TL;DR for Ohio asphalt sealcoat and repair
- Sealcoating is not state-licensed in Ohio; ACPSC and NAPA membership are the industry signals.
- Use asphalt-emulsion sealer, NOT coal-tar (banned or restricted in some Ohio cities due to PAH stormwater concerns).
- Schedule every 2-3 years in Ohio; pavement temperature must be above 50°F for 3 days during and after application.
- Crack fill BEFORE sealcoat is non-negotiable; sealcoat over open cracks just hides damage that grows under the coating.

Frequently asked: Ohio asphalt sealcoat and repair
Are sealcoat contractors licensed in Ohio?
No state license. ACPSC (Asphalt Coatings Professionals Sealcoat Council) and NAPA (National Asphalt Pavement Association) memberships are the industry signals.
Coal-tar or asphalt-emulsion sealer?
Use asphalt-emulsion. Coal-tar has been linked to elevated PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) levels in stormwater runoff and is banned or restricted in some Ohio cities. Asphalt-emulsion is the safer choice and lasts roughly the same.
How often should I sealcoat my driveway in Ohio?
Every 2-3 years. Ohio's freeze-thaw cycle, UV exposure, and salt damage accelerate asphalt oxidation. Crack-fill BEFORE sealcoat is non-negotiable; pavement temperature must be above 50°F for 3 days during and after application.
