What Proper Sealcoating Actually Does

Your asphalt faces a beating every day. Water seeps into small cracks, freezes, and splits them wider. UV rays dry out the binding agents. Road salt and chemicals break down the surface. Without protection, you’re looking at major repairs or complete replacement within a few years.

Quality sealcoating creates a protective barrier that blocks water penetration and shields against UV damage. It fills minor surface imperfections and gives you that rich, dark finish that makes your property look well-maintained. More importantly, it extends your pavement’s lifespan by years.

The math is simple. Sealcoating every few years costs a fraction of what you’ll spend on crack repairs, pothole fixes, or complete resurfacing. You’re not just improving appearance – you’re protecting a significant investment.

Sealcoating Process Bay Point NY

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we clean your asphalt thoroughly. Any debris, oil stains, or loose material gets removed because sealer won’t bond properly to a dirty surface. We’ll also fill any cracks that are larger than hairline – sealer alone won’t fix structural issues.

Next comes the application. We use professional spray equipment for even coverage, paying special attention to edges and high-traffic areas. The sealer needs to cure properly, so we’ll only work when weather conditions are right – typically when temperatures are above 50 degrees with no rain expected for 24 hours.

Curing time depends on temperature and humidity, but you’re usually looking at 12-24 hours before you can walk on it and 48 hours before driving. We’ll give you specific timing based on conditions when we do the work.

What's Included In Our Service

Every sealcoating job includes thorough surface preparation, crack filling for minor fissures, and professional-grade sealer application. We bring our own equipment and handle all the prep work – you don’t need to do anything except move vehicles out of the area.

We’ll assess your asphalt’s condition before starting and let you know if there are issues that need addressing beyond standard sealcoating. Sometimes older surfaces need crack repairs or patching before sealing makes sense. We’d rather tell you upfront than waste your money on a temporary fix.

For commercial properties, we can work around your business hours and coordinate with property managers to minimize disruption. Residential jobs typically take a few hours, while larger parking lots might require scheduling over multiple days depending on size and access needs.

How often should I have my driveway or parking lot sealed?

Most asphalt surfaces in Bay Point need sealing every 2-3 years, but it depends on traffic, weather exposure, and the condition of your pavement. Driveways with light use might go 3-4 years between applications, while busy parking lots or surfaces that get a lot of sun exposure might need attention every 2 years. The key is watching for signs like fading color, minor surface cracking, or areas where water isn’t beading up anymore. If your asphalt is starting to look gray instead of black, or if you can see small cracks forming, it’s time to seal.

What's the best time of year for sealcoating in New York?

Late spring through early fall gives you the best conditions – typically May through September in our area. You need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees with no rain expected for at least 24 hours after application. Summer is ideal because the sealer cures faster in warm, dry conditions, but we can work into fall as long as weather cooperates. Winter sealcoating isn’t effective because the material won’t cure properly in cold temperatures. Spring applications are popular because you’re protecting the surface before summer heat and getting ready for another winter cycle.

How long does sealcoating take to dry and when can I drive on it?

You can typically walk on sealed asphalt after 12-24 hours, but vehicles need to stay off for 48 hours minimum. Hot weather speeds up curing, while cool or humid conditions slow it down. We’ll give you specific timing based on weather conditions when we do your job. The surface might look dry before it’s actually ready for traffic, so following our timeline prevents tire marks or damage to the fresh sealer. For commercial properties, we can often work in sections so you don’t lose all parking at once.

Will sealcoating fix cracks and potholes in my asphalt?

Sealcoating fills hairline cracks and minor surface imperfections, but it won’t fix structural problems like large cracks or potholes. We’ll fill cracks up to about a quarter-inch wide as part of the prep work, but bigger issues need proper crack sealing or patching before we apply sealer. Think of sealcoating as preventive maintenance, not major repair. If your asphalt has significant damage, we’ll let you know what needs fixing first. Applying sealer over major cracks or holes just wastes your money and gives you false confidence in a surface that still has problems.

How much does professional sealcoating cost compared to doing it myself?

DIY sealcoating might seem cheaper upfront, but professional application usually delivers better value long-term. Home improvement store sealers are typically thinner and don’t last as long as commercial-grade materials. Plus, proper surface prep and even application make a huge difference in how well the sealer performs. Most homeowners don’t have spray equipment, so they’re applying with squeegees or brushes, which creates uneven coverage. When you factor in material costs, equipment rental, and your time, professional application often costs only slightly more while delivering significantly better protection and longevity.

What should I do to prepare my driveway before sealcoating?

Move all vehicles and remove any items stored on the asphalt – we need complete access to do the job right. Don’t worry about cleaning; we handle all surface preparation including removing debris, treating oil stains, and filling minor cracks. If you have sprinkler systems, let us know so we can avoid getting sealer on the heads. For commercial properties, coordinate with tenants or employees about parking restrictions during application and curing. The main thing is making sure we have clear access and that vehicles stay off the surface for the full curing period after we’re done.
