Sealcoating — VP Construction
Service

Sealcoating

Professional asphalt sealcoating services for driveways, parking lots, and roadways in Schuylkill, Carbon, and Berks County, PA. Protect your pavement from UV, water, and chemical damage.

Overview

Seal It Now or Replace It Later

Sealcoating is the single most cost-effective thing you can do to protect your asphalt. VP Construction applies commercial-grade sealer that blocks UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills — keeping your pavement dark, flexible, and crack-free for years longer.

What’s Included

Every angle of sealcoating,
covered in-house.

01

Driveway Sealcoating

Two-coat application of coal-tar or asphalt emulsion sealer on residential driveways. Restores that fresh black appearance and seals out moisture.

02

Parking Lot Sealcoating

Large-area spray application for commercial lots, apartment complexes, and business properties. We work around your schedule to minimize downtime.

03

Crack Filling

Hot rubberized crack filler applied before sealcoating to prevent water from reaching the base. Cracks left untreated are the number one cause of pavement failure.

04

Line Striping

Parking stall lines, fire lanes, handicap markings, and directional arrows reapplied after sealcoating for a finished, code-compliant lot.

05

Maintenance Programs

Scheduled sealcoating every 2 to 3 years for commercial properties. We track your cycle and reach out when it's time — one less thing to manage.

How It Goes

From estimate
to finished job.

One crew, one phone call. Here’s exactly what to expect when you hire VP Construction.

  1. 01

    Free On-Site Estimate

    We inspect the pavement condition, measure square footage, note any repairs needed, and provide a clear written quote.

  2. 02

    Surface Preparation

    The surface is cleaned of dirt, debris, oil spots, and vegetation. Oil stains are treated with a primer. Edges and joints are brushed clean.

  3. 03

    Crack Filling

    All cracks wider than a quarter inch are filled with hot rubberized sealant. This is a critical step that many contractors skip.

  4. 04

    Sealer Application

    Commercial-grade sealer is applied in two coats — the first by squeegee or spray for penetration, the second for a uniform finish and maximum protection.

  5. 05

    Curing & Barricade

    The area is barricaded and needs to cure for 24 to 48 hours before traffic. We set up cones, tape, and signage so your tenants or customers know what to expect.

FAQ

Sealcoating questions,
answered straight.

Don’t see your question? Call the crew at (570) 668-3737.

How often should I sealcoat my driveway?

Every 2 to 3 years is the sweet spot for most residential driveways in PA. Commercial lots with heavy traffic may benefit from a slightly more frequent schedule.

Can you sealcoat a brand-new driveway?

New asphalt needs to cure for 6 to 12 months before the first sealcoat. Sealing too early traps oils that need to evaporate and can cause the sealer to peel.

What happens if it rains after sealcoating?

Sealer needs at least 24 hours of dry weather to cure. We check the forecast before every job and will reschedule if rain is likely within the cure window.

Does sealcoating fix cracks?

Sealcoating seals the surface but doesn't fill cracks. That's why we always include crack filling as a separate step before applying sealer. Skipping crack fill is a waste of money.

How long does sealcoating last?

A properly applied two-coat sealcoat lasts 2 to 3 years depending on traffic volume and weather exposure. Regular reapplication keeps your asphalt protected continuously.
