Can sealcoating fix cracks in my driveway?

No. Sealcoating is a thin surface coat, not a repair. Cracks need to be crack filled first, then the driveway can be sealed over the top.

Is resurfacing the same as repaving?

Not exactly. Resurfacing, or an overlay, lays new asphalt over a solid existing base. Full repaving tears out and rebuilds when the base has failed.

How often should I sealcoat my driveway in Maine?

Most driveways benefit from resealing every few years, sooner if the surface looks gray and dry. Maine winters wear sealer faster than milder climates.

Do I need to sealcoat a brand new driveway right away?

No. New asphalt needs to cure before sealing. Sealing too soon traps oils and does more harm than good.

Can you seal a driveway that already has potholes?

No. Potholes mean the asphalt or base has failed, and sealer cannot fix that. Those areas need patching or repaving first.
