In a humid climate like Longview's, sealcoating is the cheapest insurance you can buy on asphalt. Residential driveways, commercial parking lots, HOA properties — owner Paul Pogue on every jobsite, free quotes in 24 hours.
Longview averages 50+ inches of rain per year — significantly more than the western half of our service area. Combined with high summer humidity and freeze-thaw winter cycles, that water exposure breaks down asphalt binders fast. An unsealed Longview driveway loses meaningful surface life every year you skip a coat.
Sealcoat replaces those binder oils and locks moisture out. $0.15–$0.30 per square foot every 3–5 years is the cheapest insurance you can buy on a driveway that costs $5–$9 per square foot to replace.
We use commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt-emulsion sealer applied in two coats — not the watered-down product sold at consumer hardware stores. The difference is roughly twice the durability for the same labor.
Residential driveway sealcoat: $0.15–$0.30 per square foot. A standard 600 sq ft driveway runs $90–$180. Most Longview driveways fall in this range.
Commercial parking lot sealcoat: $0.15–$0.25 per square foot. A 10,000 sq ft retail or church lot runs $1,500–$2,500.
Crack filling (when needed): $1–$3 per linear foot. Most Longview driveways need 20–40 linear feet on a 5-year cycle.
Re-striping (commercial only): $0.10–$0.20 per linear foot. A typical retail lot adds $300–$600 for full re-stripe.
All Longview sealcoating quotes are itemized in writing — labor, materials, crack fill, and striping listed separately so you can compare apples-to-apples. No "miscellaneous" charges.

Every 3–5 years. Longview's high humidity and 50+ inches of annual rainfall make moisture protection more critical than in drier markets, so staying on schedule pays off. New asphalt waits 6–12 months for the first coat.
Yes — typical 70–80% summer humidity extends cure time by several hours. We schedule around afternoon storms and may apply slightly thinner coats to compensate. The finished durability is identical; the timing window is just narrower.
April through October when ambient temperatures stay above 60°F for 24 hours after application. Spring and fall produce the most consistent results.
No. Sealcoat is preventive — it protects an intact surface. Potholes indicate base failure and require patching or replacement before any sealcoat. We evaluate each driveway on-site and tell you what it actually needs.
Yes — for commercial properties we schedule weekend and after-hours work to keep your lot operational. Most Longview retail and medical lots are sealed Friday evening through Sunday morning, fully drivable by Monday open.
