We work with property managers, business owners, and HOAs throughout the Capital Region to keep their asphalt surfaces protected and looking sharp. The parking lot is the first impression your property makes when customers arrive. Cracked, faded asphalt tells them you're not paying attention. A maintained lot tells them you are.
When you work with us, we start with a free on-site evaluation and build a plan specific to your property: sealcoating, crack filling, line striping, ADA markings, the full scope. We provide documented proposals for budgeting and board approval, and phase the work so your business stays open throughout.
We've helped hundreds of homeowners across the Capital Region protect their driveways and add serious curb appeal to their properties. Commercial-grade sealer hand applied with brushes and full prep on every job — we treat your driveway as if it were our own.
Your driveway takes a beating up here in Upstate NY. Between the plows, the salt, and freeze-thaw cycles every winter, unprotected asphalt doesn't stand a chance. Sealcoating every 2 to 3 years is the single most cost-effective thing you can do to keep your driveway looking good and avoid a $4,000–$8,000+ repave down the road.
Cracks left untreated are the leading cause of premature asphalt failure in the Capital District. Every pothole you see started as a crack, water got in, froze, expanded, and the cycle repeated dozens of times per winter until the surface broke apart.
We use hot rubberized crack filler heated to approximately 400°F that bonds directly to the crack walls and stays flexible through freeze-thaw cycles. Hot rubberized filler expands and contracts with the varying temps and prevents exisitng cracks from worsening
Pavement markings help your customers navigate your parking lot in a safe and efficient manner. Faded or missing lines create confusion, liability, and potential code violations. Fresh markings after sealcoating complete the job and give your lot a professional appearance.
We handle parking spaces, fire lanes, directional arrows, handicap spaces, ADA access aisles, crosswalks, and all required markings. Applied with commercial-grade traffic paint to current ADA specifications. Non-compliant accessible parking markings carry fines starting at $75,000 for a first violation. This isn't something to guess on. New markings can help reduce the risk of accidents and potential lawsuits.

How often should you sealcoat in Upstate New York?
Every 2 to 3 years is the right cadence for most driveways and parking lots that use Asphalt Emulsion sealer. Upstate winters are genuinely hard on asphalt: freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, plow damage, and summer UV all add up. If your asphalt gets heavy daily traffic or sits in full sun, lean toward every 2 years. A well-maintained driveway can last 20 to 25 years. A neglected one starts falling apart around year 10.
What's the difference between professional sealcoating and a DIY bucket from the hardware store?
Two main things: the material and the process.
The sealer we use is a commercial-grade asphalt emulsion formulated for professional application following manufacturer guidelines. It's thicker and more durable than what's on the shelf at Home Depot or Lowe's. Applied by pros who know the right conditions and what it takes for the material to dry and cure properly.
The process matters just as much. We sweep and prep the entire surface for proper adhesion, reclaim the asphalt edge by clearing the full perimeter of overgrown grass, weeds, and dirt, and use high-powered blowers to clear surface dust and clean deep into the pores. Most DIY jobs either skip all of that or don't have the proper tools and techniques to execute it.
A DIY application might hold up 6 to 12 months. A professional job lasts 2 to 3 years. When you break it down by cost (and your time) per year of protection, professional sealcoating wins almost every time.
What makes Upstate Asphalt different from other sealcoating companies?
A few things I think actually matter:
- Hand application with brushes
- Sealer only makes it on asphalt (we are precise)
- Quality material and manufacturer recommended additives
- Prep is an emphasis of our process
- We communicate every step and provide post care tips
- 1 Year warranty
We're not the cheapest option out there. But we do the job right and we stand behind it.
When is the best time to sealcoat in the Capital Region?
May through October is our season. Sealer needs temperatures above 50°F and dry weather to cure properly. The sweet spot up here is mid-May through late September. Asphalt emulsion doesn't perform well in the colder months, so we monitor temps and conditions closely to make sure every application cures the way it's supposed to.
Our schedule fills up fast once the season gets going. If you want to pick your date, reach out in April or early May. Call (518) 759-7325 or get a free quote online.
Why do you use asphalt emulsion sealer instead of coal tar?
Coal tar is banned in New York State. As of November 2023, the sale and application of coal tar-based pavement sealers is prohibited in NY due to the carcinogenic PAHs they release into soil, waterways, and even house dust. New York was one of the first states in the country to pass this ban.
To be straight with you: coal tar does provide a harder, longer-lasting finish. But it's not a legal option for us in New York, and asphalt emulsion applied correctly with proper additives holds up well through our winters. We use the best material available to us and apply it the right way so you get the most out of it.
