Our Services
Driveway Seal Coating
The seal coating process helps to prevent the driveway from developing cracks and potholes, extending the life of the surface. It also enhances the appearance of the driveway, giving it a fresh, clean, and new look.
Parking Lot Seal Coating
Parking lot seal coating should be done every 2-3 years, depending on the amount of traffic and weather conditions the parking lot is exposed to. It is best to have a professional contractor perform the seal coating.
Parking Lot Striping
Bison Seal Coating provides parking lot striping is the process of painting clear and visible lines, symbols, and markings on the surface of a parking lot to organize and guide drivers and pedestrians safely through the area.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to seal coat a driveway in Buffalo?
Western New York gives us a short working season, roughly late spring through early fall. Sealer needs warm pavement, dry weather and no overnight frost to cure properly, so we generally book from May into October. Late summer and early fall are popular because the coating goes down before road salt and freeze thaw start working on your asphalt. Fall dates fill fast, so call Bison Seal Coating at (716) 291-1930 early to hold a spot.
How long before I can drive or park on my newly sealed driveway?
Plan on staying off it for at least 24 hours, and closer to 48 hours in cool or humid weather. Foot traffic is usually fine sooner, but vehicle tires can scuff a coating that has not fully hardened. Turning your wheels while stopped is the most common cause of marks, so roll slowly when you first pull in. We tape off the entrance and walk you through the timing before we leave, and we give you a realistic window based on that day's conditions.
How often should seal coating be redone in Western New York?
Most driveways here do well on a two to three year cycle, and busy commercial parking lots often need attention sooner. Our winters are hard on asphalt: water works into small openings, freezes, expands and widens them, and salt plus plow blades speed up the wear. Sun and oil drips do the rest in summer. If the surface looks gray and dry or you see fine cracking, it is time. Bison Seal Coating can look at yours and tell you honestly.
What prep work happens before you apply sealer, and does it cost extra?
Every job starts with a thorough cleaning: blowing off debris, edging back grass, scrubbing oil spots so the sealer bonds, and filling cracks with hot or cold pour material. Skipping any of that is why cheap jobs peel by spring. Pricing depends on square footage, how much crack filling the surface needs, how many coats you want and access for our equipment.
