At Bart’s Asphalt, we’re passionate about protecting and beautifying your pavement with top-notch sealcoating you can actually count on. We blend the best materials available with cutting-edge methods to deliver results that don’t just look great but stand up to Michigan’s toughest conditions.
Premium Material Application
We pick only the highest quality sealants that build a tough shield against UV rays, water penetration, and nasty chemicals that wear down your pavement. These carefully chosen materials bring durability that keeps your surfaces protected and looking fresh for the long haul.
Expert Surface Preparation
Our skilled crew takes care of everything, from deep cleaning and precise edge trimming to degreasing, all with advanced techniques that set the stage perfectly for the sealant. This important prep step helps the sealant stick like a glove and perform at its absolute best.
Professional Crack Sealing
Before applying sealcoat, we tackle cracks with the latest repair technology to keep moisture out and preserve the strength of your driveway. Sealing these new cracks early means your asphalt stays sound and smooth for years to come.
Two-Coat Application Process
Our seasoned pros apply two thin coats using refined methods that cover every inch evenly and build just the right thickness. Their careful application delivers top-tier protection and a flawless finish you’ll be proud of.
Infrared Asphalt Repair
When potholes strike, our experts deploy infrared asphalt repair to seamlessly melt and blend new asphalt with the old for a smooth, durable fix that looks like it was never there. It’s the smart way to handle potholes without disruption or eyesores.
Traction-Enhancing Additives
For driveways and areas exposed to slopes or high traffic, we mix in traction-boosting sand additives during sealcoating. This simple addition creates a safer, skid-resistant surface that helps prevent slips and keeps everyone steady on their feet.
Curing & Protection
We provide clear instructions for the 24-48 hour curing period. During this time, the sealcoat properly bonds to your asphalt surface. Full cure may take longer depending on weather conditions, but light traffic can typically resume after 24-48 hours in favorable weather.
Post-Care Guidance
Our team provides comprehensive maintenance recommendations to maximize your sealcoating investment. We advise on proper care during the initial cure period and schedule recommendations for your next inspection.

Why Professional Driveway Sealcoating Matters
Professional sealcoating delivers multiple benefits that protect your investment.
Extends Pavement Life: Creating a strong barrier against oxidation and moisture damage helps your driveway last longer, especially when paired with timely crack sealing and proper drainage care. Regular resealing and taking time to inspect your driveway for early signs of wear can further extend its lifespan.
Protects Your Investment: Driveway sealcoating brings back that deep, rich black color and smooth texture, instantly boosting your home’s curb appeal and even raising its market value. Professional sealcoating can also save you money by preventing costly repairs down the road.
Weather Protection: The protective coating shields your asphalt from freeze-thaw cycles, UV radiation, and moisture intrusion, which are the primary causes of pavement deterioration. During winter, removing snow carefully is important to avoid damaging the sealant and maintain protection.
Chemical Resistance: Sealcoating guards against further damage from automotive fluids, gasoline, oil, and de-icing chemicals that can soften and deteriorate unprotected asphalt.
Prevents Deterioration: Sealing up small cracks and imperfections early stops minor issues from snowballing into bigger problems like potholes and alligator cracking. Regularly inspect your driveway for signs of damage, especially in areas with frequent vehicles, to address issues before they worsen.
Optimal Timing & Conditions
Successful driveway sealcoating requires proper weather conditions and timing:
Temperature Requirements: Sealcoating must be applied when both pavement and air temperatures are at least 50°F and rising. That way, there’s proper adhesion and curing of the sealant material.
Weather Conditions: Your driveway surface must be completely dry with no rain in the forecast for at least 24-48 hours after application. Adequate sun and wind help with evaporation and curing. Applying sealcoat during ideal weather conditions—such as dry, mild temperatures and no rain—ensures the best results.
Best Seasons: Late spring through early fall provides optimal conditions for sealcoating in most climates. Avoid application during leaf-fall or within 24-48 hours of rainfall. Considering all relevant factors, such as climate and driveway condition, can help extend the life of your driveway.
New Asphalt Timing: New driveways should wait 6-12 months before the first sealcoat application. This allows volatiles to escape and the surface to properly cure.
Maintenance Frequency: Reapplication is recommended every 2-3 years for typical residential driveways, depending on traffic levels, climate conditions, and visible wear. Many factors, including traffic, climate, and the current surface condition, influence how often resealing is needed.
Proper Curing Time: While dry-to-touch occurs within hours, we recommend avoiding traffic for 24-48 hours in favorable weather. Shaded or humid areas may require an extended cure time.
