Stop Expensive Repairs Before They Start

Your driveway takes a beating from Long Island winters. Salt, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV rays break down asphalt faster than you’d expect. Without protection, small cracks become big problems.

Seal coating creates a barrier that keeps water out and extends your asphalt’s life by years. You’ll see the difference immediately – that fresh, dark appearance that makes your property look well-maintained. More importantly, you’re preventing the kind of damage that leads to complete resurfacing.

The math is simple. Seal coating every few years costs a fraction of what you’ll pay for major repairs or replacement. You’re not just maintaining your driveway – you’re protecting your investment and avoiding headaches down the road.

Experienced Commack Sealcoating Company

We Know Long Island Weather

We’ve been protecting driveways and parking lots across Commack and Long Island for years. We understand what harsh winters and summer heat do to asphalt here.

You won’t find us cutting corners with cheap materials or rushing through surface prep. We use commercial-grade sealers designed for New York’s climate and take the time to do the job right. That means proper cleaning, crack filling, and waiting for ideal weather conditions.

Local property owners trust us because we’re straightforward about what your asphalt needs and when it needs it. No overselling, no surprises – just honest assessment and quality work.

Professional Asphalt Sealing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your asphalt and clean the entire surface. Any oil stains, debris, or vegetation gets removed completely. This step matters more than most people realize – sealer won’t bond properly to a dirty surface.

Next, we fill cracks and repair any damaged areas. Small cracks might seem minor, but they’ll telegraph through new sealer and create weak spots. We address these issues before applying anything.

Then comes the sealer application using professional spray equipment for even coverage. We typically apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat – it penetrates better and lasts longer. Weather conditions have to be right, so we’ll reschedule if rain or extreme temperatures threaten the cure process.

You’ll need to stay off the surface for 24-48 hours depending on conditions. After that, you’ve got a protected driveway that should serve you well for several years.

More Than Just Sealer Application

Our seal coating service includes thorough surface preparation, crack filling, and professional sealer application. We don’t just spray and go – proper prep work makes the difference between a coating that lasts and one that fails early.

You’ll get commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealer depending on your surface and needs. Both offer excellent protection, but we’ll recommend the right option based on your driveway’s condition and traffic patterns.

We handle residential driveways and commercial parking lots throughout Commack. Whether you need a single driveway sealed or multiple properties maintained, we bring the same attention to detail and quality materials to every job. The goal is protection that lasts, not just appearance that fades.

How often should I seal coat my driveway in Commack?

Most driveways in Commack need seal coating every 2-3 years, but it depends on traffic and exposure. A driveway that sees heavy use or gets full sun all day might need attention sooner. You’ll know it’s time when the surface starts looking gray instead of black, or when you can see aggregate showing through. Don’t wait until cracks appear – that means water is already getting in and causing damage. The key is staying ahead of problems, not reacting to them.

What's the best time of year for seal coating on Long Island?

Late spring through early fall works best, typically May through September. You need temperatures above 50 degrees and no rain for at least 24 hours after application. Summer heat actually helps the sealer cure properly, but we avoid the hottest days when material becomes difficult to work with. Fall can work well too, but you’re racing against dropping temperatures. We watch weather forecasts carefully and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right – there’s no point doing the job if it won’t cure properly.

Can you seal coat over existing cracks in my driveway?

Small cracks get filled as part of our process, but larger cracks or structural damage need repair first. Sealer alone won’t fix significant cracking – it’ll just highlight the problems and fail quickly. We’ll assess your driveway’s condition and let you know what repairs are needed before sealing. Sometimes a crack that looks bad is actually just surface level and easy to address. Other times, you might need more extensive repair work. Either way, we’ll give you an honest assessment of what your driveway needs.

How long does seal coating take to dry completely?

You can usually walk on the surface after 4-6 hours, but keep vehicles off for at least 24 hours. In humid conditions or cooler weather, we recommend waiting 48 hours before driving on it. The sealer might look dry on top but still be soft underneath – tire marks from driving too early won’t come out. We’ll give you specific timing based on weather conditions when we do the work. It’s better to wait an extra day than damage a fresh seal coat by rushing back onto it.

What's the difference between coal tar and asphalt emulsion sealer?

Coal tar sealer offers better protection against gas and oil spills, making it ideal for driveways where vehicles park regularly. It also tends to last longer and provides deeper color. Asphalt emulsion sealer is more environmentally friendly and works well for surfaces that don’t see oil exposure. Both protect against weather damage effectively. We’ll recommend the right option based on your specific situation – a commercial parking lot might need coal tar’s durability, while a residential driveway might do fine with asphalt emulsion.

Do I need to seal coat a brand new asphalt driveway?

New asphalt should cure for 6-12 months before seal coating. Fresh asphalt contains oils that need to oxidize and harden first – sealing too early can actually trap these oils and cause problems. You’ll know it’s ready when the surface turns from deep black to gray and feels firm underfoot. Some contractors push immediate sealing on new driveways, but that’s not doing you any favors. Let your new asphalt cure properly, then protect it with seal coating to maximize its lifespan.
