Driveway Sealcoating
At Elite Sealcoating, our mission is simple—protect your investment and deliver results that last. We don’t just “blacken” driveways. We restore them. Every project starts with real surface preparation, continues with premium materials, and ends with a finish that stands up to Ohio’s unpredictable weather. From residential homes to commercial lots, we treat every surface like it’s our own—no shortcuts, no gimmicks, no one-and-done jobs.
Driveway Sealcoating in Columbus Ohio
Your driveway is exposed to more punishment than any other surface on your property. Sunlight oxidizes it. Water seeps in and freezes. Road salts, oils, and chemicals slowly eat away at its binder. Without a proper protective layer, asphalt breaks down—fading, cracking, and unraveling long before it should.
Sealcoating isn’t cosmetic. It’s essential maintenance. The sealer we apply is engineered to bond deep into the surface, forming a flexible barrier that blocks UV rays, moisture, and chemical spills. This layer doesn’t just make your driveway darker—it strengthens it, preserving the asphalt binder and extending pavement life by years.
When done right, sealcoating can double the life expectancy of your asphalt. That’s why homeowners across Columbus trust Elite Sealcoating—we don’t cut corners, we don’t water down material, and we don’t disappear after the job.
Here’s what separates a professional job from a “bucket and brush” job:
- Surface Prep: We deep clean every square foot with blowers, brooms, and power washers to ensure proper adhesion.
- Edge Work: We hand-trim and edge cleanly against grass and concrete, giving you a sharp, professional look.
- Crack Treatment: We fill and seal cracks before applying sealer, locking out water and halting expansion.
- Product Quality: We use premium commercial-grade sealer with additives that resist wear, tracking, and fading.
- Application Method: We apply by hand or spray depending on the surface and condition—no streaks, no missed spots.
- Curing Time: We seal when weather allows for proper curing, not when it’s convenient for us.
A properly sealed driveway is more than a clean look—it’s a barrier that keeps Ohio’s moisture, salt, and freeze-thaw cycles from destroying your pavement.
Sealcoating is also one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain your property. It’s a small investment now that prevents massive repair costs later. If you want your driveway to look better, last longer, and stay protected, Elite Sealcoating delivers the kind of work you don’t have to question.
Our 5-Step Process
We follow a strict, proven process on every job—because when you do it right, it shows.
Step 1: Inspection & Preparation
We start by walking your property. We look for cracks, oil spots, drainage issues, and surface wear. Then we power clean the entire driveway, removing dirt, dust, and debris that would prevent proper bonding. Grass edges are trimmed back, and concrete areas are taped or shielded.
Step 2: Surface Repair
If there are cracks or small voids, we fill them before sealcoating. We use hot rubberized crack filler that expands and contracts with your asphalt, sealing water out for the long term.
Step 3: Priming & Edgework
Oil spots or problem areas get a primer to help the sealer bond. We hand-cut all edges with brushes to ensure crisp lines and even coverage right to the border.
Step 4: Premium Seal Application
We apply a top-quality commercial-grade sealer, mixed precisely to manufacturer specs—no watering down, no shortcuts. Depending on surface condition, we’ll apply one or two coats for full coverage. The finish is smooth, even, and deep black—just like new asphalt.
Step 5: Clean Finish & Curing
We protect your driveway with caution tape and leave clear aftercare instructions. Most driveways are ready for foot traffic in a few hours and vehicle traffic in 24–48. You’ll know exactly when and how to reopen your driveway.
Our goal is simple: deliver work that holds up and looks professional. A freshly sealed driveway from Elite doesn’t just stand out—it holds up through Ohio’s toughest seasons.

Think of sealcoating like sunscreen for your driveway. It locks out moisture, oil, salt, and UV rays before they can do damage. A fresh coat every few years doesn’t just look good — it can extend your asphalt’s life by five to seven years and save you thousands compared to repaving.
