Asphalt Seal Coating & Crack Filling in Hollywood, FL
Hollywood's housing stock leans older than much of Florida — the median home here was built around 1969 according to U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year (2022) data, and whole neighborhoods of one-story concrete-block-and-stucco ranch homes date from the 1950s through the 1970s. Driveways, condo parking lots and private drives that have been in the sun that long take a beating from a humid subtropical climate: long hot summers oxidize asphalt until it turns grey, brittle and porous, and the storm-heavy wet season from roughly May through October pushes water into every open crack.

Why driveway sealcoating is different in Hollywood
Within a mile or two of the Broadwalk and the Intracoastal, salt-laden onshore breezes and constant humidity keep pavement damp and metal corroding — the same conditions that rust gate hardware years faster also mean asphalt rarely gets a long dry spell to shed water on its own. Hollywood's mix of aging block houses with original driveways and dense beachfront condo towers creates two different jobs: homeowner driveways that need cracks sealed before the base washes out, and association-driven common-area lots where faded markings and spreading cracks affect every resident. With Census figures showing about 56.6% owner-occupancy, a large share of local pavement sits under condo and HOA management rather than a single homeowner, so we're used to working around resident parking and association approval steps.
Problems we fix in Hollywood
- Water getting into open cracks
Wind-driven rain during the May–October wet season runs straight into unsealed cracks and saturates the base underneath. Once the base softens, the surface starts to sink and alligator, and filling cracks alone no longer fixes it.
- UV oxidation and a grey, porous surface
Florida's long, intense sun burns the binder out of the top layer until asphalt goes grey, brittle and absorbent. On 1950s–70s Hollywood driveways that have never been sealed, that oxidized skin sheds aggregate and soaks up every storm.
- Oil and fuel softening the binder
Attached one- and two-car garages are common in Hollywood's single-family neighborhoods, and many older carports and converted garages leave cars parked directly on the driveway. Drips of oil and fuel soften asphalt and stop sealer from bonding unless the spots are primed first.
- Sealing over pavement that is already broken
Sealer is a coating, not a structural repair. Potholes, crumbling edges and shattered sections need patching first, or the new coat simply cracks along the same lines within a season of afternoon thunderstorms.
- New asphalt sealed too soon
Newer master-planned construction west of the city often has fresh asphalt on drives and private roads. Fresh pavement has to cure before it can accept sealer; coating it too early traps oils and can leave a soft, marking surface.
- Tracking and tire marks in the heat
Hollywood's heat keeps fresh sealer soft longer, and letting traffic back on early causes scuffing and turn marks. Condo and multi-unit lots need staged sections and clear barricades so cars stay off until each area is ready.
- Worn striping and markings
HOAs, condo associations and gated communities are widespread in Hollywood, especially in beachfront towers and western subdivisions, and faded stall lines, arrows and accessible-space markings become an association problem fast.
What we do
We clean out debris, sand and vegetation, then fill working cracks with rubberized material that flexes instead of splitting. This is the single biggest defense against wet-season water reaching the base.
Contaminated areas near garage aprons and carports get treated and primed so sealer bonds rather than peeling. Skipping this step is a common reason a coat fails in patches.
Squeegee application works well on rough, oxidized older driveways, while spray suits larger lots and private roads. We choose based on surface condition and access.
Failed areas and crumbling edges are patched before any coating goes down. On older Hollywood driveways, unsupported edges are often the first thing to break apart.
We handle condo and HOA lots and private drives, including line striping and markings after sealing. Work can be staged so residents keep usable parking throughout.
Licensing, permits and codes in Florida
Contracting in Florida is overseen by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), which runs the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) and the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board (ECLB); many counties and municipalities also issue their own specialty contractor licenses, and all permitting is handled locally. Routine seal coating and crack filling over existing pavement is typically maintenance, but paving changes, drainage work or striping layout on shared lots can trigger local requirements — and in Hollywood, condo associations, HOAs and gated communities often have their own approval and scheduling rules on top of that. Confirm any permit question with DBPR and your local building department before work is scheduled.
Timing and availability
Local demand tends to move with the calendar: late spring and early summer as residents get ahead of the June 1–November 30 hurricane season, and again during the November–April snowbird season when seasonal owners return and open up homes and condos that sat closed for months. Sealing before the wet season means cracks are closed before wind-driven rain arrives; sealing in the drier winter stretch gives more predictable cure windows. Either way, our phones are answered 24/7 at (888) 996-7488, most areas get same-day or next-day scheduling, and you'll have a free estimate before anyone starts.

Seal Coating questions in Hollywood
When is the best time to seal coat in Hollywood?
Anytime you can get a stretch of dry, rain-free weather works, which is easier outside the roughly May-through-October wet season. Year-round high humidity also slows cure times, so we plan start times around the forecast and afternoon thunderstorms. If your only window is summer, we stage the work and keep traffic off longer.
Does living near the beach change anything?
Homes within a mile or two of the Broadwalk and the Intracoastal deal with constant salt spray and damp air, so pavement stays wet longer and rarely dries out between storms. That makes closing cracks early more important, since standing moisture is what destroys the base. We check drainage and low spots before quoting the work.
My driveway is from the 1960s and never sealed. Is it too late?
With a median build year around 1969 per Census data, that's a familiar situation in Hollywood. If the surface is oxidized but still solid, cleaning, crack filling and a seal coat usually make sense; if sections are broken through to the base, those areas need patching first. The free estimate tells you which you're dealing with before anything is applied.
Do you work on condo and HOA parking lots?
Yes. HOAs, condo associations and gated communities are widespread here, especially in beachfront towers and newer western subdivisions, and those lots often need crack filling, patching, seal coat and fresh line striping together. We can phase sections so residents keep parking available.
Do I need a permit for seal coating?
Seal coating and crack filling over existing pavement is generally maintenance, but requirements are set locally in Florida and associations may have their own rules. Verify with your local building department and with DBPR for licensing questions. We'll tell you what we see on site during the estimate.
