Driveway Sealing & Sealcoating in Moncton
A sealcoat that protects a sound driveway from water, frost, and fading, applied only when the surface is actually a candidate for it.
Sealing is the least expensive way to protect a driveway that is still fundamentally sound, and money thrown away on one that is not. The whole value of a sealcoat is timing, so the first thing Moncton Paving Co does is tell you honestly which driveway you have.
What a Sealcoat Actually Does
Fresh asphalt is dark and tight, but sun, water, and Moncton’s freeze-thaw slowly open its surface: the black fades to grey, fine cracks appear, and each winter a little more water works into them and freezes. A sealcoat lays a protective film over a sound surface that keeps that water out and holds the finish black. It is protection, not repair, so it earns its price on a driveway whose base is still solid.
Prepped Before It Is Sealed
A sealer is only as good as what is under it. We clean the surface, cut back any weeds at the edges, and fill the cracks first, because sealing over a dirty or cracked driveway just traps the problem underneath a fresh-looking coat. Then we apply the sealcoat in dry, warm conditions and give you a straight timeline for keeping cars off it while it cures.
If your driveway is past the point a seal can help, we will tell you plainly instead of taking the job. A sealcoat on a failing base buys a nicer-looking season and nothing more.

Driveway Sealing & Sealcoating Questions
Is sealing a driveway actually worth it?
On a driveway with a solid base and a surface that is only starting to grey and hairline-crack, yes. A sealcoat slows the water and frost damage that opens those cracks into potholes, and it restores the black finish. On a driveway that is already crumbling or holding water, a sealer only hides the problem, so we will tell you straight if yours needs more than a seal.
How often should a Moncton driveway be sealed?
In a climate with over three metres of snow a year and constant freeze-thaw, most driveways benefit from sealing every two to three years once the asphalt has cured. Sealing too often builds up a brittle film, and sealing too rarely lets water get a head start, so we help you time it to your driveway rather than a calendar.
When is the best time of year to seal?
Sealer needs warm, dry pavement to bond and cure, so we apply it from late spring through early fall, and never right before rain or a cold snap. A seal laid on damp or cold asphalt peels, which is why we schedule around the weather instead of forcing it.
