Driveway Sealing FAQ for Albuquerque Homeowners

How often should Albuquerque homeowners get driveway sealing?
Given Albuquerque's intense uv at 5,312 ft elevation — among the highest for a major us metro, most homeowners benefit from driveway sealing at least once a year. Monsoon flash flood and mud cleanup (July–September) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Albuquerque most need driveway sealing?
Adobe and territorial-style stucco homes (architectural tradition) and Pueblo revival homes in older Albuquerque Heights are the most common home types in Albuquerque and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How often should I seal my driveway?
Most asphalt driveways should be sealed every 2–3 years. New driveways should wait 6–12 months before the first sealing to allow proper curing.
How long does the process take?
Most residential driveways can be sealed in 2–4 hours. The driveway should stay off-limits for 24 hours and avoid vehicle traffic for 48–72 hours for full cure.
Can you seal a cracked driveway?
Yes. Minor to moderate cracks can be filled prior to sealing. Severely deteriorated driveways may need repairs or replacement before sealing is effective.
What's the best time of year to seal a driveway?
Late spring through early fall when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and no rain is expected for 24 hours.
