Extend the Life of Your Asphalt With Expert Sealcoating
High-quality sealcoating that defends your asphalt against weather, traffic, and wearwhile helping your pavement last longer and look better.
Sealcoating is one of the most effective ways to protect and extend the life of your asphalt surfaces. For commercial properties, where pavement sees constant use from vehicles, foot traffic, and the elements, routine sealcoating is a smart investment. It helps prevent damage from water, oil, UV exposure, and oxidation while restoring a clean, dark finish that improves the look and safety of your lot or road.
At Docherty Paving, we use high-quality, commercial-grade sealcoating products and proven application methods to deliver lasting results. Whether you manage a retail center, school, apartment complex, or office park, we will work around your schedule to complete the job with minimal disruption. Sealcoating not only adds years to your pavement but also sends a message that your business takes pride in its appearance and upkeep. Let our experienced team help you protect your asphalt the right way.
The Long-Term Value of Sealcoating
Sealcoating offers an added layer of protection that helps asphalt withstand the daily impact of weather, traffic, oil spills, and oxidation. It slows the natural wear and tear that comes with time and keeps your pavement looking clean and well-maintained. A properly sealed surface also resists water penetration, which is one of the leading causes of cracks and potholes. You can double the life expectancy of your driveway with seal coating.
For most commercial properties, sealcoating should be done every two to three years, depending on the level of traffic and exposure. Regular sealcoating not only extends the life of your pavement but also saves you money in the long run by reducing the need for costly repairs or early replacement. Staying on a proper maintenance schedule helps keep your lot safe, functional, and professional-looking year after year.

Common Questions
What is sealcoating, and why does my driveway need it?
Sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt that helps shield it from water, sun, oil, and everyday wear. It extends the life of your driveway and keeps it looking clean and sharp.
How often should I sealcoat my driveway?
Most driveways should be sealcoated every two to three years. If your driveway sees heavy traffic or harsh weather, you might need it a little more often.
Can sealcoating fix cracks or potholes?
Sealcoating is great for preventing damage, but it won’t fix deeper cracks or potholes. Those areas should be repaired first before applying a sealcoat.
How long should I wait before driving on my driveway after sealcoating?
We recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before driving on a newly sealed driveway to allow it to fully cure.
How do I know when it's time to reseal my driveway?
If your asphalt looks faded, feels dry or rough, or shows early signs of cracking, it’s likely time for a new coat. We’re happy to inspect it and give you honest guidance.

Residential Sealcoating
At Docherty Paving, we take a careful and thorough approach to residential sealcoating. We start by cleaning the surface to remove dirt, debris, and any oil spots, then edge the driveway for a clean finish. Once the surface is fully prepped, we apply a high-quality sealcoat evenly across the asphalt using professional tools and techniques. Our team pays close attention to detail to ensure full coverage and a smooth, consistent finish that protects your driveway and keeps it looking its best.
Commercial Sealcoating
For commercial properties, our sealcoating process is built around durability, safety, and minimal disruption to your business. We begin by thoroughly cleaning the asphalt surface and addressing any oil spots or debris that could affect adhesion. Our team then applies a commercial-grade sealcoat with precision to ensure consistent coverage, even in high-traffic areas. We work efficiently and can schedule the job during off-hours or weekends to avoid interfering with your operations. The result is a clean, sealed surface that not only looks sharp but stands up to daily use and weather exposure.
