Asphalt Sealcoating in Detroit: what to expect

Asphalt sealcoating in Detroit protects the binder in your driveway or lot from sun, water, oil and the road salt that gets tracked in all winter. It is a maintenance coating, not a repair: it will not fix a failing base or fill a pothole, but applied on a sound surface it slows oxidation and gives the asphalt a fresh, dark finish.

Prep decides how well it bonds. A good crew cleans and edges the surface, treats oil spots, fills cracks first, and applies sealer in thin coats when the weather is warm and dry, usually late spring through early fall in Metro Detroit. New asphalt should cure before it is sealed; ask your paver how long to wait. Over-sealing builds up a slick layer that can peel, so let the condition of the surface, not a calendar, drive the schedule.

Sealers come in asphalt emulsion, coal tar and other blends. Coal tar sealers are high in PAHs and some communities restrict them, so ask what product will be used. Pair sealcoating with crack filling, or browse all Detroit paving companies.

What a proper job includes

  • Surface inspection to confirm the asphalt is sound enough to seal
  • Cleaning, edging and blowing off debris
  • Oil spot treatment or priming
  • Crack filling before sealing
  • Sealer mixed and applied in thin, even coats by squeegee or spray
  • Barricades and cure time instructions
  • Striping restored on lots if included

What drives the price

  • Surface area and layout
  • Condition of the asphalt and amount of crack filling needed
  • Sealer type and number of coats
  • Oil spot treatment and prep time
  • Restriping on commercial lots
  • Scheduling around business hours or tenants

Permits and licensing in Michigan

Sealcoating a private driveway or lot does not normally need a building permit. If the work extends into the public approach or sidewalk, check with the city or road agency (the DPW City Engineering Division in Detroit). Keep sealer and rinse water out of storm drains, and ask how the crew protects nearby surfaces and landscaping.

Michigan's Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license lists trades such as Concrete and Excavation but no separate asphalt paving trade, so ask which LARA license the company holds, if any, and check it on the LARA lookup. Either way, confirm a local business address, proof of insurance and references before you pay. Be wary of door-to-door sealcoating offers that ask for cash up front.

How to compare quotes

  1. Ask which sealer they use and how many coats are included.
  2. Confirm that crack filling and oil spot treatment are in the price.
  3. Ask how long to stay off the surface and what weather they need.
  4. Check any license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
  5. Get the scope and area in writing before any payment.

Common questions

Asphalt Sealcoating FAQ

It depends on the surface area, the condition of the asphalt, how much crack filling is needed, the sealer type, number of coats, and prep time. Compare quotes for the same product and number of coats.
Most driveways are resealed every few years, depending on wear, sun and traffic. Seal when the surface looks gray and dry, not on a fixed schedule, to avoid buildup.
Usually a day or more, depending on temperature, humidity and the product. Your contractor should tell you when foot and vehicle traffic can return.
No. Cracks should be filled before sealing. Sealer protects sound asphalt but does not repair structural damage.
