Columbus pavement lives a hard life: hot summers that oxidize the binder out of your asphalt, freeze-thaw winters that pry open every crack, and road salt that accelerates both. The gray, faded look isn't cosmetic — it's your pavement telling you the surface has oxidized and water is getting in.
Sealcoating is the highest-leverage dollar you can spend on asphalt. It seals the surface against water and UV, restores a uniform black finish, and — combined with hot crack filling — stops the failure cycle before it reaches the base layer. Once water gets under your asphalt, you're not buying maintenance anymore; you're buying replacement.
SealTek brings the same commercial spec to a Westerville driveway that we run on national retail lots: SealMaster MasterSeal sealer spray-applied for even coverage, CrackMaster hot crack filler, and Petro Seal primer on oil spots. We've been doing exactly this across Ohio for more than 20 years, for clients as demanding as GM, NASA, and Walgreens.

Our process
Our Columbus sealcoating process
- 1
Edge and clear
Sod and grass cleared from all pavement edges so sealer bonds cleanly to the full surface.
- 2
Deep clean
Wire brooms and power blowers remove dirt and debris — prep is what separates a 5-year sealcoat from a 1-year one.
- 3
Prime problem spots
Oil and fluid stains pre-treated with SealMaster Petro Seal concentrated primer so sealer sticks.
- 4
Hot crack filling
SealMaster CrackMaster applied hot, so it flexes with the pavement instead of popping out next winter.
- 5
Spray-applied sealer
One to three coats of SealMaster MasterSeal by spray system — high-traffic lanes get a third coat in our Premium package.
- 6
Clean handoff
Taped edges, blocked-off area, and a clear cure timeline (usually 24–48 hours before traffic).
The difference is night and day
Before & after
A typical Central Ohio driveway before and after a SealTek sealcoat.

Common questions
FAQs
How often should a Columbus driveway be sealcoated?
Every 2–3 years. Central Ohio freeze-thaw cycles and road salt shorten the life of unsealed asphalt fast. If your driveway has gone gray, water is already getting into the surface.
How much does sealcoating cost in Columbus?
It depends on area, crack condition, and package level (Basic, Standard, Premium). Send your address and a photo through our estimate form and we will come back with a specific, no-obligation number.
Do you handle commercial parking lots in Columbus?
Yes — commercial sealcoating is our core business, with a 60-mile service radius covering Franklin, Delaware, Union, Madison, Pickaway, Fairfield, and Licking counties. Multi-site property portfolios welcome.
What products do you use?
SealMaster MasterSeal sealer, CrackMaster hot-applied crack filler, and Petro Seal oil-spot primer. Commercial-grade materials on every job, residential included.
Can you sealcoat around my business hours?
Yes. We phase commercial lots so part of your parking stays open, and we schedule around your operating hours — it is how we have serviced national retail chains for years.
When is sealcoating season in Columbus?
May through October, weather depending. Sealer needs 50°F+ and a dry window. Spring slots fill quickly, so book ahead.
