We recommend every 2–3 years for Rochester driveways. The harsh winters, road salt, and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate asphalt wear more than in warmer climates.

Late spring through early fall — typically May through September — when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and rain is not in the forecast for 24–48 hours.

How long does driveway sealcoating take to dry in Rochester?

Under normal Rochester summer conditions, sealcoating is dry to foot traffic in 4–6 hours and ready for vehicles in 24–48 hours.

Do you fill cracks before sealcoating?

Yes — crack filling is included in every job. We clean, prep, and fill cracks before applying sealer so the finished surface is smooth and fully protected.
