Don’t miss your opportunity to sealcoat your asphalt driveway this spring or summer! Unlike states further south, Michigan has a short sealcoating season. For this reason, we recommend you call our driveway sealcoating contractors as soon as possible before demand for sealcoating skyrockets. We offer asphalt sealcoating as long as the weather permits.

Warm Dry Weather

We understand that you may be anxious to sealcoat your asphalt driveway this spring. However, we have to wait until the weather is consistently above 50 degrees before we can apply driveway sealer in good conscious. If driveway sealer is applied in cold weather, it won’t bond to pavement to form a protective layer. Instead, it’ll quickly wear off and leave your asphalt driveway exposed to the elements.

The whole point of sealcoating is to protect your asphalt driveway from the elements. However, you can’t do this if your driveway sealer isn’t applied during optimal weather conditions. It’s worth your time and money to wait for warm dry weather conditions before driveway sealcoating.

If there’s low humidity on the day we apply sealcoat, your driveway could cure in as little as 5 hours. However, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before letting vehicles drive and park on your asphalt driveway. That way, your newly sealed surface will have enough time to set up.

How Cold Weather Affects Sealcoating

We highly recommend you wait to apply driveway sealer until after the temperature consistently reaches 50 degrees. Otherwise, the sealer won’t adhere to the surface of your asphalt driveway and will quickly wear off. Driveways that have been sealed in cold weather are more prone to fading, cracking, and potholing.
