A fresh coat of sealer is the cheapest insurance your asphalt will ever get. We seal driveways and lots across Moncton, Riverview and Dieppe before the Petitcodiac valley winter has a chance to chew them up.
Hogan Paving has been laying and maintaining asphalt across New Brunswick since 1990, and Moncton has always been part of our backyard. We are not a franchise that books a parking lot online and drives in from out of province. The same crew that seals a driveway in Moncton West this week is back in Dieppe the next, so we know exactly how the weather here treats pavement.
That matters with sealcoating, because timing is everything. Seal too early in spring and the surface is still cold and damp; seal too late and the first hard frost off the Petitcodiac sets in before the coat has fully cured. We read the actual conditions on your street rather than working off a calendar.
Sealcoating is one piece of how we keep Moncton driveways and lots in good shape. If you are weighing repaving versus maintenance, the full sealcoating service page walks through what sealer does and does not fix, and the Moncton hub covers everything else we do around town.
The reason asphalt fails here is not really the cold, it is the freeze-thaw cycle. Water seeps into tiny surface cracks, freezes overnight, expands, and pries the crack a little wider. Repeat that a few dozen times between November and April and a hairline becomes a pothole. Sealcoating fills those surface pores and locks water out before the cycle can start.
A good seal coat also shrugs off the things Moncton driveways actually face: road salt and brine tracked home from the highway, gas and oil drips, and the relentless UV that bleaches and dries out the binder all summer. We clean the surface, fill the cracks worth filling, and lay an even coat that leaves your asphalt dark, sealed and ready for whatever the valley throws at it.
Most driveways need a fresh coat every two to three years here. We will tell you honestly when yours is due rather than upselling a coat it does not need yet.

Late spring through early fall, once daytime temperatures hold above roughly 10 degrees and there is no rain in the forecast for a day or two. We aim to wrap up most Moncton and Riverview sealing well before the first frosts roll in off the Petitcodiac, so the coat has time to cure hard.
Plan to keep vehicles off for about 24 to 48 hours, a little longer on a hot, humid Dieppe afternoon when the surface stays soft. We will give you a specific window before we leave and, where it helps, block the apron so nobody pulls in early.
Get a straight answer on whether your driveway or lot is due for a coat. We will take a look anywhere from Moncton West to Dieppe and Riverview and quote it honestly.
