Pavement assessment
We measure the area and note cracking, raveling, oil spotting, and drainage before pricing anything, so the scope reflects the surface you actually have.
Asphalt sealcoating in Metairie
Sealcoating Metairie
We seal driveways, office lots, and retail pavement across Metairie, working from our New Orleans shop a short drive up Airline Drive. Every quote starts with a walk of the pavement so the prep is priced before the coating is.

Sealcoating built for Metairie driveways and parking lots
Metairie pavement spends most of the year under heat, heavy rain, and steady traffic, and that combination pulls the binder out of asphalt faster than owners expect. A seal coat puts a wearing surface back over the aggregate, but only where the asphalt beneath it is sound. We check for alligatoring, soft spots, and standing-water low areas first, then tell you plainly whether sealing is the right next step or whether repair should come ahead of it.
What the work covers
How a Metairie sealcoating job is put together
Each stage below has to happen in order, because skipping ahead is what causes a seal job to fail early. This is the sequence we follow on a Metairie property.
Cleaning and prep
Edges get cut back, debris is blown clear, and oil-stained areas are treated so the sealer bonds instead of lifting in sheets later.
Crack repair first
Open cracks are cleaned and filled before coating. Sealer alone bridges nothing, and a skipped crack reopens through the new finish within a season.
Controlled application
Coats go down at the spread rate the product calls for, with concrete, curbs, and landscaping masked, and barricades set so the surface cures undisturbed.

Working around tenants, staff, and residents in Metairie
Most Metairie properties cannot close completely, so we phase the work. A lot gets split into sections that open as they cure, and a residential driveway gets scheduled so vehicles are out before the first coat and back on the surface once it has set. We confirm that plan in writing before the crew arrives, because an access surprise costs a property more than the coating does.

How Much Does Sealcoating Cost in Metairie?
Our published New Orleans range applies here: sealcoating typically runs about $300 to $900 for many residential driveways, while larger commercial areas often fall between $1,500 and $6,000+ depending on square footage and access. Where a Metairie driveway sits on the lower end or a retail lot on the higher one comes down to measured area, pavement condition, crack repair, oil spotting, edge detail, and masking. We put the exact figure in a written quote after the walkthrough.
Before you schedule
Metairie sealcoating questions we hear most
Jefferson Parish owners ask about cure time and access more than anything else. These are the answers we give at the estimate.
How long before we can drive on it?
Plan on 24 hours for vehicle traffic in typical conditions, and longer when humidity stays high or the surface sits in shade. We give you a specific window for your property rather than a general rule, and we set barricades so nobody guesses.
Does my driveway need repairs before sealing?
Sometimes, and we would rather say so at the quote than after. Hairline cracking seals fine. Open cracks, broken edges, and areas that flex underfoot need attention first, or the new coat telegraphs those defects within months.
How often should Metairie pavement be resealed?
Two to four years covers most properties, driven by traffic and sun exposure more than the calendar. A shaded residential driveway stretches toward the longer end; a retail lot with daily turnover and delivery trucks lands nearer the shorter one.
Can you work around our business hours?
Yes, and it is usually the deciding factor in how we phase a lot. We can section the pavement so part stays open, or work early and late in the day where the schedule allows it.
What happens if it rains?
We watch the forecast and move the date rather than coat pavement that will not cure. Rain on fresh sealer means doing the work twice, so a postponement is the cheaper outcome for everyone.
