What Proper Sealcoating Actually Does

Your driveway takes a beating from Long Island weather. Rain seeps into cracks, freezing and expanding until small problems become expensive repairs. UV rays fade that rich black color to dull gray. Oil stains set in permanently.

Quality seal coating changes all that. You get a protective barrier that keeps water out and prevents those costly cracks from forming. The surface becomes easier to clean – oil spots wipe away instead of staining permanently. Your driveway looks fresh and well-maintained again.

Most importantly, you’re extending your asphalt’s lifespan by years. That means avoiding the expense and hassle of premature replacement while keeping your property looking its best.

Brookhaven Sealcoating Company

We Know Long Island Asphalt

We’ve been protecting Brookhaven driveways and parking lots for years. We understand how coastal weather affects asphalt differently than inland areas. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and intense summer heat all play a role in how we approach each job.

Our crew uses commercial-grade sealers and professional equipment – the same materials and methods we use on parking lots and commercial properties. We’re not weekend warriors with a squeegee and bucket.

You’re working with contractors who show up when scheduled, explain what we’re doing, and leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Asphalt Sealing Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we clean your driveway thoroughly. Any oil stains get treated with primer. Cracks larger than a quarter-inch are filled and allowed to cure. This prep work determines how long your sealcoating will last.

Next comes application. We use professional spray equipment for even coverage, not brushes or squeegees that leave streaks. Two thin coats perform better than one thick application. Weather conditions matter – we won’t start if rain is coming or temperatures are too low.

After application, your driveway needs 24-48 hours to fully cure depending on humidity and temperature. We’ll give you specific timing based on current conditions. Once cured, you have a durable protective surface that should last 2-3 years with proper maintenance.

How often does my driveway need seal coating in Brookhaven?

Most Brookhaven driveways need sealcoating every 2-3 years, but it depends on traffic and exposure. Driveways with heavy use or full sun exposure may need attention more frequently. You’ll know it’s time when the surface starts looking gray instead of black, or when small cracks begin appearing. The key is staying ahead of major deterioration – it’s much cheaper to maintain than repair. We can assess your specific driveway and give you a realistic timeline based on its current condition and exposure.

What's the best time of year for driveway sealing on Long Island?

Late spring through early fall works best – typically May through September. We need at least 48 hours of dry weather and temperatures above 50 degrees for proper curing. Summer is ideal because the sealer cures faster and harder in warm weather. We avoid scheduling during Long Island’s unpredictable spring weather or too late in fall when temperatures drop unexpectedly. Humidity also affects curing time, so we factor in weather forecasts when scheduling your project.

How long before I can drive on newly sealed asphalt?

Plan on 24-48 hours before driving on your sealed driveway. The exact timing depends on temperature, humidity, and air circulation. Hot, dry, breezy conditions mean faster curing. Cool, humid, still air means longer wait times. We’ll give you specific guidance based on weather conditions during your application. Walking on the surface is usually safe after 4-6 hours, but avoid dragging anything across it. Rushing this step can damage the seal and leave permanent marks.

Should I fill cracks before seal coating my driveway?

Yes, cracks wider than a quarter-inch should be filled first. Sealcoating alone won’t fix structural problems – it’s a protective coating, not a crack repair solution. We use hot rubberized crack filler that moves with temperature changes without breaking. Small hairline cracks often get sealed adequately by the sealcoating itself. Larger cracks that aren’t properly filled will telegraph through the new sealer and continue growing. Proper crack filling before sealcoating gives you the longest-lasting results.

What's the difference between spray application and brush application?

Spray application gives more even coverage and a smoother, more professional appearance. Brushing can leave streaks and uneven thickness, plus it’s harder to get consistent coverage around edges and corners. Professional spray equipment also allows us to work faster with less disruption to your schedule. Some contractors brush because it requires less equipment investment, but the results aren’t comparable. We use spray application because it delivers better protection and appearance – the same method used on commercial parking lots.

How do I maintain my driveway after seal coating?

Keep it clean and address small issues quickly. Sweep regularly to prevent debris buildup. Clean oil spills immediately – fresh sealcoating resists stains much better than old, worn surfaces. Avoid using rock salt in winter; sand or calcium chloride won’t damage the sealer. Don’t let water pool in low spots – proper drainage prevents premature deterioration. Watch for new cracks and have them filled promptly. With basic maintenance, your sealcoating should protect your driveway for 2-3 years before needing reapplication.
