In Western New York, weather plays a major role in how long your driveway lasts. Between snow, salt, rain, and freeze–thaw cycles, asphalt takes a beating.
So how often should you seal it?
For most homes, sealing every 2–3 years is recommended. However, that timeline can vary depending on:
- Sun exposure
- Amount of traffic
- Existing cracks or surface wear
- Winter damage from plows and salt
Waiting too long allows small cracks to expand. Once water gets beneath the surface, repairs become more expensive and more involved.
Routine sealing protects your driveway from moisture penetration, oxidation, and premature deterioration. It also keeps your property looking clean and well-maintained.
If you’re unsure when your driveway was last sealed, it may be time for an inspection. Baughman Magic Seal can evaluate your surface and recommend the right schedule to protect your investment.
