Residential · San Jose, CA
Keep water, UV, and oil from breaking down your pavement with professional asphalt sealcoating from Apex Asphalt San Jose, serving since 2018. We sealcoat residential driveways and commercial parking stalls in San Jose using commercial-grade sealer, proper prep, and clean edgework for a uniform finish.
Good sealcoating starts with prep, not a quick spray. We clear vegetation and debris, pressure wash as needed, and remove oil spots so the sealer can bond to the asphalt binder instead of dust and residue. Cracks are routed or cleaned and filled with hot-pour rubberized crack filler (or asphalt crack sealant where appropriate), then patched areas are leveled with asphalt patch and compacted so the surface is stable before any coating goes down.
San Jose heat and sun oxidize asphalt fast, and winter rains push water into small cracks that turn into alligator cracking and potholes. To slow that cycle, we apply a consistent coat thickness and cut in edges by hand around garage aprons, walkways, and drains, then squeegee and brush for even coverage and better texture. Depending on your pavement condition and use, we may recommend two thin coats instead of one heavy coat to reduce tracking, improve cure, and keep the finished surface from looking blotchy.
San Jose customers choose us because we treat sealcoating like a maintenance system, not cosmetics. You get a licensed and insured asphalt contractor that shows up on schedule, protects concrete and landscaping, and uses the right tools for the job, including industrial blowers, wire brooms, crack-cleaning equipment, squeegees, and spray application when the site allows it. We also give clear expectations on cure times, weather windows, and realistic outcomes based on the age of your asphalt and whether the base and drainage are doing their job.
After the last coat, we do a walkthrough and point out any areas that may need future patching, grading, or drainage corrections before the next maintenance cycle. You receive a free written estimate up front, straightforward scope, and site-specific guidance on when to reopen to foot traffic and vehicles (typically 24-48 hours depending on temperature and shade). If you want additional protection and a cleaner look, we can stripe parking stalls and add pavement markings after the sealer has cured.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the recommended scope, measured quantities, and the materials and steps included.
Yes. We regularly transition asphalt to garage slabs, sidewalks, and existing concrete, using clean sawcut edges where needed and proper compaction at the joint to reduce separation.
Repair scope depends on the failure, but may include sawcut and removal, base rebuild with aggregate, compaction, hot mix placement, and edge sealing. We can also add crack sealing and sealcoating where appropriate.
Yes. We stripe stalls, arrows, fire lanes, and accessible markings, and we can coordinate layouts for re-striping after paving or sealcoating.
Yes. For active businesses, we can phase paving or resurfacing, set cure windows, and plan access routes to reduce downtime.
Asphalt sealcoating is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of a driveway or light-use parking area by blocking UV oxidation, limiting water intrusion, and improving resistance to oil and chemical spills. Apex Asphalt San Jose provides asphalt sealcoating in San Jose, CA with a prep-first process that includes cleaning, crack filling, and spot repairs so the coating actually bonds and cures evenly. Sealcoating will not fix structural failures, but on sound pavement it slows raveling, reduces cracking, and restores a dark, consistent finish.
For most properties, the right time to sealcoat is after new asphalt has cured and shed excess oils, then on a repeating maintenance schedule based on traffic and exposure. Driveways with frequent turning, parked vehicles, or full sun typically need more frequent attention than shaded, low-traffic surfaces. Before we quote, we look at surface oxidation, existing crack patterns, low spots, and drainage, because standing water and a weak base will shorten any coating’s lifespan.
Our asphalt sealcoating process typically includes debris removal, pressure washing when required, oil-spot priming, crack cleaning, and crack sealing with rubberized material. We then apply commercial-grade asphalt sealer using a squeegee-and-brush method for tight control, with spray application used where access and overspray protection allow. Clean cut-ins around concrete, pavers, and landscape edges help prevent messy lines and tracking.
If your driveway has potholes, soft spots, or alligator cracking, we will recommend patching or localized repair before sealcoating so you are not coating over failure. Once complete, we leave you with practical next steps, including when to reopen, how to avoid tire scuffing during the first turns, and when to plan your next crack fill and sealcoat cycle.
