across Raleigh, Cary, and the surrounding areas in North Carolina. But how do you know when it’s time to sealcoat your driveway, parking lot, or road? Here, we’ll discuss the key indicators and benefits of sealcoating your asphalt surfaces.

Signs It’s Time to Sealcoat 

• Fading Color – If your asphalt is losing its deep black color and turning gray, it’s a clear sign of oxidation caused by prolonged sun exposure. Sealcoating restores the rich, dark finish and protects it from further damage. 

• Cracks and Small Potholes – Small cracks and potholes are early indicators of wear. Sealcoating fills minor cracks and provides an extra layer of defense against water and debris infiltration that can worsen the damage.

• Lack of Previous Maintenance – If it has been more than two to three years since your last sealcoating, your asphalt could be vulnerable. Regular resealing ensures ongoing protection and keeps the surface durable. 

• High Traffic Areas – Parking lots, driveways, or roads with heavy use experience more wear and tear. If you notice increased surface degradation in high-traffic spots, it’s time to schedule sealcoating.
