What Proper Sealcoating Actually Does

Your asphalt faces a beating every day. Sun breaks down the binders that hold everything together. Water seeps into tiny cracks and freezes, making them bigger. Oil stains set in permanently.

Quality sealcoating creates a barrier that stops this damage before it starts. You’re looking at 3-5 more years of life from your current asphalt. That’s thousands saved compared to premature replacement.

The difference is immediate too. Fresh sealcoating brings back that deep black color that makes your property look maintained and valuable. It’s protection and curb appeal in one application.

Abrams Landing Sealcoating Company

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling asphalt maintenance across Nassau County for years. We understand how Long Island’s climate affects your pavement – the freeze-thaw cycles, the salt damage, the UV exposure.

Most contractors rush the job or skip proper prep work. We don’t. Every surface gets cleaned, cracks get filled, and we only apply sealcoat when conditions are right.

You’re dealing with a local company that’s built our reputation on doing the work correctly the first time.

Our Asphalt Sealing Process

How We Handle Your Sealcoating

First, we clean your asphalt completely. Oil stains get treated, debris gets removed, and we inspect for any damage that needs attention before sealing.

Next comes crack filling if needed. Small cracks get sealed to prevent water infiltration. This step is crucial – sealcoating over unfilled cracks is wasted effort.

Then we apply the sealcoat using professional equipment for even coverage. We use commercial-grade sealer, not the watered-down stuff from big box stores. Two thin coats work better than one thick application.

Finally, we protect the fresh surface while it cures. You’ll know exactly when it’s safe to drive on again.

What's Included in Our Service

Every sealcoating job includes thorough surface preparation, crack filling where needed, and professional application of commercial-grade sealer. We handle both residential driveways and commercial parking lots throughout Abrams Landing.

We time our work around weather conditions because temperature and humidity affect how well sealcoat adheres and cures. Rushing the job when conditions aren’t right leads to peeling and premature failure.

You get clear communication about timing, realistic expectations about cure time, and honest advice about whether your asphalt is ready for sealcoating or needs repair work first.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in New York?

Most driveways in Long Island need sealcoating every 2-3 years, but it depends on traffic and exposure. A driveway that gets heavy use or faces south with full sun exposure might need attention every 2 years. Lighter traffic areas can often go 3-4 years between applications. The key is watching for signs like fading color, small cracks appearing, or water soaking in instead of beading up. Don’t wait until the asphalt looks gray or severely cracked – that means you’ve waited too long and might need repairs before sealcoating.

What's the best time of year for sealcoating in Abrams Landing?

Late spring through early fall works best – typically May through September in our area. You need temperatures above 50 degrees for at least 24 hours after application, no rain in the forecast, and moderate humidity. We avoid the hottest summer days because sealer can dry too quickly and not adhere properly. Fall is actually ideal because temperatures are stable and there’s less chance of sudden weather changes. Winter sealcoating doesn’t work in New York – the material won’t cure properly in cold temperatures.

How long does sealcoating take to dry completely?

You can usually walk on sealed asphalt after 4-6 hours, but wait 24-48 hours before driving on it. Full cure takes about a week. Temperature, humidity, and thickness of application all affect drying time. Cooler, humid conditions slow the process. We always give you specific timing based on weather conditions when we do your job. Don’t rush it – driving on sealcoat that hasn’t fully set can leave tire marks and damage the surface. It’s better to wait an extra day than ruin the job.

Should I fill cracks before sealcoating my driveway?

Yes, absolutely. Sealcoating goes over cracks, it doesn’t fill them. Any crack wider than a hairline needs to be filled first, or water will continue getting underneath and causing more damage. We use hot rubberized crack filler that bonds to the asphalt and moves with temperature changes. Skipping this step is the biggest mistake property owners make – you end up with a nice-looking surface that fails quickly because water is still getting in through the cracks underneath.

Is sealcoating worth the cost compared to just leaving asphalt untreated?

Sealcoating typically costs $0.15-0.25 per square foot. Asphalt replacement runs $3-5 per square foot. A typical driveway might cost $200-400 to seal coat versus $3,000-6,000 to replace. Properly maintained asphalt lasts 20+ years. Neglected asphalt often needs replacement in 10-12 years. The math is clear – regular sealcoating saves thousands long-term. Plus you avoid the hassle and expense of major repairs. It’s preventive maintenance that actually works when done correctly.

Can I seal coat my own driveway or should I hire professionals?

DIY sealcoating often creates more problems than it solves. Store-bought sealer is heavily diluted and doesn’t last. Most homeowners apply it too thick, skip proper cleaning, or work in wrong weather conditions. Professional equipment gives even coverage that hand application can’t match. We also know how to prep the surface correctly and handle repairs that need to happen first. Bad sealcoating jobs actually trap moisture and accelerate damage. Unless you have experience and proper equipment, hire professionals – it’s not worth risking your asphalt investment.
