Why We Use Oil-Based Driveway Sealer

At John Donohue Asphalt Paving, we use premium oil-based driveway sealer because it delivers superior protection and performance compared to water-based alternatives.

Key Advantages of Oil-Based Sealer:

Durability
Oil-based sealers can last 3–5 years, significantly longer than water-based options, especially in high-traffic areas.

Weather Resistance
They provide excellent protection against:

• Rain and water penetration
• Snow and ice damage
• Extreme temperature fluctuations

Restoration Properties
Oil-based formulas help rejuvenate aging asphalt, restoring essential oils lost over time and bringing back a richer, darker finish.

Superior Adhesion
The penetrating properties allow the sealer to bond deeply with the asphalt, sealing minor cracks and helping prevent future damage.

Our Asphalt Paving Process

We follow a proven process to ensure quality results:

1. Site preparation and grading
2. Proper base installation
3. Asphalt application using professional equipment
4. Compaction for a smooth, durable surface
5. Final inspection and cleanup

This attention to detail is what sets us apart from competitors.
