Most driveways in Maine should be sealcoated every 2–3 years to protect against cracking, moisture, and damage from harsh weather conditions. Regular sealcoating helps extend the life of your asphalt and keeps it looking its best.

Sealcoating adds a protective layer that helps prevent damage from water, UV rays, oil stains, and Maine’s freeze-thaw cycles. It also restores the dark, fresh look of your driveway and helps prevent early deterioration.

Sealcoating typically dries within 24–48 hours, depending on weather conditions like temperature and humidity. It’s important to keep vehicles off the surface during this time to ensure proper curing and long-lasting results.

Basic preparation can help, but Select Sealcoating handles most of the prep work, including cleaning, crack filling, and surface preparation. Proper prep ensures better adhesion and a more durable finish.

If your driveway looks faded, has small cracks, or is starting to wear down, it’s a good sign it’s time to sealcoat. Addressing these early can help prevent more costly repairs later.
