What this service includes
Every driveway sealcoating project from Maisano Brothers Inc. covers the work that makes the result last.
Thorough surface cleaning
We clear dirt, debris, and vegetation, and treat oil spots so the sealer bonds properly.
Crack filling
We fill working cracks with hot rubberized sealant before sealcoating so water stays out of the base.
Edge and detail work
We cut clean edges along lawns, walkways, and the garage for a crisp finished look.
Professional sealer application
We apply a quality sealer at the correct coverage rate for even protection and color.
Curing guidance
We mark off the driveway and explain how long to stay off it for the best result.

How often should I sealcoat my driveway?
For most Connecticut driveways, every two to three years is the right interval. Sealing too often can cause buildup, while waiting too long lets oxidation and cracking advance.
When can I sealcoat a brand-new driveway?
Wait at least 90 days, and ideally a full season, after installation. New asphalt needs time to cure before a sealer is applied.
How long does sealcoating take to dry?
Sealcoat is usually ready for foot traffic within a day and vehicle traffic in 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. We give you exact timing on the job.
Does sealcoating fix cracks?
No. Sealcoating protects the surface but does not repair cracks. We fill working cracks with rubberized sealant before applying sealcoat.
What is the best time of year to sealcoat in Connecticut?
Late spring through early fall, when temperatures are reliably warm and dry, gives the best curing conditions.
