Your Asphalt Gets Real Protection

You know that sinking feeling when you see your driveway starting to crack and fade. What used to be smooth, dark asphalt now looks weathered and worn. Every winter makes it worse.

Here’s what changes after proper seal coating. Your driveway looks fresh again – that rich black color that makes your whole property look maintained. More importantly, you’ve created a barrier against water, oil, and UV damage that can destroy asphalt.

The cracks stop spreading. Water can’t penetrate and freeze, which is what creates those expensive potholes. You’re looking at 3-5 more years of life from your current asphalt, which beats paying for a complete replacement.

Every job gets the same attention whether it’s a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot. Licensed, insured, and focused on doing it right the first time.

Professional Sealcoating Process Bay Shore

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we clean your asphalt thoroughly. Oil stains, debris, vegetation growing in cracks – everything gets removed. You can’t seal over dirt and expect it to last.

Next comes crack filling. We use hot rubberized crack filler for anything wider than a hairline. This prevents water from getting underneath your new seal coat and causing problems later.

Then we apply two thin coats of commercial-grade sealer using professional squeegees. Not sprayed on like some companies do, which creates an uneven application. Each coat needs to cure properly before we apply the next one. The whole process takes 1-2 days depending on weather and size.

Complete Asphalt Sealing Bay Shore

What's Included in Every Job

Every sealcoating job includes thorough cleaning, crack filling up to 1/4 inch, and two coats of premium sealer. We edge by hand around your garage, walkways, and landscaping for clean lines.

You get protection against water damage, oil stains, and UV rays that fade and weaken asphalt. The sealer we use is designed for Long Island’s climate – it won’t crack in winter cold or soften in summer heat.

We also handle the timing. Spring and fall are ideal for sealcoating because temperatures are consistent and humidity is lower. We’ll schedule your job when conditions are right, not just when it’s convenient. Bad weather means poor adhesion and early failure.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Bay Shore?

Most driveways in Bay Shore need seal coating every 2-3 years, depending on traffic and weather exposure. If your asphalt is starting to look gray instead of black, or you can see small cracks forming, it’s time. Waiting too long means those cracks get bigger and water starts penetrating, which leads to much more expensive repairs. New asphalt should wait at least 6 months before the first seal coating to let the oils cure properly.

What's the difference between cheap and quality seal coating?

Cheap sealcoating uses watered-down sealer that looks good for a few months but doesn’t provide real protection. Quality sealer has higher solids content and better adhesion properties. You’ll see the difference in how it applies – quality sealer goes on evenly and bonds to the asphalt instead of sitting on top. Cheap jobs often peel or wear off in high-traffic areas within the first year. We use commercial-grade sealer that’s designed to last.

How long does seal coating take to dry completely?

You can walk on sealed asphalt after 4-6 hours in good weather, but we recommend waiting 24 hours before driving on it. Full cure takes 48-72 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Cool, humid weather slows the process. We’ll give you specific timing based on current conditions and always err on the side of caution. Driving on sealer that hasn’t cured properly can leave tire marks and damage the surface.

Can you seal coat over cracks and small potholes?

We can fill cracks up to 1/4 inch wide as part of the sealcoating process, but larger cracks and potholes need proper repair first. Sealcoating isn’t a structural repair – it’s a protective coating. If we just seal over big problems, they’ll show through and continue getting worse. We’ll assess your asphalt and recommend crack filling or patching where needed before applying the seal coat. This ensures you get maximum protection and longevity.

What time of year is best for sealcoating in Bay Shore?

Late spring through early fall works best for sealcoating on Long Island. We need temperatures above 50 degrees and no rain in the forecast for 24 hours. Summer can be tricky because extreme heat makes the sealer dry too fast, and high humidity slows curing. September and October are often ideal – warm days, cool nights, and lower humidity. We monitor weather conditions closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right for proper application.

Will sealcoating fix the appearance of oil stains on my driveway?

Sealcoating will darken oil stains and make them less noticeable, but it won’t make them disappear completely. We treat oil stains with primer before sealing, which helps the sealer adhere properly and provides better coverage. Fresh oil stains need to be cleaned thoroughly before we can seal over them – sealer won’t stick to active petroleum. For heavily stained driveways, sealcoating creates a uniform dark appearance that significantly improves the overall look even if some staining is still visible.
