How long should the first sealcoat application last?
This depends on many factors: the number of coats, the amount of traffic, how much sand and salt is put on in the winters, whether it is in the shade more than the sun, how much water runs over it, etc. Having said that, the average for driveways is between 4 and 6 years. Parking lots and Condos 3 to 5 years but less at the entrances.
