In the Northeast, asphalt driveways take a beating. Between freezing winters, spring thaws, summer heat, and plow season, wear and tear is inevitable - which is why proper maintenance matters more than most homeowners realize.
For Aaron Bovee, owner of Elite Sealcoating & Property Services, driveway care isn’t about quick fixes... it’s about protecting and pro-longing an investment.
“Sealcoating isn’t just cosmetic. Done correctly, it extends the life of your driveway, prevents water intrusion, and helps avoid more costly repairs down the road.”
Founded in 2013, Elite Sealcoating & Property Services is a family-owned business rooted in Saratoga Springs. Aaron, a Saratoga native and graduate of Saratoga Springs High School, brings a background in mechanics, precision, and hands-on craftsmanship to every project. These are values that have become the cornerstone of Elite’s reputation.
Elevate Your Experience
Whether riding in a golf cart at Saratoga National Golf Course, pulling into a commercial parking lot around town, or driving through Saratoga’s luxurious neighborhoods, you’ve likely experienced the difference Elite Sealcoating & Property Services can make.
While driveway maintenance may appear straightforward, Aaron emphasizes that no two asphalt surfaces are the same. Factors such as driveway size, asphalt composition, drainage, sun exposure, surrounding landscapes or hardscapes, and existing cracks all influence how a surface wears, and how it should be maintained.
One of the most commonly underestimated aspects of asphalt maintenance is preparation. Proper cleaning, clearing debris from cracks, selecting the correct crack fillers, and applying sealer evenly within a narrow window of ideal weather conditions are all critical to achieving lasting results. Temperature fluctuations or unexpected rain can quickly compromise a project if timing isn’t right.
For this reason, Elite offers professional evaluations and estimates that help property owners better understand the condition of their asphalt and the options available to them.

Details Matter
Elite’s approach is intentionally thorough. Each project begins with careful evaluation and preparation, followed by using professional-grade equipment and highest-quality commercial materials available in New York not typically available at retail stores. “We deal with bulk material in large tanks delivered by tractor trailers, which saves thousands of the store-bought plastic buckets from going into the landfills each year.”
“We focus on cleanliness, precision, and doing things the right way the first time,” says Aaron.
On job sites, Elite typically has multiple skilled operators working together (often including Aaron himself) ensuring efficiency, safety, and attention to detail from start to finish.
Beyond residential driveways, Elite Sealcoating & Property Services also specializes in commercial parking lots, precision laser-guided line striping, snow management, and comprehensive property solutions - all delivered with the same commitment to quality.
Sealing the Deal
Elite offers free project estimates based on type of asphalt, dimensions, photos, and key details such as layout, shade, and surrounding features like retaining walls or pavers.
Whether you’re maintaining your home or managing a commercial property, Elite Sealcoating & Property Services is a trusted partner in protecting your asphalt.
