Extend the Life of Your Pavement with Expert Asphalt Sealcoating
Sealcoating is one of the most effective ways to protect your asphalt surface from damage and deterioration. At Right Striping, we specialize in residential and commercial sealcoating throughout Nevada City, Grass Valley, and surrounding areas.
Our process helps prevent cracks, surface wear, and water intrusion while improving the overall look of your pavement. Whether you need to preserve a driveway, parking lot, or private road, our sealcoating service adds long-term value and visual appeal.
We apply high-performance coatings using professional techniques to ensure lasting results with every job.
What Sealcoating Does
Asphalt is exposed to the elements every day. Over time, sun, rain, oil, and traffic begin to break down the surface. This leads to fading, cracking, and early failure of the pavement.
Sealcoating helps by:
Providing a protective barrier against water and chemicals
Blocking UV rays that dry out and weaken asphalt
Filling small surface voids and sealing hairline cracks
Restoring a dark, clean, finished appearance
With regular sealcoating, asphalt can last longer, perform better, and resist the wear that leads to expensive repairs.

Our Sealcoating Process
We follow a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure every job is completed with care and consistency.
Surface Cleaning
We remove dirt, debris, oil, and vegetation to prepare the asphalt for sealing. Clean surfaces allow the sealer to bond properly.
Crack Sealing (if needed)
Small cracks are filled and sealed using high-quality material to prevent moisture from entering the subbase.
Edge Protection
We carefully seal along curbs, borders, and obstacles for full coverage and clean lines.
Sealant Application
We apply a commercial-grade sealant evenly across the asphalt using brush or spray methods depending on surface type.
Dry Time and Access Control
Surfaces are marked and blocked off to ensure proper curing. We communicate clear timelines for reopening the area.
Each project is tailored to the specific needs of the site. We never over-apply or rush the process, which helps deliver reliable, consistent results.
How to Know If Your Asphalt Needs Sealcoating
If you’re unsure whether it’s time to seal your asphalt, here are a few signs to look for:
Faded Color
Surface color has faded to gray
Cracks
Hairline cracks are forming
Water Absorption
Water no longer beads on the surface
Stains
Oil stains are starting to absorb
Texture
Pavement feels rough or brittle
If your asphalt shows one or more of these signs, it’s a good time to consider sealcoating. Early maintenance is far less costly than surface replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I sealcoat my driveway or lot?
Most asphalt surfaces should be sealcoated every two to three years. High-traffic areas or surfaces exposed to extreme weather may need more frequent maintenance.
Can you sealcoat over cracks or damaged areas?
We recommend repairing cracks and potholes before sealcoating. This ensures the surface is properly sealed and the finished result is smooth and uniform.
How long does sealcoating take to dry?
Sealcoating typically dries within 24 hours for foot traffic and 48 hours for vehicles, depending on weather conditions.
Does sealcoating fill in cracks?
Sealcoating helps fill minor surface voids, but it does not repair structural cracks. We provide crack filling as a separate service before sealing the surface.
Will sealcoating make my asphalt look new?
Sealcoating restores a clean, dark finish and significantly improves the appearance of your pavement, making it look newer and well maintained.
