The sealer fills small surface voids, restores the dark appearance of asphalt, and creates a barrier against UV rays, water penetration, gasoline, and oil. Regular sealcoating (every 2–4 years) can double or triple the lifespan of an asphalt surface compared to unsealed pavement. Seal Right's sealcoating process: 1. **Preparation** — The crew cleans the surface with commercial blowers and brooms, removing all loose debris, dirt, and vegetation from cracks and edges. 2. **Crack treatment** — Any existing cracks are addressed before sealing. Minor cracks are filled; larger cracks receive hot-pour crack filler. 3. **Edging** — Edges along curbs, walls, and landscaping are hand-applied for a clean, professional finish. 4. **Sealer application** — The sealer is applied by squeegee or spray, depending on surface conditions and project size. Two coats are applied on most jobs. 5. **Cure time** — The sealed surface requires 24–48 hours of dry time before vehicle traffic is allowed. Seal Right serves both residential driveways and commercial parking lots. Commercial jobs are scheduled to minimize business disruption — sections of a lot can be sealed in phases, and early-morning or overnight scheduling is available. Typical cost range: $0.15–$0.35 per square foot for residential driveways; $0.08–$0.20 per square foot for large commercial lots (volume discounts apply). ### Crack Sealing Crack sealing (also called crack filling) is one of the most cost-effective asphalt maintenance treatments available. Water is the primary cause of asphalt deterioration — it enters cracks, expands during freeze-thaw cycles, and undermines the base material. Sealing cracks early prevents this cycle. Seal Right's crack sealing process: 1. **Crack routing or cleaning** — Cracks are cleaned with a heat lance or wire brush to remove vegetation, loose material, and moisture. 2. **Crack filling** — Hot-pour rubberized crack filler is applied, which remains flexible through temperature changes and bonds tightly to the crack walls. 3. **Overfill and level** — The filler is slightly overfilled and leveled flush with the surface. 4. **Blotter application** — Sand or blotter material is applied over the filler to prevent tracking. Crack sealing is recommended before sealcoating and is often included as part of a combined maintenance package. ### Line Striping Line striping (also called line marking or parking lot striping) involves painting traffic markings on asphalt or concrete surfaces. Seal Right provides full line striping services for parking lots, warehouses, driveways, and other paved surfaces. Services include: - Parking stall lines (standard and ADA-compliant) - Handicap symbols and access aisles - Fire lane markings and curb painting - Directional arrows and traffic flow markings - Stop bars and crosswalks - Custom layouts for new or reconfigured lots - Re-striping over existing faded markings Seal Right stays current with ADA standards and local codes to ensure compliance. Line striping is typically performed after sealcoating has fully cured, or as a standalone service on existing pavement. ### Asphalt Repair and Patching For surfaces with more significant damage — potholes, alligator cracking, or failed sections — Seal Right offers asphalt patching and repair services. Repairs are performed before sealcoating to ensure a uniform, long-lasting result. --- ## Service Area Seal Right, Inc. serves a wide geographic area across the Southern Tier of New York and into Pennsylvania.

New asphalt should cure for at least 6–12 months before the first sealcoat. Heavily trafficked commercial lots may benefit from more frequent maintenance. **How long does sealcoating take to dry?** The sealed surface should be kept free of vehicle traffic for 24–48 hours after application. Foot traffic is generally safe after 4–6 hours in warm, dry conditions. **What is the best time of year to sealcoat?** Sealcoating requires air and pavement temperatures above 50°F and no rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours. In the Southern Tier, the prime season is May through October. **Can you sealcoat over cracks?** Cracks should be filled before sealcoating. Sealer alone will not bridge or repair cracks — it will simply coat over them without providing structural repair. Seal Right addresses cracks as part of every sealcoating job. **Do you offer maintenance contracts?** Yes. Seal Right offers annual and multi-year maintenance contracts for commercial properties, covering scheduled sealcoating, crack sealing, and line striping on a regular cycle. **How much does sealcoating cost?** Residential driveways typically range from $150–$500 depending on size. Commercial parking lots are priced per square foot with volume discounts for larger areas.
