The East Bay sun breaks down unprotected asphalt faster than most people realize. Sealcoating before the damage sets in costs far less than repaving later.
Asphalt sealcoating in Martinez, CA is a thin protective layer applied over existing pavement to shield it from UV oxidation, rain, and vehicle fluids - most residential driveways take a few hours from start to finish.
Martinez sits in a part of the East Bay where summers are long, hot, and sunny. That UV load is the single biggest enemy of unsealed asphalt in this region - it turns the surface gray and brittle before you know it. Catching it early means sealcoating, not repaving.
Sealcoating does not fix damage that already exists. If your pavement has cracks forming, those need to be filled first - see our asphalt crack sealing service for that step. Once the surface is prepped, a fresh seal coat can add years of life.
Fresh asphalt is dark black. When it fades to dull gray, the surface oils have oxidized from the intense East Bay sun and the pavement is becoming brittle. This is the best time to seal - before cracks form.
Hairline cracks are early signs the pavement is drying out. In Martinez, where clay soils shift seasonally, these cracks can widen faster than expected. Sealcoating after crack filling at this stage can stop the damage.
Vehicle fluids soften asphalt and accelerate breakdown. If you see dark stains from oil or coolant, those spots are already weakening the surface. A contractor can treat and prime those areas before sealing.
If you cannot remember when your driveway was last sealed - or it has been three or more years - the protective layer has likely worn through. In the sunny Martinez climate, UV breaks down sealer faster than in cooler regions.
We handle residential driveways and commercial lots of all sizes. Every job starts with thorough surface cleaning - blowing off debris, treating oil stains, and filling any cracks before a single drop of sealer goes down. That prep work is what separates a seal coat that lasts three years from one that peels in a season.
For properties that also need line markings refreshed after sealing, we offer parking lot striping as a natural next step. And if your surface has progressed beyond simple maintenance, our asphalt crack sealing service addresses damage before it gets worse.
Best for homeowners whose driveway is fading or due for maintenance - typically completed in a single day.
Best for property managers and business owners who need to protect a larger paved surface efficiently.
Best when existing cracks need addressing before the protective coat goes down.
Martinez sits in Contra Costa County where summer temperatures regularly climb into the 90s. Prolonged UV exposure is the primary reason unsealed asphalt degrades so quickly here - it oxidizes the surface, turns it gray and brittle, and causes it to crack faster than freeze-thaw cycles ever would in colder climates. In this region, sealcoating is essentially sun protection for your pavement.
The clay-heavy soils throughout the area also shift seasonally as they absorb and release moisture - which is why crack filling before sealing is especially important here. We serve property owners across Martinez and in neighboring areas including Concord and Walnut Creek. The Mediterranean dry season from late spring through early fall is the ideal scheduling window for this work.

Sealcoating over unfilled cracks on clay-heavy ground is a short-term fix at best. We assess the soil conditions and crack situation before any sealer goes down - which is the difference between a job that lasts two to three years and one that peels in a season.
Your written quote spells out surface prep, crack filling, number of coats, and the product used. That protects you from unexpected charges and gives you a clear basis for comparison if you are getting multiple bids.
We have been working on driveways and lots across Martinez and the surrounding Contra Costa County communities for years. We understand the local scheduling window, the UV conditions, and the soil movement that makes prep work so important here.
These are not just talking points - they are the specific things that determine whether a sealcoating job lasts two years or peels in six months. We do the prep right so you get the full life out of every application.
After sealcoating covers old lines, fresh striping restores clear markings and ADA-compliant spaces.
